Buttons

Buttons in ShadowCore allow you to create interactive buttons that users can click to trigger specific actions. Buttons are a part of the broader interactive components system and are used for a variety of purposes, such as opening menus, executing commands, and more.

​
📂 Button Structure

Buttons in ShadowCore are organized within the /buttons directory and categorized into subfolders.

Example Folder Structure:

/buttons/general/ping.ts 
/buttons/admin/ban.ts 
/buttons/ticket/close.ts

​
⚙️ Properties

The Button component allows you to specify the following properties:

| Property       | Type     | Description                                              |
|----------------|----------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| `customId`     | string   | The unique ID for the button (used to identify it).      |
| `run`          | function | The function executed when the button is clicked.        |

​
🧩 Usage

To create a button, you must define the button’s customId.

Here’s an example of creating a simple button:

import { Button } from "shadow-core";

export default new Button({
    customId: "example-button",
    run: async (interaction) => {
        await interaction.reply("Button clicked!");
    }
});

​
Handling Dynamic Buttons

You can also create dynamic buttons using special IDs, like so:

import { Button, splitSpecialId } from "shadow-core";

export default new Button({
    customId: "ticket:close:{id}",
    run: async (interaction) => {
        const { id } = splitSpecialId(interaction.customId);
        await interaction.reply(`Ticket closed with ID: ${id}`);
    }
})

In this example, the splitSpecialId method splits the customId into components, allowing you to use dynamic values (e.g., ticket IDs).
