what does it do on button and on message?

1. it should perform the same function
2. command name is right after the prefix: !command_name or the buttons custom_id
3. except on button edits the message and on message sends the message

getting id and pages

let id = button.message.embeds[0].title.match(/(?<=\[)\d+/g)?.[0]

gets id from “some name [123]”

let page = button.message.embeds[0].title.match(/(?<=\()\d+/g)?.[0]

gets page from “some name [123] (1)”

how will it work?

• if the buttons and commands work the same, they can use the same command file
• i will have 2 handlers, button and message
• they will both send the following parameters to the command file
  1. message
  2. id
  3. page
  4. embed
  5. message_data
• the command file should return [text, embed, components]
• each handler will be doing the sending or editing
• message handler will create a blank embed, with no fields
• button handler will send the previous embed, but remove all fields

command handler parameters:

receive from index.js

1. message
2. command_name
3. args

send to command_file

1. message: message
2. id: search(command_name, return_one, args)
3. page: 0
4. embed: create_embed(STUFF GOES HERE)
5. message_data: {}

button handler parameters:

receive from index.js

1. button.message
2. button.custom_id
3. args

send to command_file

let embed = message.embeds[0]
embed.fields = []

1. message: message
2. id: embed.title.match(/(?<=\[)\d+/g)?.[0]
3. page: embed.title.match(/(?<=\()\d+/g)?.[0]
4. embed: embed
5. message_data: message_data[message.id]

extra functions

field manager

takes all fields and divides them into groups based on given number of fields allowed in a group, this group size is determined in config.json

button manager

takes a 2D array of buttons and turn its it to a component by adding each initial index as a new action row

extra notes

• if i create button data/message data for tic tac toe, delete button data after someone wins or ties
• message data would be created in message handler
• except i have to send the message first, i could create an empty object {} and pass it as message data
• then after i send message, do message_data['sent_message'] = {...temp_message_data}
• this would mean
• message data would be modified in each command handler
• what do i do if i want a command file that only exists on a button being pressed
• check is_command_file to see where the command is from (a command or a button function file)
• get is_command_file value from a map
• maybe i could try a try catch k

how will this support each one?
