More commands examples

Maybe its just me,
but I got it all up and running (at least I think I do)

But idk how to verify if its working.

What do I do to use the 'helloCommand' in discord?
my bot does not react on /hello or !hello. (maybe this is a indication that I did something wrong, but I got no idea)

Hi,

first, please make sure to set your guild id in src/commands_layer/nodejs/commands/helloCommand.js. The application command should then be pushed to Discord after you deployed the SAM application.

To execute the 'helloCommand' command, start typing /hello in the text channel of a Discord guild where your bot is authorized. You should then see a suggestion popup like this:

After you hit enter, the command should be executed.

If you do not get a suggestion popup, double check that you authorized your application and that your commands were indeed deployed correctly. To do this, open the logs of the CreateCommandsFunction lambda by opening the AWS CloudWatch console and then navigating to Logs -> Log group -> /aws/lambda/serverless-discord-bot-CreateCommandsFunction-xxxxxxxxxxx.

Your log events should contain roughly these lines:

INFO	[class HelloCommand extends SlashCommand]
INFO	Registered command xxxxxxxxxxxxx:hello.
INFO	Found guild command "hello" (xxxxxxxxxxxxx, guild: xxxxxxxxxx)
INFO	Request: [{
     "id": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "name": "hello",
    "description": "Says hello to you.",
    "default_permission": true
}]
INFO	Finished syncing commands
INFO	RESPONSE: {
    "Status": "SUCCESS",
    "PhysicalResourceId": "SlashCommands:xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "StackId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "RequestId": "xxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "LogicalResourceId": "CreateCommandsInvoker"
}

For more information about Discord application commands, make sure to check out the official documentation on application commands, and the slash-create docs. There you will also find more command examples.

Thank you for this in depth answer.
I put in my Guild id and now it works!!

Now I just need to figure out how to make cool commands.
