I always felt that the way we manage commands help text documentation could be done better.
Currently, every time we add a new command we have to manually go and add the corresponding documentation to the
Help
component, which many new developers might not even know about.In this PR,
metaData
property toChatCraftCommand
class, that takes ahelpTitle
andhelpDescription
as a markdown string.ChatCraftCommandRegistry
now exposes a list of all the supported command objects, that is used to generate the relevant documentation markdown for the commands table (instead of static text)metaData
a mandatory argument inChatCraftCommand
constructor also ensures that if anyone adds a new command in the future, they cannot get away without adding corresponding documentation to it.I did not file an issue prior to this, as I was just experimenting and it turned out to work well.
