<ButtonInteraction>.update() with your edited embeds

I have this :

            collector.on('collect', async (i) => {
                if (i.customId === 'confirm') {

                    loaEmbed.setColor(0xFF0000);

                    await message.edit({ embeds: [loaEmbed], components: [] });
                } else if (i.customId === 'cancel') {
                    
                    await message.delete();
                }
            });

            collector.on('collect', async (i) => {
                if (i.customId === 'confirm') {

                    loaEmbed.setColor(0xFF0000);

                    await message.edit({ embeds: [loaEmbed], components: [] });
                } else if (i.customId === 'cancel') {
                    
                    await message.delete();
                }
            });

replace the message.edit with what i said

Is their not a way of just changing a field rather than making a whole new embed

treble/luna•7mo ago

you can construct a builder from the embeds attached from the message Seen you appear to have access to the original builder, you dont need to do this a'd can just edit directly

I cannot be getting this to work for some reason. To be honest you have said ButtonInteraction.update() But that still doesn't explain how to edit a specific embed value

entropy•7mo ago

I believe @polarwolvinny ❄ 🌈 is saying to do something like this:

const newEmbed = new EmbedBuilder(test.embeds[0].toJSON()).setDescription('new description')
    buttonInteraction.update({ embeds: [newEmbed] })

const newEmbed = new EmbedBuilder(test.embeds[0].toJSON()).setDescription('new description')
    buttonInteraction.update({ embeds: [newEmbed] })

yeah but that code is wrong

d.js docs•7mo ago

Structures from the API cannot be edited directly. To do so, you can create a new structure (a builder) using the .from() method

const newEmbed = EmbedBuilder.from(embed).setTitle("title")
const newRow = ActionRowBuilder.from(row).addComponents(component)

const newEmbed = EmbedBuilder.from(embed).setTitle("title")
const newRow = ActionRowBuilder.from(row).addComponents(component)

You can just edit it like you would regularly ex call setTitle and it's override

Ashish•7mo ago

To replace a specific embed field, you can use EmbedBuilder.spliceFields() to change a specific field if you have fields in your embed https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/builders/main/EmbedBuilder:Class#spliceFields

A builder that creates API-compatible JSON data for embeds.
