Cooldown portion not working

[jasonrbarnes81]

In the guide for cooldown it tells you to place the code in InteractionCreate with the assumption you followed the Command Handling portion.

When you do this it gives an error that client is not defined due to this line
const { cooldowns } = client;

When you look at the repository the code provided is in the index.js file and not in the interactionCreate file that was created during command handling portion.

The question i have is what is the equivalent items for client in the interactionCreate.js file that was created?

interactionCreated code below

`const { Events } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
name: Events.InteractionCreate,
async execute(interaction) {
if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

	const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

	if (!command) {
		console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
		return;
	}
	const { cooldowns } = client;

if (!cooldowns.has(command.data.name)) {
	cooldowns.set(command.data.name, new Collection());
}

const now = Date.now();
const timestamps = cooldowns.get(command.data.name);
const defaultCooldownDuration = 3;
const cooldownAmount = (command.cooldown ?? defaultCooldownDuration) * 1000;

if (timestamps.has(interaction.user.id)) {
	const expirationTime = timestamps.get(interaction.user.id) + cooldownAmount;

	if (now < expirationTime) {
		const expiredTimestamp = Math.round(expirationTime / 1000);
		return interaction.reply({ content: `Please wait, you are on a cooldown for \`${command.data.name}\`. You can use it again <t:${expiredTimestamp}:R>.`, ephemeral: true });
	}
}

timestamps.set(interaction.user.id, now);
setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(interaction.user.id), cooldownAmount);
	

	try {
		await command.execute(interaction);
	} catch (error) {
		console.error(`Error executing ${interaction.commandName}`);
		console.error(error);
	}
},

};`

You just didnt define it
Guide shows this part: https://discordjs.guide/additional-features/cooldowns.html#cooldowns

I have client.cooldowns = new Collection(); in my index.js
I also put it in my interactionCreate file after your reply and still get that client is not defined.

When i look at the github repo it only shows this code in the index file. if i take what is there an place it in the index file it works no issue but i am wanting the code in the event file that was created.

I have it figured out. when in the interactionCreate.js file ,that was created during the Command Handling portion of the guide, you need to have client changed to interaction.client.

The git hub needs to be updated to reflect correctly. the link does not provide the interactionCreate.js file at all.
https://github.com/discordjs/guide/tree/main/code-samples/additional-features/cooldowns

Below is what the interactionCreate.js should look like after implementing the cooldown function.

`const { Events, Collection } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
name: Events.InteractionCreate,
async execute(interaction) {
if (!interaction.isChatInputCommand()) return;

	const command = interaction.client.commands.get(interaction.commandName);

	if (!command) {
		console.error(`No command matching ${interaction.commandName} was found.`);
		return;
	}
	
	
	const { cooldowns } = interaction.client;
	

if (!cooldowns.has(command.data.name)) {
	cooldowns.set(command.data.name, new Collection());
}

const now = Date.now();
const timestamps = cooldowns.get(command.data.name);
const defaultCooldownDuration = 3;
const cooldownAmount = (command.cooldown ?? defaultCooldownDuration) * 1000;

if (timestamps.has(interaction.user.id)) {
	const expirationTime = timestamps.get(interaction.user.id) + cooldownAmount;

	if (now < expirationTime) {
		const expiredTimestamp = Math.round(expirationTime / 1000);
		return interaction.reply({ content: `Please wait, you are on a cooldown for \`${command.data.name}\`. You can use it again <t:${expiredTimestamp}:R>.`, ephemeral: true });
	}
}

timestamps.set(interaction.user.id, now);
setTimeout(() => timestamps.delete(interaction.user.id), cooldownAmount);
	

	try {
		await command.execute(interaction);
	} catch (error) {
		console.error(`Error executing ${interaction.commandName}`);
		console.error(error);
	}
},

};`
