UICord

A UI helper library for pycord that makes Discord's Components V2 simple to work with.

Features

• Clean wrappers around every Components V2 primitive (Button, Select, Container, Section, MediaGallery, …)
• View and Modal subclasses with built-in owner-checking and auto-reload
• @interaction decorator with automatic error reporting to developers
• UIString - a str subclass with pluggable i18n via state.translator_function
• lang= keyword on View and Modal for per-instance translations
• Graceful pycord 2.7 / 2.8 compatibility shims (MediaGalleryItem, Checkbox, CheckboxGroup)

UIL

• Allows users to write UIs using a builtin language.
• Free of hassle using hoisting and multiline lambdas.

Example:

@home(){
    elements = []
    elements.append(
        ActionRow(
            Button(
                text: "Click me",
                    emoji: null,
                    gid: "HelloBTN"
                ),
            Button(
                text: "Dont click me",
                emoji: null,
                gid: "Dont"
            )
        )
    )

    HelloBTN::interact(i) => {
        await i.respond(
            "You clicked me!"
        )
    }

    @async why(i){
        await i.response.edit_message(
            view: other.warning(prof, uid)
        )
    }

    Dont.attach(why)

    -> View(
        elements,
        uid: uid
    )
}

Generated equivalent

def home(prof,uid,page):
  elements=[]
  HelloBTN=Button(text='Click me',emoji=null)
  Dont=Button(text='Dont click me',emoji=null)
  elements.append(ActionRow(HelloBTN,Dont))
  async def lambda_0(i):
    await i.respond('You clicked me!')

  HelloBTN.interact=lambda_0
  async def why(i):
    await i.response.edit_message(view=other.warning(prof,uid))

  Dont.attach(why)
  return View(elements,uid=uid)

• UI management using uil.load_uis

import uicord.uil as uil
uil.load_uis("./my_uis")

print(uicord.state.uis) # will have every file you have in your ui folder as modules.

• Single File UI Testing with python -m uicord.uil examples/test.uil

Installation

pip install uicord

Requires pycord ≥ 2.7.

For Checkbox / CheckboxGroup support, use pycord ≥ 2.8.

Quick Start

import discord
from discord.ext import commands
import uicord

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix="!")

@bot.slash_command()
async def demo(ctx):
    view = uicord.View(owner=ctx.author.id)
    btn  = uicord.Button("Click me!", color=uicord.Colors.Blue)
    view.add(ActionRow(btn))

    @uicord.interaction(component=btn)
    async def on_click(ictx):
        await ictx.respond("You clicked it!", ephemeral=True)

    await ctx.respond("Here you go:", view=view)

bot.run("TOKEN")

Internationalisation / Localisation

from uicord import state, UIString, View

# Plug in any translation backend
state.translator_function = lambda text, lang: my_i18n(text, lang)

# Translate at construction time
greeting = UIString("hello.world", lang="fr")

# Or let the View handle it - view._("key") returns a UIString in view.lang
view = View(lang="ja")
label = view._("btn.confirm")   # → translated to Japanese
