Slash Command Autocompletion

Discord now supports sending auto completion lists for slash command choices. To use this feature you can use code such as the example below:

#include <dpp/dpp.h>
int main()
{
dpp::cluster bot("token");
bot.on_ready([&bot](const dpp::ready_t & event) {
if (dpp::run_once<struct register_bot_commands>()) {
/* Create a new global command once on ready event */
bot.global_command_create(dpp::slashcommand("blep", "Send a random adorable animal photo", bot.me.id)
/* If you set the auto complete setting on a command option, it will trigger the on_autocomplete
* event whenever discord needs to fill information for the choices. You cannot set any choices
* here if you set the auto complete value to true.
*/
dpp::command_option(dpp::co_string, "animal", "The type of animal").set_auto_complete(true)
)
);
}
});
/* The interaction create event is fired when someone issues your commands */
bot.on_slashcommand([&bot](const dpp::slashcommand_t & event) {
/* Check which command they ran */
if (event.command.get_command_name() == "blep") {
/* Fetch a parameter value from the command parameters */
std::string animal = std::get<std::string>(event.get_parameter("animal"));
/* Reply to the command. There is an overloaded version of this
* call that accepts a dpp::message so you can send embeds.
*/
event.reply("Blep! You chose " + animal);
}
});
/* The on_autocomplete event is fired whenever discord needs information to fill in a command options's choices.
* You must reply with a REST event within 500ms, so make it snappy!
*/
bot.on_autocomplete([&bot](const dpp::autocomplete_t & event) {
for (auto & opt : event.options) {
/* The option which has focused set to true is the one the user is typing in */
if (opt.focused) {
/* In a real world usage of this function you should return values that loosely match
* opt.value, which contains what the user has typed so far. The opt.value is a variant
* and will contain the type identical to that of the slash command parameter.
* Here we can safely know it is string.
*/
std::string uservalue = std::get<std::string>(opt.value);
bot.interaction_response_create(event.command.id, event.command.token, dpp::interaction_response(dpp::ir_autocomplete_reply)
.add_autocomplete_choice(dpp::command_option_choice("squids", "lots of squids"))
.add_autocomplete_choice(dpp::command_option_choice("cats", "a few cats"))
.add_autocomplete_choice(dpp::command_option_choice("dogs", "bucket of dogs"))
.add_autocomplete_choice(dpp::command_option_choice("elephants", "bottle of elephants"))
);
bot.log(dpp::ll_debug, "Autocomplete " + opt.name + " with value '" + uservalue + "' in field " + event.name);
break;
}
}
});
bot.start(dpp::st_wait);
return 0;
}
