2. 🚀 Showcase
This snippet showcases a bot with a minimal API-style /square command and includes a module-based /greet command.
Required usings omitted for readability, click here to show
```cs using Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting; using NetCord; using NetCord.Services.ApplicationCommands; using NetCord.Hosting.Gateway; using NetCord.Hosting.Services.ApplicationCommands; ```Minimal API-style Bot Example
The following example sets up a bot with a minimal API-style approach for the /square command, which calculates the square of a number:
var builder = Host.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseDiscordGateway()
.UseApplicationCommands<SlashCommandInteraction, SlashCommandContext>();
var host = builder.Build()
.AddSlashCommand<SlashCommandContext>("square", "Square!", (int a) => $"{a}² = {a * a}")
.UseGatewayEventHandlers();
await host.RunAsync();Module-based Command Example
Moreover, you can use a module-based approach. Here's an example of a /greet command that greets a specified user:
public class GreetingModule : ApplicationCommandModule<SlashCommandContext>
{
[SlashCommand("greet", "Greet someone!")]
public string Greet(User user) => $"{Context.User} greets {user}!";
