<div class="section" id="id1">
<h2>Creating a new Command<a class="headerlink" href="#id1" 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 <a class="reference internal" href="../apireference.html#royalnet.commands.Command" title="royalnet.commands.Command"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">Command</span></code></a> 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">import</span> <span class="nn">royalnet.commands</span> <span class="k">as</span> <span class="nn">rc</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">import</span> <span class="nn">royalnet.commands</span> <span class="k">as</span> <span class="nn">rc</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 <a class="reference internal" href="../apireference.html#royalnet.commands.Command.run" title="royalnet.commands.Command.run"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">run()</span></code></a> 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 <a class="reference internal" href="../apireference.html#royalnet.commands.CommandData.reply" title="royalnet.commands.CommandData.reply"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">reply()</span></code></a> coroutine:</p>

<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">rc</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">CommandArgs</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">data</span><span class="p">:</span> <span class="n">rc</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">CommandData</span><span class="p">):</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Finally, open the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">commands/__init__.py</span></code> file, and import your command there, then add a reference to your imported
command to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">available_commands</span></code> list:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="c1"># Imports go here!</span>

<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/3.8/library/stdtypes.html#str" title="(in Python v3.8)"><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 <a class="reference internal" href="../apireference.html#royalnet.commands.Command.run" title="royalnet.commands.Command.run"><code class="xref py py-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">run()</span></code></a>
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>
