Discord v13 - Documentation Unclear About Separated Commands and Events

[JohannSuarez]

Further documentation about registering and replying to 'slash' commands assume the Client object listens for interaction events purely from index.js itself. However, they encourage decoupling events and commands from index.js as written here: https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/event-handling.html#individual-event-files https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-handling.html#reading-command-files

This article comes after https://discordjs.guide/interactions/replying-to-slash-commands.html#receiving-interactions.

Other devs have pointed out this inconsistency in the docs. See: https://github.com/discordjs/guide/issues/859

Temporary Solution: Make an exception for interactionCreate. Have it both explicitly written out in index.js, as well as be a .js in the events directory. There is no time left for a cleaner implementation.
