Application Commands#

Command Permission Decorators#

@discord.commands.default_permissions(**perms)[source]#

A decorator that limits the usage of a slash command to members with certain permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under discord.Permissions.

Note

These permissions can be updated by server administrators per-guild. As such, these are only “defaults”, as the name suggests. If you want to make sure that a user always has the specified permissions regardless, you should use an internal check such as has_permissions().

Parameters:

**perms (Dict[str, bool]) – An argument list of permissions to check for.

Return type:

Callable

Example

from discord import default_permissions

@bot.slash_command()
@default_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.respond('You can manage messages.')
@discord.commands.guild_only[source]#

A decorator that limits the usage of a slash command to guild contexts. The command won’t be able to be used in private message channels.

Return type:

Callable

Example

from discord import guild_only

@bot.slash_command()
@guild_only()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("You're in a guild.")
@discord.commands.is_nsfw[source]#

A decorator that limits the usage of a slash command to 18+ channels and users. In guilds, the command will only be able to be used in channels marked as NSFW. In DMs, users must have opted into age-restricted commands via privacy settings.

Note that apps intending to be listed in the App Directory cannot have NSFW commands.

Return type:

Callable

Example

from discord import is_nsfw

@bot.slash_command()
@is_nsfw()
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.respond("This command is age restricted.")

Commands#

Shortcut Decorators#

@discord.commands.application_command(cls=<class 'discord.commands.core.SlashCommand'>, **attrs)[source]#

A decorator that transforms a function into an ApplicationCommand. More specifically, usually one of SlashCommand, UserCommand, or MessageCommand. The exact class depends on the cls parameter. By default, the description attribute is received automatically from the docstring of the function and is cleaned up with the use of inspect.cleandoc. If the docstring is bytes, then it is decoded into str using utf-8 encoding. The name attribute also defaults to the function name unchanged.

New in version 2.0.

Parameters:

  • cls (ApplicationCommand) – The class to construct with. By default, this is SlashCommand. You usually do not change this.

  • attrs – Keyword arguments to pass into the construction of the class denoted by cls.

Returns:

A decorator that converts the provided method into an ApplicationCommand, or subclass of it.

Return type:

Callable[…, ApplicationCommand]

Raises:

TypeError – If the function is not a coroutine or is already a command.

@discord.commands.command(**kwargs)[source]#

An alias for application_command().

Note

This decorator is overridden by ext.commands.command().

New in version 2.0.

Returns:

A decorator that converts the provided method into an ApplicationCommand.

Return type:

Callable[…, ApplicationCommand]

@discord.commands.slash_command(**kwargs)[source]#

Decorator for slash commands that invokes application_command().

New in version 2.0.

Returns:

A decorator that converts the provided method into a SlashCommand.

Return type:

Callable[…, SlashCommand]

@discord.commands.user_command(**kwargs)[source]#

Decorator for user commands that invokes application_command().

New in version 2.0.

Returns:

A decorator that converts the provided method into a UserCommand.

Return type:

Callable[…, UserCommand]

@discord.commands.message_command(**kwargs)[source]#

Decorator for message commands that invokes application_command().

New in version 2.0.

Returns:

A decorator that converts the provided method into a MessageCommand.

Return type:

Callable[…, MessageCommand]

Objects#

Attributes
Methods
class discord.ApplicationCommand(func, **kwargs)[source]#
Parameters:

func (Callable) –

is_on_cooldown(ctx)[source]#

Checks whether the command is currently on cooldown.

Note

This uses the current time instead of the interaction time.

Parameters:

ctx (ApplicationContext) – The invocation context to use when checking the command’s cooldown status.

Returns:

A boolean indicating if the command is on cooldown.

Return type:

bool

reset_cooldown(ctx)[source]#

Resets the cooldown on this command.

Parameters:

ctx (ApplicationContext) – The invocation context to reset the cooldown under.

Return type:

None

get_cooldown_retry_after(ctx)[source]#

Retrieves the amount of seconds before this command can be tried again.

Note

This uses the current time instead of the interaction time.

Parameters:

ctx (ApplicationContext) – The invocation context to retrieve the cooldown from.

Returns:

The amount of time left on this command’s cooldown in seconds. If this is 0.0 then the command isn’t on cooldown.

Return type:

float

error(coro)[source]#

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a local error handler.

A local error handler is an on_command_error() event limited to a single command. However, the on_command_error() is still invoked afterwards as the catch-all.

Parameters:

coro (coroutine) – The coroutine to register as the local error handler.

Raises:

TypeError – The coroutine passed is not actually a coroutine.

has_error_handler()[source]#

Checks whether the command has an error handler registered.

Return type:

bool

before_invoke(coro)[source]#

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a pre-invoke hook. A pre-invoke hook is called directly before the command is called. This makes it a useful function to set up database connections or any type of set up required.

This pre-invoke hook takes a sole parameter, a ApplicationContext. See Bot.before_invoke() for more info.

Parameters:

coro (coroutine) – The coroutine to register as the pre-invoke hook.

Raises:

TypeError – The coroutine passed is not actually a coroutine.

after_invoke(coro)[source]#

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a post-invoke hook. A post-invoke hook is called directly after the command is called. This makes it a useful function to clean-up database connections or any type of clean up required.

This post-invoke hook takes a sole parameter, a ApplicationContext. See Bot.after_invoke() for more info.

Parameters:

coro (coroutine) – The coroutine to register as the post-invoke hook.

Raises:

TypeError – The coroutine passed is not actually a coroutine.

property full_parent_name#

Retrieves the fully qualified parent command name.

This the base command name required to execute it. For example, in /one two three the parent name would be one two.

property qualified_name#

Retrieves the fully qualified command name.

This is the full parent name with the command name as well. For example, in /one two three the qualified name would be one two three.

property qualified_id#

Retrieves the fully qualified command ID.

This is the root parent ID. For example, in /one two three the qualified ID would return one.id.

    Indicates if the message should only be visible to the user. This is only available to WebhookType.application webhooks. If a view is sent with an ephemeral message, and it has no timeout set then the timeout is set to 15 minutes.

    New in version 2.0.
