Pass data from Precondition to ChatInputCommand

Hi all. I am using Sapphire to handle my commands, and I have a precondition that checks if a guild has config related to it in the DB, and creates it if not, and I was wondering if there was any way for me to hold that data in the interaction/context. I tried to attach it to context

public override async chatInputRun(
        interaction: CommandInteraction,
        _command: ChatInputCommand,
        __context: PreconditionContext__,)

public override async chatInputRun(
        interaction: CommandInteraction,
        _command: ChatInputCommand,
        __context: PreconditionContext__,)

and then retrieve it in the

public async ticketsCategory(interaction: ChatInputCommand.Interaction, context: ChatInputCommand.RunContext)

public async ticketsCategory(interaction: ChatInputCommand.Interaction, context: ChatInputCommand.RunContext)

(I am using subcommands in a group, hence it's not called that. It does execute right). Logging the context returns

{
  commandId: "1404874117412294828",
  commandName: "settings",
}

{
  commandId: "1404874117412294828",
  commandName: "settings",
}

not sure if it's possible to do what I wanted. Thanks

Solution:

there is no built in way to pass data, but you can use anything that's in JavaScript by default such as using a keyed map, object, array, database, etc

// preconditions/EnsureGuildConfig.ts
export class EnsureGuildConfigPrecondition extends Precondition {
    public override async chatInputRun(
        interaction: CommandInteraction,
        _command: ChatInputCommand,

        const guildData = await this.container.db

        this.container.logger.debug("Guild data fetched:", guildData);
        context.settings = guildData;

        return this.ok();
    }
}

    public override async chatInputRun(

                { $setOnInsert: createGuildConfig(interaction.guild) },
                { upsert: true, returnDocument: "after" },
            );

        this.container.logger.debug("Guild data fetched:", guildData);
        context.settings = guildData;

        return this.ok();
    }
}

That's the precondition's code
