<h1>Royalnet Commands<a class="headerlink" href="#royalnet-commands" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>A Royalnet Command is a small script that is run whenever a specific message is sent to a Royalnet interface.</p>
<p>A Command code looks like this:</p>

</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="creating-a-new-command">
<h2>Creating a new Command<a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-new-command" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>First, think of a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">name</span></code> for your command.
It’s the name your command will be called with: for example, the “spaghetti” command will be called by typing <strong>/spaghetti</strong> in chat.
Try to keep the name as short as possible, while staying specific enough so no other command will have the same name.</p>
<p>Next, create a new Python file with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">name</span></code> you have thought of.
The previously mentioned “spaghetti” command should have a file called <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">spaghetti.py</span></code>.</p>
<p>Then, in the first row of the file, import the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Command</span></code> class from royalnet, and create a new class inheriting from it:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">royalnet.commands</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">Command</span>
<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">SpaghettiCommand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Command</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="o">...</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Inside the class, override the attributes <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">name</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">description</span></code> with respectively the <strong>name of the command</strong> and a <strong>small description of what the command will do</strong>:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">royalnet.commands</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">Command</span>
<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">SpaghettiCommand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Command</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="n">name</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;spaghetti&quot;</span>
<span class="n">description</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;Send a spaghetti emoji in the chat.&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now override the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Command.run()</span></code> method, adding the code you want the bot to run when the command is called.</p>
<p>To send a message in the chat the command was called in, you can use the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CommandData.reply()</span></code> method:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">royalnet.commands</span> <span class="k">import</span> <span class="n">Command</span>
<span class="k">class</span> <span class="nc">SpaghettiCommand</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Command</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="n">name</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;spaghetti&quot;</span>
<span class="n">description</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="s2">&quot;Send a spaghetti emoji in the chat.&quot;</span>
<span class="k">async</span> <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">args</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">data</span><span class="p">):</span>
<span class="k">await</span> <span class="n">data</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">reply</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s2">&quot;🍝&quot;</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>And… it’s done! The command is ready to be added to a Pack!</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="command-arguments">
<h2>Command arguments<a class="headerlink" href="#command-arguments" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>A command can have some arguments passed by the user: for example, on Telegram an user may type <cite>/spaghetti carbonara al-dente</cite>
to pass the <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/stdtypes.html#str" title="(in Python v3.7)"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">str</span></code></a> <cite>“carbonara al-dente”</cite> to the command code.</p>
<p>These arguments can be accessed in multiple ways through the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">args</span></code> parameter passed to the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Command.run()</span></code>
method.</p>
<p>If you want your command to use arguments, override the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">syntax</span></code> class attribute with a brief description of the
syntax of your command, possibly using {curly braces} for required arguments and [square brackets] for optional
ones.</p>

<p>You can consider arguments as if they were separated by spaces.</p>

<p>If you request an argument with a certain number, but the argument does not exist, an

<p>If you don’t want arguments to be required, you can access them through the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CommandArgs.optional()</span></code> method: it
will return <code class="xref py py-const docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">None</span></code> if the argument wasn’t passed, making it <strong>optional</strong>.</p>

<p>For more complex commands, you may want to get arguments through <a class="reference external" href="https://regexr.com/">regular expressions</a>.</p>
<p>You can then use the <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CommandArgs.match()</span></code> method, which tries to match a pattern to the command argument string,
which returns a tuple of the matched groups and raises an <code class="xref py py-exc docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">InvalidInputError</span></code> if there is no match.</p>
<p>To match a pattern, <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/re.html#re.match" title="(in Python v3.7)"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">re.match()</span></code></a> is used, meaning that Python will try to match only at the beginning of the string.</p>

<h2>Coroutines and slow operations<a class="headerlink" href="#coroutines-and-slow-operations" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>You may have noticed that in the previous examples we used <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">await</span> <span class="pre">data.reply(&quot;🍝&quot;)</span></code> instead of just <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">data.reply(&quot;🍝&quot;)</span></code>.</p>
<p>This is because <code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CommandData.reply()</span></code> isn’t a simple method: it is a coroutine, a special kind of function that
can be executed separately from the rest of the code, allowing the bot to do other things in the meantime.</p>
<p>By adding the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">await</span></code> keyword before the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">data.reply(&quot;🍝&quot;)</span></code>, we tell the bot that it can do other things, like
receiving new messages, while the message is being sent.</p>
<p>You should avoid running slow normal functions inside bot commands, as they will stop the bot from working until they
are finished and may cause bugs in other parts of the code!</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">async</span> <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">args</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">data</span><span class="p">):</span>

<div class="section" id="delete-the-invoking-message">
<h2>Delete the invoking message<a class="headerlink" href="#delete-the-invoking-message" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>The invoking message of a command is the message that the user sent that the bot recognized as a command; for example,
the message <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/spaghetti</span> <span class="pre">carbonara</span></code> is the invoking message for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">spaghetti</span></code> command run.</p>
<p>You can have the bot delete the invoking message for a command by calling the <code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">CommandData.delete_invoking</span></code>
method:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">async</span> <span class="k">def</span> <span class="nf">run</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="bp">self</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">args</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">data</span><span class="p">):</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Not all interfaces support deleting messages; by default, if the interface does not support deletions, the call is
ignored.</p>
<p>You can have the method raise an error if the message can’t be deleted by setting the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">error_if_unavailable</span></code> parameter
