Props
Props are used to pass data around your project. They are typesafe and easily accessible anywhere in your project.
NOTE
This page will focus on use cases. For a detailed explaination of the props api, see the API page on it.
Setting Props
For this example, we're using a knex database. In order to access the knex data in our bot, we must first add it as a prop:
js
import { JellyCommands } from 'jellycommands';
import knex from 'knex';
const db = knex();
const client = new JellyCommands({
props: {
db
}
})
We should also update our src/app.d.ts with the correct type, so that when we use our prop we have intellisense.
ts
/// <reference types="jellycommands/ambient" />
// See https://jellycommands.dev/guide/props.html
interface Props {
db: import('knex').Knex
}
We can now access our database with the db prop wherever client is available.
Getting Props
To access our database in a command, for example, we can use the props api:
js
import { command } from 'jellycommands';
export default command({
name: 'proptest',
description: 'A command for testing props',
run: ({ interaction, client, props }) => {
// It will be correctly typed as Knex!
const db = props.db
// You could also access it from the client
const db = client.props.db
// We can now use our knex db
}
})
