API Reference

The following section outlines the API of disnake’s command extension module.

Bots

Bot

Attributes
Methods
class disnake.ext.commands.Bot(command_prefix=None, help_command=<default-help-command>, description=None, *, strip_after_prefix=False, **options)[source]

Represents a discord bot.

This class is a subclass of disnake.Client and as a result anything that you can do with a disnake.Client you can do with this bot.

This class also subclasses GroupMixin to provide the functionality to manage commands.

Parameters:

  • test_guilds (List[int]) –

    The list of IDs of the guilds where you’re going to test your application commands. Defaults to None, which means global registration of commands across all guilds.

    New in version 2.1.

  • command_sync_flags (ext.commands.CommandSyncFlags) –

    The command sync flags for the session. This is a way of controlling when and how application commands will be synced with the Discord API. If not given, defaults to CommandSyncFlags.default().

    New in version 2.7.

  • sync_commands (bool) –

    Whether to enable automatic synchronization of application commands in your code. Defaults to True, which means that commands in API are automatically synced with the commands in your code.

    New in version 2.1.

    Deprecated since version 2.7: Replaced with command_sync_flags.

  • sync_commands_on_cog_unload (bool) –

    Whether to sync the application commands on cog unload / reload. Defaults to True.

    New in version 2.1.

    Deprecated since version 2.7: Replaced with command_sync_flags.

  • sync_commands_debug (bool) –

    Whether to always show sync debug logs (uses INFO log level if it’s enabled, prints otherwise). If disabled, uses the default DEBUG log level which isn’t shown unless the log level is changed manually. Useful for tracking the commands being registered in the API. Defaults to False.

    New in version 2.1.

    Changed in version 2.4: Changes the log level of corresponding messages from DEBUG to INFO or prints them, instead of controlling whether they are enabled at all.

    Deprecated since version 2.7: Replaced with command_sync_flags.

  • localization_provider (LocalizationProtocol) –

    An implementation of LocalizationProtocol to use for localization of application commands. If not provided, the default LocalizationStore implementation is used.

    New in version 2.5.

  • strict_localization (bool) –

    Whether to raise an exception when localizations for a specific key couldn’t be found. This is mainly useful for testing/debugging, consider disabling this eventually as missing localized names will automatically fall back to the default/base name without it. Only applicable if the localization_provider parameter is not provided. Defaults to False.

    New in version 2.5.

command_prefix

The command prefix is what the message content must contain initially to have a command invoked. This prefix could either be a string to indicate what the prefix should be, or a callable that takes in the bot as its first parameter and disnake.Message as its second parameter and returns the prefix. This is to facilitate “dynamic” command prefixes. This callable can be either a regular function or a coroutine.

An empty string as the prefix always matches, enabling prefix-less command invocation. While this may be useful in DMs it should be avoided in servers, as it’s likely to cause performance issues and unintended command invocations.

The command prefix could also be an iterable of strings indicating that multiple checks for the prefix should be used and the first one to match will be the invocation prefix. You can get this prefix via Context.prefix. To avoid confusion empty iterables are not allowed.

If the prefix is None, the bot won’t listen to any prefixes, and prefix commands will not be processed. If you don’t need prefix commands, consider using InteractionBot or AutoShardedInteractionBot instead, which are drop-in replacements, just without prefix command support.

This can be provided as a parameter at creation.

Note

When passing multiple prefixes be careful to not pass a prefix that matches a longer prefix occurring later in the sequence. For example, if the command prefix is ('!', '!?') the '!?' prefix will never be matched to any message as the previous one matches messages starting with !?. This is especially important when passing an empty string, it should always be last as no prefix after it will be matched.

case_insensitive

Whether the commands should be case insensitive. Defaults to False. This attribute does not carry over to groups. You must set it to every group if you require group commands to be case insensitive as well.

This can be provided as a parameter at creation.

Type:

bool

description

The content prefixed into the default help message.

This can be provided as a parameter at creation.

Type:

str

help_command[source]

The help command implementation to use. This can be dynamically set at runtime. To remove the help command pass None. For more information on implementing a help command, see Help Commands.

This can be provided as a parameter at creation.

Type:

Optional[HelpCommand]

owner_id

The user ID that owns the bot. If this is not set and is then queried via is_owner() then it is fetched automatically using application_info().

This can be provided as a parameter at creation.

Type:

Optional[int]

owner_ids

The user IDs that owns the bot. This is similar to owner_id. If this is not set and the application is team based, then it is fetched automatically using application_info(). For performance reasons it is recommended to use a set for the collection. You cannot set both owner_id and owner_ids.

This can be provided as a parameter at creation.

New in version 1.3.

Type:

Optional[Collection[int]]

strip_after_prefix

Whether to strip whitespace characters after encountering the command prefix. This allows for !   hello and !hello to both work if the command_prefix is set to !. Defaults to False.

This can be provided as a parameter at creation.

New in version 1.7.

Type:

bool

reload

Whether to enable automatic extension reloading on file modification for debugging. Whenever you save an extension with reloading enabled the file will be automatically reloaded for you so you do not have to reload the extension manually. Defaults to False

This can be provided as a parameter at creation.

New in version 2.1.

Type:

bool

i18n

An implementation of LocalizationProtocol used for localization of application commands.

New in version 2.5.

Type:

LocalizationProtocol

@after_invoke[source]

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a post-invoke hook.

This is for text commands only, and doesn’t apply to application commands.

A post-invoke hook is called directly after the command is called. This makes it a useful function to clean-up database connections or any type of clean up required.

This post-invoke hook takes a sole parameter, a Context.

Note

Similar to before_invoke(), this is not called unless checks and argument parsing procedures succeed. This hook is, however, always called regardless of the internal command callback raising an error (i.e. CommandInvokeError). This makes it ideal for clean-up scenarios.

Parameters:

coro (coroutine) – The coroutine to register as the post-invoke hook.

Raises:

TypeError – The coroutine passed is not actually a coroutine.

@after_slash_command_invoke[source]

Similar to Bot.after_invoke() but for slash commands, and it takes an ApplicationCommandInteraction as its only parameter.

@after_user_command_invoke[source]

Similar to Bot.after_slash_command_invoke() but for user commands.

@after_message_command_invoke[source]

Similar to Bot.after_slash_command_invoke() but for message commands.

@before_invoke[source]

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a pre-invoke hook.

This is for text commands only, and doesn’t apply to application commands.

A pre-invoke hook is called directly before the command is called. This makes it a useful function to set up database connections or any type of set up required.

This pre-invoke hook takes a sole parameter, a Context.

Note

The before_invoke() and after_invoke() hooks are only called if all checks and argument parsing procedures pass without error. If any check or argument parsing procedures fail then the hooks are not called.

Parameters:

coro (coroutine) – The coroutine to register as the pre-invoke hook.

Raises:

TypeError – The coroutine passed is not actually a coroutine.

@before_slash_command_invoke[source]

Similar to Bot.before_invoke() but for slash commands, and it takes an ApplicationCommandInteraction as its only parameter.

@before_user_command_invoke[source]

Similar to Bot.before_slash_command_invoke() but for user commands.

@before_message_command_invoke[source]

Similar to Bot.before_slash_command_invoke() but for message commands.

@check[source]

A decorator that adds a global check to the bot.

This is for text commands only, and doesn’t apply to application commands.

A global check is similar to a check() that is applied on a per command basis except it is run before any command checks have been verified and applies to every command the bot has.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command check(), this takes a single parameter of type Context and can only raise exceptions inherited from CommandError.

Example

@bot.check
def check_commands(ctx):
    return ctx.command.qualified_name in allowed_commands
@check_once[source]

A decorator that adds a “call once” global check to the bot.

This is for text commands only, and doesn’t apply to application commands.

Unlike regular global checks, this one is called only once per invoke() call.

Regular global checks are called whenever a command is called or Command.can_run() is called. This type of check bypasses that and ensures that it’s called only once, even inside the default help command.

Note

When using this function the Context sent to a group subcommand may only parse the parent command and not the subcommands due to it being invoked once per Bot.invoke() call.

Note

This function can either be a regular function or a coroutine.

Similar to a command check(), this takes a single parameter of type Context and can only raise exceptions inherited from CommandError.

Example

@bot.check_once
def whitelist(ctx):
    return ctx.message.author.id in my_whitelist

Changed in version 2.6: Added usage of SessionStartLimit when connecting to the API. Added the ignore_session_start_limit parameter.

Parameters:

  • reconnect (bool) – Whether reconnecting should be attempted, either due to internet failure or a specific failure on Discord’s part. Certain disconnects that lead to bad state will not be handled (such as invalid sharding payloads or bad tokens).

    Whether the API provided session start limit should be ignored when connecting to the API.

    New in version 2.6.

Raises:

  • GatewayNotFound – If the gateway to connect to Discord is not found. Usually if this is thrown then there is a Discord API outage.

  • ConnectionClosed – The websocket connection has been terminated.

  • SessionStartLimitReached – If the client doesn’t have enough connects remaining in the current 24-hour window and ignore_session_start_limit is False this will be raised rather than connecting to the gateawy and Discord resetting the token. However, if ignore_session_start_limit is True, the client will connect regardless and this exception will not be raised.

This function is a coroutine.

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The timeout parameter is passed onto asyncio.wait_for(). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the asyncio.TimeoutError for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a tuple containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the documentation for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the first event that meets the requirements.

Examples

Waiting for a user reply:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

# using events enums:
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):

            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for(Event.message, check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

Waiting for a thumbs up reaction from the message author:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$thumb'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Send me that 👍 reaction, mate')

        def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'

        try:
            reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await channel.send('👎')
        else:
            await channel.send('👍')
Parameters:

  • event (Union[str, Event]) – The event name, similar to the event reference, but without the on_ prefix, to wait for. It’s recommended to use Event.

await connect(*, reconnect=True, ignore_session_start_limit=False)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Creates a websocket connection and lets the websocket listen to messages from Discord. This is a loop that runs the entire event system and miscellaneous aspects of the library. Control is not resumed until the WebSocket connection is terminated.

Changed in version 2.6: Added usage of SessionStartLimit when connecting to the API. Added the ignore_session_start_limit parameter.

Parameters:

  • reconnect (bool) – Whether reconnecting should be attempted, either due to internet failure or a specific failure on Discord’s part. Certain disconnects that lead to bad state will not be handled (such as invalid sharding payloads or bad tokens).

  • ignore_session_start_limit (bool) –

    Whether the API provided session start limit should be ignored when connecting to the API.

    New in version 2.6.

Raises:

  • GatewayNotFound – If the gateway to connect to Discord is not found. Usually if this is thrown then there is a Discord API outage.

  • ConnectionClosed – The websocket connection has been terminated.

  • SessionStartLimitReached – If the client doesn’t have enough connects remaining in the current 24-hour window and ignore_session_start_limit is False this will be raised rather than connecting to the gateawy and Discord resetting the token. However, if ignore_session_start_limit is True, the client will connect regardless and this exception will not be raised.

await process_app_command_autocompletion(inter)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

This function processes the application command autocompletions. Without this coroutine, none of the autocompletions will be performed.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the on_application_command_autocomplete() event. If you choose to override the on_application_command_autocomplete() event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

Parameters:

inter (disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction) – The interaction to process.

await process_application_commands(interaction)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

This function processes the application commands that have been registered to the bot and other groups. Without this coroutine, none of the application commands will be triggered.

By default, this coroutine is called inside the on_application_command() event. If you choose to override the on_application_command() event, then you should invoke this coroutine as well.

Parameters:

interaction (disnake.ApplicationCommandInteraction) – The interaction to process commands for.

reload_extension(name, *, package=None)[source]

Atomically reloads an extension.

This replaces the extension with the same extension, only refreshed. This is equivalent to a unload_extension() followed by a load_extension() except done in an atomic way. That is, if an operation fails mid-reload then the bot will roll-back to the prior working state.

Parameters:

  • name (str) – The extension name to reload. It must be dot separated like regular Python imports if accessing a sub-module. e.g. foo.test if you want to import foo/test.py.

  • package (Optional[str]) –

    The package name to resolve relative imports with. This is required when reloading an extension using a relative path, e.g .foo.test. Defaults to None.

    New in version 1.7.

Raises:

  • ExtensionNotLoaded – The extension was not loaded.

  • ExtensionNotFound – The extension could not be imported. This is also raised if the name of the extension could not be resolved using the provided package parameter.

  • NoEntryPointError – The extension does not have a setup function.

  • ExtensionFailed – The extension setup function had an execution error.

remove_app_command_check(func, *, call_once=False, slash_commands=False, user_commands=False, message_commands=False)[source]

Removes a global application command check from the bot.

This function is idempotent and will not raise an exception if the function is not in the global checks.

You must specify at least one of the bool parameters, otherwise the check won’t be removed.

Parameters:

  • func – The function to remove from the global checks.

  • call_once (bool) – Whether the function was added with call_once=True in the Bot.add_check() call or using check_once().

  • slash_commands (bool) – Whether this check was for slash commands.

  • user_commands (bool) – Whether this check was for user commands.

  • message_commands (bool) – Whether this check was for message commands.

remove_cog(name)[source]

Removes a cog from the bot and returns it.

All registered commands and event listeners that the cog has registered will be removed as well.

If no cog is found then this method has no effect.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the cog to remove.

Returns:

The cog that was removed. Returns None if not found.

Return type:

Optional[Cog]

remove_listener(func, name=...)[source]

Removes a listener from the pool of listeners.

Parameters:

  • func – The function that was used as a listener to remove.

  • name (Union[str, Event]) – The name of the event we want to remove. Defaults to func.__name__.

Raises:

TypeError – The name passed was not a string or an Event.

remove_message_command(name)[source]

Removes an InvokableMessageCommand from the internal list of message commands.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the message command to remove.

Returns:

The message command that was removed. If the name is not valid then None is returned instead.

Return type:

Optional[InvokableMessageCommand]

remove_slash_command(name)[source]

Removes an InvokableSlashCommand from the internal list of slash commands.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the slash command to remove.

The slash command that was removed. If the name is not valid then None is returned instead.

Return type:

Optional[InvokableSlashCommand]

remove_user_command(name)[source]

Removes an InvokableUserCommand from the internal list of user commands.

Parameters:

name (str) – The name of the user command to remove.

Returns:

The user command that was removed. If the name is not valid then None is returned instead.

Return type:

Optional[InvokableUserCommand]

run(*args, **kwargs)[source]

A blocking call that abstracts away the event loop initialisation from you.

If you want more control over the event loop then this function should not be used. Use start() coroutine or connect() + login().

Roughly Equivalent to:

try:
    loop.run_until_complete(start(*args, **kwargs))
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    loop.run_until_complete(close())
    # cancel all tasks lingering
finally:
    loop.close()

Warning

This function must be the last function to call due to the fact that it is blocking. That means that registration of events or anything being called after this function call will not execute until it returns.

When the extension is unloaded, all commands, listeners, and cogs are removed from the bot and the module is un-imported.

The extension can provide an optional global function, teardown, to do miscellaneous clean-up if necessary. This function takes a single parameter, the bot, similar to setup from load_extension().

Parameters:

  • name (str) – The extension name to unload. It must be dot separated like regular Python imports if accessing a sub-module. e.g. foo.test if you want to import foo/test.py.

  • package (Optional[str]) –

wait_for(event, *, check=None, timeout=None)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Waits for a WebSocket event to be dispatched.

This could be used to wait for a user to reply to a message, or to react to a message, or to edit a message in a self-contained way.

The timeout parameter is passed onto asyncio.wait_for(). By default, it does not timeout. Note that this does propagate the asyncio.TimeoutError for you in case of timeout and is provided for ease of use.

In case the event returns multiple arguments, a tuple containing those arguments is returned instead. Please check the documentation for a list of events and their parameters.

This function returns the first event that meets the requirements.

Examples

Waiting for a user reply:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for('message', check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

# using events enums:
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$greet'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Say hello!')

        def check(m):
            return m.content == 'hello' and m.channel == channel

        msg = await client.wait_for(Event.message, check=check)
        await channel.send(f'Hello {msg.author}!')

Waiting for a thumbs up reaction from the message author:

@client.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.content.startswith('$thumb'):
        channel = message.channel
        await channel.send('Send me that 👍 reaction, mate')

        def check(reaction, user):
            return user == message.author and str(reaction.emoji) == '👍'

        try:
            reaction, user = await client.wait_for('reaction_add', timeout=60.0, check=check)
        except asyncio.TimeoutError:
            await channel.send('👎')
        else:
            await channel.send('👍')
Parameters:

  • event (Union[str, Event]) – The event name, similar to the event reference, but without the on_ prefix, to wait for. It’s recommended to use Event.

  • check (Optional[Callable[…, bool]]) – A predicate to check what to wait for. The arguments must meet the parameters of the event being waited for.

  • timeout (Optional[float]) – The number of seconds to wait before timing out and raising asyncio.TimeoutError.

Raises:

asyncio.TimeoutError – If a timeout is provided and it was reached.

Returns:

Returns no arguments, a single argument, or a tuple of multiple arguments that mirrors the parameters passed in the event reference.

Return type:

Any

Methods
class disnake.ext.commands.CommandSyncFlags[source]

Controls the library’s application command syncing policy.

This allows for finer grained control over what commands are synced automatically and in what cases.

To construct an object you can pass keyword arguments denoting the flags to enable or disable.

If command sync is disabled (see the docs of sync_commands for more info), other options will have no effect.

New in version 2.7.

x != y

Checks if two CommandSyncFlags instances are not equal.

x <= y

Checks if an CommandSyncFlags instance is a subset of another CommandSyncFlags instance.

x >= y

Checks if an CommandSyncFlags instance is a superset of another CommandSyncFlags instance.

x < y

Checks if an CommandSyncFlags instance is a strict subset of another CommandSyncFlags instance.

x > y

Checks if an CommandSyncFlags instance is a strict superset of another CommandSyncFlags instance.

x | y, x |= y

Returns a new CommandSyncFlags instance with all enabled flags from both x and y. (Using |= will update in place).

x & y, x &= y

Returns a new CommandSyncFlags instance with only flags enabled on both x and y. (Using &= will update in place).

x ^ y, x ^= y

Returns a new CommandSyncFlags instance with only flags enabled on one of x or y, but not both. (Using ^= will update in place).

~x

Returns a new CommandSyncFlags instance with all flags from x inverted.

hash(x)

Return the flag’s hash.

iter(x)

Returns an iterator of (name, value) pairs. This allows it to be, for example, constructed as a dict or a list of pairs. Note that aliases are not shown.

Additionally supported are a few operations on class attributes.

CommandSyncFlags.y | CommandSyncFlags.z, CommandSyncFlags(y=True) | CommandSyncFlags.z

Returns a CommandSyncFlags instance with all provided flags enabled.

~CommandSyncFlags.y

Returns a CommandSyncFlags instance with all flags except y inverted from their default value.

Type:

int

classmethod all()[source]

A factory method that creates a CommandSyncFlags with everything enabled.

classmethod none()[source]

Type:

bool

sync_guild_commands

Whether to sync per-guild commands.

Type:

bool

Prefix Helpers

disnake.ext.commands.when_mentioned(bot, msg)[source]

A callable that implements a command prefix equivalent to being mentioned.

These are meant to be passed into the Bot.command_prefix attribute.

disnake.ext.commands.when_mentioned_or(*prefixes)[source]

A callable that implements when mentioned or other prefixes provided.

These are meant to be passed into the Bot.command_prefix attribute.

Example

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix=commands.when_mentioned_or('!'))

Note

This callable returns another callable, so if this is done inside a custom callable, you must call the returned callable, for example:

async def get_prefix(bot, message):
    extras = await prefixes_for(message.guild) # returns a list
    return commands.when_mentioned_or(*extras)(bot, message)

For example, to create an abstract cog mixin class, the following would be done.

import abc

class CogABCMeta(commands.CogMeta, abc.ABCMeta):
    pass

class SomeMixin(metaclass=abc.ABCMeta):
    pass

class SomeCogMixin(SomeMixin, commands.Cog, metaclass=CogABCMeta):
    pass

Note

When passing an attribute of a metaclass that is documented below, note that you must pass it as a keyword-only argument to the class creation like the following example:

class MyCog(commands.Cog, name='My Cog'):
    pass
name

The cog name. By default, it is the name of the class with no modification.

    @commands.command()
    async def foo(self, ctx):
        pass # hidden -> True

    @commands.command(hidden=False)
    async def bar(self, ctx):

Help Commands

HelpCommand

Attributes
Methods
class disnake.ext.commands.HelpCommand(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Return type:

str

await filter_commands(commands, *, sort=False, key=None)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Returns a filtered list of commands and optionally sorts them.

This takes into account the verify_checks and show_hidden attributes.

Parameters:

  • commands (Iterable[Command]) – An iterable of commands that are getting filtered.

  • sort (bool) – Whether to sort the result.

  • key (Optional[Callable[Command, Any]]) – An optional key function to pass to sorted() that takes a Command as its sole parameter. If sort is passed as True then this will default as the command name.

Returns:

A list of commands that passed the filter.

Return type:

List[Command]

get_max_size(commands)[source]

Returns the largest name length of the specified command list.

Parameters:

commands (Sequence[Command]) – A sequence of commands to check for the largest size.

Returns:

The maximum width of the commands.

Return type:

int

get_destination()[source]

Returns the Messageable where the help command will be output.

You can override this method to customise the behaviour.

By default this returns the context’s channel.

Returns:

The destination where the help command will be output.

Return type:

abc.Messageable

await send_error_message(error)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Handles the implementation when an error happens in the help command. For example, the result of command_not_found() will be passed here.

You can override this method to customise the behaviour.

By default, this sends the error message to the destination specified by get_destination().

Note

You can access the invocation context with HelpCommand.context.

Parameters:

error (str) – The error message to display to the user. Note that this has had mentions removed to prevent abuse.

await on_help_command_error(ctx, error)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

The help command’s error handler, as specified by Error Handling.

Useful to override if you need some specific behaviour when the error handler is called.

By default this method does nothing and just propagates to the default error handlers.

Parameters:

  • ctx (Context) – The invocation context.

  • error (CommandError) – The error that was raised.

await send_bot_help(mapping)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Handles the implementation of the bot command page in the help command. This function is called when the help command is called with no arguments.

It should be noted that this method does not return anything – rather the actual message sending should be done inside this method. Well behaved subclasses should use get_destination() to know where to send, as this is a customisation point for other users.

You can override this method to customise the behaviour.

Note

You can access the invocation context with HelpCommand.context.

Also, the commands in the mapping are not filtered. To do the filtering you will have to call filter_commands() yourself.

Parameters:

mapping (Mapping[Optional[Cog], List[Command]]) – A mapping of cogs to commands that have been requested by the user for help. The key of the mapping is the Cog that the command belongs to, or None if there isn’t one, and the value is a list of commands that belongs to that cog.

await send_cog_help(cog)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Handles the implementation of the cog page in the help command. This function is called when the help command is called with a cog as the argument.

It should be noted that this method does not return anything – rather the actual message sending should be done inside this method. Well behaved subclasses should use get_destination() to know where to send, as this is a customisation point for other users.

You can override this method to customise the behaviour.

Note

You can access the invocation context with HelpCommand.context.

To get the commands that belong to this cog see Cog.get_commands(). The commands returned not filtered. To do the filtering you will have to call filter_commands() yourself.

Parameters:

cog (Cog) – The cog that was requested for help.

await send_group_help(group)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Handles the implementation of the group page in the help command. This function is called when the help command is called with a group as the argument.

It should be noted that this method does not return anything – rather the actual message sending should be done inside this method. Well behaved subclasses should use get_destination() to know where to send, as this is a customisation point for other users.

You can override this method to customise the behaviour.

Note

You can access the invocation context with HelpCommand.context.

To get the commands that belong to this group without aliases see Group.commands. The commands returned are not filtered. To do the filtering you will have to call filter_commands() yourself.

Parameters:

group (Group) – The group that was requested for help.

await send_command_help(command)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Handles the implementation of the single command page in the help command.

It should be noted that this method does not return anything – rather the actual message sending should be done inside this method. Well behaved subclasses should use get_destination() to know where to send, as this is a customisation point for other users.

You can override this method to customise the behaviour.

Note

You can access the invocation context with HelpCommand.context.

Showing Help

There are certain attributes and methods that are helpful for a help command to show such as the following:

There are more than just these attributes but feel free to play around with these to help you get started to get the output that you want.

Parameters:

command (Command) – The command that was requested for help.

await prepare_help_command(ctx, command=None)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

A low level method that can be used to prepare the help command before it does anything. For example, if you need to prepare some state in your subclass before the command does its processing then this would be the place to do it.

The default implementation does nothing.

Note

This is called inside the help command callback body. So all the usual rules that happen inside apply here as well.

Parameters:

  • ctx (Context) – The invocation context.

  • command (Optional[str]) – The argument passed to the help command.

await command_callback(ctx, *, command=None)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Checks

@disnake.ext.commands.check(predicate)[source]

A decorator that adds a check to the Command or its subclasses. These checks could be accessed via Command.checks.

These checks should be predicates that take in a single parameter taking a Context. If the check returns a False-like value then during invocation a CheckFailure exception is raised and sent to the on_command_error() event.

If an exception should be thrown in the predicate then it should be a subclass of CommandError. Any exception not subclassed from it will be propagated while those subclassed will be sent to on_command_error().

A special attribute named predicate is bound to the value returned by this decorator to retrieve the predicate passed to the decorator. This allows the following introspection and chaining to be done:

def owner_or_permissions(**perms):
    original = commands.has_permissions(**perms).predicate
    async def extended_check(ctx):
        if ctx.guild is None:
            return False
        return ctx.guild.owner_id == ctx.author.id or await original(ctx)
    return commands.check(extended_check)

Note

The function returned by predicate is always a coroutine, even if the original function was not a coroutine.

Changed in version 1.3: The predicate attribute was added.

Examples

Creating a basic check to see if the command invoker is you.

def check_if_it_is_me(ctx):
    return ctx.message.author.id == 85309593344815104

@bot.command()
@commands.check(check_if_it_is_me)
async def only_for_me(ctx):
    await ctx.send('I know you!')

Transforming common checks into its own decorator:

def is_me():
    def predicate(ctx):
        return ctx.message.author.id == 85309593344815104
    return commands.check(predicate)

@bot.command()
@is_me()
async def only_me(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Only you!')
Parameters:

predicate (Callable[[Context], bool]) – The predicate to check if the command should be invoked.

@disnake.ext.commands.check_any(*checks)[source]

A check() that is added that checks if any of the checks passed will pass, i.e. using logical OR.

If all checks fail then CheckAnyFailure is raised to signal the failure. It inherits from CheckFailure.

Note

The predicate attribute for this function is a coroutine.

New in version 1.3.

Parameters:

*checks (Callable[[Context], bool]) – An argument list of checks that have been decorated with the check() decorator.

Raises:

TypeError – A check passed has not been decorated with the check() decorator.

Examples

Creating a basic check to see if it’s the bot owner or the server owner:

def is_guild_owner():
    def predicate(ctx):
        return ctx.guild is not None and ctx.guild.owner_id == ctx.author.id
    return commands.check(predicate)

@bot.command()
@commands.check_any(commands.is_owner(), is_guild_owner())
async def only_for_owners(ctx):
    await ctx.send('Hello mister owner!')
@disnake.ext.commands.has_role(item)[source]

A check() that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has the role specified via the name or ID specified.

If a string is specified, you must give the exact name of the role, including caps and spelling.

If an integer is specified, you must give the exact snowflake ID of the role.

If the message is invoked in a private message context then the check will return False.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, MissingRole if the user is missing a role, or NoPrivateMessage if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from CheckFailure.

Changed in version 1.1: Raise MissingRole or NoPrivateMessage instead of generic CheckFailure

Parameters:

item (Union[int, str]) – The name or ID of the role to check.

@disnake.ext.commands.has_permissions(**perms)[source]

A check() that is added that checks if the member has all of the permissions necessary.

Note that this check operates on the current channel permissions, not the guild wide permissions.

The permissions passed in must be exactly like the properties shown under disnake.Permissions.

This check raises a special exception, MissingPermissions that is inherited from CheckFailure.

Changed in version 2.6: Considers if the author is timed out.

Parameters:

perms – An argument list of permissions to check for.

Example

@bot.command()
@commands.has_permissions(manage_messages=True)
async def test(ctx):
    await ctx.send('You can manage messages.')
@disnake.ext.commands.has_guild_permissions(**perms)[source]

Similar to has_permissions(), but operates on guild wide permissions instead of the current channel permissions.

If this check is called in a DM context, it will raise an exception, NoPrivateMessage.

New in version 1.3.

@disnake.ext.commands.has_any_role(*items)[source]

A check() that is added that checks if the member invoking the command has any of the roles specified. This means that if they have one out of the three roles specified, then this check will return True.

Similar to has_role(), the names or IDs passed in must be exact.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, MissingAnyRole if the user is missing all roles, or NoPrivateMessage if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from CheckFailure.

Changed in version 1.1: Raise MissingAnyRole or NoPrivateMessage instead of generic CheckFailure

Parameters:

items (List[Union[str, int]]) – An argument list of names or IDs to check that the member has roles wise.

Example

@bot.command()
@commands.has_any_role('Library Devs', 'Moderators', 492212595072434186)
async def cool(ctx):
    await ctx.send('You are cool indeed')
@disnake.ext.commands.bot_has_role(item)[source]

Similar to has_role() except checks if the bot itself has the role.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, BotMissingRole if the bot is missing the role, or NoPrivateMessage if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from CheckFailure.

Changed in version 1.1: Raise BotMissingRole or NoPrivateMessage instead of generic CheckFailure

@disnake.ext.commands.bot_has_permissions(**perms)[source]

Similar to has_permissions() except checks if the bot itself has the permissions listed.

This check raises a special exception, BotMissingPermissions that is inherited from CheckFailure.

Changed in version 2.6: Considers if the author is timed out.

@disnake.ext.commands.bot_has_guild_permissions(**perms)[source]

Similar to has_guild_permissions(), but checks the bot members guild permissions.

New in version 1.3.

@disnake.ext.commands.bot_has_any_role(*items)[source]

Similar to has_any_role() except checks if the bot itself has any of the roles listed.

This check raises one of two special exceptions, BotMissingAnyRole if the bot is missing all roles, or NoPrivateMessage if it is used in a private message. Both inherit from CheckFailure.

Changed in version 1.1: Raise BotMissingAnyRole or NoPrivateMessage instead of generic checkfailure

@disnake.ext.commands.cooldown(rate, per, type=disnake.ext.commands.BucketType.default)[source]

A decorator that adds a cooldown to a Command

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of type which must be of enum type BucketType.

If a cooldown is triggered, then CommandOnCooldown is triggered in on_command_error() and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

Parameters:

  • rate (int) – The number of times a command can be used before triggering a cooldown.

  • per (float) – The amount of seconds to wait for a cooldown when it’s been triggered.

  • type (Union[BucketType, Callable[[Message], Any]]) –

    The type of cooldown to have. If callable, should return a key for the mapping.

    Changed in version 1.7: Callables are now supported for custom bucket types.

@disnake.ext.commands.dynamic_cooldown(cooldown, type=BucketType.default)[source]

A decorator that adds a dynamic cooldown to a Command

This differs from cooldown() in that it takes a function that accepts a single parameter of type disnake.Message and must return a Cooldown or None. If None is returned then that cooldown is effectively bypassed.

A cooldown allows a command to only be used a specific amount of times in a specific time frame. These cooldowns can be based either on a per-guild, per-channel, per-user, per-role or global basis. Denoted by the third argument of type which must be of enum type BucketType.

If a cooldown is triggered, then CommandOnCooldown is triggered in on_command_error() and the local error handler.

A command can only have a single cooldown.

New in version 2.0.

Parameters:

  • cooldown (Callable[[disnake.Message], Optional[Cooldown]]) – A function that takes a message and returns a cooldown that will apply to this invocation or None if the cooldown should be bypassed.

  • type (BucketType) – The type of cooldown to have.

@disnake.ext.commands.max_concurrency(number, per=disnake.ext.commands.BucketType.default, *, wait=False)[source]

A decorator that adds a maximum concurrency to a Command or its subclasses.

This enables you to only allow a certain number of command invocations at the same time, for example if a command takes too long or if only one user can use it at a time. This differs from a cooldown in that there is no set waiting period or token bucket – only a set number of people can run the command.

New in version 1.3.

Parameters:

  • number (int) – The maximum number of invocations of this command that can be running at the same time.

  • per (BucketType) – The bucket that this concurrency is based on, e.g. BucketType.guild would allow it to be used up to number times per guild.

  • wait (bool) – Whether the command should wait for the queue to be over. If this is set to False then instead of waiting until the command can run again, the command raises MaxConcurrencyReached to its error handler. If this is set to True then the command waits until it can be executed.

@disnake.ext.commands.before_invoke(coro)[source]

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a pre-invoke hook.

This allows you to refer to one before invoke hook for several commands that do not have to be within the same cog.

New in version 1.4.

Example

async def record_usage(ctx):
    print(ctx.author, 'used', ctx.command, 'at', ctx.message.created_at)

@bot.command()
@commands.before_invoke(record_usage)
async def who(ctx): # Output: <User> used who at <Time>
    await ctx.send('i am a bot')

class What(commands.Cog):

    @commands.before_invoke(record_usage)
    @commands.command()
    async def when(self, ctx): # Output: <User> used when at <Time>
        await ctx.send(f'and i have existed since {ctx.bot.user.created_at}')

    @commands.command()
    async def where(self, ctx): # Output: <Nothing>
        await ctx.send('on Discord')

    @commands.command()
    async def why(self, ctx): # Output: <Nothing>
        await ctx.send('because someone made me')

bot.add_cog(What())
@disnake.ext.commands.after_invoke(coro)[source]

A decorator that registers a coroutine as a post-invoke hook.

This allows you to refer to one after invoke hook for several commands that do not have to be within the same cog.

New in version 1.4.

@disnake.ext.commands.guild_only()[source]

A check() that indicates this command must only be used in a guild context only. Basically, no private messages are allowed when using the command.

This check raises a special exception, NoPrivateMessage that is inherited from CheckFailure.

@disnake.ext.commands.dm_only()[source]

A check() that indicates this command must only be used in a DM context. Only private messages are allowed when using the command.

This check raises a special exception, PrivateMessageOnly that is inherited from CheckFailure.

New in version 1.1.

@disnake.ext.commands.is_owner()[source]

A check() that checks if the person invoking this command is the owner of the bot.

This is powered by Bot.is_owner().

This check raises a special exception, NotOwner that is derived from CheckFailure.

@disnake.ext.commands.is_nsfw()[source]

A check() that checks if the channel is a NSFW channel.

This check raises a special exception, NSFWChannelRequired that is derived from CheckFailure.

Changed in version 1.1: Raise NSFWChannelRequired instead of generic CheckFailure. DM channels will also now pass this check.

@disnake.ext.commands.default_member_permissions(value=0, **permissions)[source]

A decorator that sets default required member permissions for the command. Unlike has_permissions(), this decorator does not add any checks. Instead, it prevents the command from being run by members without all required permissions, if not overridden by moderators on a guild-specific basis.

See also the default_member_permissions parameter for application command decorators.

Note

This does not work with slash subcommands/groups.

Example

This would only allow members with manage_messages and view_audit_log permissions to use the command by default, however moderators can override this and allow/disallow specific users and roles to use the command in their guilds regardless of this setting.

@bot.slash_command()
@commands.default_member_permissions(manage_messages=True, view_audit_log=True)
async def purge(inter, num: int):
    ...
Parameters:

  • value (int) – A raw permission bitfield of an integer representing the required permissions. May be used instead of specifying kwargs.

  • **permissions (bool) – The required permissions for a command. A member must have all these permissions to be able to invoke the command. Setting a permission to False does not affect the result.

Represents the context in which a command is being invoked under.

This class contains a lot of meta data to help you understand more about the invocation context. This class is not created manually and is instead passed around to commands as the first parameter.

This class implements the abc.Messageable ABC.

message

The message that triggered the command being executed.

Type:

Message

bot

The bot that contains the command being executed.

Type:

Bot

args

The list of transformed arguments that were passed into the command. If this is accessed during the on_command_error() event then this list could be incomplete.

Type:

list

kwargs

A dictionary of transformed arguments that were passed into the command. Similar to args, if this is accessed in the on_command_error() event then this dict could be incomplete.

Type:

dict

current_parameter

The parameter that is currently being inspected and converted. This is only of use for within converters.

New in version 2.0.

Type:

Optional[inspect.Parameter]

prefix

The prefix that was used to invoke the command.

Type:

Optional[str]

command

The command that is being invoked currently.

Type:

Optional[Command]

invoked_with

The command name that triggered this invocation. Useful for finding out which alias called the command.

Type:

Optional[str]

invoked_parents

The command names of the parents that triggered this invocation. Useful for finding out which aliases called the command.

For example in commands ?a b c test, the invoked parents are ['a', 'b', 'c'].

New in version 1.7.

Type:

List[str]

invoked_subcommand

The subcommand that was invoked. If no valid subcommand was invoked then this is equal to None.

Type:

Optional[Command]

subcommand_passed

The string that was attempted to call a subcommand. This does not have to point to a valid registered subcommand and could just point to a nonsense string. If nothing was passed to attempt a call to a subcommand then this is set to None.

Type:

Optional[str]

command_failed

Whether the command failed to be parsed, checked, or invoked.

Type:

bool

async for ... in history(*, limit=100, before=None, after=None, around=None, oldest_first=None)[source]

Returns an AsyncIterator that enables receiving the destination’s message history.

You must have Permissions.read_message_history permission to use this.

Examples

Usage

counter = 0
async for message in channel.history(limit=200):
    if message.author == client.user:
        counter += 1

Flattening into a list:

messages = await channel.history(limit=123).flatten()
# messages is now a list of Message...

All parameters are optional.

Parameters:

  • limit (Optional[int]) – The number of messages to retrieve. If None, retrieves every message in the channel. Note, however, that this would make it a slow operation.

  • before (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) – Retrieve messages before this date or message. If a datetime is provided, it is recommended to use a UTC aware datetime. If the datetime is naive, it is assumed to be local time.

  • after (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) – Retrieve messages after this date or message. If a datetime is provided, it is recommended to use a UTC aware datetime. If the datetime is naive, it is assumed to be local time.

  • around (Optional[Union[abc.Snowflake, datetime.datetime]]) – Retrieve messages around this date or message. If a datetime is provided, it is recommended to use a UTC aware datetime. If the datetime is naive, it is assumed to be local time. When using this argument, the maximum limit is 101. Note that if the limit is an even number then this will return at most limit + 1 messages.

  • oldest_first (Optional[bool]) – If set to True, return messages in oldest->newest order. Defaults to True if after is specified, otherwise False.

Raises:

  • Forbidden – You do not have permissions to get channel message history.

  • HTTPException – The request to get message history failed.

Yields:

Message – The message with the message data parsed.

async with typing()[source]

Returns a context manager that allows you to type for an indefinite period of time.

This is useful for denoting long computations in your bot.

Note

This is both a regular context manager and an async context manager. This means that both with and async with work with this.

Example Usage:

async with channel.typing():
    # simulate something heavy
    await asyncio.sleep(10)

await channel.send('done!')
await invoke(command, /, *args, **kwargs)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Calls a command with the arguments given.

This is useful if you want to just call the callback that a Command holds internally.

Note

This does not handle converters, checks, cooldowns, pre-invoke, or after-invoke hooks in any matter. It calls the internal callback directly as-if it was a regular function.

You must take care in passing the proper arguments when using this function.

Parameters:

  • command (Command) – The command that is going to be called.

  • *args – The arguments to use.

  • **kwargs – The keyword arguments to use.

Raises:

TypeError – The command argument to invoke is missing.

await reinvoke(*, call_hooks=False, restart=True)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Calls the command again.

This is similar to invoke() except that it bypasses checks, cooldowns, and error handlers.

Note

If you want to bypass UserInputError derived exceptions, it is recommended to use the regular invoke() as it will work more naturally. After all, this will end up using the old arguments the user has used and will thus just fail again.

Parameters:

  • call_hooks (bool) – Whether to call the before and after invoke hooks.

  • restart (bool) – Whether to start the call chain from the very beginning or where we left off (i.e. the command that caused the error). The default is to start where we left off.

Raises:

ValueError – The context to reinvoke is not valid.

property valid[source]

Whether the invocation context is valid to be invoked with.

Type:

bool

property clean_prefix[source]

The cleaned up invoke prefix. i.e. mentions are @name instead of <@id>.

New in version 2.0.

Type:

str

property cog[source]

Returns the cog associated with this context’s command. Returns None if it does not exist.

Type:

Optional[Cog]

guild

Returns the guild associated with this context’s command. Returns None if not available.

Type:

Optional[Guild]

channel

Returns the channel associated with this context’s command. Shorthand for Message.channel.

Type:

Union[abc.Messageable]

author

Union[User, Member]: Returns the author associated with this context’s command. Shorthand for Message.author

me

Union[Member, ClientUser]: Similar to Guild.me except it may return the ClientUser in private message contexts.

property voice_client[source]

A shortcut to Guild.voice_client, if applicable.

Type:

Optional[VoiceProtocol]

await send_help(entity=<bot>)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Shows the help command for the specified entity if given. The entity can be a command or a cog.

If no entity is given, then it’ll show help for the entire bot.

If the entity is a string, then it looks up whether it’s a Cog or a Command.

Note

Due to the way this function works, instead of returning something similar to command_not_found() this returns None on bad input or no help command.

Parameters:

entity (Optional[Union[Command, Cog, str]]) – The entity to show help for.

Returns:

The result of the help command, if any.

Return type:

Any

await reply(content=None, *, fail_if_not_exists=True, **kwargs)[source]

Whether replying using the message reference should raise HTTPException if the message no longer exists or Discord could not fetch the message.

New in version 2.3.

Raises:

  • HTTPException – Sending the message failed.

  • Forbidden – You do not have the proper permissions to send the message.

  • TypeError – You specified both embed and embeds, or file and files, or view and components.

  • ValueError – The files or embeds list is too large.

Returns:

Return type:

Message

await fetch_message(id, /)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Return type:

Message

await pins()[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Retrieves all messages that are currently pinned in the channel.

Note

HTTPException – Retrieving the pinned messages failed.

Returns:

The messages that are currently pinned.

Return type:

List[Message]

await send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, embeds=None, file=None, files=None, stickers=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None, suppress_embeds=False, allowed_mentions=None, reference=None, mention_author=None, view=None, components=None)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Sends a message to the destination with the content given.

The content must be a type that can convert to a string through str(content).

At least one of content, embed/embeds, file/files, stickers, components, or view must be provided.

To upload a single file, the file parameter should be used with a single File object. To upload multiple files, the files parameter should be used with a list of File objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

To upload a single embed, the embed parameter should be used with a single Embed object. To upload multiple embeds, the embeds parameter should be used with a list of Embed objects. Specifying both parameters will lead to an exception.

Changed in version 2.6: Raises TypeError or ValueError instead of InvalidArgument.

Parameters:

  • content (Optional[str]) – The content of the message to send.

  • tts (bool) – Whether the message should be sent using text-to-speech.

  • embed (Embed) – The rich embed for the content to send. This cannot be mixed with the embeds parameter.

  • delete_after (float) – If provided, the number of seconds to wait in the background before deleting the message we just sent. If the deletion fails, then it is silently ignored.

  • allowed_mentions (AllowedMentions) –

    Controls the mentions being processed in this message. If this is passed, then the object is merged with Client.allowed_mentions. The merging behaviour only overrides attributes that have been explicitly passed to the object, otherwise it uses the attributes set in Client.allowed_mentions. If no object is passed at all then the defaults given by Client.allowed_mentions are used instead.

    New in version 1.4.

  • reference (Union[Message, MessageReference, PartialMessage]) –

    A reference to the Message to which you are replying, this can be created using Message.to_reference() or passed directly as a Message. You can control whether this mentions the author of the referenced message using the AllowedMentions.replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions or by setting mention_author.

    New in version 1.6.

  • mention_author (Optional[bool]) –

    If set, overrides the AllowedMentions.replied_user attribute of allowed_mentions.

  2. Lookup as event URL

  3. Lookup by name (in current guild; there is no disambiguation for scheduled events with multiple matching names)

New in version 2.5.

await convert(ctx, argument)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

The method to override to do conversion logic.

If an error is found while converting, it is recommended to raise a CommandError derived exception as it will properly propagate to the error handlers.

Parameters:
Raises:

  • CommandError – A generic exception occurred when converting the argument.

  • BadArgument – The converter failed to convert the argument.

class disnake.ext.commands.clean_content(*, fix_channel_mentions=False, use_nicknames=True, escape_markdown=False, remove_markdown=False)[source]

Converts the argument to mention scrubbed version of said content.

This behaves similarly to clean_content.

fix_channel_mentions

Whether to clean channel mentions.

Type:

bool

use_nicknames

Whether to use nicknames when transforming mentions.

Type:

bool

escape_markdown

await convert(ctx, argument)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

The method to override to do conversion logic.

If an error is found while converting, it is recommended to raise a CommandError derived exception as it will properly propagate to the error handlers.

Parameters:
Raises:

  • CommandError – A generic exception occurred when converting the argument.

  • BadArgument – The converter failed to convert the argument.

class disnake.ext.commands.Greedy[source]

A special converter that greedily consumes arguments until it can’t. As a consequence of this behaviour, most input errors are silently discarded, since it is used as an indicator of when to stop parsing.

When a parser error is met the greedy converter stops converting, undoes the internal string parsing routine, and continues parsing regularly.

For example, in the following code:

@commands.command()
async def test(ctx, numbers: Greedy[int], reason: str):
    await ctx.send("numbers: {0}, reason: {1}".format(numbers, reason))

An invocation of [p]test 1 2 3 4 5 6 hello would pass numbers with [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and reason with hello.

For more information, check Special Converters.

await disnake.ext.commands.run_converters(ctx, converter, argument, param)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

Parameters:

  • ctx (Context) – The invocation context to run the converters under.

  • converter (Any) – The converter to run, this corresponds to the annotation in the function.

  • argument (str) – The argument to convert to.

  • param (inspect.Parameter) – The parameter being converted. This is mainly for error reporting.

Raises:

CommandError – The converter failed to convert.

Returns:

The resulting conversion.

Return type:

Flag Converter

class disnake.ext.commands.FlagConverter[source]

A converter that allows for a user-friendly flag syntax.

The flags are defined using PEP 526 type annotations similar to the dataclasses Python module. For more information on how this converter works, check the appropriate documentation.

iter(x)

Returns an iterator of (flag_name, flag_value) pairs. This allows it to be, for example, constructed as a dict or a list of pairs. Note that aliases are not shown.

New in version 2.0.

Parameters:

  • case_insensitive (bool) – A class parameter to toggle case insensitivity of the flag parsing. If True then flags are parsed in a case insensitive manner. Defaults to False.

  • prefix (str) – The prefix that all flags must be prefixed with. By default there is no prefix.

  • delimiter (str) – The delimiter that separates a flag’s argument from the flag’s name. By default this is :.

classmethod get_flags()[source]

Dict[str, Flag]: A mapping of flag name to flag object this converter has.

classmethod await convert(ctx, argument)[source]

This function is a coroutine.

The method that actually converters an argument to the flag mapping.

Parameters:

  • cls (Type[FlagConverter]) – The flag converter class.

  • ctx (Context) – The invocation context.

  • argument (str) – The argument to convert from.

Raises:
Returns:

The flag converter instance with all flags parsed.

Return type:

FlagConverter
