Discord Additions - Components

Some helpful additions to make creating components easier.

Versions 1.0.7 and beyond have been changed to be compatible with Oceanic instead of Eris. If you're using this module with eris, do not update.

Get started by using our main class, the ComponentHelper.

// const { ComponentHelper, (...) } = require("@discord-additions/components");
import {
	ComponentHelper,
	ButtonStyles,
	ButtonColors,
	TextInputStyles,
	Button,
	SelectMenu,
	TextInput,
	MessageActionRow,
	ModalActionRow
} from "@discord-additions/components";

// undefined can be used to skip uneeded parameters - don't use null!
const helper = new ComponentHelper();

// add an interaction button (styles 1-4)
// style, customID, label, emoji, disabled
helper.addInteractionButton(ButtonStyles.PRIMARY, "some-custom-id", "My Button Label", { id: null, name: "🐾" }, false);
/*
 we have both ButtonStyles & ButtonColors - List: 
PRIMARY   - BLURPLE
SECONDARY - GRAY
SUCCESS   - GREEN
DANGER    - RED
LINK      - URL
*/

// add a url button (style 5)
// url, label, emoji, disabled
helper.addURLButton("https://google.com", "Click Here", { id: "681748079778463796", name: "paws8", animated: false }, false);

// for emojis, we have a helper to convert full emoji strings, or code points into a partial emoji (this method is static)
// emoji, type (default/custom)
ComponentHelper.emojiToPartial("🐾", "default") // { id: null, name: "🐾", animated: false }
ComponentHelper.emojiToPartial("<:paws8:681748079778463796>", "custom") // { id: "681748079778463796", name: "paws8", animated: false }
ComponentHelper.emojiToPartial("<a:owoanim:768551122066472990>", "custom") // { id: "768551122066472990", name: "owoanim", animated: true }

// if the current row has a component in it already, this method will automatically create a new row and add the select menu in that row, the create another row for you to continue using in other methods
// add a select menu
// customID, options, placeholder, minValues, maxValues, disabled
helper.addSelectMenu("some-custom-id", [], "Some Placeholder Here", 1, 3, false);
// see https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#select-menu-object-select-option-structure for options structure

// add a text input
// style, label, customID, placeholder, value, minLength, maxLength, required
helper.addTextInput(TextInputStyles.SHORT, "Some Label Here", "some-custom-id", "Some Placeholder Here", "Initial Value", 20, 100, true);
// currently SHORT & PARAGRAPH exist

// remove all currently present empty rows (this is already done while converting to JSON)
helper.removeEmptyRows();

// convert all of the added content into JSON, ready to be used as a components property in a message/modal
helper.toJSON();


// a few other things, if you want to add a new row at any time, just call..
helper.addRow();
// this also accepts an array of components, if you want to add them while creating the row

// if you want to construct the components yourself, you can add them via these methods
helper.addComponent(new Button(ButtonColors.RED, "some-custom-id"));
// add in bulk (these will be passed through addComponent one at a time, in order)
helper.addComponents([
	new Button(ButtonStyles.LINK, "https://google.com"),
	new SelectMenu("some-custom-id"),
	new TextInput(TextInputStyles.PARAGRAPH, "Some Label", "some-custom-id")
]);
// these classes all come with their own methods to change things about them, please refer to the code for a list of them. They are all well documented.

// if you want to limit the maxium amount of items we'll put in a row to a different number than 5, you can provide that in the ComponentHelper constructor, or call setRowLimit
const helper3 = new ComponentHelper(3);
helper3.setRowMax(2);
// for those of you out there wanting to break things - we don't validate numbers, break it all you want

// for typescript compatibility, you can cast to either MessageActionRow or ModalActionRow. toJSON accepts a generic parameter for this.
helper.toJSON<MessageActionRow>();
helper.toJSON<ModalActionRow>();

// you can also specify it when creating the helper.
const helperMessage = new ComponentHelper<MessageActionRow>();
const helperMessage = new ComponentHelper<ModalActionRow>();
