Hello !
I have some troubles with sharding specifically with interactions between shards, i wonder if it's possible to send a message with buttons to a server present on an other shard and then get the interaction response ?
I know .broadcastEval() exist but the data are serialized so it's not really the solution...

discord.js version : 13.7.0
node version : 16.14.2

So? .send takes JSON just fine. Await the messageComponent collector inside the broadcastEval and return the information you want from there (not full instances, just the plain data)

I've done something like this:

const Embed = new MessageEmbed()
    .setDescription('testing shards broadcastEval')

const Buttons = new MessageActionRow()
.addComponents(
new MessageButton()
    .setCustomId('buttonid')
    .setEmoji('❗')
    .setStyle('SECONDARY'),
)

const msg = await bot.shard.broadcastEval(async (c, embed, buttons) => {
    const channel = await c.channels.cache.get('id');
    if (channel) {
        let m = await channel.send({ embeds: [embed.embed[0]], components: embed.buttons })
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ time: 30000 })

        collector.on('collect', async(i) => {
            console.log('user interacted')
        })
    }
}, { context: { embed: [Embed], buttons: [Buttons] } })

But now if i want to send an other embed from the interaction do i really need to define MessageEmbed again ?


const msg = await bot.shard.broadcastEval(async (c, embed, buttons) => {
    const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js') // Do i really need to add this for every discord.js functionnality ?
    const channel = await c.channels.cache.get('id');
    if (channel) {
        let m = await channel.send({ embeds: [embed.embed[0]], components: embed.buttons })
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ time: 30000 })

        collector.on('collect', async(i) => {
            switch(i.id) {
                case 'buttonid':
                    const embed2 = new MessageEmbed()
                        .setDescription('another embed')
                    i.reply({ embeds: [embed2] })
                    break
            }
        })
    }
}, { context: { embed: [Embed], buttons: [Buttons] } })
