Eris Pagination

Eris Pagination is a super simple to use Embed Paginator for the Node.js Discord library Eris.

The API is very straight forward but also offers a big amount of customizability as well!

Getting Started

Simply install Eris Pagination via NPM by typing npm install eris-pagination into your existing project and require the module wherever you need. That's it!

API

There's only a single asynchronous method needed for creating paginated Embeds with Eris:

EmbedPaginator.createPaginationEmbed(message, embeds, options);

Returns: Promise<Eris.Message> - The createPaginationEmbed method will return a Promise which resolves with an Eris.Message object of the paginated Embed. (E.g. to manually tinker with the paginator message).

Parameters:

• Eris.Message message - An Eris message emitted from the messageCreate event.
• Object[] embeds - An array containing all Embed objects you want to use with the paginator.
• Object options - An object containing optional settings to overwrite the default behavior of Eris Paginator.
  • Boolean options.showPageNumbers - Whether to show "Page n of m" over the Embed.
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: True
  • Boolean options.extendedButtons - Whether to show advanced pagination buttons (Jump to First & Last page)
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: False
  • Boolean options.cycling - Cycle through all embeds jumping from the first page to the last page on going back and from the last page to the first page going forth.
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: False
  • Number options.startPage - Which page (element) of the provided array to show first initially.
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: 1
  • Number options.maxMatches - Maximum amount of reaction button clicks to listen for.
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: 50
    • Maximum: 100
  • Number options.timeout - Duration for how long the pagination embed should work for.
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: 300000 (5 minutes)
    • Maximum: 900000 (15 minutes)
  • String options.firstButton - Emoji used as the first page button. Must be Unicode!
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: ⏮
  • String options.backButton - Emoji used as the back button. Must be Unicode!
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: ⬅
  • String options.forthButton - Emoji used as the forth button. Must be Unicode!
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: ➡
  • String options.lastButton - Emoji used as the last page button. Must be Unicode!
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: ⏭
  • String options.deleteButton - Emoji used as the delete button. Must be Unicode!
    • Optional: Yes
    • Default: 🗑

Notice: The Delete button does not delete the whole embed. It removes every reaction and resolves with an empty Promise!

Examples

Simple paginator without additional options:

const Eris = require('eris');
const EmbedPaginator = require('eris-pagination');
const bot = new Eris('BOT_TOKEN');

bot.on('ready', () => {
    console.log('Ready!');
});

bot.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
    if (message.content === '!test') {
        const myEmbeds = [
            { title: 'Test Embed 1', color: 0x2ECC71 },
            { title: 'Test Embed 2', color: 0xE67E22 },
            { title: 'Test Embed 3', color: 0xE74C3C }
        ];

        const paginatedEmbed = await EmbedPaginator.createPaginationEmbed(message, myEmbeds);
        /* paginatedEmbed ⇨ Eris.Message */
    }
});

bot.connect();

Advanced paginator with overwriting options:

const Eris = require('eris');
const EmbedPaginator = require('eris-pagination');
const bot = new Eris('BOT_TOKEN');

bot.on('ready', () => {
    console.log('Ready!');
});

bot.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
    if (message.content === '!test') {
        const myEmbeds = [
            { title: 'Test Embed 1', color: 0x2ECC71 },
            { title: 'Test Embed 2', color: 0xE67E22 },
            { title: 'Test Embed 3', color: 0xE74C3C }
        ];

        const paginatedEmbed = await EmbedPaginator.createPaginationEmbed(
            message, 
            myEmbeds, 
            {
                showPageNumbers: false,
                extendedButtons: true,
                maxMatches: 10,
                timeout: 150000,
                backButton: '◀',
                forthButton: '▶',
                deleteButton: '💩',
                startPage: 2
            }
        );
        /* paginatedEmbed ⇨ Eris.Message */
    }
});

bot.connect();
