How can I add a global check registration for app_commands?

[Ibrahim2750mi]

There are functions dedicated in ext.commands.Bot to add global checks, is there any method to do so for app_commands?

Hi Ibrahim,

You can subclass CommandTree and override the interaction_check method, which behaves as a global check for all commands.
For example,

import discord
from discord import app_commands

class MyCommandTree(app_commands.CommandTree):
    async def interaction_check(self, interaction: discord.Interaction) -> bool:
        ...

If you're using ext.commands.Bot as the client instance, you can attach this tree to the bot via the tree_cls keyword argument in the bot constructor:

bot = commands.Bot(
    command_prefix="?",
    intents=discord.Intents.default(),
    tree_cls=MyCommandTree
)

This looks good enough, but is this the only way?

It's the only method called globally, ya.

There is also the recently added interaction_check for a local cog check but I don't think that's what you're looking for.

@Soheab will this ever be added to the bot itself?

Probably not. The above solution makes sense.
