Cooldown

Although you can implement your own cooldown logic, you might wanna try @slipher/cooldown first.

Installing...

npm add @slipher/cooldown

First you need to add cooldown property to client as shown below

import { Client, type UsingClient } from "seyfert";
import { CooldownManager } from "@slipher/cooldown";
 
const client = new Client() as UsingClient & Client;
 
client.start().then(() => {
	client.cooldown = new CooldownManager(client);
})
 
declare module "seyfert" {
	interface UsingClient {
		cooldown: CooldownManager;
	}
}

And then we can use @Cooldown() decorator in our commands, it takes 3 arguments:

Property	Type	Description
type	CooldownType	target type, can be user, guild or channel
interval	number	time to refresh uses
uses	number	how many uses user can use this command in the given interval

import { Declare, Command, type CommandContext } from "seyfert";
import { CooldownType, Cooldown } from "@slipher/cooldown";
 
@Declare({
	name: 'cool',
	description: 'Reference command'
})
@Cooldown({
	type: CooldownType.User,
	interval: 1000 * 60,
	uses: {
		default: 2
	},
})
export default class Cool extends Command {
  async run(ctx: CommandContext) {
    await ctx.write({
      content: `A cool command`
    });
  }
 
  onMiddlewaresError(context: CommandContext, error: string) {
    context.editOrReply({ content: error })
  }
}

And then we need to create a middleware for handle when the user is in cooldown:

import { createMiddleware, Formatter } from 'seyfert';
import { TimestampStyle } from 'seyfert/lib/common';
 
export default createMiddleware<void>(async ({ context, next, stop }) => {
	const inCooldown = context.client.cooldown.context(context);
 
	typeof inCooldown === 'number'
		? stop(
				`You're in cooldown, try again ${Formatter.timestamp(new Date(Date.now() + inCooldown), TimestampStyle.RelativeTime)}`,
			)
		: next();
});
