I need some help in command handler (discord js)

Code Help - Discord
1

const command = args.shift().slice(config.prefix.length);

//my subfolders (i.e: modules)

// These are the folder names in the command directory

let cmdFile = require(../Commands/${command});
//add more subfolders
console.log([command-execute] The command ${command} has been executed by ${msg.author.tag} in ${msg.guild.name})
if (!cmdFile) {
return;
}
if (cmdFile) {
cmdFile(bot, msg, args).catch(err => {
const error = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle(command)
.setDescription(Sorry about this!)
.addField(Here's what returned, “" + err + "”, false)
.setFooter(Contact a developer to fix this)
.setColor(0xf45c42)

    msg.channel.send(error)

    console.error(`On execution of ` + command + `in ` + msg.guild.name + `, something went wrong: ` + err)
});

}

Hi right now for example if i do *hug (where * is the prefix) it will find the command in …/Commands but the hug command is in an sub folder like this …/Commands/(some folder)/hug, i want to automate the (folder) so it cycles in all the folders located in …/Commands and finds where the command hug is located,
thank you

@Atom-Dragon - like based on the command name, assuming that the command name and file name are same?

3

Ok i put the hug command in a sub folder say emotions
so the location is …/Command/emotions/hug now when a person run the command it only checks for it in …/Command/ now i have many sub folders one for mod, utils etc i want it to auto find the hug command i tried doing it like this

var stuff = [‘utils’,‘mod’,‘emotions’]

let cmdFile = require(`../Commands/${command}` && '../Commands/${stuff}/${command}');

where command is hug…etc
but it doesn’t cycle it does cannot find module in …/Command/utils,mod,emotions/hug

4

Why not declare it as a new variable?

let emotionCmd = require(`../Commands/${stuff}/${command}`)
6

doesn’t work it still say this
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: Cannot find module '../Commands/mod,utills/ban'

the let stuff = ['mod','utills'] wont cycle it takes it as one as in stuff is /mod,utills/

7

Here is something that might work…

function filterStuff(stuff, command) {
     for (let i=0; i < stuff.length; i++) {
          try {
               let file = require("../Commands/" + stuff[i] + "/"  + command + ".js"
               return file;
          } catch(e) {
               //No command found in category.
          }
     }
     return "No command found.";
}
8

sadly it didn’t work T-T

9

Any errors? What doesn’t work?

10

one error is that return file; it says that an ; is expected

My bad… I forgot some parenthesis. :roll_eyes:

function filterStuff(stuff, command) {
     for (let i=0; i < stuff.length; i++) {
          try {
               let file = require("../Commands/" + stuff[i] + "/"  + command + ".js");
               return file;
          } catch(e) {
               //No command found in category.
          }
     }
     return "No command found.";
}
