Shards Interaction

Hello ! I have some troubles with sharding specifically with interactions between shards, i wonder if it's possible to send a message with buttons to a server present on an other shard and then get the interaction response ? I know .broadcastEval() exist but the data are serialized so it's not really the solution... discord.js version : 13.7.0 node version : 16.14.2

Message Not Public

I've done something like this:

const Embed = new MessageEmbed()
    .setDescription('testing shards broadcastEval')

const Buttons = new MessageActionRow()
.addComponents(
new MessageButton()
    .setCustomId('buttonid')
    .setEmoji('❗')
    .setStyle('SECONDARY'),
)

const msg = await bot.shard.broadcastEval(async (c, embed, buttons) => {
    const channel = await c.channels.cache.get('id');
    if (channel) {
        let m = await channel.send({ embeds: [embed.embed[0]], components: embed.buttons })
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ time: 30000 })

        collector.on('collect', async(i) => {
            console.log('user interacted')
        })
    }
}, { context: { embed: [Embed], buttons: [Buttons] } })

const Embed = new MessageEmbed()
    .setDescription('testing shards broadcastEval')

const Buttons = new MessageActionRow()
.addComponents(
new MessageButton()
    .setCustomId('buttonid')
    .setEmoji('❗')
    .setStyle('SECONDARY'),
)

const msg = await bot.shard.broadcastEval(async (c, embed, buttons) => {
    const channel = await c.channels.cache.get('id');
    if (channel) {
        let m = await channel.send({ embeds: [embed.embed[0]], components: embed.buttons })
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ time: 30000 })

        collector.on('collect', async(i) => {
            console.log('user interacted')
        })
    }
}, { context: { embed: [Embed], buttons: [Buttons] } })

But now if i want to send an other embed from the interaction do i really need to define MessageEmbed again ?

const msg = await bot.shard.broadcastEval(async (c, embed, buttons) => {
    const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js') // Do i really need to add this for every discord.js functionnality ?
    const channel = await c.channels.cache.get('id');
    if (channel) {
        let m = await channel.send({ embeds: [embed.embed[0]], components: embed.buttons })
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ time: 30000 })

        collector.on('collect', async(i) => {
            switch(i.id) {
                case 'buttonid':
                    const embed2 = new MessageEmbed()
                        .setDescription('another embed')
                    i.reply({ embeds: [embed2] })
                    break
            }
        })
    }
}, { context: { embed: [Embed], buttons: [Buttons] } })

const msg = await bot.shard.broadcastEval(async (c, embed, buttons) => {
    const { MessageEmbed } = require('discord.js') // Do i really need to add this for every discord.js functionnality ?
    const channel = await c.channels.cache.get('id');
    if (channel) {
        let m = await channel.send({ embeds: [embed.embed[0]], components: embed.buttons })
        const collector = m.createMessageComponentCollector({ time: 30000 })

        collector.on('collect', async(i) => {
            switch(i.id) {
                case 'buttonid':
                    const embed2 = new MessageEmbed()
                        .setDescription('another embed')
                    i.reply({ embeds: [embed2] })
                    break
            }
        })
    }
}, { context: { embed: [Embed], buttons: [Buttons] } })

Thats how eval works, yeah, You need to require things you want it to use inside it's context
