Centralising errors catching about necord HOT 5 CLOSED

Hello! you can create a Exception Filter passaing the DiscordAPIError in the @Catch decorator
You can ignore specific errors by checking it's code from RESTJSONErrorCodes that can be imported from discord-api-types

from necord.

@carlonicora Thank you for question!
@NedcloarBR right! Just read more about Exception Filters and global providers

from necord.

@NedcloarBR thanks for the reply.
I have one additional question.

I have created a specific exception filter which traps the call; however I have two issues:

1. If I trap a DiscordAPIError, I cannot find the interaction context, hence I cannot reply to the interaction with an error.
2. If the error is because the server still has an old slash command (not sure why the old ones are not removed), the error is not in a command, hence I cannot use the UseFilters decorator and the application crashes

Am I doing something wrong in here, or are these two edge cases?

import { Catch, ExceptionFilter } from '@nestjs/common';
import { DiscordAPIError } from 'discord.js';

@Catch(DiscordAPIError)
export class DiscordExceptionFilter implements ExceptionFilter {
  catch(error: DiscordAPIError) {
    console.log(error);

//I normally create an error embed and return it to Discord to warn the user
    // return new EmbedBuilder()
    //   .setColor(Colour.Red)
    //   .setTitle('Error')
    //   .setDescription(error.message);
  }
}

@CharacterCommandsDecorator()
@UseFilters(DiscordExceptionFilter)
export class CharacterDetailsCommand {
  @Subcommand({
    name: 'details',
    description: 'Get the details of a character',
  })
  public async onDetails(
    @Context() [interaction]: SlashCommandContext,
    @Options() { player }: ...

thanks

EDIT: forgot to add I have this

app.useGlobalFilters(new DiscordExceptionFilter());

in my main.ts

EDIT 2: I realised one of my issues: I can create a filter for my own error type to fix the issue 2, but issue 1 is still there

from necord.

You can get host arguments.

Also, you can join to our Discord server for quick response

Discord message with response

from necord.

Btw, from arguments host you can get discovery item to create own typeguard of commands, events, modals and etc.
