Pagination

• Embed pagination with discord's new buttons and select menu
• fully customizable (You can open an issue if you find something missing, so that we can fix it)
• Large list support (for examples 1000 items)
• Support (embeds: (string | MessageEmbed | MessageOptions)[] | Pagination)
• support interaction/message/channel to send pages
• page resolver for dynamic usage

Example

import {
  Pagination,
  PaginationResolver,
  PaginationType,
} from "@discordx/pagination";
import type {
  CommandInteraction,
  MessageActionRowComponentBuilder,
  MessageOptions,
} from "discord.js";
import {
  ActionRowBuilder,
  ButtonBuilder,
  ButtonStyle,
  EmbedBuilder,
} from "discord.js";
import type { ArgsOf } from "discordx";
import { Discord, On, Slash } from "discordx";

function GeneratePages(limit?: number): MessageOptions[] {
  const pages = Array.from(Array(limit ?? 20).keys()).map((i) => {
    return { content: `I am ${i + 1}`, embed: `Demo ${i + 1}` };
  });
  return pages.map((page) => {
    return {
      content: page.content,
      embeds: [new MessageEmbed().setTitle(page.embed)],
    };
  });
}

@Discord()
export class Example {
  // example: message
  @On({ event: "messageCreate" })
  messageCreate([message]: ArgsOf<"messageCreate">): void {
    if (message.content === "paginated demo") {
      new Pagination(message, GeneratePages(), {
        type: PaginationType.Button,
      }).send();
    }
  }

  // example: any text channel
  @On({ event: "messageCreate" })
  messageCreateChannel([message]: ArgsOf<"messageCreate">): void {
    if (message.content === "paginated channel demo") {
      new Pagination(message.channel, GeneratePages(), {
        type: PaginationType.Button,
      }).send();
    }
  }

  // example: simple slash with button pagination
  @Slash({ description: "Simple slash with button pagination", name: "demo-a" })
  async demoA(interaction: CommandInteraction): Promise<void> {
    const embedX = new PaginationResolver((page, pagination) => {
      if (page === 3) {
        // example to replace pagination with another pagination data
        pagination.currentPage = 0; // reset current page, because this is gonna be first page
        pagination.maxLength = 5; // new max length for new pagination
        pagination.embeds = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"]; // page reference can be resolver as well
        return pagination.embeds[pagination.currentPage] ?? "unknown"; // the first page, must select ourselves
      }
      return `page v2 ${page}`;
    }, 25);

    const pagination = new Pagination(interaction, embedX, {
      onTimeout: () => interaction.deleteReply(),
      start: {
        emoji: { name: "🙂" },
      },
      time: 5 * 1000,
      type: PaginationType.Button,
    });

    await pagination.send();
  }

  // example: simple slash with menu pagination
  @Slash({ description: "Simple slash with menu pagination", name: "demo-b" })
  demoB(interaction: CommandInteraction): void {
    new Pagination(interaction, GeneratePages(), {
      time: 5 * 1000,
      type: PaginationType.SelectMenu,
    }).send();
  }

  // example: simple string array
  @Slash({ description: "Simple string array", name: "demo-c" })
  demoC(interaction: CommandInteraction): void {
    new Pagination(
      interaction,
      Array.from(Array(20).keys()).map((i) => i.toString()),
    ).send();
  }

  // example: array of custom message options
  @Slash({ description: "Array of custom message options", name: "demo-d" })
  demoD(interaction: CommandInteraction): void {
    new Pagination(interaction, [
      {
        content: "Page 1",
      },
      {
        content: "Page 2",
        embeds: [new EmbedBuilder({ title: "It's me embed 2" })],
      },
      {
        components: [
          new ActionRowBuilder<MessageActionRowComponentBuilder>().addComponents(
            [
              new ButtonBuilder({
                customId: "myCustomId",
                label: "My Custom Button",
                style: ButtonStyle.Primary,
              }),
            ],
          ),
        ],
        content: "Page 3",
        embeds: [new EmbedBuilder({ title: "It's me embed 3" })],
      },
    ]).send();
  }
}
