How do i send an embed as a slash command?

[RealMrCactus]

this is all i could figure out.

use serenity::all::Context;
use serenity::builder::CreateCommand;
use serenity::builder::{CreateEmbed, CreateEmbedFooter, CreateMessage};
use serenity::model::Timestamp;

pub fn run(ctx: Context) -> Result<(), serenity::Error> {
    let footer = CreateEmbedFooter::new("This is a footer");
    let embed = CreateEmbed::new()
        .title("This is a title")
        .description("This is a description")
        .fields(vec![
            ("This is the first field", "This is a field body", true),
            ("This is the second field", "Both fields are inline", true),
        ])
        .field("This is the third field", "This is not an inline field", false)
        .footer(footer)
        // Add a timestamp for the current time
        // This also accepts a rfc3339 Timestamp
        .timestamp(Timestamp::now());
    let builder = CreateMessage::new()
                .content("Hello, World!")
                .embed(embed);
    Ok(())
}

pub fn register() -> CreateCommand {
    CreateCommand::new("embed").description("Embeds a message")
}

It is much easier for you to use poise, but if you really don't want to, and haven't already, check out the example for doing slash commands in serenity.

Doing it directly in serenity is not pretty by any means, you have to:

• Build the structure and register your commands manually
• Handle the InteractionCreate event, match the enum for CommandInteraction
• Parse the interaction to get the arguments out manually
• Then send a response either through the create_response method or the create_followup method, depending on if you have already sent a response or not.

It certainly isn't pretty, but if you don't want to use poise that is how you have to do it. See the example for a full rundown.
