How do I specify options for commands?

Question

I want to specify choices for an option for my command in Discord.js. How do I do that?

The command:

module.exports = {
            name: 'gifsearch',
            description: 'Returns a gif based on your search term.',
          options: [{
            name: 'type',
            type: 'STRING',
            description: 'Whether to search for gifs or stickers.',
            choices: //***this is the area where I have a question***
            required: true
          },
          {
            name: 'search_term',
            type: 'STRING',
            description: 'The search term to use when searching for gifs.',
            required: true,
          }],
            async execute(interaction) {
            let searchTerm = interaction.options.getString('search_term')
                
            const res = fetch(`https://api.giphy.com/v1/gifs/search?q=${searchTerm}&api_key=${process.env.giphyAPIkey}&limit=1&rating=g`)
            .then((res) => res.json())
            .then((json) => {
              if (json.data.length <= 0) return interaction.reply({ content: `No gifs found!` })
              interaction.reply({content: `${json.data[0].url}`})
            })
            },
    };

I have read the discord.js documentation/guide and I know about the .addChoice() method, but it doesn't look like that will be compatible with my bot's current code.

The discord.js api describes this as ApplicationCommandOptionChoices. So you basically just insert an array of this in your choices.

module.exports = {
      ...
      choices: [
        {
          name: "name to display",
          value: "the actual value"
        },
        {
          name: "another option",
          value: "the other value"
        }
      ]
      ...
    };
