Hey everyone!

Question on how do I setup my bot so i can use my slash commands in different discords.

Heres my code below:

require('dotenv').config();
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');
const fs = require('fs/promises');
const path = require('path');

const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds] });

// Register slash command
client.on('ready', async () => {
  console.log(`Main bot logged in as ${client.user.tag}`);

  // Define the slash command using SlashCommandBuilder
  const loaCommand = new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('loa')
    .setDescription('Request to add LOA role')
    .addStringOption(option =>
      option
        .setName('userid')
        .setDescription('Enter the user ID')
        .setRequired(true)
    );

  // Register the command globally
  await client.application.commands.create(loaCommand);
  console.log('Global slash command registered: /loa');
});

// Handle interactions
client.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
  if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;

  if (interaction.commandName === 'loa') {
    const userId = interaction.options.getString('userid');
    
    // Validate user ID
    if (!/^\d+$/.test(userId)) {
      return interaction.reply({ content: 'Invalid user ID!', ephemeral: true });
    }

    // Write to queue file
    try {
      await fs.appendFile(
        path.join(__dirname, 'loa_queue.txt'),
        `${userId}\n`
      );
      interaction.reply({ content: 'Request received!', ephemeral: true });
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(error);
      interaction.reply({ content: 'Error processing request!', ephemeral: true });
    }
  }
});

client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN);

Thank you again for the help!

Configure your app to be available as user install via contexts in the app portal: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/application#setting-supported-installation-contexts and add it via the link in its profile (which is what that configures)

alternatively, you can compose the link yourself: https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/oauth2#authorization-code-grant-authorization-url-example

Side note: you can have Discord validate user IDs natively, if you use a "user" command option instead of a string! More on that: https://discordjs.guide/legacy/slash-commands/advanced-creation#option-types
