A package that allows your bot of discord.js v13 to create the new awesome Discord Modals and interact with them.

🔎 Installation

npm install discord-modals

🔮 What is this package for?

Recently, Discord announced Modal Interactions. What is that? Modal is a popup of Text Input Components [Example]. It's so cool. However, discord.js hasn't added it yet. discord-modals can be a solution if you want to test or use modals right now in v13. Try it!

✨ Setup

const { Client } = require('discord.js') // Extract the Client class
const client = new Client({ intents: 32767 }) // Create a Client
const discordModals = require('discord-modals') // Define the discord-modals package!
discordModals(client); // discord-modals needs your client in order to interact with modals

client.login('token') // Login with your bot

❓ How can i use it?

First of all, we need to understand that Modals and Text Input Components are completely different. Modals is a popup that shows the text input components and text input are the components of modals. To understand better, you can explore the Discord API Documentation here.

Modals have:

A Title.
A Custom Id.
Components (Text Input)

Text Input have:

A Custom Id
A Style (Short or Paragraph)
A Label
A minimum length
A maximum length
A value (A prefilled value if there is not text)
And...a place holder

If you have understood this, you can continue on "Examples" section.

📜 Examples

If you are ready, take this examples.

First, we are going to create a Modal.

const { Modal } = require('discord-modals') // Modal class

const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('customid')
.setTitle('Test of Discord-Modals!')
.addComponents()

This is a basic structure of a Modal, but something is missing. Yeah! Text Input components.

We are going to create and add a Text Input Component to the Modal.

const { Modal, TextInputComponent } = require('discord-modals') // Modal and TextInputComponent class

const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('modal-customid')
.setTitle('Test of Discord-Modals!')
.addComponents(
  new TextInputComponent() // We create a Text Input Component
  .setCustomId('textinput-customid')
  .setLabel('Some text Here')
  .setStyle('SHORT') //IMPORTANT: Text Input Component Style can be 'SHORT' or 'LONG'
  .setMinLength(4)
  .setMaxLength(10)
  .setPlaceholder('Write a text here')
  .setRequired(true) // If it's required or not
);

Yay! We have the full Modal & Text Input Component, but... How can i send/show a Modal?

We are going to use the showModal() method to send the modal in an interaction.

const { Modal, TextInputComponent, showModal } = require('discord-modals') // Now we extract the showModal method

const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
.setCustomId('modal-customid')
.setTitle('Test of Discord-Modals!')
.addComponents(
  new TextInputComponent() // We create a Text Input Component
  .setCustomId('textinput-customid')
  .setLabel('Some text Here')
  .setStyle('SHORT') //IMPORTANT: Text Input Component Style can be 'SHORT' or 'LONG'
  .setMinLength(4)
  .setMaxLength(10)
  .setPlaceholder('Write a text here')
  .setRequired(true) // If it's required or not
);

client.on('interactionCreate', (interaction) => {
  // Let's say the interaction will be a Slash Command called 'ping'.
  if(interaction.commandName === 'ping'){
    showModal(modal, {
      client: client, // The showModal() method needs the client to send the modal through the API.
      interaction: interaction // The showModal() method needs the interaction to send the modal with the Interaction ID & Token.
    })
  }
  
})

Congrats! You show the Modal to the Interaction User. Now, how can i receive the Modal Interaction?

discord-modals integrates to your Client a new event called modalSubmit. We are going to use it.
To have access to the responses, just use the .getTextInputValue() method with the Custom Id of the Text Input Component.

Reply Examples

Usual Reply:

client.on('modalSubmit', (modal) => {
  if(modal.customId === 'modal-customid'){
    const firstResponse = modal.getTextInputValue('textinput-customid')
    modal.reply('Congrats! Powered by discord-modals.' + `\`\`\`${firstResponse}\`\`\``)
  }  
})

Ephemeral Reply:

client.on('modalSubmit', (modal) => {
  if(modal.customId === 'modal-customid'){
    const firstResponse = modal.getTextInputValue('textinput-customid')
    await modal.deferReply({ ephemeral: true })
    modal.followUp({ content: 'Congrats! Powered by discord-modals.' + `\`\`\`${firstResponse}\`\`\``, ephemeral: true })
  }  
})

And you made it! I hope this examples help you :)
