after Function

UNSTABLE

The after() function is currently marked as unstable and may change in the future.

The after() function allows you to execute a callback after a command has been executed. This is useful for performing actions that should occur after the command has completed, such as logging or cleanup tasks.

Usage​

src/app/commands/ping.ts
import {
  type CommandData,
  type ChatInputCommand,
  unstable_after as after,
} from 'commandkit';

export const command: CommandData = {};

export const chatInput: ChatInputCommand = async (ctx) => {
  after(() => {
    // This code will be executed after the command has been executed
    // Perform any cleanup here
    console.log('Command has been executed');
  });

  await ctx.interaction.reply({
    content: 'Hello World',
    ephemeral: true,
  });
};
info

The after() function will always be called, regardless of whether the command execution was successful or not.

Cancelling the after function​

You can cancel the after function by calling the cancelAfter function with the ID of the after function.

src/app/commands/ping.ts
import {
  unstable_after as after,
  unstable_cancelAfter as cancelAfter,
} from 'commandkit';

export const chatInput: ChatInputCommand = async (ctx) => {
  const id = after(() => {
    console.log('This will run after the command has finished executing.');
  });

  if (something) {
    cancelAfter(id);
  }
};
