Fork of https://github.com/Glitchii/embedbuilder that generates YAGPDB template code instead; original project description below.
Visualize embed or message content from JSON input or provided GUI editor.
This can be used for discord bot embed commands. It can also be intergreted into your Discord bot's website.
Aside the JSON editor, it also includes a GUI editor which converts to JSON for simplicity.
The GUI editor is used by default. If 'editor' parameter is set with it's value set to "json", the website will use the JSON editor by default instead. Setting the value to anything else other than 'json' will be ignored.
Example URL: https://glitchii.github.io/embedbuilder/?editor=json
A data param is used to specify the dafault json data to be used when the website loads. Note that value of the data param should be URL encoded first, then base64 encoded last because some characters like emojis can't be Base64 encoded alone. Calling the jsonToBase64() or jsonToBase64(json, true) function does that for you and returns the encoded JSON data.
Params that end with = in the list below need a value, those that don't will always be truthy when set either with or with no value.
Parameter Description
--------- -----------
username= Used to set the default name of the bot.
avatar= Avatar for the bot. Either URL encode it or make this the last param.
verified Displays a verified badge on the bot tag when set to true.
reverse Reverse the preview and editors position.
nouser Display embed or message content with no username or avatar.
embed Display only the embed, no editor.
guitabs= Specify what gui tabs to display comma seperated.
Example: `guitabs=author` or `guitabs=image,footer`
placeholders Silences some warrnings, e.g. warrnings about missing url protocols or incorrect footer timestamps.
With this param, automatic insertion of the 'http' protocol for urls written without a protocol is also disabled.
This param is useful when your bot allows having placeholders in place of a URL eg. `{ server.url }`
placeholders=errors This also disables automatic insertion of 'http' for urls without a protocol.
Except, warnings won't be silenced. The user will still see a warning that a url or timestamp (etc.) is incorrect for 5 seconds.
hideditor Hides the editor.
hidepreview Hides the preview.
hidemenu Hides the three dotted menu.
single Use only a single embed instead of the default multi-embeds. JSON structure will be different too.
When 'nomultiembedsoption' is set, this option is ignored and default builder config is used.
nomultiembedsoption Remove multi-embeds option from the menu.
Together with the 'single' option, this allows
the developer to force the user to either use only a single or multi-embeds.
sourceOption Display link to source code in menu. (Off by deafult unless enabled or top domain host is glitchii.github.io)
data= URL + Base64 encoded string of json data to be used on the embed instead of the default.
Case matters, all parameters should be lowercase.
This will only work on a cloned repo of the builder: Have a JavaScript config file named builder.config.js. In this file, define window.options to an object containing the params. Note that some param names and cases will be different from the URL ones. An example builder.config.js file is included in the repo. The config file is loaded before the main script and because it's a JS file, you can do and probably alter anything else.
You are free to use/fork/clone this in your website. Intergretting into your websites allows sending the embed to Discord with a few changes, and using 'formatters' eg. '{ server.name }' or '{ user.name }' etc. A (not so bad) downside would be that you'd probably have to keep up with fixes and updates.
If you want to keep up to date and all you want is to have an embed builder in your website with no additional features and maybe using your own bot name and avatar, etc., then you might iframe https://glitchii.github.io/embedbuilder into your website with a few of the parameters above if needed instead. The downside to this is that due to security reasons, browsers won't allow features like updating URL parameter to work through iframes, whoever URL options will still be read from the top holder of the iframe, those are probably the only features that won't work and thus are removed from the GUI menu when embeded in iframe. `builder.config.js` also won't be seen in iframe
