global view error handler

To use it, simply subclass our view class instead of discord.ui.View. (or if your using a modal, our modal class instead of discord.ui.Modal) After that, our subclass will call on_view_error (or on_modal_error) then view.on_error (or modal.on_error) in the case of an errorrrr.

global view interaction_check

To use it, simply subclass our view class instead of discord.ui.View. Our subclass will call bot.interaction_check (if it exists) which acts like view.interaction_check. If it returns True, then it will check view.interaction_check.

BaseConverter

We have a base converter class which allows you to easily make converters which work for slash, prefix, and hybrid cmds. Example:

class MyConverter(BaseConverter):
    async def handle(self, ctx_or_interaction, arg) -> str:
        # handle
        return ag

CodeblockConverter

CodeblockConverter is actually an typing.Annotated statement, which returns Codeblock (a dataclass with code and language). For the actual converter, see ActualCodeblockConverter.

Custom bot subclass

We have a custom bot subclass which you can subclass and use. It contains a re-populated session attribute, and a bot.load_extensions method which can either take a list of extensions or a folder which your extensions reside in. It will then load them, and if there is an error it will send it via logs. It also has a setup_logging method, which is auto-called when calling bot.run/start.

send_message

this helper func lets you easily send a message. It takes a pos-only arg which is the destination. This could be a context object, interaction, channel, member, webhook, or a messageable. It also takes every kwarg any send method takes, and if a certain method does not support a kwarg it will drop it.
