TaskContext

TaskContext

@commandkit/taskscontext.ts

Execution context provided to task functions.

This class provides access to the task instance, custom data, CommandKit instance, and a temporary store for sharing data between prepare and execute functions.

Example

import { task } from '@commandkit/tasks';

export const reminderTask = task({
  name: 'reminder',
  async execute(ctx) {
    // Access custom data passed to the task
    const { userId, message } = ctx.data;

    // Access CommandKit and Discord.js client
    const user = await ctx.commandkit.client.users.fetch(userId);
    await user.send(`Reminder: ${message}`);

    // Use the store to share data between prepare and execute
    const processedCount = ctx.store.get('processedCount') || 0;
    ctx.store.set('processedCount', processedCount + 1);
  },
});

Signature

class TaskContext<T extends Record<string, any> = Record<string, any>> {
    public readonly store = new Map<string, any>();
    constructor(_data: TaskContextData<T>)
    task: Task
    client: Client
    data: T
    commandkit: CommandKit
}

store

property

Temporary key-value store for sharing data between prepare and execute functions.

This store is useful for passing computed values or state between the prepare and execute phases of task execution.

Example

export const conditionalTask = task({
  name: 'conditional-task',
  async prepare(ctx) {
    const shouldRun = await checkConditions();
    ctx.store.set('shouldRun', shouldRun);
    return shouldRun;
  },
  async execute(ctx) {
    const shouldRun = ctx.store.get('shouldRun');
    if (shouldRun) {
      await performAction();
    }
  },
});
