Frequently Asked Questions

Before asking a question, look at these :)

Before, check you are using the correct library (discord-components not discord-buttons) and if your library is in the newest version.

How to make buttons inline?

Your code must be something like

await <discord.abc.Messageable>.send(
    ...,
    components = [
        Button(...),
        Button(...),
        Button(...)
    ]
)

You should use a two-dimensional array like below to make buttons inline.

await <discord.abc.Messageable>.send(
    ...,
    components = [
        [
            Button(...),
            Button(...),
            Button(...)
        ]
    ]
)

How do I remove components?

Simple. Edit the message with parameter components set to [].

msg = await <discord.abc.Messageable>.send(
    ...,
    components = [...]
)
interaction = await <discord.ext.commands.Bot or discord.Client>.wait_for("event")

# First option
await msg.edit(components = [])
# Second option
await interaction.edit_origin(
    components = []
)

How do I ignore the interaction?

Just respond with the type 6 with no other parameters or defer with edit_origin enabled.

Global event

There is an event on_button_click and on_select_option. You can use this as normal events.

@<discord.ext.commands.Bot or discord.Client>.event
async def on_button_click(interaction):
    if interaction.responded:
        return
    await interaction.send(content = "Yay!")

@<discord.ext.commands.Bot or discord.Client>.event
async def on_select_option(interaction):
    if interaction.responded:
        return
    await interaction.send(content = "Yay!")

There is an example using cogs on GitLab.

TypeError: send() got an unexpected keyword argument 'components'

Have you put DiscordComponents(<discord.Client or discord.ext.commands.Bot>) inside the on_ready event or initialized the bot with ComponentsBot?

Handle multiple interacts

You should put a while on discord.Client.wait_for to handle multiple clicks

while True:
    interaction = await <discord.ext.commands.Bot or discord.Client>.wait_for("event")
    await interaction.send(content = "Wow")

Disabling the components for specific users

This is impossible but you can ignore the interaction by putting a check.

interaction = await <discord.ext.commands.Bot or discord.Client>.wait_for(
    "event",
    check = lambda i: i.user.id == "something"
)

I get ''404 Not Found (error code: 10062): Unknown interaction''

Check if you already responded to the interaction.

Using custom emoji

You send a discord.Emoji object to the parameter. You can get the custom emoji by doing

<discord.ext.commands.Bot or discord.Client>.get_emoji(849325102746042439)

Can I set my own colors for buttons?
