Inhibitor Types

More Coverage

Right now, your inhibitors only runs before a command.
They do not actually run on all messages.

To change that, change the type option.

import { Inhibitor } from "discord-akairo";
import { Message } from "discord.js";

export default class BlacklistInhibitor extends Inhibitor {
  constructor() {
    super("blacklist", {
      reason: "blacklist",
      type: "all"
    });
  }

  exec(message: Message): boolean {
    // Still a meanie!
    const blacklist = ["81440962496172032"];
    return blacklist.includes(message.author.id);
  }
}

There are three types:

• all is run on all messages.
• pre is run on messages not blocked by all and built-in inhibitors.
• post (the default) is run on messages before commands, not blocked by the previous.

The built-in inhibitors are:

• client blocks the client (itself).
• bot blocks all other bots.
• owner blocks non-owners from using owner-only commands.
• guild blocks guild-only commands used in DMs.
• dm blocks DM-only commands used in guilds.

To make it easier to visualize, here is the order:

• all type inhibitors.
• client, and bot.
• (commands sent when someone is in the middle of being prompted are blocked here)
• pre type inhibitors.
• owner, guild, and dm.
• (commands that have missing permissions are blocked here)
• post type inhibitors.
• (commands under cooldown are blocked here)
