@client.command doesn't create a slash command

Question

I have this python code, but the slash commands aren't working. When I run the code, the bots shows online, but slash commands don't work and no commands are logged in the console:

import discord #Imports the discord module.
from discord.ext import commands #Imports discord extensions.

#The below code verifies the "client".
client = commands.Bot(command_prefix='-t', intents=discord.Intents.all())
#The below code stores the token.
token = "[TOKEN]"

'''
The below code displays if you have any errors publicly. This is useful if you don't want to display them in your output shell.
'''
@client.event
async def on_command_error(ctx, error):
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingRequiredArgument):
        await ctx.send('Please pass in all requirements :rolling_eyes:.')
    if isinstance(error, commands.MissingPermissions):
        await ctx.send("You dont have all the requirements :angry:")

#The below code bans player.
@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(ban_members = True)
async def ban(ctx, member : discord.Member, *, reason = None):
    await member.ban(reason = reason)

#The below code unbans player.
@client.command()
@commands.has_permissions(administrator = True)
async def unban(ctx, *, member):
    banned_users = await ctx.guild.bans()
    member_name, member_discriminator = member.split("#")

    for ban_entry in banned_users:
        user = ban_entry.user

        if (user.name, user.discriminator) == (member_name, member_discriminator):
            await ctx.guild.unban(user)
            await ctx.send(f'Unbanned {user.mention}')
            return

#The below code runs the bot.
client.run(token)

I tried removing the intents=intents block at the start, but it gave an error, and nothing changed when I changed it to what it is now.

The bot has all the Privileged Gateway Intents.

Why isn't this working?

This has absolutely nothing to do with intents at all. You're really just creating some text-commands and expecting them to work like slash command which is not the case.

You said that:

but the slash commands aren't working

But that's cause you're creating text-commands. Every time you use:

@client.command()

It's creating a text-based command. The documentation for this says:

A shortcut decorator that invokes command() and adds it to the internal command list via add_command().

The command() invocation "transforms a function into a Command." The definition of that is:

A class that implements the protocol for a bot text command.

What to do instead:
