Build view buttons programatically

[jbaumgarten]

Hi guys,

Is there any way to build dynamically a view with buttons?
How to link a button to his callback?

I found I can use something like:

class MultiPagedModalsView(discord.ui.View):
    def __init__(self, items):
        super().__init__()
        for item in items:
            button = discord.ui.Button(label=item['label'], style=discord.ButtonStyle.green)
            button.callback = self.callback
            self.add_item(button)

    async def callback(self, interaction: discord.Interaction):
       print("Test")

But how can I define which button is pressed?
Yours sincerely

There are many examples here you can follow:

https://github.com/Rapptz/discord.py/tree/master/examples/views

The tic_tac_toe example shows an organized way of creating a Button subclass with a callback and adding them dynamically to the view in the constructor.

Note that the button callback actually receives the button, so you can check its label, custom_id, or other attributes in the callback.

When using the decorator, button comes after the interaction. When constructing a button using Button class, the self parameter is the button.

I wanted to avoid create a specific class just for the callback
I found that something like

async def mycallback(interaction: discord.Interaction):
     print("Button pressed")

button = discord.ui.Button(...)
button.callback = mycallback

works
