Using Buttons Properly

Hello šŸ‘‹ So I am creating a staff application Modal, I haven't actually gotten to the modal part of things yet tho ahaha You can find my current file structure attached in an image
const {
SlashCommandBuilder,
EmbedBuilder,
PermissionFlagsBits,
Interaction,
ActionRowBuilder,
ButtonBuilder,
ButtonStyle,
} = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName("staffapp")
.setDescription("Send the staff application message")
.setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.Administrator),

/**
* @param {Interaction} interaction
*/
async execute(interaction) {
const applicationEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
.setColor("Blue")
.setTitle("Want to apply for staff?")
.setDescription(
"We'll just need to grab some information from you before we begin. Don't worry, this will just take a second!"
)
.setFooter({ text: "Click the button below to begin!" });

const start = new ButtonBuilder()
.setCustomId("start-application")
.setLabel("Apply for staff")
.setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary);

const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(start);

await interaction.channel.send({
embeds: [applicationEmbed],
components: [row],
});
},
};
const {
SlashCommandBuilder,
EmbedBuilder,
PermissionFlagsBits,
Interaction,
ActionRowBuilder,
ButtonBuilder,
ButtonStyle,
} = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName("staffapp")
.setDescription("Send the staff application message")
.setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.Administrator),

/**
* @param {Interaction} interaction
*/
async execute(interaction) {
const applicationEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
.setColor("Blue")
.setTitle("Want to apply for staff?")
.setDescription(
"We'll just need to grab some information from you before we begin. Don't worry, this will just take a second!"
)
.setFooter({ text: "Click the button below to begin!" });

const start = new ButtonBuilder()
.setCustomId("start-application")
.setLabel("Apply for staff")
.setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary);

const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(start);

await interaction.channel.send({
embeds: [applicationEmbed],
components: [row],
});
},
};
This is the staffapp.js file ``` const { Events, Interaction } = require("discord.js");

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

interactionCreate.js I was wondering how I would add buttons into this thinKappa
if (interaction.isButton()) {
const button = client.buttons.get(interaction.customId);
if (!button) return;

try {
await button.execute(interaction);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
await interaction.reply({
content: "There was an error while executing the button script !",
ephemeral: true,
});
}
} else {
return;
}
if (interaction.isButton()) {
const button = client.buttons.get(interaction.customId);
if (!button) return;

try {
await button.execute(interaction);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
await interaction.reply({
content: "There was an error while executing the button script !",
ephemeral: true,
});
}
} else {
return;
}
I was thinking something like this inside the interactionCreate.js file. But how would I actually access the button calls inside a different buttons directory? Help please discord.js@14.11.0 and node v18.12.1 Im trying to find this in the documentation but im honestly failing to find where its stated

this was semi-crossposted to #djs-help-v14 but not directly answered not sure what you intend to do after receiving the answer you were given https://discord.com/channels/222078108977594368/824411059443204127/1120858869841797200 but just to specifically answer your question here, you'd need a similar setup to the guide's command handling just as <Client>.commands is a Collection you would have to define and populate, you would also have to define <Client>.buttons and populate it yourself by iterating and reading your buttons' files
