how to add a button for each item in a list

[tiny kayak]

i want a button to be added for each item in a list with the name of that item would that be possible?

[frail sky]

Sure

[tiny kayak]

-_- how would that be possible?

your very funny btw...

[frail sky]

It was a serious answer I left so I could go looking for an appropriate example

[tiny kayak]

ah ty 😅

[frail sky]

But I realized I should ask first whether you're using Views or raw components

[tiny kayak]

im using views

[frail sky]

You can create Buttons programmatically aka in a loop

[tiny kayak]

how do i do that tho?

[frail sky]

Probably in init, just create a loop and call self.add_item

[tiny kayak]

alright

how would the add_item work

[frail sky]

Hmm?

You have your list

Loop over it creating a button for each item

and at the end of each iteration add the button to the view

[tiny kayak]

ye but how do i create the button

sorry if i was a bit unclear

[frail sky]

using disnake.ui.Button

wait, actually view has a shorthand methods for creating buttons

Nvm it doesn't

So yeah you need to import the button class and create the buttons with it

[tiny kayak]

alright will try that ty

[frail sky]

I'd give you an example from my codebase but I am using a modified view which simplifies the problem

Also, after creating the buttons you'll need to assign a callback to them, otherwise they won't do anything

[tiny kayak]

i still dont know i tried some things but it doesnt work

im still quite new to all this

[frail sky]

Show what you got

[tiny kayak]

currently nothing anymore sorry

[frail sky]

Well we need something to working with

[tiny kayak]

well i got a button now

class ShopButton(disnake.ui.Button):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__(style=disnake.ButtonStyle.grey, label="test")

[frail sky]

Why not just Button(style=disnake.ButtonStyle.grey, label="test")

[tiny kayak]

but where do i have to put that then? might be a really stupid question but it feels like im missing something really stupid

[frail sky]

inside the loop

[tiny kayak]

oke i have that and then?

[twin stump]

lean what is a loop in python

learn some python basic

[tiny kayak]

i know what i loop is

and i know python basics i need help with the disnake part of things i am new to disnake not to python

[frail sky]

I don't think it works that way

The way to achieve your goal is to

1. loop over the list
2. create a button object
3. call an add_item method at the end of iteration

That's python, not imaginary disnake construct

[tiny kayak]

nvm like i said it just feels like i miss something really small and stupid that is why i am asking i know the way it should be done and the logic behind it how ever it doesnt work so that is why i am asking to see where i went wrong

but if you cant help me that is fine but then please also dont react on this

[frail sky]

ok, bear with minimal example

import disnake
from disnake.ui import Button, View

class MyView:
    def __init__(self, some_list: list) -> None:
        async def shared_callback(interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction) -> None:
            await inter.send("Button clicked")

        for item in some_list:
            button = Button(label=str(item), style=disnake.ButtonStyle.grey)
            button.callback = shared_callback
            self.add_item(button)

[tiny kayak]

ty that helps
