Template Encourages too much Redundancy

[Kaisarion]

start-bot.ts requires the importation of command classes through the index.ts.

then, there is a command array created:

 let commands: Command[] = [
        // Commands
       // Chat Commands
       // _Admin
        new CreateRoleCommand(),
        new DeleteRoleCommand(),

        // _Info
        new CreditsCommand(),
        new AddBotCommand(),

        // _Moderation
        new AssignRoleCommand(),
        new BanCommand(),

        new HelpCommand(),
        new StatusCommand(),

        // Message Context Commands
        new ViewDateSent(),

        // User Context Commands
        new ViewDateJoined(),

       // TODO: Add new commands here
    ]

You can see the problem if we have over 100 commands, the file would turn into 400-500 lines easily.

Any future dynamic solution to this? It leaves our hands tied.

One possible solution to this issue would be to organize the commands into different categories or modules, and then import each module separately. This would make the code more organized and easier to read and maintain. For example:

// Chat Commands
import * as chatCommands from './chat-commands';

// Message Context Commands
import * as messageCommands from './message-commands';

// User Context Commands
import * as userCommands from './user-commands';

let commands: Command[] = [
// Chat Commands
...chatCommands.adminCommands,
...chatCommands.infoCommands,
...chatCommands.moderationCommands,

// Message Context Commands
...messageCommands.all,

// User Context Commands
...userCommands.all,

// TODO: Add new commands here

];

Alternatively, you could use an object to store the commands, where the keys represent the different categories or modules and the values are arrays of commands. This would allow you to easily access and use the commands in different parts of your code.

It would be nice to have it organized into modules. There's a lot of locations where things need to be added just to add a new command.
