Version 4.0

• Now using disnake
• Added a command that uses buttons (coinflip)
• Added a command that uses selection dropdown (rps)
• Every command is now in slash command and normal command (old way with prefix)
  • Make sure to enable the message intents for normal commands as it's now a privileged intent.
  • The slash command is above, the normal command is below

Version 3.1.1

• Fixed TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable for prefix -> Python 3.10

Version 3.1

Changes:

• Added a @checks.is_owner check which raises a UserNotOwner exception
• Added a @checks.not_blacklisted check which raises a UserBlacklisted exception
• Using checks instead of same code for every command
• Various code cleanup

What's new is mostly the ability to use checks instead of code for checking if, for example, the user trying to execute the command is not an owner.

Before: (Blacklist check, had to be copied on every command)

@cog_ext.cog_slash(
  name="ping",
  description="Check if the bot is alive.",
)
async def ping(self, context: SlashContext):
  with open("blacklist.json") as file:
    blacklist = json.load(file)
  if context.author.id in blacklist["ids"]:
    return
  # Rest of the code

Now:

@cog_ext.cog_slash(
  name="ping",
  description="Check if the bot is alive.",
)
@checks.not_blacklisted() # Here is the difference
async def ping(self, context: SlashContext):
  # Rest of the code

Version 3.0
