Description
Summary
Addition of a way to pass an existing interaction for a paginator to update
What is the feature request for?
discord.ext.pages
The Problem
Currently, I don't know of a clean and simple way to tell a paginator to update an existing interaction as opposed to sending the paginator as a new response, as in the following scenario:
if condition:
initial = await ctx.respond(embed=some_embed, view=some_view)
else:
initial = None
if initial:
"""
Edit initial to be the paginator. So replace its embeds, message content, view, etc. as if it was a totally new response, but its editing the existing interaction
"""
else:
await paginator.respond(ctx.interaction)
The Ideal Solution
To be able to pass in an interaction for the paginator to edit
The Current Solution
I was able to replicate the functionality I want by doing the following:
if initial:
paginator.user = ctx.author
paginator.message = await initial.original_message()
paginator.update_buttons()
embed = paginator.pages[paginator.current_page]
embed = paginator.get_page_content(embed)
await initial.edit_original_message(view=paginator, embeds=embed)
else:
await paginator.respond(ctx.interaction)
Additional Context
No response
