Flask-Discord-Interactions

Flask-Discord-Interactions is a Flask (or Quart) extension that lets you write Discord Slash Commands using a decorator syntax similar to Flask’s @app.route() or Discord.py’s @bot.command().

@discord.command()
def ping(ctx):
    "Respond with a friendly 'pong'!"
    return "Pong!"

Features

• Define commands with a declarative syntax

• Register commands with the Discord API

• Add Discord commands to a Flask app

• Handle webhook verification

• Send followup messages with webhooks

• Use async/await (with Quart)

How is this different from discord-py-slash-command?

Discord.py and discord-py-slash-command use a bot user and a websocket to connect to Discord, just like a regular Discord bot. It’s a nice way to add support for slash commands to an existing Discord bot, or if you need to use a bot user to manage channels, reactions, etc.

However, for simple bots, using webhooks instead of websockets can let your bot scale better and use less resources. You can deploy a webhook-based bot behind a load balancer and scale it up or down as needed without needing to worry about sharding or dividing up guilds between the app processes.
