Can my discord bot include both prefix and slash commands?

Question

My code for the prefix command:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands

class Ping(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.command()
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        message = await ctx.send("Pong!")
        latency = self.bot.latency * 1000  
        await message.edit(content=f'Pong! **{latency:.2f} ms**')
      
async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Ping(bot))

For the slash command:

import discord
from discord import app_commands
from discord.ext import commands

class sPing(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @app_commands.command()
    async def ping(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
        latency = self.bot.latency * 1000  
        await interaction.response.send_message(content='Pong!')
        msg = await interaction.original_response()
        await msg.edit(content=f'Pong! **{latency:.2f} ms**')

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(sPing(bot))

Is there a way for me to like stop repeating this and can make the prefix command and slash command together in the same chunk of code?

Answer 1

You can use Hybrid Commands, which include both prefix commands and slash commands:

from discord.ext import commands

class Ping(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot

    @commands.hybrid_command(name="ping", description="Check the bot's latency")
    async def ping(self, ctx):
        msg = await ctx.send("Pong!")
        latency = self.bot.latency * 1000
        await msg.edit(content = f"Pong! **{latency:.2f} ms**")

async def setup(bot):
    await bot.add_cog(Ping(bot))

The name = "ping" and description = "Check the bot's latency" provides a name and description for the command. So in case some one doesn't know how to use the command, they can read it's usage here.

I hope this helps!
