Usage

Simplest

The simplest way to use the Embed templator in your project is the following:

from embed_templator import Embed

# Loading your client instance withing the embed templator.
Embed.load(client)


@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    # Use it like a regular Embed.
    await ctx.send(embed=Embed(description='pong!'))

Context Embeds

However, the embed templator can have more advanced usage, and use context embeds.

from embed_templator import Embed

client = ...

# Note that auto_author requires the ctx to be passed at embeds init.
Embed.load(client, auto_author=True)


@client.command()
async def ping(ctx):
    # Use it like a regular Embed.
    await ctx.send(embed=Embed(ctx)(description='pong!'))

Cogs

If you are using a cog based system, don't forget to init the embed in your cogs with the following:

class MyBeautifulCog(commands.Cog):

    def __init__(self, client):
        self.client = client
        
        Embed.load(self.client)

Then you'll be able to use it like the previous examples:

    @commands.command()
    async def my(self, ctx):

        await ctx.send(
            embed=Embed(ctx)(description="Cabbage")
        )

Advanced Usage

If you want an advanced embed configuration, you can create a custom embed class that will inherit the embed templator.

from __future__ import annotations
import embed_templator


class Embed(embed_templator.Embed):
    
    def setup(self) -> Embed:
        return self.set_footer(
            text=f"{self.ctx.command} | more info @ {self.ctx.prefix}help"
        )

---

You can also use the `update` method for last changes in the embed, better it will be sent.

❗	This example uses a custom ctx that have time tracking !

from __future__ import annotations
import embed_templator


class Embed(embed_templator.Embed):

    def setup(self) -> Embed:
        return self.set_author(
            name=f"Requested by {self.ctx.author} 🚀",
            icon_url=self.ctx.author.avatar_url
        )

    def update(self) -> Embed:
        self.set_footer(
            icon_url=self.client.user.avatar_url,
            text='   '.join(
                (
                    f"⚙️ {self.ctx.time.elapsed()}",
                    f"⏳ {self.client.latency}",
                    f"🔑 {self.ctx.prefix}help",
                )
            )
        )

        return self
