Cogs

Sorting commands between cogs is a popular practice in bot development. This section shows how to build slash commands in cogs.

It’s as simple as this:

Example

from discord.ext import commands
from dislash import slash_command, ActionRow, Button, ButtonStyle


class mycog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    # Example of a slash command in a cog
    @slash_command(description="Says Hello")
    async def hello(self, inter):
        await inter.respond("Hello from cog!")

    # Buttons in cogs (no changes basically)
    @commands.command()
    async def test(self, ctx):
        row_of_buttons = ActionRow(
            Button(
                style=ButtonStyle.green,
                label="Green button",
                custom_id="green"
            ),
            Button(
                style=ButtonStyle.red,
                label="Red button",
                custom_id="red"
            )
        )
        msg = await ctx.send("This message has buttons", components=[row_of_buttons])
        # Wait for a button click
        def check(inter):
            return inter.author == ctx.author
        inter = await msg.wait_for_button_click(check=check)
        # Process the button click
        inter.reply(f"Button: {inter.button.label}", type=ResponseType.UpdateMessage)

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(mycog(bot))

Differences

• @slash_command instead of @InteractionClient.slash_command

• self is a required first argument

• self.bot instead of bot

• InteractionClient is accessible via self.bot.slash
