2. 🚀 Showcase

This snippet showcases a bot with a minimal API-style /square command and includes a module-based /greet command.

Minimal API-style Bot Example

The following example sets up a bot with a minimal API-style approach for the /square command, which calculates the square of a number:

var builder = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
    .UseDiscordGateway()
    .UseApplicationCommands<SlashCommandInteraction, SlashCommandContext>();

var host = builder.Build()
    .AddSlashCommand<SlashCommandContext>("square", "Square!", (int a) => $"{a}² = {a * a}")
    .UseGatewayEventHandlers();

await host.RunAsync();

Module-based Command Example

Moreover, you can use a module-based approach. Here's an example of a /greet command that greets a specified user:

public class GreetingModule : ApplicationCommandModule<SlashCommandContext>
{
    [SlashCommand("greet", "Greet someone!")]
    public string Greet(User user) => $"{Context.User} greets {user}!";
}
