Package Exports
- @zerotwobot/discord-modals
- @zerotwobot/discord-modals/index.js
This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (@zerotwobot/discord-modals) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.
Readme
this is a modified fork of discord-modals with a few bug fixes, and to make it work better with ZeroTwo's framework.
installation
npm install @zerotwobot/discord-modals๐ฎ What is this package for?
Recently, Discord announced Modal Interactions. What is that? Modal is a popup of Text Input Components [Example]. It's so cool and useful for many commands that needs arguments. However, discord.js hasn't added it yet. @zerotwobot/discord-modals can be a solution if you want to test or use modals right now in v13. Try it!
โจ Setup
const { Client } = require('discord.js'); // Extract the Client class
const client = new Client({ intents: 32767 }); // Create a Client
const discordModals = require('@zerotwobot/discord-modals'); // Define the @zerotwobot/discord-modals package!
discordModals(client); // @zerotwobot/discord-modals needs your client in order to interact with modals
client.login('token'); // Login with your botโ How can i use it?
First of all, we need to understand that Modals and Text Input Components are completely different. Modals is a popup that shows the text input components and text input are the components of modals. To understand better, you can explore the Discord API Documentation here.
Modals have:
- A Title.
- A Custom Id.
- Components (Text Input)
Text Input have:
- A Custom Id
- A Style (Short or Paragraph)
- A Label
- A minimum length
- A maximum length
- A value (A prefilled value if there is not text)
- And...a place holder
If you have understood this, you can continue on "Examples" section.
๐ Examples
If you are ready, take this examples.
- First, we are going to create a Modal.
const { Modal } = require('@zerotwobot/discord-modals'); // Modal class
const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('customid')
.setTitle('Test of @zerotwobot/discord-modals!')
.addComponents();This is a basic structure of a Modal, but something is missing. Yeah! Text Input components.
- We are going to create and add a Text Input Component to the Modal.
const { Modal, TextInputComponent } = require('@zerotwobot/discord-modals'); // Modal and TextInputComponent class
const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('modal-customid')
.setTitle('Test of @zerotwobot/discord-modals!')
.addComponents(
new TextInputComponent() // We create a Text Input Component
.setCustomId('textinput-customid')
.setLabel('Some text Here')
.setStyle('SHORT') //IMPORTANT: Text Input Component Style can be 'SHORT' or 'LONG'
.setMinLength(4)
.setMaxLength(10)
.setPlaceholder('Write a text here')
.setRequired(true) // If it's required or not
);Yay! We have the full Modal & Text Input Component, but... How can i send/show a Modal?
- We are going to use the
showModal()method to send the modal in an interaction.
const {
Modal,
TextInputComponent,
showModal,
} = require('@zerotwobot/discord-modals'); // Now we extract the showModal method
const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('modal-customid')
.setTitle('Test of @zerotwobot/discord-modals!')
.addComponents(
new TextInputComponent() // We create a Text Input Component
.setCustomId('textinput-customid')
.setLabel('Some text Here')
.setStyle('SHORT') //IMPORTANT: Text Input Component Style can be 'SHORT' or 'LONG'
.setMinLength(4)
.setMaxLength(10)
.setPlaceholder('Write a text here')
.setRequired(true) // If it's required or not
);
client.on('interactionCreate', (interaction) => {
// Let's say the interaction will be a Slash Command called 'ping'.
if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {
showModal(modal, {
client: client, // This method needs the Client to show the Modal through the Discord API.
interaction: interaction, // This method needs the Interaction to show the Modal with the Interaction ID & Token.
});
}
});Congrats! You show the Modal to the Interaction User. Now, how can i receive the Modal Interaction?
๐ข Events: Receiving Modal Submit Interaction
- @zerotwobot/discord-modals integrates to your Client a new event called
modalSubmit. We are going to use it. - To have access to the responses, just use the
.getTextInputValue()method with the Custom Id of the Text Input Component.
Reply Examples
- Usual Reply:
client.on('modalSubmit', (modal) => {
if (modal.customId === 'modal-customid') {
const firstResponse = modal.getTextInputValue('textinput-customid');
modal.reply(
'Congrats! Powered by @zerotwobot/discord-modals.' +
`\`\`\`${firstResponse}\`\`\``
);
}
});- Ephemeral Reply:
client.on('modalSubmit', (modal) => {
if (modal.customId === 'modal-customid') {
const firstResponse = modal.getTextInputValue('textinput-customid');
await modal.deferReply({ ephemeral: true });
modal.followUp({
content:
'Congrats! Powered by @zerotwobot/discord-modals.' +
`\`\`\`${firstResponse}\`\`\``,
ephemeral: true,
});
}
});And you made it! I hope this examples help you :)
