Need help persisting interaction data between consecutive interactions in Sapphire
Description
I'm currently working on a project using the Sapphire framework and I'm facing an issue with persisting interaction data between consecutive interactions. I would appreciate any guidance or advice on how to solve this problem.
Current Setup
- I have a slash command registered in Sapphire that makes a userSelectMenu.
- When the userSelectMenu is triggered, it generates a menu with selectable options for the user.
- Upon selecting an option from the userSelectMenu, a modal is created and displayed.
- The user can submit a form within the modal, triggering a modalSubmit interaction.
I need to access the user ID of the userSelectMenu within the modalSubmit interaction. However, since these interactions are separate and not directly connected, I'm struggling to find a way to pass and retrieve the user ID between them.
I'm wondering if there's a way to persist the necessary data (in this case, the user ID) between these consecutive interactions. Is there a recommended approach or best practice for achieving this within Sapphire?

There are no real best practises but your options pretty much boil down to using a cache of sorts. Either in memory by exporting some object, or a Collection (
import { Collection } from 'discord.js', which is just an extension of native Map btw) or externally through a fast caching service like Redis.
Either. way they are all key/value storages so keys will be customids/snowflakes/etc whatever you can use to identify later, and values whatever data you want....1 Reply
