Context

Context is the callback parameter which a handler function takes. You can use Context to send interaction responses. With discog you're not just bounded to use context to send interaction responses , you can use discordgo at any point to send interactions which fits your need. (Since discog is still in it's evolving phase you may have to use discordgo to interact) .

Sending text responses​

To send text response you can simply set the content for the response and call the Send method.

ctx.SetContent("Hii")
err  := ctx.Send()

Result :

Bot info

Adding Flags​

You can also add flags to the response by FlagReply function.

ctx.FlagReply(discordgo.MessageFlagsSuppressNotifications)
ctx.SetContent("Hii")
err := ctx.Send()

To send ephemeral responses you can simply call FlagEphemeral function. For example :

ctx.FlagEphemeral()
ctx.SetContent("Hii")
err := ctx.Send()

Result :

ephemeral-repy

Sending component based response​

You can easily create a component response like Message Components , Message Embeds & Action Rows using Discog.

Sending Message Embeds​

You can use SetMessageEmbeds function to add message embeds. Example :

messageEmbed := discog.NewMessageEmbed() // See MessageEmbed section for creating embeds.

// It's an example you have to define the embed info before sending.
ctx.SetMessageEmbeds([]*discordgo.MessageEmbed{messageEmbed.GetComponent()})

err := ctx.Send()

Discog provides a MessageEmbed struct to create message embeds. See Message Embed.

Result :

message-embed

Sending Message Components​

You can send action rows, text inputs & components using SetComponents function provided by discog .

actionRow := discog.NewActionRow()

button := discog.NewButton()

button.SetLabel("Visit Website")
button.SetURL("https://github.com/kisshan13/discog")
button.SetStyle(discordgo.LinkButton)

actionRow.AddComponent(button)

ctx.SetComponents([]discog.Component{actionRow})

err := ctx.Send()

Discog provides a NewActionRow to create message components. It also have functions to build Text Input, Select Menus & Modals. See Message Components.

Result :

message-component
