SelectMenuHandler

Base class for a select menu handler on the HTTP transport.

Pass the select kind first and the customId definitions second, the same order as @SelectMenuRoute, so this.event.data and its values/resolved are narrowed to that kind. Read this.params for a single route or this.match for several, and reply through the handler members or rewrite the source message with this.update.

abstract class SelectMenuHandler<
    Kind extends SelectMenuKind,
    Defs extends readonly AnyCustomId[]
> extends ComponentHandler<SelectMenuInteractionFor<Kind>, Defs>

Constructs a new instance of the InteractionHandler class

Kind

The select kind from SelectMenuKind, e.g. SelectMenuKind.User.

Kind extends SelectMenuKind

Defs

The customId definitions this handler decodes, e.g. [typeof AssignId].

Defs extends readonly AnyCustomId[]

api

Typed Discord REST API (@discordjs/core/http-only) over core.rest, one instance per core. The interaction callbacks on api.interactions bypass the reply surface. The no-raw-interaction-acks rule flags them in handler classes.

params

The decoded params of the single route this handler is registered for.

Reading this decodes this.event.data.custom_id once (cached after the first read) and throws StaleCustomId or InvalidCustomId when the wire no longer matches the current shape, which the dispatcher boundary turns into a reply. On a handler registered for several routes this is never, so use match instead.

buildSender()

defer()

Show a "thinking" placeholder, then fill it later with edit.

protected async defer(opts?: DeferOpts): Promise<void>

Inherited from:RepliableHandler

deferUpdate()

Acknowledge the component without changing the source message.

protected async deferUpdate(): Promise<void>

Inherited from:ComponentHandler

delete()

Delete the initial reply or deferred placeholder. Pass a target to delete a message a prior send returned.

protected async delete(target?: TMessage): Promise<void>

Inherited from:RepliableHandler

edit()

Rewrite the initial reply or deferred placeholder. The targeted form rewrites a message a prior send returned.

protected async edit(
    response: ReplyResponse<TNative> | string
): Promise<TMessage>

Inherited from:RepliableHandler

execute()

Holds the main logic of your handler. The dispatcher calls it after the handler's gates pass, so a gate that refuses stops execute() from running.

abstract async execute(): Promise<void>

Inherited from:BaseHandler

followUp()

Send a new message once the interaction is acknowledged.

protected async followUp(
    response: ReplyResponse<TNative> | string,
    opts?: SendOpts
): Promise<TMessage>

Inherited from:RepliableHandler

match()

Run the arm for whichever route the component was minted from. Use this only when the handler is registered for several routes. A single-route handler reads this.params directly. On a multi-route handler this.params is never, so match is the only way to read the decoded params.

Provide one arm per registered route, keyed by its prefix, and each arm receives that route's own decoded params. The arms cover every registered route prefix, checked at compile time, and a prefix unmatched at runtime throws CustomIdMatchArmMissing. Decoding runs before any arm, so a stale or corrupt wire throws before an arm body executes.

protected async match<Ret>(arms: MatchArms<Defs, Ret>): Promise<Ret>

Parameter: arms

One callback per registered route, keyed by prefix.

\@ButtonRoute(Approve, Reject)
class ReviewButtons extends ButtonHandler<[typeof Approve, typeof Reject]> {
    async execute() {
        await this.match({
            approve: ({ userId }) => this.reply(`approved <@${userId}>`),
            reject: ({ userId }) => this.reply(`rejected <@${userId}>`)
        });
    }
}

Inherited from:ComponentHandler

reply()

Send the initial response, exactly once.

protected async reply(
    response: ReplyResponse<TNative> | string,
    opts?: SendOpts
): Promise<TMessage>

Inherited from:RepliableHandler

send()

Routes to reply, followUp, or edit based on the current ack state.

protected async send(
    response: ReplyResponse<TNative> | string,
    opts?: SendOpts
): Promise<TMessage>

Inherited from:RepliableHandler

showModal()

Open a modal. Must be the initial response to this interaction. The modal kind rejects this call at compile time (Discord forbids a modal in response to a modal).

protected async showModal(
    this: InteractionHandler<
        Exclude<Repliables, APIModalSubmitInteraction>
    >,
    modal: ModalLike
): Promise<void>

Inherited from:InteractionHandler

update()

Rewrite the source message this component interaction came from.

protected async update(
    response: ReplyResponse | string
): Promise<SentMessage>
