discord-ext-track-edits 0.1.3.post1

A discord.py extension for automatic edit tracking

discord-ext-track-edits

A discord.py extension that implements edit tracking for prefix commands, inspired by poise:

• When user edits their message, automatically update bot response
• When user deletes their message, automatically delete corresponding bot response, if it exists.

Usage

The extension contains an EditTrackerCog and an EditTrackableContext. They must be used together for edit tracking to work.

Responses will be tracked only when you explicitly .reply() to the invocation message.

                self,

                ignore_edits_if_not_yet_responded=False,
            ),
        )

    @override
    async def get_context(
        self,
        origin: Union[discord.Message, discord.Interaction],
        *,
        cls: Type[EditTrackableContext] = EditTrackableContext,
    ) -> EditTrackableContext:
        return await super().get_context(origin, cls=cls)

# your usual bot setup code here

Cog options

• max_duration: How long to track bot responses for. If set to None, bot responses will be tracked indefinitely until the process is shut down. (default: 5 minutes)
• execute_untracked_edits: Whether to execute a command that was previously untracked, for example, when the user makes a typo and edits it into a valid invocation. (default: True)
• ignore_edits_if_not_yet_responded: Whether to ignore edits on messages that have not been responded to. This happens if the edits happens before the command has sent a response, or if the command does not respond at all. (default: False)

Command options

Command options are supplied through the extras dictionary:

@commands.command(extras={"invoke_on_edit": False})
async def cmd(ctx):
    ...

• invoke_on_edit: Whether to rerun the command if an existing invocation message is edited (default: True)
• track_deletion: Whether to delete the bot response if an existing invocation message is deleted (default: True)
• reuse_response: Whether to post subsequent responses as edits to the original response (default: True)
