Creating Polls

In Seyfert, the ability to create polls is just around the corner!
This section will show the basic creation of polls, events, and examples.

This is an expanded section of the configuration file.

seyfert.config.mjs
export default config.bot({
   //... other options
   intents: ['GuildMessagePolls', 'DirectMessagePolls'],
});

Receiving Events

There are currently 2 events for polls: messagePollVoteAdd and messagePollVoteRemove.

addVote.ts
export default createEvent({
    data: { name: 'messagePollVoteAdd' },
    run: (data) => {
        // You can do whatever you want with the data
        console.log(`The user: ${data.userId} added a vote to the poll: ${data.messageId}`);
    },
});

End of Event

To check when a poll ends, use the messageUpdate event.

Here’s a quick example that edits the message when a poll is completed:

messageUpdate.ts
export default createEvent({
    data: { name: 'messageUpdate' },
    // This is [oldMessage, newMessage]
    // But in this example, we only need newMessage
    run: ([, newMessage]) => {
        if (newMessage.poll?.results?.isFinalized) {
            console.log(`The poll with the id: ${newMessage.id} has ended`)
        }
    },
});

Commands

Quick examples of how to create a poll and how to end it.

Let’s assume you have the following directory structure:

  • src
  • Directorycommands
    • Directorypoll
      • start.command.ts
      • end.command.ts
      • parent.ts
  • index.ts
  • seyfert.config.mjs
  • package.json
  • tsconfig.json
poll.parent.ts
import { AutoLoad, Declare, Command } from 'seyfert';


@Declare({
    name: 'poll',
    description: 'Poll command!',
})
@AutoLoad()
export default class PollCommand extends Command {}
