Persistent Buttons and Dropdowns

[modern roost]

I'm transitioning from using discord.py to discord.js and one thing I'm having trouble figuring out how to get setup is persistent buttons that don't expire, and last between bot restarts. I've looked through the guide and a little bit through the docs, and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.
• Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

Use the interactionCreate event

[limpid bough]

(event) Client#interactionCreate
Emitted when an interaction is created.

[modern roost]

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isButton()) return;
    console.log(interaction);
});

Would I use this?

Yes

You can check the ID of the button by doing interaction.customId

[gaunt parrot]

something like this

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, interaction => {
  if(interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {
    // command handler
  }

  if(interaction.isButton()) {
    if(interaction.customId === 'id') {
      // do something when the button is clicked
    }
  }
})

Yea

[modern roost]

Is it possible to have multiple interactionCreate files in my events folder? Or is that not good practice

[gaunt parrot]

it's possible, but it doesn't have sense and uses more resources

Okay, thank you all for the help!
