there aren't too many ways to style a button. you can check the available styles here https://discord-api-types.dev/api/discord-api-types-v10/interface/APIButtonComponentWithCustomId#style or this enum https://discord-api-types.dev/api/discord-api-types-v10/enum/ButtonStyle

I know how to style a button, I'm just not sure how to edit a specific button inside a message right now the problem is that the components of the message I've fetched is the type of ActionRow<MessageActionRowComponent>[], but when I use a ButtonBuilder to create a new button, I'm just not sure how to "compile" it into the type of MessageActionRowComponent so that typescript is happy

well, you need to narrow it first to ButtonComponent then you should be able to do ButtonBuilder.from(component)

right now I'm trying this:

let rows = msg.components
const newRow = new ActionRowBuilder(rows[row]);
const button = new ButtonBuilder()
newRow.components[column] = button
rows[row] = newRow
await msg.edit({components: rows})

let rows = msg.components
const newRow = new ActionRowBuilder(rows[row]);
const button = new ButtonBuilder()
newRow.components[column] = button
rows[row] = newRow
await msg.edit({components: rows})

but the line

rows[row] = newRow

rows[row] = newRow

gives

Type 'ActionRowBuilder<AnyComponentBuilder>' is missing the following properties from type 'ActionRow<MessageActionRowComponent>': type, equalsts(2739)

Create a new row and use static ButtonBuilder#from method Then edit his property And edit message with a new row

d.js docs•12mo ago

(static) ButtonBuilder.from() Creates a new button builder from JSON data

EdenOP•12mo ago

I have all the button styles stored; can I just make a new button using ButtonBuiler() or do I still need to use ButtonBuilder.from()?

Harnes•12mo ago

If you want to label and other values to be the same you should use ButtonBuilder#from This basically creates a new builder from button json object that you can access in message components property Also you are missing this

d.js docs•12mo ago

In TypeScript the ActionRowBuilder class has a generic type parameter that specifies the type of component the action row holds:

const row = new ActionRowBuilder<ButtonBuilder>().addComponents(button)
const row = new ActionRowBuilder<StringSelectMenuBuilder>().addComponents(selectMenu)
const row = new ActionRowBuilder<TextInputBuilder>().addComponents(textInput)

const row = new ActionRowBuilder<ButtonBuilder>().addComponents(button)
const row = new ActionRowBuilder<StringSelectMenuBuilder>().addComponents(selectMenu)
const row = new ActionRowBuilder<TextInputBuilder>().addComponents(textInput)
