Discord Slash Commands
TLDR: Create and handle slash commands in discord.js more easily!
(boomer take) Making commands for Discord bots used to be simple. You scan the content of messages for your commands and then you reply. Granted, this wasn't exactly efficient, but now you have to do a whole thing with registering commands (and you don't even get a GUI for it!), and then handling each one.
I don't want to do that and chances are that neither do you. This tool will give you the option to write fewer lines of code when writing slash commands and a simple Terminal command to register them.

Once you ship this you can't edit the description of the project, but you'll be able to add more devlogs and re-ship it as you add new features!
Timeline
Had a bit of trouble with the NPM registry (and leaked my bot's token by accident, thankfully discord resets it), but it's published!
So this is how the handler will look. The code is basically copied from discordjs.guide. The app ID and token are in the ctor cause i'm too lazy/have no time/am not smart enough to use a config file even though i planned to.

Started making a config file setup using lilconfig. I don't know if this works but it's something!
Still doesn't look like much has changed, but I've moved the required elements from the builder pattern to the class constructor/function call (see: command name, option name)
Started making the SlashCommandBuilder! There's stuff still missing like localizations, but I think I'm about halfway done with the builder!
All of the individual option types have been implemented! As a bonus, I also learned the basics of semantic commit names and github projects! I'm gonna move on now to making the main command builder or tests idk yet!
I know on the outside it doesn't look like much has changed, but building options for commands is pretty much ready; I just need to implement each option type given by Discord. Then I can move to creating the actual command builder.
Managed to add a choices builder that's used for string, integer and number command options, so that the choices are the only available options as said in the Discord documentation
Made a builder class for options, but so far the type inference doesn't really work. I might need to rethink this again.
I redid this another way where the type that converts Discord types into TS types (UsableOptionsType) doesn't take in an array of objects but rather a Record<string, DeliverableOptionData>, because TS couldn't infer types the previous way. But it works!
Type inference from an array works! The DeliverableOptionData interface isn't final of course as Discord also requires stuff like the description of an option, but I'm happy that I got this working!
I'm figuring out TS conditional types and it's very exciting and very confusing at the same time! (mostly confusing)
Set up the repository with 2 packages - the CLI and the Builder. Created the Builder class with a basic function for setting and validating the name of the command.
