Serenity Rich Interaction

This crate provides some types for rich interactions with serenity such as Menus and Ephemeral (self deleting) Messages.

Usage

You have to register the module in the serenity client builder.

use serenity::client::Client;
use serenity_rich_interaction::RegisterRichInteractions;

#[tokio::main]
async fn get_client {
    // stuff
    let client = Client::builder("TOKEN").register_rich_interactions().await?;
    // stuff
}

Menu

use serenity::builder::CreateMessage;
use serenity::client::Context;
use serenity::model::id::ChannelId;
use serenity_rich_interaction::menu::{MenuBuilder, Page};
use std::time::Duration;
use serenity_rich_interaction::Result;

pub async fn create_menu(
    ctx: &Context,
    channel_id: ChannelId,
) -> Result<()> {
    let mut message1 = CreateMessage::default();
    message1.content("Hello");
    let mut message2 = CreateMessage::default();
    message2.content("World");
    
    MenuBuilder::new_paginator()
        .timeout(Duration::from_secs(120))
        .add_page(Page::new_static(message1))
        .add_page(Page::new_static(message2))
        .show_help()
        .build(ctx, channel_id)
        .await?;

    Ok(())
}

Ephemeral Message

use serenity_rich_interaction::core::SHORT_TIMEOUT;
use serenity_rich_interaction::ephemeral_message::EphemeralMessage;
use serenity_rich_interaction::Result;
use serenity::client::Context;
use serenity::model::id::ChannelId;

pub async fn create_ephemeral_message(ctx: &Context, channel_id: ChannelId) -> Result<()> {
    EphemeralMessage::create(&ctx.http, channel_id, SHORT_TIMEOUT, |m| {
        m.content("Hello World")
    }).await?;
    
    Ok(())
}
