JDA

This page describes how to integrate Lamp with JDA's slash commands, as well as what to expect out of it.

Setting up

Adding Lamp dependency

To add Lamp to your project, add the following (depending on your project structure):

pom.xml

<dependencies>
  <!-- Required for all platforms -->
  <dependency>
      <groupId>io.github.revxrsal</groupId>
      <artifactId>lamp.common</artifactId> 
      <version>[VERSION]</version>
  </dependency>

  <!-- JDA module -->
  <dependency>
      <groupId>io.github.revxrsal</groupId>
      <artifactId>lamp.jda</artifactId>
      <version>[VERSION]</version>
  </dependency>  
</dependencies>

Optional: Preserve parameter names

Lamp identifies parameters by their names and uses them to generate relevant command metadata. By default, Java does not preserve parameter names reflectively. You need to add the following to your project:

pom.xml

<plugins>
  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.8.0</version>
    <configuration>
      <compilerArgs>
        <!-- Preserves parameter names -->
        <arg>-parameters</arg>
      </compilerArgs>
    </configuration>
  </plugin>
</plugins>

build.gradle

JDA-specific annotations

@Choices

@CommandPermission

Annotation for specifying the required Permissions for JDA slash commands

@GuildOnly

Marks a command as executable in guilds only.

@NSFW

Marks a command as NSFW

Example

Java

public static void main(String[] args) {
    JDA jda = JDABuilder.createDefault(args[0]).build();
    var lamp = JDALamp.builder().build();

    // register all our commands here
    lamp.register(new ModerationCommands());
    lamp.register(new LevelCommands());
    lamp.register(new RoleCommands());
    lamp.register(new SupportCommands());

    // after we register all commands, we *must* call this to
    // send our commands as slash commands
    //
    // slashCommands is JDAVisitors#slashCommands. We
    // use static imports for brevity.
    lamp.accept(slashCommands(jda));
}

Kotlin

Example: /ban command

Java

@Command("ban")
@Description("Bans the given user")
@CommandPermission(Permission.BAN_MEMBERS)
public void ban(
    SlashCommandActor actor,
    Member target,
    @Range(min = 1) long days
) {
    actor.replyToInteraction("User **" + target.getEffectiveName() + "** has been banned!").queue();
}

Kotlin

/ban command

Which will also do client-side range validation:
