Discord Bot Tutorial: Ping Command with Slash Commands

Follow the steps below to create a simple Discord bot with a ping command using slash commands.

Directory Structure:
.
└── discord_bot
    ├── bot.py
    └── cogs
        └── ping.py

Step 1: Create the main bot file (bot.py):
import discord
from discord.ext import commands

intents = discord.Intents.default()
bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!", intents=intents)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f'Logged in as {bot.user}!')

bot.load_extension("cogs.ping")

bot.run('YOUR_BOT_TOKEN')

Step 2: Create the ping command in the 'cogs' folder (ping.py):
from discord.ext import commands
from discord import app_commands

class Ping(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print("Ping Cog Loaded")

    @app_commands.command(name="ping", description="Check bot latency.")
    async def ping(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        latency = round(self.bot.latency * 1000)
        await interaction.response.send_message(f"Pong! Latency: {latency}ms")

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Ping(bot))

Step 3: Run the bot using:
python3 bot.py
