BaseInteraction Extensions

The following methods have been added to the discordjs BaseInteraction.prototype:

replyOrFollowUp()

replyOrFollowUp(reply: InteractionReplyOptions): Promise<Message<boolean>> | Promise<InteractionResponse<boolean>>
Replies to an interaction or follows up if already replied or deferred, avoiding "Interaction Already Acknowledged" error.

Parameters

reply: InteractionReplyOptions - The reply to be sent

Returns InteractionResponse, if followed up, or Message, if replied.

Example

import { CustomButtonInteraction, ExtendedClient, RegisterButton } from "@davipccunha/discordjs-helper";
import { ButtonInteraction } from "discord.js";

@RegisterButton("button")
export class ButtonButton implements CustomButtonInteraction {
    name!: string;

    async execute(interaction: ButtonInteraction, client: ExtendedClient): Promise<void> {
        const condition = Math.random() > 0.5;
        if (condition) {
            await interaction.reply("Lucky!").catch(console.error);
        };

        await interaction.replyOrFollowUp("Button clicked").catch(console.error);
    }
}

If the condition evaluates to true and you call interaction.reply("Button clicked"), you get an "Interaction Already Acknowledged" error.
If the condition evaluates to false and tou call interaction.followUp("Button clicked"), an error is also thrown.
