Initializing the Object

Basic initialization
// Regular Discord.js Stuff
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client({ shardCount: 1 });
​
// Now we initialize the Object
const { Commands } = require("djs-command-control");
const commands = new Commands(
    client, // Passing our Discord Client
    "src/commands", // Lets pretens our commands are located in src/commands
    { // Finally passing the CommandOptions Object
        prefix: process.env.PREFIX, // We have our prefix stored in the env variables
        prefixOnMention: true, // Yes, we want to return the prefix if someone mentions the bot
    }
);
Our bot has a customizable prefix feature
// Start by initializing the discord.js client and importing djs-commands-control
​
// Let's say we have a function that fetches the prefix from our database
// The arguments has to be message and options, as described in the CustomizablePrefix Type
function fetchPrefix(message, options) {
    return options.database.fetchPrefix(message.id); // This has to return a string
}
​
// Let's create a CustomizablePrefix Option
const customizablePrefix = {
    callback: fetchPrefix, // The above function to run
    options: { database } // The function requires the database object
}
​
// Now we initialize the Object
const commands = new Commands(
    client, // Passing our Discord Client
    "src/commands", // Lets pretens our commands are located in src/commands
    { // Finally passing the CommandOptions Object
        prefix: process.env.PREFIX, // We have our prefix stored in the env variables
        prefixOnMention: true, // Yes, we want to return the prefix if someone mentions the bot
        customizablePrefix, // Finally, give it to the contructor
    }
);
We do not want to have general as the default category
// Start by initializing the discord.js client and importing djs-commands-contro
​
// Let's create a defaultCategory Option
const defaultCategory = {
    name: "something-else",
    title: "Something Else"
}
​
// Now we initialize the Object
const commands = new Commands(
    client, // Passing our Discord Client
    "src/commands", // Lets pretens our commands are located in src/commands
    { // Finally passing the CommandOptions Object
        prefix: process.env.PREFIX, // We have our prefix stored in the env variables
        prefixOnMention: true, // Yes, we want to return the prefix if someone mentions the bot
        defaultCategory , // Finally, give it to the contructor
    }
);
We wish to include a help command that is part of our new default category
// Start by initializing the discord.js client and importing djs-commands-contro
​
// Let's create a helpOptions Object
const helpOptions = {
    include: true, // yes we want it included
    omitFromHelp: true, // no need to show the help commands inside of the help command, helpception.
    category: "something-else" // The name of the category we want the help command to appear in
}
​
// Now we initialize the Object
const commands = new Commands(
    client, // Passing our Discord Client
    "src/commands", // Lets pretens our commands are located in src/commands
    { // Finally passing the CommandOptions Object
        prefix: process.env.PREFIX, // We have our prefix stored in the env variables
        prefixOnMention: true, // Yes, we want to return the prefix if someone mentions the bot
        help: helpOptions, // Finally, give it to the contructor
    }
);
We don't want people spamming the bot, so let's add a ratelimiter
// Start by initializing the discord.js client and importing djs-commands-contro
​
// Let's create a rateLimiterOptions Object
const rateLimiterOptions = {
    enabled: true, // yes, we want to use the ratelimiter
    amount: 2, // Lets say we want to allow 2 commands in a timeframe
    interval: 6000 // Lets make said timeframe 6 seconds
}
// Now we have a ratelimiter that will allow 2 commands every 6 seconds
​
// Now we initialize the Object
const commands = new Commands(
    client, // Passing our Discord Client
    "src/commands", // Lets pretens our commands are located in src/commands
    { // Finally passing the CommandOptions Object
        prefix: process.env.PREFIX, // We have our prefix stored in the env variables
        prefixOnMention: true, // Yes, we want to return the prefix if someone mentions the bot
        rateLimiter: rateLimiterOptions , // Finally, give it to the contructor
    }
);
