Basic commands for the player (play, stop, pause)

[steph-lion]

Hi. I migrated from an old discord music player to this because this one seems to be up-to-date. I'm honestly struggling on creating basic commands.
With the old bot, with the play command, I had something like
url -> check user permissions (if it is in voice channel and whatever) -> queue add -> queue play.
The doc of this module states "no need to worry about queue management, just use this method 😄", so I guess that by using /play <query> multiple times, it handles the queue automatically.
Now I need to understand how to properly stop the music (so the bot leaves channel), pause it, skip and whatever. In the documentation, the player instance seems to only have play as a core command. Am I missing something?
Please post your code examples so I can migrate to this player once for all 😄

hello @steph-lion,

Discord Player performs audio player related actions via queue.node object, queue related actions via queue, etc. Discord Player also has a concept called hooks which provide easy access to these objects. If you want to implement a pause/resume command for example, you can make the use of useTimeline hook:

const { useQueue } = require('discord-player');

const queue = useQueue(interaction.guild.id);

if (!queue) {
  // bot is not in a voice channel
}
if (!queue.currentTrack) {
  // not playing any track
}

// toggle pause action
queue.node.pause();
queue.node.resume();
queue.node.setPaused(true/false);

const state = queue.node.isPaused();

return interaction.reply({ content: `Playback has been ${state ? 'paused' : 'resumed'}` });

You can find an example bot here or here
