# Interactions basics, where to get started

This section answers basic questions and common mistakes in handling application commands, and responding to them.

## What's the difference between RespondAsync, DeferAsync and FollowupAsync?

The difference between these 3 functions is in how you handle the command response.
[RespondAsync] and
[DeferAsync] let the API know you have succesfully received the command. This is also called 'acknowledging' a command.
DeferAsync will not send out a response, RespondAsync will.
[FollowupAsync] follows up on succesful acknowledgement.

> [!WARNING]
> If you have not acknowledged the command FollowupAsync will not work! the interaction has not been resonded to, so you cannot follow it up!

[RespondAsync]: xref:Discord.IDiscordInteraction
[DeferAsync]: xref:Discord.IDiscordInteraction
[FollowUpAsync]: xref:Discord.IDiscordInteraction

## Bad form Exception when I try to create my commands, why do I get this?

Bad form exceptions are thrown if the slash, user or message command builder has invalid values.
The following options could resolve your error.

#### Is your command name lowercase?

If your command name is not lowercase, it is not seen as a valid command entry.
`Avatar` is invalid; `avatar` is valid.

#### Are your values below or above the required amount? (This also applies to message components)

Discord expects all values to be below maximum allowed.
Going over this maximum amount of characters causes an exception.

> [!NOTE]
> All maximum and minimum value requirements can be found in the [Discord Developer Docs].
> For components, structure documentation is found [here].

[Discord Developer Docs]: https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-commands
[here]: https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#message-components

#### Is your subcommand branching correct?

Branching structure is covered properly here: xref:Guides.SlashCommands.SubCommand

## My interaction commands are not showing up?

If you registered your commands globally, it can take up to 1 hour for them to register.
Did you register a guild command (should be instant), or waited more than an hour and still don't have them show up?

- Try to check for any errors in the console, there is a good chance something might have been thrown.

- Register your commands after the Ready event in the client. The client is not configured to register commands before this moment.

- Check if no bad form exception is thrown; If so, refer to the above question.

- Do you have the application commands scope checked when adding your bot to guilds?

![Scope check](images/scope.png)

## There are many options for creating commands, which do I use?

[!code-csharp[Register examples](samples/registerint.cs)]

> [!NOTE]
> You can use bulkoverwrite even if there are no commands in guild, nor globally.
> The bulkoverwrite method disposes the old set of commands and replaces it with the new.

## Do I need to create commands on startup?

If you are registering your commands for the first time, it is required to create them once.
After this, commands will exist indefinitely until you overwrite them.
Overwriting is only required if you make changes to existing commands, or add new ones.

## I can't see all of my user/message commands, why?

Message and user commands have a limit of 5 per guild, and another 5 globally.
If you have more than 5 guild-only message commands being registered, no more than 5 will actually show up.
You can get up to 10 entries to show if you register 5 per guild, and another 5 globally.

# Interaction commands in services

A chapter talking about the interaction service framework.
For questions about interactions in general, refer to the [Interactions FAQ]

## Module dependencies aren't getting populated by Property Injection?

Make sure the properties are publicly accessible and publicly settable.

## How do I use this * interaction specific method/property?

If your interaction context holds a down-casted version of the interaction object, you need to up-cast it.
Ideally, use pattern matching to make sure its the type of interaction you are expecting it to be.

## `InteractionService.ExecuteAsync()` always returns a successful result, how do i access the failed command execution results?

If you are using `RunMode.Async` you need to setup your post-execution pipeline around `CommandExecuted` events.

## How do I check if the executing user has * permission?

Refer to the [documentation about preconditions]

## How do I send the HTTP Response from inside the command modules.

Set the `RestResponseCallback` property of [InteractionServiceConfig] with a delegate for handling HTTP Responses and use
`RestInteractionModuleBase` to create your command modules. `RespondAsync()` and `DeferAsync()` methods of this module base will use the
`RestResponseCallback` to create interaction responses.

## Is there a cleaner way of creating parameter choices other than using `[Choice]`?

The default `enum` [TypeConverter] of the Interaction Service will
automatically register `enum`s as multiple choice options.

## How do I add an optional `enum` parameter but make the default value not visible to the user?

The default `enum` [TypeConverter] of the Interaction Service comes with `[Hide]` attribute that
can be used to prevent certain enum values from getting registered.

## How does the InteractionService determine the generic TypeConverter to use for a parameter type?

It compares the _target base type_ key of the
[TypeConverter] and chooses the one that sits highest on the inheritance hierarchy.

# Installing Discord.NET Labs

Discord.NET Labs is the experimental repository that introduces new features & chips away at all bugs until ready for merging into Discord.NET.
Are you looking to test or play with new features?

> [!IMPORTANT]
> It is very ill advised to use Discord.NET Labs in a production environment normally,
> considering it can include bugs that have not been discovered yet, as features are freshly added.
> However if approached correctly, will work as a pre-release to Discord.NET.
> Make sure to report any bugs at the Labs [repository] or on [Discord]

[Discord]: https://discord.gg/dnet
[repository]: https://github.com/Discord-Net-Labs/Discord.Net-Labs

## Installation:

[NuGet] - This only includes releases, on which features are ready to test.

> [!NOTE]
> Installing NuGet packages is covered fully at [Installing Discord NET](xref:Guides.GettingStarted.Installation)

[MyGet] - Available for current builds and unreleased features.

# Installing Discord.Net Nightly Build

Before Discord.Net pushes a new set of features into the stable
version, we use nightly builds to test the features with the
community for an extensive period of time. Each nightly build is
compiled by AppVeyor whenever a new commit is made and will be pushed
to our MyGet feed.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Although nightlies are generally stable and have more features
> and bug fixes than the current stable build on NuGet, there
> will be breaking changes during the development or
> breaking bugs; these bugs are usually fixed as soon as they
> are discovered, but you should still be aware of that.

## Installing with MyGet (Recommended)

MyGet is typically used by many development teams to publish their
latest pre-release packages before the features are finalized and
pushed to NuGet.

The following is the feed link of Discord.Net,

* `https://www.myget.org/F/discord-net/api/v3/index.json`

Depending on which IDE you use, there are many different ways of
adding the feed to your package source.

### [Using Visual Studio](#tab/vs)

1. Go to `Tools` > `NuGet Package Manager` > `Package Manager Settings`

![VS](images/nightlies-vs-step1.png)

2. Go to `Package Sources`

![Package Sources](images/nightlies-vs-step2.png)

3. Click on the add icon
4. Fill in the desired name and source as shown below and hit `Update`

![Add Source](images/nightlies-vs-step4.png)

> [!NOTE]
> Remember to tick the `Include pre-release` checkbox to see the
> nightly builds!
> ![Checkbox](images/nightlies-vs-note.png)

### [Using dotnet CLI](#tab/cli)

1. Launch a terminal of your choice
2. Navigate to where your `*.csproj` is located
3. Type `dotnet add package Discord.Net --source https://www.myget.org/F/discord-net/api/v3/index.json`

### [Using Local NuGet.Config](#tab/local-nuget-config)

If you plan on deploying your bot or developing outside of Visual
Studio, you will need to create a local NuGet configuration file for
your project.

To do this, create a file named `NuGet.Config` alongside the root of
your application, where the project is located.

Paste the following snippets into this configuration file, adding any
additional feeds if necessary.

[!code[NuGet Configuration](samples/nuget.config)]

After which, you may install the packages by directly modifying the
project file and specifying a version, or by using
the [Package Manager Console](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/nuget/tools/powershell-reference)
(`Install-Package Discord.Net -IncludePrerelease`).

***

## Installing from AppVeyor Artifacts

As mentioned in the first paragraph, we utilize AppVeyor to perform
automated tests and publish the new build. During the publishing
process, we also upload the NuGet packages onto
AppVeyor's Artifact collection.

The latest build status can be found within our [AppVeyor project].

[AppVeyor project]: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/rogueexception/discord-net

1. In the project, you may find our latest build including the
aforementioned artifacts.
![Artifacts](images/appveyor-artifacts.png)
2. In the artifacts collection, you should see the latest packages
packed in `*.nupkg` form which you could download from and use.

# Getting started with application commands.

This guide will show you how to use application commands.
If you have extra questions that aren't covered here you can come to our
[Discord](https://discord.com/invite/dvSfUTet3K) server and ask around there.

## What is an application command?

Application commands consist of three different types. Slash commands, context menu User commands and context menu Message commands.
Slash commands are made up of a name, description, and a block of options, which you can think of like arguments to a function.
The name and description help users find your command among many others, and the options validate user input as they fill out your command.
Message and User commands are only a name, to the user. So try to make the name descriptive.
They're accessed by right clicking (or long press, on mobile) a user or a message, respectively.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Context menu commands are currently not supported on mobile.

All three varieties of application commands have both Global and Guild variants.
Your global commands are available in every guild that adds your application.
You can also make commands for a specific guild; they're only available in that guild.
The User and Message commands are more limited in quantity than the slash commands.
For specifics, check out their respective guide pages.

An Interaction is the message that your application receives when a user uses a command.
It includes the values that the user submitted, as well as some metadata about this particular instance of the command being used:
the guild_id,
channel_id,
member and other fields.
You can find all the values in our data models.

## Authorizing your bot for application commands

There is a new special OAuth2 scope for applications called `applications.commands`.
In order to make Application Commands work within a guild, the guild must authorize your application
with the `applications.commands` scope. The bot scope is not enough.

Head over to your discord applications OAuth2 screen and make sure to select the `application.commands` scope.

![OAuth2 scoping](slash-commands/images/oauth.png)

From there you can then use the link to add your bot to a server.

> [!NOTE]
> In order for users in your guild to use your slash commands, they need to have
> the "Use Application Commands" permission on the guild.

# AutocompleteHandlers

[Autocompleters] provide a similar pattern to TypeConverters.
[Autocompleters] are cached, singleton services and they are used by the
Interaction Service to handle Autocomplete Interations targeted to a specific Slash Command parameter.

To start using AutocompleteHandlers, use the `[AutocompleteAttribute(Type type)]` overload of the [AutocompleteAttribute].
This will dynamically link the parameter to the [AutocompleteHandler] type.

AutocompleteHandlers raise the `AutocompleteHandlerExecuted` event on execution. This event can be also used to create a post-execution logic, just like the `*CommandExecuted` events.

## Creating AutocompleteHandlers

A valid AutocompleteHandlers must inherit [AutocompleteHandler] base type and implement all of its abstract methods.

### GenerateSuggestionsAsync()

The Interactions Service uses this method to generate a response of an Autocomplete Interaction.
This method should return `AutocompletionResult.FromSuccess(IEnumerable<AutocompleteResult>)` to
display parameter suggestions to the user. If there are no suggestions to be presented to the user, you have two results:

1. Returning the parameterless `AutocompletionResult.FromSuccess()` will display a "No options match your search." message to the user.
2. Returning `AutocompleteResult.FromError()` will make the Interaction Service **not** respond to the interaction,
consequently displaying the user a "Loading options failed." message. `AutocompletionResult.FromError()` is solely used for error handling purposes. Discord currently doesn't allow
you to display custom error messages. This result type will be directly returned to the `AutocompleteHandlerExecuted` method.

## Resolving AutocompleteHandler Dependencies

AutocompleteHandler dependencies are resolved using the same dependency injection
pattern as the Interaction Modules.
Property injection and constructor injection are both valid ways to get service dependencies.

Because [AutocompleterHandlers] are constructed at service startup,
class dependencies are resolved only once.

> [!NOTE]
> If you need to access per-request dependencies you can use the
> IServiceProvider parameter of the `GenerateSuggestionsAsync()` method.

title: Introduction to the Interaction Service

# Getting Started

The Interaction Service provides an attribute based framework for creating Discord Interaction handlers.

To start using the Interaction Service, you need to create a service instance.
Optionally you can provide the [InteractionService] constructor with a
[InteractionServiceConfig] to change the services behaviour to suit your needs.

```csharp
...
// _client here is DiscordSocketClient.
// A different approach to passing in a restclient is also possible.
var _interactionService = new InteractionService(_client.Rest);

...
```

## Modules

Attribute based Interaction handlers must be defined within a command module class.
Command modules are responsible for executing the Interaction handlers and providing them with the necessary execution info and helper functions.

Command modules are transient objects.
A new module instance is created before a command execution starts then it will be disposed right after the method returns.

Every module class must:

- be public
- inherit [InteractionModuleBase]

Optionally you can override the included :

- OnModuleBuilding (executed after the module is built)
- BeforeExecute (executed before a command execution starts)
- AfterExecute (executed after a command execution concludes)

methods to configure the modules behaviour.

Every command module exposes a set of helper methods, namely:

- `RespondAsync()` => Respond to the interaction
- `FollowupAsync()` => Create a followup message for an interaction
- `ReplyAsync()` => Send a message to the origin channel of the interaction
- `DeleteOriginalResponseAsync()` => Delete the original interaction response

## Commands

Valid **Interaction Commands** must comply with the following requirements:

| | return type | max parameter count | allowed parameter types | attribute |
|-------------------------------|------------------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------|
|[Slash Command](#slash-commands)| `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | 25 | any* | `[SlashCommand]` |
|[User Command](#user-commands) | `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | 1 | Implementations of `IUser` | `[UserCommand]` |
|[Message Command](#message-commands)| `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | 1 | Implementations of `IMessage` | `[MessageCommand]` |
|[Component Interaction Command](#component-interaction-commands)| `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | inf | `string` or `string[]` | `[ComponentInteraction]` |
|[Autocomplete Command](#autocomplete-commands)| `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | - | - | `[AutocompleteCommand]`|

> [!NOTE]
> a `TypeConverter` that is capable of parsing type in question must be registered to the [InteractionService] instance.
> You should avoid using long running code in your command module.
> Depending on your setup, long running code may block the Gateway thread of your bot, interrupting its connection to Discord.

## Slash Commands

Slash Commands are created using the [SlashCommandAttribute].
Every Slash Command must declare a name and a description.
You can check Discords **Application Command Naming Guidelines**
[here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-naming).

[!code-csharp[Slash Command](samples/intro/slashcommand.cs)]

### Parameters

Slash Commands can have up to 25 method parameters. You must name your parameters in accordance with
[Discords Naming Guidelines](https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-naming).
[InteractionService] also features a pascal casing seperator for formatting parameter names with
pascal casing into Discord compliant parameter names('parameterName' => 'parameter-name').
By default, your methods can feature the following parameter types:

- Implementations of [IUser]
- Implementations of [IChannel]
- Implementations of [IRole]
- Implementations of [IMentionable]
- `string`
- `float`, `double`, `decimal`
- `bool`
- `char`
- `sbyte`, `byte`
- `int16`, `int32`, `int64`
- `uint16`, `uint32`, `uint64`
- `enum` (Values are registered as multiple choice options and are enforced by Discord. Use `[HideAttribute]` on enum values to prevent them from getting registered.)
- `DateTime`
- `TimeSpan`

---

**You can use more specialized implementations of [IChannel] to restrict the allowed channel types for a channel type option.*
| interface | Channel Type |
|---------------------|-------------------------------|
| `IStageChannel` | Stage Channels |
| `IVoiceChannel` | Voice Channels |
| `IDMChannel` | DM Channels |
| `IGroupChannel` | Group Channels |
| `ICategory Channel` | Category Channels |
| `INewsChannel` | News Channels |
| `IThreadChannel` | Public, Private, News Threads |
| `ITextChannel` | Text Channels |

---

#### Optional Parameters

Parameters with default values (ie. `int count = 0`) will be displayed as optional parameters on Discord Client.

#### Parameter Summary

By using the [SummaryAttribute] you can customize the displayed name and description of a parameter

[!code-csharp[Summary Attribute](samples/intro/summaryattribute.cs)]

#### Parameter Choices

[ChoiceAttribute] can be used to add choices to a parameter.

[!code-csharp[Choice Attribute](samples/intro/groupattribute.cs)]

This Slash Command will be displayed exactly the same as the previous example.

#### Channel Types

Channel types for an [IChannel] parameter can also be restricted using the [ChannelTypesAttribute].

[!code-csharp[Channel Attribute](samples/intro/channelattribute.cs)]

In this case, user can only input Stage Channels and Text Channels to this parameter.

#### Min/Max Value

You can specify the permitted max/min value for a number type parameter using the [MaxValueAttribute] and [MinValueAttribute].

## User Commands

A valid User Command must have the following structure:

[!code-csharp[User Command](samples/intro/usercommand.cs)]

> [!WARNING]
> User commands can only have one parameter and its type must be an implementation of [IUser].

## Message Commands

A valid Message Command must have the following structure:

[!code-csharp[Message Command](samples/intro/messagecommand.cs)]

> [!WARNING]
> Message commands can only have one parameter and its type must be an implementation of [IMessage].

## Component Interaction Commands

Component Interaction Commands are used to handle interactions that originate from **Discord Message Component**s.
This pattern is particularly useful if you will be reusing a set a **Custom ID**s.

Component Interaction Commands support wild card matching,
by default `*` character can be used to create a wild card pattern.
Interaction Service will use lazy matching to capture the words corresponding to the wild card character.
And the captured words will be passed on to the command method in the same order they were captured.

[!code-csharp[Button](samples/intro/button.cs)]

You may use as many wild card characters as you want.

> [!NOTE]
> If Interaction Service recieves a component interaction with **player:play,rickroll** custom id,
> `op` will be *play* and `name` will be *rickroll*

## Select Menus

Unlike button interactions, select menu interactions also contain the values of the selected menu items.
In this case, you should structure your method to accept a string array.

[!code-csharp[Dropdown](samples/intro/dropdown.cs)]

> [!NOTE]
> Wildcards may also be used to match a select menu ID,
> though keep in mind that the array containing the select menu values should be the last parameter.

## Autocomplete Commands

Autocomplete commands must be parameterless methods. A valid Autocomplete command must have the following structure:

[!code-csharp[Autocomplete Command](samples/intro/autocomplete.cs)]

Alternatively, you can use the [AutocompleteHandlers] to simplify this workflow.

## Interaction Context

Every command module provides its commands with an execution context.
This context property includes general information about the underlying interaction that triggered the command execution.
The base command context.

You can design your modules to work with different implementation types of [IInteractionContext].
To achieve this, make sure your module classes inherit from the generic variant of the [InteractionModuleBase].

> [!NOTE]
> Context type must be consistent throughout the project, or you will run into issues during runtime.

The [InteractionService] ships with 4 different kinds of [InteractionContext]:

1. [InteractionContext]]: A bare-bones execution context consisting of only implementation neutral interfaces
2. [SocketInteractionContext]: An execution context for use with [DiscordSocketClient]. Socket entities are exposed in this context without the need of casting them.
3. [ShardedInteractionContext]: [DiscordShardedClient] variant of the [SocketInteractionContext]
4. [RestInteractionContext]: An execution context designed to be used with a [DiscordRestClient] and webhook based interactions pattern

You can create custom Interaction Contexts by implementing the [IInteractionContext] interface.

One problem with using the concrete type InteractionContexts is that you cannot access the information that is specific to different interaction types without casting. Concrete type interaction contexts are great for creating shared interaction modules but you can also use the generic variants of the built-in interaction contexts to create interaction specific interaction modules.

> [!INFO]
> Message component interactions have access to a special method called `UpdateAsync()` to update the body of the method the interaction originated from.
> Normally this wouldn't be accessable without casting the `Context.Interaction`.

[!code-csharp[Context Example](samples/intro/context.cs)]

## Loading Modules

[InteractionService] can automatically discover and load modules that inherit [InteractionModuleBase] from an `Assembly`.
Call `InteractionService.AddModulesAsync()` to use this functionality.

> [!NOTE]
> You can also manually add Interaction modules using the `InteractionService.AddModuleAsync()`
> method by providing the module type you want to load.

## Resolving Module Dependencies

Module dependencies are resolved using the Constructor Injection and Property Injection patterns.
Meaning, the constructor parameters and public settable properties of a module will be assigned using the `IServiceProvider`.
For more information on dependency injection, read the [DependencyInjection] guides.

> [!NOTE]
> On every command execution, module dependencies are resolved using a new service scope which allows you to utilize scoped service instances, just like in Asp.Net.
> Including the precondition checks, every module method is executed using the same service scope and service scopes are disposed right after the `AfterExecute` method returns.

## Module Groups

Module groups allow you to create sub-commands and sub-commands groups.
By nesting commands inside a module that is tagged with [GroupAttribute] you can create prefixed commands.

> [!WARNING]
> Although creating nested module stuctures are allowed,
> you are not permitted to use more than 2 [GroupAttribute]'s in module hierarchy.

## Executing Commands

Any of the following socket events can be used to execute commands:

- [InteractionCreated]
- [ButtonExecuted]
- [SelectMenuExecuted]
- [AutocompleteExecuted]
- [UserCommandExecuted]
- [MessageCommandExecuted]

Commands can be either executed on the gateway thread or on a seperate thread from the thread pool. This behaviour can be configured by changing the *RunMode* property of `InteractionServiceConfig` or by setting the *runMode* parameter of a command attribute.

You can also configure the way [InteractionService] executes the commands.
By default, commands are executed using `ConstructorInfo.Invoke()` to create module instances and
`MethodInfo.Invoke()` method for executing the method bodies.
By setting, `InteractionServiceConfig.UseCompiledLambda` to `true`, you can make [InteractionService] create module instances and execute commands using
*Compiled Lambda* expressions. This cuts down on command execution time but it might add some memory overhead.

Time it takes to create a module instance and execute a `Task.Delay(0)` method using the Reflection methods compared to Compiled Lambda expressions:

| Method | Mean | Error | StdDev |
|----------------- |----------:|---------:|---------:|
| ReflectionInvoke | 225.93 ns | 4.522 ns | 7.040 ns |
| CompiledLambda | 48.79 ns | 0.981 ns | 1.276 ns |

## Registering Commands to Discord

Application commands loaded to the Interaction Service can be registered to Discord using a number of different methods.
In most cases `RegisterCommandsGloballyAsync()` and `RegisterCommandsToGuildAsync()` are the methods to use.
Command registration methods can only be used after the gateway client is ready or the rest client is logged in.

[!code-csharp[Registering Commands Example](samples/intro/registering.cs)]

Methods like `AddModulesToGuildAsync()`, `AddCommandsToGuildAsync()`, `AddModulesGloballyAsync()` and `AddCommandsGloballyAsync()`
can be used to register cherry picked modules or commands to global/guild scopes.

> [!NOTE]
> In debug environment, since Global commands can take up to 1 hour to register/update,
> it is adviced to register your commands to a test guild for your changes to take effect immediately.
> You can use preprocessor directives to create a simple logic for registering commands as seen above

## Interaction Utility

Interaction Service ships with a static `InteractionUtiliy`
class which contains some helper methods to asynchronously waiting for Discord Interactions.
For instance, `WaitForInteractionAsync()` method allows you to wait for an Interaction for a given amount of time.
This method returns the first encountered Interaction that satisfies the provided predicate.

> [!WARNING]
> If you are running the Interaction Service on `RunMode.Sync` you should avoid using this method in your commands,
> as it will block the gateway thread and interrupt your bots connection.

## Webhook Based Interactions

Instead of using the gateway to recieve Discord Interactions, Discord allows you to recieve Interaction events over Webhooks.
Interaction Service also supports this Interaction type but to be able to
respond to the Interactions within your command modules you need to perform the following:

- Make your modules inherit `RestInteractionModuleBase`
- Set the `ResponseCallback` property of `InteractionServiceConfig` so that the `ResponseCallback`
delegate can be used to create HTTP responses from a deserialized json object string.
- Use the interaction endpoints of the module base instead of the interaction object (ie. `RespondAsync()`, `FollowupAsync()`...).

# Post-Execution Logic

Interaction Service uses [IResult] to provide information about the state of command execution.
These can be used to log internal exceptions or provide some insight to the command user.

If you are running your commands using `RunMode.Sync` these command results can be retrieved from
the return value of [InteractionService.ExecuteCommandAsync] method or by
registering delegates to Interaction Service events.

If you are using the `RunMode.Async` to run your commands,
you must use the Interaction Service events to get the execution results. When using `RunMode.Async`,
[InteractionService.ExecuteCommandAsync] will always return a successful result.

[InteractionService.ExecuteCommandAsync]: xref: Discord.Interactions.InteractionService.ExecuteCommandAsync*

## Results

Interaction Result come in a handful of different flavours:

1. [AutocompletionResult]: returned by Autocompleters
2. [ExecuteResult]: contains the result of method body execution process
3. [PreconditionGroupResult]: returned by Precondition groups
4. [PreconditionResult]: returned by preconditions
5. [RuntimeResult]: a user implementable result for returning user defined results
6. [SearchResult]: returned by command lookup map
7. [TypeConverterResult]: returned by TypeConverters

> [!NOTE]
> You can either use the [IResult.Error] property of an Interaction result or create type check for the
> afformentioned result types to branch out your post-execution logic to handle different situations.

[SearchResult]: xref:Discord.Interactions.SearchResult
[TypeConverterResult]: xref:Discord.Interactions.TypeConverterResult
[IResult.Error]: xref:Discord.Interactions.IResult.Error*

## CommandExecuted Events

Every time a command gets executed, Interaction Service raises a `CommandExecuted` event.
These events can be used to create a post-execution pipeline.

[!code-csharp[Error Review](samples/postexecution/error_review.cs)

## Log Event

InteractionService regularly outputs information about the occuring events to keep the developer informed.

## Runtime Result

Interaction commands allow you to return `Task<RuntimeResult>` to pass on additional information about the command execution
process back to your post-execution logic.

Custom [RuntimeResult] classes can be created by inheriting the base [RuntimeResult] class.

If command execution process reaches the method body of the command and no exceptions are thrown during
the execution of the method body, [RuntimeResult] returned by your command will be accessible by casting/type-checking the
[IResult] parameter of the `CommandExecuted` event delegate.

# Preconditions

Precondition logic is the same as it is for Text-based commands.
A list of attributes and usage is still given for people who are new to both.

There are two types of Preconditions you can use:

* [PreconditionAttribute] can be applied to Modules, Groups, or Commands.
* [ParameterPreconditionAttribute] can be applied to Parameters.

You may visit their respective API documentation to find out more.

[PreconditionAttribute]: xref:Discord.Interactions.PreconditionAttribute
[ParameterPreconditionAttribute]: xref:Discord.Interactions.ParameterPreconditionAttribute

## Bundled Preconditions

@Discord.Interactions ships with several bundled Preconditions for you
to use.

* @Discord.Interactions.RequireContextAttribute
* @Discord.Interactions.RequireOwnerAttribute
* @Discord.Interactions.RequireBotPermissionAttribute
* @Discord.Interactions.RequireUserPermissionAttribute
* @Discord.Interactions.RequireNsfwAttribute
* @Discord.Interactions.RequireRoleAttribute

## Using Preconditions

To use a precondition, simply apply any valid precondition candidate to
a command method signature as an attribute.

[!code-csharp[Precondition usage](samples/preconditions/precondition_usage.cs)]

## ORing Preconditions

When writing commands, you may want to allow some of them to be
executed when only some of the precondition checks are passed.

This is where the [Group] property of a precondition attribute comes in
handy. By assigning two or more preconditions to a group, the command
system will allow the command to be executed when one of the
precondition passes.

### Example - ORing Preconditions

[!code-csharp[OR Precondition](samples/preconditions/group_precondition.cs)]

[Group]: xref:Discord.Commands.PreconditionAttribute.Group

## Custom Preconditions

To write your own Precondition, create a new class that inherits from
either [PreconditionAttribute] or [ParameterPreconditionAttribute]
depending on your use.

In order for your Precondition to function, you will need to override
the [CheckPermissionsAsync] method.

If the context meets the required parameters, return
[PreconditionResult.FromSuccess], otherwise return
[PreconditionResult.FromError] and include an error message if
necessary.

> Visual Studio can help you implement missing members
> from the abstract class by using the "Implement Abstract Class"

# TypeConverters

[TypeConverters] are responsible for registering command parameters to Discord and parsing the user inputs into method parameters.

By default, TypeConverters for the following types are provided with @Discord.Interactions library.

- Implementations of [IUser]
- Implementations of [IChannel]
- Implementations of [IRole]
- Implementations of [IMentionable]
- `string`
- `float`, `double`, `decimal`
- `bool`
- `char`
- `sbyte`, `byte`
- `int16`, `int32`, `int64`
- `uint16`, `uint32`, `uint64`
- `enum`
- `DateTime`
- `TimeSpan`

## Creating TypeConverters

Depending on your needs, there are two types of TypeConverters you can create:

- Concrete type
- Generic type

A valid converter must inherit [TypeConverter] base type. And override the abstract base methods.

### CanConvertTo() Method

This method is used by Interaction Service to search for alternative Type Converters.

Interaction Services determines the most suitable [TypeConverter] for a parameter type in the following order:

1. It searches for a [TypeConverter] that is registered to specifically target that parameter type
2. It searches for a [TypeConverter] that returns `true` when its `CanConvertTo()` method is invoked for thaty parameter type.
3. It searches for a generic `TypeConverter<T>` with a matching type constraint. If there are more multiple matches,
the one whose type constraint is the most specialized will be chosen.

> [!NOTE}
> Alternatively, you can use the generic variant (`TypeConverter<T>`) of the
> [TypeConverter] base class which implements the following method body for `CanConvertTo()` method

```csharp
public sealed override bool CanConvertTo (Type type) =>
typeof(T).IsAssignableFrom(type);
```

### GetDiscordType() Method

This method is used by [InteractionService] to determine the
[Discord Application Command Option type](https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-type)
of a parameter type.

### ReadAsync() Method

This method is used by [InteractionService] to parse the user input.
This method should return @Discord.Interactions.TypeConverterResult.FromSuccess* if the parsing operation is successful,
otherwise it should return @Discord.Interactions.TypeConverterResult.FromError* .
The inner logic of this method is totally up to you,
however you should avoid using long running code.

### Write() Method

This method is used to configure the **Discord Application Command Option** before it gets registered to Discord.
Command Option is configured by modifying the `ApplicationCommandOptionProperties` instance.

> [!WARNING]
> The default parameter building pipeline is isolated and will not be disturbed by the [TypeConverter] workflow.
> But changes made in this method will override the values generated by the
> [InteractionService] for a **Discord Application Command Option**.

## Example Enum TypeConverter

[!code-csharp[Enum Converter](samples/typeconverters/enum_converter.cs)]

> [!IMPORTANT]
> TypeConverters must be registered prior to module discovery.
> If Interaction Service encounters a parameter type that doesn't belong to any of the
> registered [TypeConverters] during this phase, it will throw an exception.

## Concrete TypeConverters

Registering Concrete TypeConverters are as simple as creating an instance of your custom converter and invoking `AddTypeConverter()` method.

```csharp
interactionService.AddTypeConverter<string[]>(new StringArrayConverter());
```

## Generic TypeConverters

To register a generic `TypeConverter<T>`, you need to invoke the `AddGenericTypeConverter()` method of the Interaction Service class.
You need to pass the type of your `TypeConverter<T>` and a target base type to this method.

For instance, to register the previously mentioned enum converter the following can be used:

```csharp
interactionService.AddGenericTypeConverter<Enum>(typeof(EnumConverter<>));
```

Interaction service checks if the target base type satisfies the type constraints of the Generic `TypeConverter` class.

> [!NOTE]
> Dependencies of Generic TypeConverters are also resolved using the Dependency Injection pattern.

[TypeConverter]: xref:Discord.Interactions.TypeConverter
[InteractionService]: xref:Discord.Interactions.InteractionService
[IChannel]: xref:Discord.IChannel
[IRole]: xref:Discord.IRole
[IUser]: xref:Discord.IUser
[IMentionable]: xref:Discord.IMentionable

# Getting started with application commands.

Welcome! This guide will show you how to use application commands.

## What is an application command?

Application commands consist of three different types. Slash commands, context menu User commands and context menu Message commands.
Slash commands are made up of a name, description, and a block of options, which you can think of like arguments to a function. The name and description help users find your command among many others, and the options validate user input as they fill out your command.
Message and User commands are only a name, to the user. So try to make the name descriptive. They're accessed by right clicking (or long press, on mobile) a user or a message, respectively.

All three varieties of application commands have both Global and Guild variants. Your global commands are available in every guild that adds your application. You can also make commands for a specific guild; they're only available in that guild. The User and Message commands are more limited in quantity than the slash commands. For specifics, check out their respective guide pages.

An Interaction is the message that your application receives when a user uses a command. It includes the values that the user submitted, as well as some metadata about this particular instance of the command being used: the guild_id, channel_id, member and other fields. You can find all the values in our data models.

## Authorizing your bot for application commands

There is a new special OAuth2 scope for applications called `applications.commands`. In order to make Application Commands work within a guild, the guild must authorize your application with the `applications.commands` scope. The bot scope is not enough.

Head over to your discord applications OAuth2 screen and make sure to select the `application.commands` scope.

![OAuth2 scoping](slash-commands/images/oauth.png)

From there you can then use the link to add your bot to a server.

> [!NOTE]
> In order for users in your guild to use your slash commands, they need to have the "Use Slash Command" permission on the guild.

# Autocompleters

Autocompleters provide a similar pattern to TypeConverters. Autocompleters are cached, singleton services and they are used by the Interaction Service to handle Autocomplete Interations targeted to a specific Slash Command parameter.

To start using Autocompleters, use the `[AutocompleteAttribute(Type autocompleterType)]` overload of the `[AutocompleteAttribute]`. This will dynamically link the parameter to the Autocompleter type.

## Creating Autocompleters

A valid Autocompleter must inherit `AutocompleteHandler` base type and implement all of its abstract methods.

### GenerateSuggestionsAsync()

Interactions Service uses this method to generate a response to a Autocomplete Interaction. This method should return `AutocompletionResult.FromSuccess(IEnumerable<AutocompleteResult>)` to display parameter sugesstions to the user. If there are no suggestions to be presented to the user, you have two options:

1. Returning the parameterless `AutocompletionResult.FromSuccess()` will display "No options match your search." message to the user.
2. Returning `AutocompleteResult.FromError()` will make the Interaction Service not respond to the interation, consequently displaying the user "Loading options failed." message.

## Resolving Autocompleter Dependencies

Autocompleter dependencies are resolved using the same dependency injection pattern as the Interaction Modules. Property injection and constructor injection are both valid ways to get service dependencies.

Because Autocompleters are constructed at service startup, class dependencies are resolved only once. If you need to access per-request dependencies you can use the IServiceProvider parameter of the `GenerateSuggestionsAsync()` method.

# Dependency Injection

Interaction Service uses dependency injection to perform most of its operations. This way, you can access service dependencies throughout the framework.

## Setup

1. Create a `Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection.ServiceCollection`.
2. Add the dependencies you wish to use in the modules.
3. Build a `IServiceProvider` using the `BuildServiceProvider()` method of the `ServiceCollection`.
4. Pass the `IServiceProvider` to `AddModulesAsync()`, `AddModuleAsync()` and `ExecuteAsync()` methods.

## Accessing the Dependencies

Services of a `IServiceProvider` can be accessed using *Contructor Injection* and *Property Injection*.

Interaction Service will populate the constructor parameters using the provided `IServiceProvider`. Any public settable class Property will also be populated in the same manner.

## Service Scopes

Interaction Service has built-in support for scoped service types. Scoped lifetime services are instantiated once per command execution. Including the Preconditon checks, every module operation is executed within a single service scope (which is sepearate from the global service scope).

> For more in-depth information about service lifetimes check out [Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/dependency-injection?view=aspnetcore-5.0#service-lifetimes-1).

title: Introduction to the Interaction Framework

# Getting Started

Interaction Service provides an attribute based framework for creating Discord Interaction handlers.

To start using the Interaction Service, you need to create a service instance. Optionally you can provide the `InterctionService` constructor with a `InteractionServiceConfig` to change the services behaviour to suit your needs.

```csharp
...

var commands = new InteractionService(discord);

...
```

## Modules

Attribute based Interaction handlers must be defined within a command module class. Command modules are responsible for executing the Interaction handlers and providing them with the necessary execution info and helper functions.

Command modules are transient objects. A new module instance is created before a command execution starts then it will be disposed right after the method returns.

Every module class must:

- be public
- inherit `InteractionModuleBase`

Optionally you can override the included :

- OnModuleBuilding (executed after the module is built)
- BeforeExecute (executed before a command execution starts)
- AfterExecute (executed after a command execution concludes)

methods to configure the modules behaviour.

Every command module exposes a set of helper methods, namely:

- `RespondAsync()` => Respond to the interaction
- `FollowupAsync()` => Create a followup message for an interaction
- `ReplyAsync()` => Send a message to the origin channel of the interaction
- `DeleteOriginalResponseAsync()` => Delete the original interaction response

## Commands

Valid **Interaction Commands** must comply with the following requirements:

| | return type | max parameter count | allowed parameter types | attribute |
|-------------------------------|------------------------------|---------------------|-------------------------------|--------------------------|
|[Slash Command](#slash-commands)| `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | 25 | any* | `[SlashCommand]` |
|[User Command](#user-commands) | `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | 1 | Implementations of `IUser` | `[UserCommand]` |
|[Message Command](#message-commands)| `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | 1 | Implementations of `IMessage` | `[MessageCommand]` |
|[Component Interaction Command](#component-interaction-commands)| `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | inf | `string` or `string[]` | `[ComponentInteraction]` |
|[Autocomplete Command](#autocomplete-commands)| `Task`/`Task<RuntimeResult>` | - | - | `[AutocompleteCommand]`|

> [!NOTE]
> a `TypeConverter` that is capable of parsing type in question must be registered to the `InteractionService` instance.

You should avoid using long running code in your command module. Depending on your setup, long running code may block the Gateway thread of your bot, interrupting its connection to Discord.

### Slash Commands

Slash Commands are created using the `[SlashCommandAttribute]`. Every Slash Command must declare a name and a description. You can check Discords **Application Command Naming Guidelines** [here](https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-naming).

```csharp
[SlashCommand("echo", "Echo an input")]
public async Task Echo(string input)
{
await RespondAsync(input);
}
```

#### Parameters

Slash Commands can have up to 25 method parameters. You must name your parameters in accordance with [Discords Naming Guidelines](https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-naming). Interaction Service also features a pascal casing seperator for formatting parameter names with pascal casing into Discord compliant parameter names('parameterName' => 'parameter-name'). By default, your methods can feature the following parameter types:

- Implementations of `IUser`
- Implementations of `IChannel`*
- Implementations of `IRole`
- Implementations of `IMentionable`
- `string`
- `float`, `double`, `decimal`
- `bool`
- `char`
- `sbyte`, `byte`
- `int16`, `int32`, `int64`
- `uint16`, `uint32`, `uint64`
- `enum` (Values are registered as multiple choice options and are enforced by Discord. Use `[HideAttribute]' on enum values to prevent them from getting registered.)
- `DateTime`
- `TimeSpan`

---

**You can use more specialized implementations of `IChannel` to restrict the allowed channel types for a channel type option.*
| interface | Channel Type |
|---------------------|-------------------------------|
| `IStageChannel` | Stage Channels |
| `IVoiceChannel` | Voice Channels |
| `IDMChannel` | DM Channels |
| `IGroupChannel` | Group Channels |
| `ICategory Channel` | Category Channels |
| `INewsChannel` | News Channels |
| `IThreadChannel` | Public, Private, News Threads |
| `ITextChannel` | Text Channels |

---

##### Optional Parameters

Parameters with default values (ie. `int count = 0`) will be displayed as optional parameters on Discord Client.

##### Parameter Summary

By using the `[SummaryAttribute]` you can customize the displayed name and description of a parameter

```csharp
[Summary(description: "this is a parameter description")] string input
```

##### Parameter Choices

`[ChoiceAttribute]` can be used to add choices to a parameter.

```csharp
[SlashCommand("blep", "Send a random adorable animal photo")]
public async Task Blep([Choice("Dog","dog"), Choice("Cat", "cat"), Choice("Penguin", "penguin")] string animal)
{
...
}
```

In most cases, instead of relying on this attribute, you should use an `Enum` to create multiple choice parameters. Ex.

```csharp
public enum Animal
{
Cat,
Dog,
Penguin
}

[SlashCommand("blep", "Send a random adorable animal photo")]
public async Task Blep(Animal animal)
{
...
}
```

This Slash Command will be displayed exactly the same as the previous example.

##### Channel Types

Channel types for an `IChannel` parameter can also be restricted using the `[ChannelTypesAttribute]`.

```csharp
[SlashCommand("name", "Description")]
public async Task Command([ChannelTypes(ChannelType.Stage, ChannelType.Text)]IChannel channel)
{
...
}
```

In this case, user can only input Stage Channels and Text Channels to this parameter.

##### Autocomplete

You can enable Autocomple Interactions for a Slash Command parameter using the `[AutocompleteAttribute]`. To handle the Autocomplete Interactions raised by this parameter you can either create [Autocomplete Commands](#autocomplete-commands) or you can opt to use the [Autocompleters Pattern](./autocompleters)

##### Min/Max Value

You can specify the permitted max/min value for a number type parameter using the `[MaxValueAttribute]` and `[MinValueAttribute]`.

### User Commands

A valid User Command must have the following structure:

```csharp
[UserCommand("Say Hello")]
public async Task SayHello(IUser user)
{
...
}
```

User commands can only have one parameter and its type must be an implementation of `IUser`.

### Message Commands

A valid Message Command must have the following structure:

```csharp
[MessageCommand("Bookmark")]
public async Task Bookmark(IMessage user)
{
...
}
```

Message commands can only have one parameter and its type must be an implementation of `IMessage`.

### Component Interaction Commands

Component Interaction Commands are used to handle interactions that originate from **Discord Message Component**s. This pattern is particularly useful if you will be reusing a set a **Custom ID**s.

```csharp
[ComponentInteraction("custom_id")]
public async Task RoleSelection()
{
...
}
```

Component Interaction Commands support wild card matching, by default `*` character can be used to create a wild card pattern. Interaction Service will use lazy matching to capture the words corresponding to the wild card character. And the captured words will be passed on to the command method in the same order they were captured.

*Ex.*

If Interaction Service recieves a component interaction with **player:play,rickroll** custom id, `op` will be *play* and `name` will be *rickroll*

```csharp
[ComponentInteraction("player:*,*")]
public async Task Play(string op, string name)
{
...
}
```

You may use as many wild card characters as you want.

#### Select Menus

Unlike button interactions, select menu interactions also contain the values of the selected menu items. In this case, you should structure your method to accept a string array.

```csharp
[ComponentInteraction("role_selection")]
public async Task RoleSelection(string[] selectedRoles)
{
...
}
```

Wild card pattern can also be used to match select menu custom ids but remember that the array containing the select menu values should be the last parameter.

```csharp
[ComponentInteraction("role_selection_*")]
public async Task RoleSelection(string id, string[] selectedRoles)
{
...
}
```

### Autocomplete Commands

Autocomplete commands must be parameterless methods. A valid Autocomplete command must have the following structure:

```csharp
[AutocompleteCommand("command_name", "parameter_name")]
public async Task Autocomplete()
{
IEnumerable<AutocompleteResult> results;

...

await (Context.Interaction as SocketAutocompleteInteraction).RespondAsync(results);
}
```

Alternatively, you can use the *Autocompleters* to simplify this workflow.

## Interaction Context

Every command module provides its commands with an execution context. This context property includes general information about the underlying interaction that triggered the command execution. The base command context.

You can design your modules to work with different implementation types of `IInteractionContext`. To achieve this, make sure your module classes inherit from the generic variant of the `InteractionModuleBase`.

> Context type must be consistent throughout the project, or you will run into issues during runtime.

Interaction Service ships with 4 different kinds of `InteractionContext`s:

1. InteractionContext: A bare-bones execution context consisting of only implementation netural interfaces
2. SocketInteractionContext: An execution context for use with `DiscordSocketClient`. Socket entities are exposed in this context without the need of casting them.
3. ShardedInteractionContext: `DiscordShardedClient` variant of the `SocketInteractionContext`
4. RestInteractionContext: An execution context designed to be used with a `DiscordRestClient` and webhook based interactions pattern

You can create custom Interaction Contexts by implementing the `IInteracitonContext` interface.

One problem with using the concrete type InteractionContexts is that you cannot access the information that is specific to different interaction types without casting. Concrete type interaction contexts are great for creating shared interaction modules but you can also use the generic variants of the built-in interaction contexts to create interaction specific interaction modules.

Ex.
Message component interactions have access to a special method called `UpdateAsync()` to update the body of the method the interaction originated from. Normally this wouldn't be accessable without casting the `Context.Interaction`.

```csharp
discordClient.ButtonExecuted += async (interaction) =>
{
var ctx = new SocketInteractionContext<SocketMessageComponent>(discordClient, interaction);
await interactionService.ExecuteAsync(ctx, serviceProvider);
};

public class MessageComponentModule : InteractionModuleBase<SocketInteractionContext<SocketMessageComponent>>
{
[ComponentInteraction("custom_id")]
public async Command()
{
Context.Interaction.UpdateAsync(...);
}
}
```

## Loading Modules

Interaction Service can automatically discover and load modules that inherit `InteractionModuleBase` from an `Assembly`. Call `InteractionService.AddModulesAsync()` to use this functionality.

You can also manually add Interaction modules using the `InteractionService.AddModuleAsync()` method by providing the module type you want to load.

## Resolving Module Dependencies

Module dependencies are resolved using the Constructor Injection and Property Injection patterns. Meaning, the constructor parameters and public settable properties of a module will be assigned using the `IServiceProvider`. For more information on dependency injection, check out [Dependency Injection](./dependency-injection.md)

## Module Groups

Module groups allow you to create sub-commands and sub-commands groups. By nesting commands inside a module that is tagged with `[GroupAttribute]` you can create prefixed commands.

Although creating nested module stuctures are allowed, you are not permitted to use more than 2 `[GroupAttribute]`s in module hierarchy.

## Executing Commands

Any of the following socket events can be used to execute commands:

- InteractionCreated
- ButtonExecuted
- SelectMenuExecuted
- AutocompleteExecuted
- UserCommandExecuted
- MessageCommandExecuted

Commands can be either executed on the gateway thread or on a seperate thread from the thread pool. This behaviour can be configured by changing the *RunMode* property of `InteractionServiceConfig` or by setting the *runMode* parameter of a command attribute.

You can also configure the way `InteractionService` executes the commands. By default, commands are executed using `ConstructorInfo.Invoke()` to create module instances and `MethodInfo.Invoke()` method for executing the method bodies. By setting, `InteractionServiceConfig.UseCompiledLambda` to `true`, you can make `InteractionService` create module instances and execute commands using *Compiled Lambda* expressions. This cuts down on command execution time but it might add some memory overhead.

Time it takes to create a module instance and execute a `Task.Delay(0)` method using the Reflection methods compared to Compiled Lambda expressions:

| Method | Mean | Error | StdDev |
|----------------- |----------:|---------:|---------:|
| ReflectionInvoke | 225.93 ns | 4.522 ns | 7.040 ns |
| CompiledLambda | 48.79 ns | 0.981 ns | 1.276 ns |

## Registering Commands to Discord

Application commands loaded to the Interaction Service can be registered to Discord using a number of different methods. In most cases `RegisterCommandsGloballyAsync()` and `RegisterCommandsToGuildAsync()` are the methods to use. Command registration methods can only be used after the gateway client is ready or the rest client is logged in.

In debug environment, since Global commands can take up to 1 hour to register/update, you should register your commands to a test guild for your changes to take effect immediately. You can use the preprocessor directives to create a simple logic for registering commands:

```csharp
#if DEBUG
await interactionService.RegisterCommandsToGuildAsync(<test_guild_id>);
#else
await interactionService.RegisterCommandsGloballyAsync();
#endif
```

# Post-Execution Logic

Interaction Service uses `IResult`s to provide information about the state of command execution. These can be used to log internal exceptions or provide some insight to the command user.

If you are running your commands using `RunMode.Sync` these command results can be retrieved from the return value of `InteractionService.ExecuteCommandAsync()` method or by registering delegates to Interaction Service events.

If you are using the `RunMode.Async` to run your commands, you must use the Interaction Service events to get the execution results. When using `RunMode.Async`, `InteractionService.ExecuteCommandAsync()` will always return a successful result.

## Results

Interaction Result come in a handful of different flavours:

1. `AutocompletionResult`: returned by Autocompleters
2. `ExecuteResult`: contains the result of method body execution process
3. `PreconditionGroupResult`: returned by Precondition groups
4. `PreconditionResult`: returned by preconditions
5. `RuntimeResult`: a user implementable result for returning user defined results
6. `SearchResult`: returned by command lookup map
7. `TypeConverterResult`: returned by TypeConverters

You can either use the `IResult.Error` property of an Interaction result or create type check for the afformentioned result types to branch out your post-execution logic to handle different situations.

## CommandExecuted Events

Every time a command gets executed, Interaction Service raises a *CommandExecuted event. These events can be used to create a post-execution pipeline.

```csharp
interactionService.SlashCommandExecuted += SlashCommandExecuted;

async Task SlashCommandExecuted (SlashCommandInfo arg1, Discord.IInteractionContext arg2, IResult arg3)
{
if (!arg3.IsSuccess)
{
switch (arg3.Error)
{
case InteractionCommandError.UnmetPrecondition:
await arg2.Interaction.RespondAsync($"Unmet Precondition: {arg3.ErrorReason}");
break;
case InteractionCommandError.UnknownCommand:
await arg2.Interaction.RespondAsync("Unknown command");
break;
case InteractionCommandError.BadArgs:
await arg2.Interaction.RespondAsync("Invalid number or arguments");
break;
case InteractionCommandError.Exception:
await arg2.Interaction.RespondAsync($"Command exception:{arg3.ErrorReason}");
break;
case InteractionCommandError.Unsuccessful:
await arg2.Interaction.RespondAsync("Command could not be executed");
break;
default:
break;
}
}
}
```

## Log Event

InteractionService regularly outputs information about the occuring events to keep the developer informed.

## Runtime Result

Interaction commands allow you to return `Task<RuntimeResult>` to pass on additional information about the command execution process back to your post-execution logic.

Custom `RuntimeResult` classes can be created by inheriting the base `RuntimeResult` class.

If command execution process reaches the method body of the command and no exceptions are thrown during the execution of the method body, `RuntimeResult` returned by your command will be accessible by casting/type-checking the `IResult` parameter of the *CommandExecuted event delegate.

# TypeConverters

TypeConverters are responsible for registering command parameters to Discord and parsing the user inputs into method parameters.

By default, TypeConverters for the following types are provided with `Discord.Net.Interactions` library.

- Implementations of `IUser`
- Implementations of `IChannel`
- Implementations of `IRole`
- Implementations of `IMentionable`
- `string`
- `float`, `double`, `decimal`
- `bool`
- `char`
- `sbyte`, `byte`
- `int16`, `int32`, `int64`
- `uint16`, `uint32`, `uint64`
- `enum`
- `DateTime`
- `TimeSpan`

## Creating TypeConverters

Depending on your needs, there are two types of `TypeConverter`s you can create:

- Concrete type
- Generic type

A valid converter must inherit `TypeConverter` base type. And override the abstract base methods.

### CanConvertTo() Method

This method is used by Interaction Service to search for alternative Type Converters.

Interaction Services determines the most suitable `TypeConverter` for a parameter type in the following order:

1. It searches for a `TypeConverter` that is registered to specifically target that parameter type
2. It searches for a generic `TypeConverter` with a matching type constraint. If there are more multiple matches, the one whose type constraint is the most specialized will be chosen.
3. It searches for a `TypeConverter` that returns `true` when its `CanConvertTo()` method is invoked for thaty parameter type.

> Alternatively, you can use the generic variant (`TypeConverter<T>`) of the `TypeConverter` base class which implements the following method body for `CanConvertTo()` method

```csharp
public sealed override bool CanConvertTo (Type type) =>
typeof(T).IsAssignableFrom(type);
```

### GetDiscordType() Method

This method is used by Interaction Service to determine the [Discord Application Command Option type](https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#application-command-object-application-command-option-type) of a parameter type.

### ReadAsync() Method

This method is used by Interaction Service to parse the user input. This method should return `TypeConverterResult.FromSuccess` if the parsing operation is successful, otherwise it should return `TypeConverterResult.FromError`. The inner logic of this method is totally up to you, however you should avoid using long running code.

### Write() Method

This method is used to configure the **Discord Application Command Option** before it gets registered to Discord. Command Option is configured by modifying the `ApplicationCommandOptionProperties` instance.

The default parameter building pipeline is isolated and will not be disturbed by the `TypeConverter` workflow. But changes made in this method will override the values generated by the Interaction Service for a **Discord Application Command Option**.

---

### Example Enum TypeConverter

```csharp
internal sealed class EnumConverter<T> : TypeConverter<T> where T : struct, Enum
{
public override ApplicationCommandOptionType GetDiscordType ( ) => ApplicationCommandOptionType.String;

public override Task<TypeConverterResult> ReadAsync (IInteractionCommandContext context, SocketSlashCommandDataOption option, IServiceProvider services)
{
if (Enum.TryParse<T>((string)option.Value, out var result))
return Task.FromResult(TypeConverterResult.FromSuccess(result));
else
return Task.FromResult(TypeConverterResult.FromError(InteractionCommandError.ConvertFailed, $"Value {option.Value} cannot be converted to {nameof(T)}"));
}

public override void Write (ApplicationCommandOptionProperties properties, IParameterInfo parameterInfo)
{
var names = Enum.GetNames(typeof(T));
if (names.Length <= 25)
{
var choices = new List<ApplicationCommandOptionChoiceProperties>();

foreach (var name in names)
choices.Add(new ApplicationCommandOptionChoiceProperties
{
Name = name,
Value = name
});

properties.Choices = choices;
}
}
}
```

---

## Registering TypeConverters

> TypeConverters must be registered prior to module discovery. If Interaction Service encounters a parameter type that doesn't belong to any of the registered `TypeConverter`s during this phase, it will throw an exception.

### Concrete TypeConverters

Registering Concrete TypeConverters are as simple as creating an instance of your custom converter and invoking `AddTypeConverter()` method.

```csharp
interactionService.AddTypeConverter<string[]>(new StringArrayConverter());
```

### Generic TypeConverters

To register a generic TypeConverter, you need to invoke the `AddGenericTypeConverter()` method of the Interaction Service class. You need to pass the type of your `TypeConverter` and a target base type to this method.

For instance, to register the previously mentioned [Example Enum Converter](#example-enum-converter) the following can be used:

```csharp
interactionService.AddGenericTypeConverter<Enum>(typeof(EnumConverter<>));
```

Interaction service checks if the target base type satisfies the type constraints of the Generic TypeConverter class.

> Dependencies of Generic TypeConverters are also resolved using the Dependency Injection pattern.
