EventHandler

Base class for a Discord client event handler.

Pass the event name(s) as the generic, the same one(s) as @RegisterEvent@RegisterEvent. A single-event handler reads this.eventthis.event (the payload tuple) directly. A handler registered for several events branches with this.matchthis.match, keyed by event name, since the union of payload tuples is not directly readable.

    extends BaseHandler<ClientEvents[Names]>

\@RegisterEvent([Events.MessageCreate], [Events.MessageUpdate])
class PingPong extends EventHandler<Events.MessageCreate | Events.MessageUpdate> {
    async execute() {
        await this.match({
            [Events.MessageCreate]: (message) => message.reply('pong'),
            [Events.MessageUpdate]: (_oldMessage, edited) => edited.reply('pong')
        });
    }
}

\@RegisterEvent([Events.MessageCreate], [Events.MessageUpdate])
class PingPong extends EventHandler<Events.MessageCreate | Events.MessageUpdate> {
    async execute() {
        await this.match({
            [Events.MessageCreate]: (message) => message.reply('pong'),
            [Events.MessageUpdate]: (_oldMessage, edited) => edited.reply('pong')
        });
    }
}

Member visibility

Filter class members by access level.

constructor

Constructs a new instance of the EventHandlerEventHandler class

EventHandler(
    event: ClientEvents[Names],
    core: Core,
    eventName?: Names
)

EventHandler(
    event: ClientEvents[Names],
    core: Core,
    eventName?: Names

Names

One or more ClientEventsClientEvents keys, e.g. Events.MessageCreateEvents.MessageCreate or Events.MessageCreate | Events.MessageUpdateEvents.MessageCreate | Events.MessageUpdate.

protected readonly event: SingleEventPayload<Names>

protected readonly event: SingleEventPayload<Names>

match()

Run the arm for whichever event fired, when this handler is registered for several events.

Provide one arm per registered event, keyed by its name, and each arm receives that event's payload tuple. A missing arm is a compile error. A single-event handler reads this.eventthis.event directly instead.

protected async match<Ret>(
    arms: EventMatchArms<Names, Ret>
): Promise<Ret>

protected async match<Ret>(
    arms: EventMatchArms<Names, Ret>
): Promise<Ret>

Parameter: arms

One handler per registered event, keyed by event name.
