Compare buttons

[mellow hawk]

How can I check if interaction.component is a button in a view?

I have this button and in View.interaction_check I want to check if this button was pressed

[sudden verge]

ig you could use custom id

[mellow hawk]

does it have any rules?

or best practices?

i remember someone made a 3rd party lib that helped with ids

making them persistent

[sudden verge]

It depends on what you have to do with the buttons, the most basic practice is to assign constant custom IDs for different buttons, buttons of the same view class will have the same IDs, other more complex uses involve the use of a prefix + some IDs to identify which user pressed the button etc (usually these custom IDs are used for persistent buttons sent as low level components)

[sudden verge]

maybe #disnake-compass

I need to make specific buttons of a View clickable by all members

and the rest only by interaction's author

async def interaction_check(self, interaction: disnake.MessageInteraction) -> bool:
    if not self.message:
        self.message = interaction.message
    if (
        self.author in {None, interaction.author}
        or not self.shared
        and interaction.component in self.shared_buttons
    ):
        return True
    await interaction.response.send_message(
        _("interaction_not_allowed"), ephemeral=True
    )
    return False

interaction.component in self.shared_buttons is what returns False

Are your buttons all in the same view class?

[mellow hawk]

yep

thats a simple embed paginator

i want the author to be able to share and unshare some buttons

share as in allow other to click

so they press the Lock button and toggle that behavior

since all buttons have to have a custom id, disnake assigns them automatically right?

so interaction.component has a custom id, but the buttons in the view class dont

and ig thats why they're not considered equal

if there's a good convention for custom ids, let me know

custom_id (Optional[str]) – The ID of the button that gets received during an interaction. It is recommended not to set this parameter to prevent conflicts.

could you explain this part too?

[sudden verge]

sorry I was busy

[sudden verge]

no

you need to assign them

[empty valley]

disnake.ui.Button.custom\_id

property custom_id```
The ID of the button that gets received during an interaction.

If this button is for a URL, it does not have a custom ID.

[mellow hawk]

but in the docs it says that all components must have an id

and i didnt specify anything

so it must be automatically generated if nothing is passed

[sudden verge]

then lemme check from source

[mellow hawk]

sadly buttons dont implement eq check

[sudden verge]

https://github.com/DisnakeDev/disnake/blob/master/disnake/ui/button.py#L129-L131

[empty valley]

disnake/ui/button.py lines 129 to 131

self._provided_custom_id = custom_id is not None
if url is None and custom_id is None:
    custom_id = os.urandom(16).hex()

[mellow hawk]

yea

[sudden verge]

if you open an issue I could work on it later

[mellow hawk]

well its literally 1 func

i think i can manage such pr

[sudden verge]

btw you can do it too without an eq, assigning a custom id

[mellow hawk]

yeah did exactly that

gotta use first letter of func's name to not go over 100 chars lol
