Slash command:

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
from discord_slash import SlashCommand, SlashContext
from dinteractions_Paginator import Paginator

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="/")
slash = SlashCommand(bot, sync_commands=True)

@bot.event
async def on_ready():
    print(f"Logged in as {bot.user}!")

@slash.slash(name="embeds")
async def embeds(ctx: SlashContext):
    one = discord.Embed(title="1st Embed", description="General Kenobi!", color=discord.Color.red())
    two = discord.Embed(title="2nd Embed", description="General Kenobi!", color=discord.Color.orange())

    pages = [one, two, three, four, five]

    await Paginator(bot=bot, ctx=ctx, pages=pages, content=["1", "2", "3", "4", "5"], timeout=60).run()

bot.run("token")

Normal command:

More info on customActionRow:

You can define your own custom action row, with its own code!

Example code:

@slash.slash(name="custom-action-row")
async def _custom_action_row(ctx: SlashContext):
    # Embeds:
    pages = [
        discord.Embed(title="1"),
        discord.Embed(title="2"),
        discord.Embed(title="3"),
        discord.Embed(title="4"),
        discord.Embed(title="5"),
    ]

    # Action row:
    buttons = [
        create_button(style=3, label="A Green Button"),
    ]
    custom_action_row = create_actionrow(*buttons)

    # Function:
    async def custom_function(self, button_ctx):
        await button_ctx.send("test", hidden=True)
        await self.ctx.send("lol")

    # Paginator:
    await Paginator(
        bot,
        ctx,
        pages,
        timeout=60,
        customActionRow=[
            custom_action_row,
            custom_function,
        ],  # Note that custom_function is not called
    ).run()

The code above runs a normal paginator, with 1 extra action row at the bottom!

Example GIF:

You can access all of the attributes of class Paginator with self, such as the original command's context (self.ctx), the bot variable (self.bot), and other things that you passed into it!

Template:

buttons = [
    create_button(style=3, label="A Green Button"),
    ... # Your buttons
]
custom_action_row = create_actionrow(*buttons)

# Function:
async def custom_function(self, button_ctx):
    pass  # Your code for the action row here
    # You could check for each button and decide
    # what to do

await Paginator(customActionRow=[custom_action_row, custom_function])

---
