Create button dynamically?

I have some data I need to fetch from my database, and then iterate over that data and want to create buttons for each row of data. Is this possible? The documentation is a little hazy and I haven't seen any examples of a similar case.

you can pass whatever variables to whatever ButtonBuilder methods you want

I guess what I'm saying, is would something like this actually work?

const rosters = await Roster.query().select(["id", "name", "url"]);

  

  const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(
    ...rosters.map((roster) =>
      new ButtonBuilder()
        .setCustomId(roster.id)
        .setLabel(roster.name)
        .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Success)
    )
  );

const rosters = await Roster.query().select(["id", "name", "url"]);

  

  const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(
    ...rosters.map((roster) =>
      new ButtonBuilder()
        .setCustomId(roster.id)
        .setLabel(roster.name)
        .setStyle(ButtonStyle.Success)
    )
  );

I do I need to pass it as an array of plain objects to the addComponents function?

what you have is fine, assuming you don't add more than 5 buttons to the single row
