More advanced usage of blue cord

Blue cord have two classes, Base_Manager and Manager

Now, let's see the differecences between them.

Base_Manager

The Base_Manager is the base class for bluecord, which is the class that you can extends to create your own manager.

The Base_Manager don't have any methods to modify commands, only have properties and two methods:

• start() - start the manager
• stop() - stop the manager

Manager

The Manager is the class that extends the Base_Manager and have all the methods of blue cord (including start and stop, inherited from Base_Manager). You can extends Manager too if you want to create your own manager, but wants to inherit methods from Manager

Start and Stop the Manager

If you want to take more control of the manager, you can use the start() and stop() methods to start and stop the manager.

Now, let's go start the manager. Note: The Manager automatically starts when you call them, but if you use the Base_Manager, you need to start it manually.

Now, let's go make an script that stops the Manager after 5 seconds.

import Bluecord from "bluecord";

const token = "your discord bot token";
const options = {
    version: "9"
}

// Create a new instance of blue cord.
const commandHandler = new Bluecord.Manager(token, options)

// Listening for ready event.
commandHandler.on("ready", () => {
    console.log("Command handler is ready!");
    console.log(`Detected ${commandHandler.app.commands.length} commands.`);
    // Setting a timeout to stop the manager after 5 seconds.
    setTimeout(() => {
        console.log("Stopping the manager...");
        commandHandler.stop();
    }, 5000);
});

// The event "stopped" fires when the manager is stopped.
commandHandler.on("stopped", () => {
    console.log("Manager stopped!");
});

Making your own manager

You can make your own manager (without inherit Manager functions) by extending the Base_Manager class. If you want to inherit Manager functions, you need to extends the Manager class.

An example of custom Manager:

import Bluecord from "bluecord";

class My_Custom_Manager extends Bluecord.Base_Manager {
    constructor(token, options) {
        super(token, options);
    }

    // Make a method that returns the length of saved app commands.
    get_commands_length() {
        return this.app.commands.length;
    }

    // Make a function that do something and emit an event.
    do_something() {
        console.log("Doing something...");
        // your code to do something

        this.emit("something_done"); // This will emit an event "something_done", you can listen to it. :D
    }
}

const token = "your discord bot token";
const options = {
    version: "9"
}

const my_custom_manager = new My_Custom_Manager(token, options);

my_custom_manager.start(); // Base_Manager class don't start automatically, you need to start it manually, or make your own auto start :D

my_custom_manager.on("ready", () => {
    console.log("My custom manager is ready!");
    console.log(`Detected ${my_custom_manager.get_commands_length()} commands.`);
    my_custom_manager.do_something();
});

my_custom_manager.on("something_done", () => {
    // This event is emitted when the function "do_something" is called.
    // You can use events to make your own logic.
    console.log("Something done!");
});

Make your own manager is very easy and simple, you can use the same code as the example above to make your own manager and use your creativity.
