To create buttons in Discord.js, you can use the Discord.js library along with the Discord API to interact with the Discord server and create buttons. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to create buttons in Discord.js:

  1. Install Discord.js: You can install Discord.js using npm by running the following command in your terminal:
1
npm install discord.js


  1. Create a new Discord client: You can create a new Discord client using Discord.js as follows:
1
2
const { Client, Intents, MessageActionRow, MessageButton } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS] });


  1. Create a message with buttons: You can create a message with buttons using the MessageActionRow and MessageButton classes as follows:
 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
client.on('messageCreate', async message => {
  const row = new MessageActionRow()
    .addComponents(
      new MessageButton()
        .setCustomId('primary')
        .setLabel('Primary Button')
        .setStyle('PRIMARY'),
      new MessageButton()
        .setCustomId('secondary')
        .setLabel('Secondary Button')
        .setStyle('SECONDARY'),
    );

  await message.channel.send({ content: 'Click a button:', components: [row] });
});


  1. Handle button interactions: You can handle button interactions using the interactionCreate event as follows:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
  if (!interaction.isButton()) return;

  if (interaction.customId === 'primary') {
    await interaction.reply('You clicked the primary button!');
  } else if (interaction.customId === 'secondary') {
    await interaction.reply('You clicked the secondary button!');
  }
});


  1. Login the client: You can login the client to Discord using your bot token as follows:
1
client.login('your-bot-token');


Once you have followed these steps, your Discord bot should be able to send messages with buttons and respond to button interactions. Make sure to replace 'your-bot-token' with your actual bot token.
