v5.0.0-alpha.22

Overview

This is most likely the final alpha release. The current plan is to merge a few more breaking changes, and address some remaining TODOs before finally bumping to beta! Stay tuned.

Implement new select menus (#2287)

Discord has introduced new select menu component types, which support selecting mentionable entities like User/Role/Channel. With this release we are introducing a small breaking change to the SelectMenu type:

• StringSelectMenu is the old select menu, used for custom string choices
• EntitySelectMenu is the new select menu, used for mentionable entities

And you use the StringSelectInteractionEvent and EntitySelectInteractionEvent to handle them.

Ability to disable/pause invites of a guild (#2222)

Recently, Discord added a new moderation feature to pause the invites of a guild, including vanity invites. This is usually done using the Pause Invites button in the guild settings.

You can now do this using the GuildManager via setInvitesDisabled(true).

Scheduled Events (#2047)

This is rather late, but you can now handle and create scheduled events. To create a scheduled event you can use one of the createScheduledEvent overloads in Guild:

• Use createScheduledEvent(name, channel, time) to create a local event to take place in a specific voice or stage channel
• Use createScheduledEvent(name, location, startTime, endTime) to create an external event, such as a concert or similar
