Paginator with select:

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())
    three = discord.Embed(title="3rd Embed", description="General Kenobi!", color=discord.Color.gold())
    four = discord.Embed(title="4th Embed", description="General Kenobi!", color=discord.Color.green())

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


bot.run("token")

Normal command:

import discord

More info on customButton and customActionRow:

You can define your own custom button, 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"),
    ]

    # Custom button:
    custom_button = create_button(style=3, label="A Green Button")

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

    # Paginator:
    await Paginator(
        bot,
        ctx,
        pages,
        timeout=60,
        customButton=[
            custom_button,
            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!

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):  # Required arguments
        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!

FYI: You can also use customButton and customActionRow together! Also, you can do self.stop = True in the custom function to stop the paginator.

You can use the paginator method self.goToPage(page) to go to the specific page number in the message. The parameter page is the page number, starting from 1.

Example GIF:

You can access all 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!
