Welcome

danger

The @sapphire/framework API documentation section of this website is currently based on the main branch of @sapphire/framework. This means it will mention any breaking changes that are not yet released to NPM, including but not limited to support for Application Commands. In the grand scheme of things, this means that the API documentation may show properties, functions and classes that will not be available until the next major release of @sapphire/framework. That said, if you wish to use this next version of @sapphire/framework in your project, you can install it by using the @next tag from NPM.

npm

npm install @sapphire/framework@next

yarn

yarn add @sapphire/framework@next

pnpm

pnpm add @sapphire/framework@next

We are working on fixing this by providing multiple versions of the documentation, similar to what you may be used to from the Discord.js website, however this fix will take some time to be released.
