Basic handler example

// NOTE: This package only supports Discord.js V 13
const { Handler, Client } = require('discord-slash-command-handler');
// Client class is same as discord js client but with additional properties
const client = new Client(options);

client.on('ready', () => {
    // replace src/commands to the path with your commands folder.
    // if your commands folder contain files then use commandType: "file". otherwise commandType: "folder"
    const handler = new Handler(client, { guilds: ["guild id"], commandFolder: "/commands",commandType: "file" || "folder"});

    console.log("bot is up!");
});

client.login(token);

Complex handler example

const { Handler, Client } = require('discord-slash-command-handler');
const client = new Client(options);

client.on('ready', () => {
    // replace src/commands to the path to your commands folder.
    const handler = new Handler(client, {
        // Locations of folder should be provided with respect to the main file
        // Location of the command folder
        commandFolder: "/commands",

        // Folder contains files or folders ?
        commandType: "file" || "folder",

        // Location of the event folder
        eventFolder: "/events",

        // Guild ID(s) where you want to enable slash commands (if slash command isn't global)
        slashGuilds: ["guild id"], 

        // Add MONGO URI for timeouts
        mongoURI: "some_mongo_uri",

        // Make all commands slash commands
        allSlash: true,

        // User ID(s),  these users will be considered as bot owners
        owners: ["user id"], 
        
        handleSlash: true, 
        /* True => If you want automatic slash handler
         * False => if you want to handle commands yourself
         * 'both' =>  in this case instead of running the command itself we will invoke an event called 'slashCommand'
         */
        
        handleNormal: false,
        /* True => If you want automatic normal handler
         * False => if you want to handle commands yourself
         * 'both' =>  in this case instead of running the command itself we will invoke an event called 'normalCommand'
         */

        prefix: "k!", // Bot's prefix
        timeout: true, // If you want to add timeouts in commands
        
        // reply to send when user don't have enough permissions to use the command
        permissionReply: "You don't have enough permissions to use this command",   

        // reply to send when user is on a timeout      
        timeoutMessage: "You are on a timeout",

        // reply to send when there is an error in command
        errorReply: "Unable to run this command due to errors",

        // reply to send when command is ownerOnly and user isn't a owner
        notOwnerReply: "Only bot owners can use this command",
    });

    console.log("bot is up");
});

client.login(token);

Custom Command Handler (Slash/Normal)

...
bot.on('ready', () => {
    ...

    // Custom normal command handler, this function works when handleNormal is 'both'
    handler.on('normalCommand', (command,command_data) => {
        // handle the command
        // command is your normal command object,  for command_data go down below to data types
    })

     
    // Custom slash command handler, this function works when handleSlash is 'both'
    handler.on('slashCommand', (command,command_data) => {
        // handle the command
        // command is your normal command object,  for command_data go down below to data types
    })
    ...
})
...

Handle Arguments for Slash Commands

run: async ({ args }) => {
    // Wanna get an specific argument of a slash command?
    args.get("argument name goes here");
    // argument name = the one specified in options.

    // Other ways to get options
    args[0] // index
    args["some name"] // get argument from name
}

How to define command

// file name: help.js

module.exports = {
    name: "help", // Name of the command

    description: "Get some help", // Description of the command
    
    aliases: ["gethelp"], // The aliases for command ( don't works for slash command )
    
    category: "general", // the category of command
    
    slash: "both", // true => if only slash, false => if only normal, "both" => both slash and normal
    
    global: false, // false => work in all guilds provided in options, true => works globally

    ownerOnly: false, // false => work for all users, true => works only for bot owners
    
    dm: false, // false => Guild Only, true => Both Guild And DM, "only" => DM Only

    timeout: 10000 | '10s', // the timeout on the command
    
    args: "< command category > [ command name ]", // Command arguments, <> for required arguments, [] for optional arguments ( please provide required arguments before optional arguments )

    // Arguments for slash commands

    // first method
    args: "< command category > [ command name ]", // Command arguments, <> for required arguments, [] for optional arguments ( please provide required arguments before optional arguments )

    argsType: "String | String", // OPTIONAL, if you want to specify the argument type
    // Available Types: String, Integer, Boolean, Channel, User, Role
    // also Sub_command, Sub_command_group but these aren't tested yet

    argsDescription: "The command category | the command name", // OPTIONAL, if you wanna add a cute little description for arguments


    // Second method
    // All properties are required, if not provided than you will get an error
    // NOTE: You can also use a command builder for the options
    options: [
        {
            name: "name of argument",
            description: "description of the argument",
            require: true or false,
            type: "string"
        }
    ],

    // OPTIONAL
    error: async (errorType, command, message, error) => {
        // If you want custom error handler for each command 
        /*
         * errorType: errorType ( check in data types at bottom for more info )
         * command: the command
         * message: the message object
         * error: only in exceptions, the error message 
         */
    },

    // Required
    run: async (command_data) => { // you can add custom run arguments
        // your command's code
    }
}

Convert Normal Command to Slash Command

Additions

// Add slash porperty
slash: true, // true => only slash command, "both" => slash and normal command, false => normal command

// you have to fix your run method or add custom run command parameter in handler options for that check #specials

// All done. but there are few limitations like, message object is not Discord.Message object
// it is an custom objected created by us its properties are listen in # datatype 's slash_command
