Migrations¶
Discord updates its features frequently, which can affect how legacy code works. This migration guide helps you transition from older examples to their updated equivalents, with a brief explanation of the changes and how to use them in the new API.
Table of Contents¶
Prefix to Application Command¶
Application commands are a newer, feature-rich, and less cumbersome replacement for message prefix commands. There are three types:
- Slash commands (e.g.,
/example) - Message commands (message option under
Apps) - User commands (user option under
Apps)
Why is this less cumbersome? You no longer need to listen to and parse message content (which is now a privileged intent). Instead, you just listen for InteractionCreate events — and that’s where ScurryPy comes in!
