#4.Slash Commands in discord.py

Hey Fellows!
I am back with another post and this time we will learn about:

1.Slash Commands

• What are slash commands?

  when you type (/) in your discord chat (if you have use application commands perms in channel) then u might see some suggestions. These are slash commands. It helps to interact with bots. Slash command got features like autocomplete.

• How to create a slash Command?

  to create a slash command we will create an interaction.
  Now what is interacton? Well we will discuss about it.....

2.Creating A Slash Command:

1. First of all we will use a decorator: ```python

@bot.tree.command(name="mannu",description="Mannu is a good boy")

2.Under this decorator we will create our async def as we always do:
```python


async def slash_command(interaction:discord.Interaction):
    # Your Logic Goes Here...

3.in this def we will write a syntax to send message:

await interaction.response.send_message("Hello World!")

• Here's the complete code just in case: ```python

@bot.tree.command(name="mannu",description="Mannu is a good boy")
async def slash_command(interaction:discord.Interaction):
await interaction.response.send_message("Hello World!")

Now let's try to understand what we did here:

In `step 1`, we used a decorator to create our command and in that decorator, I provided name and description of my command.

In `step 2`, I created a async def and in this async def there is param interaction which is discord.Interaction. its work iss same as `ctx` we used in our first `.hello` command. we will use it to control our bot.

now as our interaction is created let's create a logic

In `step 3`, I awaited a syntex to send a response of that interaction.

Before running our code we need to make sure our command gets synced with bot so we will add the following syntax in our on_ready event:
```python


await bot.tree.sync()

here's complete code

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    await bot.tree.sync()

Now Let's run our code and see does it work or not...

python main.py

Now on typing (/) we can see our slash command

Well I had to change the bot coz my bot was giving me error coz I accidently used discord in my bot username which isn't allowed.
I'll fix it in next post

So This is how We create our slash command. Hope it helps you.
