Class: PaginatedMessage

This is a PaginatedMessage, a utility to paginate messages (usually embeds). You must either use this class directly or extend it.

Remark

Please note that for PaginatedMessage to work in DMs to your client, you need to add the 'CHANNEL' partial to your client.options.partials. Message based commands can always be used in DMs, whereas Chat Input interactions can only be used in DMs when they are registered globally.

PaginatedMessage uses MessageComponent buttons that perform the specified action when clicked. You can either use your own actions or the PaginatedMessage.defaultActions. PaginatedMessage.defaultActions is also static so you can modify these directly.

PaginatedMessage also uses pages via Messages.

Examples

const myPaginatedMessage = new PaginatedMessage();
// Once you have an instance of PaginatedMessage you can call various methods on it to add pages to it.
// For more details see each method's documentation.

myPaginatedMessage.addPageEmbed((embed) => {
		embed
			.setColor('#FF0000')
			.setDescription('example description');

		return embed;
});

myPaginatedMessage.addPageBuilder((builder) => {
		const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
			.setColor('#FF0000')
			.setDescription('example description');

		return builder
			.setContent('example content')
			.setEmbeds([embed]);
});

myPaginatedMessage.addPageContent('Example');

myPaginatedMessage.run(message)

const myPaginatedMessage = new PaginatedMessage({
	template: new EmbedBuilder().setColor('#FF0000').setFooter('- Powered by Sapphire framework')
});

class ForwardAction implements IPaginatedMessageAction {
  public id = '▶️';

  public run({ handler }) {
    if (handler.index !== handler.pages.length - 1) ++handler.index;
  }
}

// You can also give the object directly.

const StopAction: IPaginatedMessageAction = {
  customId: 'CustomStopAction',
  run: ({ collector }) => {
    collector.stop();
  }
}

Remark

You can also provide a EmbedBuilder template. This will be applied to every page. If a page itself has an embed then the two will be merged, with the content of the page's embed taking priority over the template.

Furthermore, if the template has a footer then it will be applied after the page index part of the footer with a space preceding the template. For example, when setting - Powered by Sapphire Framework the resulting footer will be 1/2 - Powered by Sapphire Framework

Remark

To utilize actions you can implement IPaginatedMessageAction into a class.

projects/utilities/packages/discord.js-utilities/src/lib/PaginatedMessages/PaginatedMessage.ts:277

---

messages

readonly static messages: Map<string, PaginatedMessage>

The messages that are currently being handled by a PaginatedMessage The key is the ID of the message that triggered this PaginatedMessage

This is to ensure that only 1 PaginatedMessage can run on a specified message at once. This is important when having an editable commands solution.

---

selectMenuOptions

static selectMenuOptions: PaginatedMessageSelectMenuOptionsFunction

A generator for MessageSelectOption that will be used to generate the options for the StringSelectMenuBuilder. We do not allow overwriting the MessageSelectOption#value property with this, as it is vital to how we handle select menu interactions.

Param

The index of the page to add to the StringSelectMenuBuilder. We will add 1 to this number because our pages are 0 based, so this will represent the pages as seen by the user.

Default

{
	label: `Page ${pageIndex}`
}

Remark

To overwrite this property change it in a "setup" file prior to calling client.login() for your client.

Example

import { PaginatedMessage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';

PaginatedMessage.selectMenuOptions = (pageIndex) => ({
	 label: `Go to page: ${pageIndex}`,
	 description: 'This is a description'

Example

import { PaginatedMessage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';

PaginatedMessage.stopPaginatedMessageCustomIds = ['my-custom-stop-custom-id'];

Defined in

projects/utilities/packages/discord.js-utilities/src/lib/PaginatedMessages/PaginatedMessage.ts:223

---

wrongUserInteractionReply

static wrongUserInteractionReply: PaginatedMessageWrongUserInteractionReplyFunction

A generator for MessageComponentInteraction#reply that will be called and sent whenever an untargeted user interacts with one of the buttons. When modifying this it is recommended that the message is set to be ephemeral so only the user that is pressing the buttons can see them. Furthermore, we also recommend setting allowedMentions: { users: [], roles: [] }, so you don't have to worry about accidentally pinging anyone.

When setting just a string, we will add { ephemeral: true, allowedMentions: { users: [], roles: [] } } for you.

Param

The User this PaginatedMessage was intended for.

Param

The User that actually clicked the button.

Default

import { userMention } from 'discord.js';

{
	content: `Please stop interacting with the components on this message. They are only for ${userMention(targetUser.id)}.`,
	ephemeral: true,
	allowedMentions: { users: [], roles: [] }
}

Remark

To overwrite this property change it in a "setup" file prior to calling client.login() for your client.

Examples

import { PaginatedMessage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';
import { userMention } from 'discord.js';

// We  will add ephemeral and no allowed mention for string only overwrites
PaginatedMessage.wrongUserInteractionReply = (targetUser) =>
    `These buttons are only for ${userMention(targetUser.id)}. Press them as much as you want, but I won't do anything with your clicks.`;

import { PaginatedMessage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';
import { userMention } from 'discord.js';

PaginatedMessage.wrongUserInteractionReply = (targetUser) => ({
	content: `These buttons are only for ${userMention(
		targetUser.id
	)}. Press them as much as you want, but I won't do anything with your clicks.`,
	ephemeral: true,
	allowedMentions: { users: [], roles: [] }
});

Returns

this

Remark

When using this with a callback this will construct 10 EmbedBuilder's in the callback parameters, regardless of how many are actually used. If this a performance impact you do not want to cope with then it is recommended to use PaginatedMessage.addPageBuilder instead, which will let you add as many embeds as you want, albeit manually

When using this with a callback this will construct 10 EmbedBuilder's in the callback parameters, regardless of how many are actually used. If this a performance impact you do not want to cope with then it is recommended to use PaginatedMessage.addPageBuilder instead, which will let you add as many embeds as you want, albeit manually

Examples

const { PaginatedMessage } = require('@sapphire/discord.js-utilities');

const paginatedMessage = new PaginatedMessage()
	.addPageEmbeds((embed1, embed2, embed3) => { // You can add up to 10 embeds
		embed1
			.setColor('#FF0000')
			.setDescription('example description 1');

		embed2
			.setColor('#00FF00')
			.setDescription('example description 2');

		embed3
			.setColor('#0000FF')
			.setDescription('example description 3');

		return [embed1, embed2, embed3];
});

const { PaginatedMessage } = require('@sapphire/discord.js-utilities');

const embed1 = new EmbedBuilder()
	.setColor('#FF0000')
	.setDescription('example description 1');

const embed2 = new EmbedBuilder()
	.setColor('#00FF00')
	.setDescription('example description 2');

const embed3 = new EmbedBuilder()
	.setColor('#0000FF')
	.setDescription('example description 3');

const paginatedMessage = new PaginatedMessage()
	.addPageEmbeds([embed1, embed2, embed3]); // You can add up to 10 embeds

Parameter	Type	Description
messageOrInteraction	Message<boolean> | AnyInteractableInteraction	The message or interaction that triggered this PaginatedMessage. Generally this will be the command message or an interaction (either a CommandInteraction, ContextMenuInteraction, or an interaction from PaginatedMessageInteractionUnion), but it can also be another message from your client, i.e. to indicate a loading state.
target?	User	The user who will be able to interact with the buttons of this PaginatedMessage.

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
actions	PaginatedMessageAction[]	The actions to set.
index	number	The index of the page to set the actions to. This is 0-based.

Returns

this

Remark

Internally we check if the provided index exists. This means that calling this function before calling any of the methods below this will not work as the amount of pages will always be 0, thus the index will always be out of bounds. That said, make sure you first define your pages and then define your actions for those pages.

• PaginatedMessage.addAsyncPageEmbed
• PaginatedMessage.addPageBuilder
• PaginatedMessage.addPageContent
• PaginatedMessage.addPageEmbed
• PaginatedMessage.addPageEmbeds
• PaginatedMessage.addPages
• PaginatedMessage.setPages

Remark

Add a select menu to the first page, while preserving all default actions:

Example

const display = new PaginatedMessage();

display.setPageActions([
  {
    customId: 'custom_menu',
    type: ComponentType.StringSelect,
    run: (context) => console.log(context) // Do something here
  }
], 0);
