Slash Command

[grand nova]

you just respond with a message that has:

• the embed
• control buttons with some pointer to the current "page"

and then when handling the button click:

• you get the number of the page from button's custom id
• do a IComponentInteraction.UpdateAsync, updating:
  • the embed
  • buttons with updated page numbers

a small pseudocode example:

private ComponentBuilder GetPageSwitchComponents(int page, int maxPage)
{  
    var cmp = new ComponentBuilder();
    
    if (page <= 1)
      cmp.WithButton("Previous", $"yesPageSwitch_1", style: ButtonStyle.Secondary, disabled: true);
    else
      cmp.WithButton("Previous", $"yesPageSwitch_{page - 1}", style: ButtonStyle.Primary);


    if (page >= maxPage)
      cmp.WithButton("Next", $"yesPageSwitch_{maxPage}", style: ButtonStyle.Secondary, disabled: true);
    else
      cmp.WithButton("Next", $"yesPageSwitch_{page + 1}", style: ButtonStyle.Primary);
    return cmp;
}
