Best way to stay in the same context with awaitModalSubmit?

When I use <CommandInteraction>.awaitModalSubmit(), does the filter automatically make sure that it's a modal that was opened in the same context as the command, in any way? If not, my idea was to filter on user and customId to make sure I stay in the same context, as seen below.

// assuming I invoked interaction.showModal() with customId = "modal" prior to this
// "member" is the member that invoked this command
await interaction.awaitModalSubmit({
    time: 1000 * 60 * 5, // 5min
    filter: x => x.customId === "modal" && x.member?.user.id === member.id,
});

// assuming I invoked interaction.showModal() with customId = "modal" prior to this
// "member" is the member that invoked this command
await interaction.awaitModalSubmit({
    time: 1000 * 60 * 5, // 5min
    filter: x => x.customId === "modal" && x.member?.user.id === member.id,
});

Is there a better way of achieving this?

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

None of the examples I've seen filter on member, only on customId, that's why I'm curious if there's something I'm missing Isn't there a risk that another user could "hijack" the command if they submit a modal with the same customId without the member filter?

if the member is null, the filter won't work as it will return false so it'd be better to directly access the user instead of going through the member

Good point, thank you 👍 But in general you have to filter on userId?

Seren_Modz 21•3y ago

member id and user id are both the same but since the user id always exists, its more common that users get filtered from the user id

LeMorrowOP•3y ago

Yea I just meant either In general you have to filter on user/member*? (the person that invoked the command)

Seren_Modz 21•3y ago

are u asking if filtering the user is required? if so, its not a requirement, however, if multiple people run the command at the same time, submitting could (i don't know for sure) conflict with other users responses

LeMorrowOP•3y ago

Yeah that was my question, and that's the answer I expected too Thank you again 👍
