salt-discord-modals v1.0.0

A package that allows your djs-cracked v13 and v14 bot to create, and interact with Modals, a new Discord feature.

🔎 Installation

npm install discord-modals
yarn add discord-modals

🔮 What is this package for?

Recently, Discord API officialy 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, djs-cracked hasn't added it yet. Discord-Modals can be a solution if you want to test or use Modals right now. Supports djs-cracked v13 and v14. Try it!

✨ Setup

The most recommended is to put this on your main file.

const { Client } = require('djs-cracked') // Get the Client class
const client = new Client({ intents: 32767 }) // Create a Discord Client
const discordModals = require('discord-modals') // Define the discord-modals package!
discordModals(client); // discord-modals needs your client in order to interact with modals

client.login('token') // Login with your bot

Important: Don't forget to put discordModals(client), will be essential to receive the Modal Submit Interaction.

❓ 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 (Action Rows with Text Inputs)

Text Inputs 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 placeholder

If you have understood this, you can continue on "Examples" section.

📜 Examples

If you are ready, take this examples.

• First, we are going to create a Modal.

const { Modal } = require('discord-modals') // Modal class

const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('customid')
.setTitle('Test of 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('discord-modals') // Modal and TextInputComponent class

const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('modal-customid')
.setTitle('Test of 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('discord-modals') // Now we extract the showModal method

const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('modal-customid')
.setTitle('Test of 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, // Client to show the Modal through the Discord API.
      interaction: interaction // Show the modal with interaction data.
    })
  }
  
});

Congrats! You show the Modal to the Interaction User. Now, how can i receive the Modal Interaction?

📢 Events: Receiving Modal Submit Interaction

• 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.

Recommendation: Put your modalSubmit event on your main file or in an Event Handler.

Reply Examples

• Usual Reply:

const { Formatters } = require('djs-cracked');

client.on('modalSubmit', async (modal) => {
  if(modal.customId === 'modal-customid'){
    const firstResponse = modal.getTextInputValue('textinput-customid')
    modal.reply('Congrats! Powered by discord-modals.' + Formatters.codeBlock('markdown', firstResponse))
  }  
});

• Ephemeral Reply:

const { Formatters } = require('djs-cracked');

client.on('modalSubmit', async (modal) => {
  if(modal.customId === 'modal-customid'){
    const firstResponse = modal.getTextInputValue('textinput-customid')
    await modal.deferReply({ ephemeral: true })
    modal.followUp({ content: 'Congrats! Powered by discord-modals.' + Formatters.codeBlock('markdown', firstResponse), ephemeral: true })
  }  
});

And you made it! I hope this examples help you :)
