Hello, I am trying to make a embed reply but I get this error when I try to?

Here is my code,

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('help')
        .setDescription('A help command.'),
    async execute(interaction) {
        return interaction.EmbedReply()
        .setColor('#fff45e')
        .setTitle('Help Command!')
        .setDescription('Help Command.')
        .addField('Fun', 'Utility', 'Moderation', 'Music', 'Others')
        .addField(
            { name: 'Fun', value: 'Coming soon!', inline: false },
            { name: 'Utility', value: 'Coming soon!', inline: false },
            { name: 'Moderation', value: 'Coming soon!', inline: false },
            { name: 'Music', value: 'Coming soon!', inline: false },

        )
        .setTimestap()

    },
};

TypeError: interaction.EmbedReply is not a function

The error is a bit self explanatory, but as you can see “EmbedReply” is not a function.

luke · April 30, 2022, 3:51pm

Oh yeah, so then how do I make a embed reply with slash commands? I have searched everywhere and nothing has helped.

cookie · April 30, 2022, 7:45pm

I don’t code in js, I’m not the best to help you in this.

However this is from the official docs: Embeds | discord.js Guide (discordjs.guide)

cookie · April 30, 2022, 7:46pm

I see your error I think, do you import const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js');?

luke · April 30, 2022, 7:48pm

Now I’ve got this error.

You’ve installed the packages right?

npm install @discordjs/builders

luke · April 30, 2022, 7:54pm

Yes.

Are you on the latest version on discord.js?

luke · April 30, 2022, 8:19pm

Yup.

cookie · April 30, 2022, 8:25pm

Grrr, as somebody who struggles with js this may be a challenge to solve.

Can you get this to work on it’s own without any errors??

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
	.setName('help')
	.setDescription('A help command.')
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
	if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;

	if (interaction.commandName === 'help') {
		await interaction.reply('Giving help!!');
	}
});

luke · April 30, 2022, 8:28pm

cookie:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
	.setName('help')
	.setDescription('A help command.')
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
	if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;

	if (interaction.commandName === 'help') {
		await interaction.reply('Giving help!!');
	}
});

That doesn’t work, I did this and named it test and it worked?

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

module.exports = {
	data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
		.setName('test')
		.setDescription('testing'),
	async execute(interaction) {
		return interaction.reply({ content: 'test', ephemeral: true });
	},
};

Great, can you change content to be an embed?

E.g:

// at the top of your file
const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js');

// inside a command, event listener, etc.
const exampleEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
	.setColor('#0099ff')
	.setTitle('Some title')
	.setURL('https://discord.js.org/')
	.setAuthor({ name: 'Some name', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png', url: 'https://discord.js.org' })
	.setDescription('Some description here')
	.setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png')
	.addFields(
		{ name: 'Regular field title', value: 'Some value here' },
		{ name: '\u200B', value: '\u200B' },
		{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
		{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
	)
	.addField('Inline field title', 'Some value here', true)
	.setImage('https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png')
	.setTimestamp()
	.setFooter({ text: 'Some footer text here', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png' });



{ content: 'embeds: [exampleEmbed]', ephemeral: true }

That should do the trick…

luke · April 30, 2022, 8:44pm

Put the code in, heres the code.

// at the top of your file

const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js');

// inside a command, event listener, etc.

const exampleEmbed = new MessageEmbed()

    .setColor('#0099ff')

    .setTitle('Some title')

    .setURL('https://discord.js.org/')

    .setAuthor({ name: 'Some name', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png', url: 'https://discord.js.org' })

    .setDescription('Some description here')

    .setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png')

    .addFields(

        { name: 'Regular field title', value: 'Some value here' },

        { name: '\u200B', value: '\u200B' },

        { name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },

        { name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },

    )

    .addField('Inline field title', 'Some value here', true)

    .setImage('https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png')

    .setTimestamp()

    .setFooter({ text: 'Some footer text here', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png' });

({ embed: 'embeds: [exampleEmbed]', ephemeral: true });

Another flippin error, here it is.

That wasn’t code, that was an example, this is how it should work:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');
const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
	data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
		.setName('test')
		.setDescription('testing'),
	async execute(interaction) {
       const exampleEmbed = new MessageEmbed()
	    .setColor('#0099ff')
	    .setTitle('Some title')
	    .setURL('https://discord.js.org/')
	    .setAuthor({ name: 'Some name', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png', url: 'https://discord.js.org' })
	    .setDescription('Some description here')
	    .setThumbnail('https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png')
	    .addFields(
		{ name: 'Regular field title', value: 'Some value here' },
		{ name: '\u200B', value: '\u200B' },
		{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
		{ name: 'Inline field title', value: 'Some value here', inline: true },
	    )
	    . addField('Inline field title', 'Some value here', true)
	    .setImage('https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png')
	    .setTimestamp()
	    .setFooter({ text: 'Some footer text here', iconURL: 'https://i.imgur.com/AfFp7pu.png' });
       return interaction.reply({ embed: 'embeds: [exampleEmbed]', ephemeral: true });
	},
};

You may need to edit the code a bit, as I didn’t write the code in an IDE or tested it.

Looks like we may have an issue with sending the embeds

Especially on this line…

cookie · April 30, 2022, 9:09pm

Try change this to:

return interaction.reply({ embed: exampleEmbed, ephemeral: true });
