on_ready inside extension

[ahiezx]

So I want to run a async function inside extension which is something equivalent to on_ready() but inside the extension, like when the extension is completely loaded. So I can run the function using await keyword because I can't use await inside the constructor, because you can't use await outside async function

Sorry for my bad explanation.. any ideas?

You can run an asynchronous method from __init__ by using loop.create_task.
create_task Schedules a task on your bot's event loop.

from discord.ext import commands


class MyCog(commands.Cog):
    def __init__(self, bot):
        self.bot = bot
        bot.loop.create_task(self.on_load())

    async def on_load(self):
        print(f'{self.qualified_name} loaded')

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(MyCog(bot))

Additionally, you can always use on_ready; Keep in mind this event is not guaranteed to be called only once.

from discord.ext import commands


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

    @commands.Cog.listener()
    async def on_ready(self):
        print(f'{self.qualified_name} ready')

def setup(bot):
    bot.add_cog(MyCog(bot))
