Paginination limitation when not using select menus

I have the following error being presented to me

(node:1484241) [PAGINATED_MESSAGE_EXCEEDED_MAXIMUM_AMOUNT_OF_PAGES] PaginatedMessageExceededMessagePageAmount: Maximum amount of pages exceeded for PaginatedMessage. Please check your instance of PaginatedMessage and ensure that you do not exceed 25 pages total. If you do need more than 25 pages you can extend the class and overwrite the actions in the constructor.

and this is my current code giving the error:

import { PaginatedMessage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';
import { EmbedBuilder } from 'discord.js';

export function movieResponseRebuilder(movieResponse: object) {
    console.log('movie Response: ', JSON.stringify(movieResponse));

    const display = new PaginatedMessage({
        template: new EmbedBuilder().setColor('#8E44AD')
    });

    movieResponse.forEach((movie) => {
        display.addPageEmbed((embed) => {
            embed //
                .addFields({
                    name: 'Test Name',
                    value: 'Test value'
                });
            return embed;
        });
        console.log('looped movie data', JSON.stringify(movie));
    });

    return display;
}

import { PaginatedMessage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';
import { EmbedBuilder } from 'discord.js';

export function movieResponseRebuilder(movieResponse: object) {
    console.log('movie Response: ', JSON.stringify(movieResponse));

    const display = new PaginatedMessage({
        template: new EmbedBuilder().setColor('#8E44AD')
    });

    movieResponse.forEach((movie) => {
        display.addPageEmbed((embed) => {
            embed //
                .addFields({
                    name: 'Test Name',
                    value: 'Test value'
                });
            return embed;
        });
        console.log('looped movie data', JSON.stringify(movie));
    });

    return display;
}

movieResponse is an array of objects that can exceed 25 objects. how do I get around this error as you can see, I don't have any menus in place in my embed code.

Solution:

Extend the class and override the addPage method. Never forget the basic principles of object oriented programming. You can achieve a lot with simple class extension....

Welcome to 2023 where you can ask AI questions and get answers that are relatively good Or use bing.com chat to have free GPT 4.0 Turbo

something is missing and i don't know what

Favna•7mo ago

No idea what MessageEmbedLike it but the builder is called EmbedBuilder. ChatGPT GPT3.5-turbo’s data is from 2020 which is why I mentioned bing chat.

Caspian Nightworth•7mo ago

ai from bing did that is there a maxPages property? also, looking at the responses received back, isn't MessageEmbed from discord.js now EmbedBuilder?

KB•7mo ago

Favna just said that Also, you can check the arguments from the original addPageEmbed to see the types.

Seren_Modz 21•7mo ago

the page limit is on the addPage() method, and is hard-coded so there is no maxPages property

Caspian Nightworth•7mo ago

i'm trying to override the addPage() method and VSCode presents this error to me and I don't know what it means. this is my code

import { PaginatedMessage, PaginatedMessagePage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';

export class ExtendedPaginatedMessage extends PaginatedMessage {
    // Override the addPagemethod to allow for more than 25 pages
    public override addPage(page: PaginatedMessagePage): PaginatedMessage {
        this.pages.push(page);

        return this;
    }
}

import { PaginatedMessage, PaginatedMessagePage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';

export class ExtendedPaginatedMessage extends PaginatedMessage {
    // Override the addPagemethod to allow for more than 25 pages
    public override addPage(page: PaginatedMessagePage): PaginatedMessage {
        this.pages.push(page);

        return this;
    }
}

import { PaginatedMessage, PaginatedMessagePage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';

export class ExtendedPaginatedMessage extends PaginatedMessage {
    // Override the addPagemethod to allow for more than 25 pages
    public override addPage(page: PaginatedMessagePage): this {
        this.pages.push(page);

        return this;
    }
}

import { PaginatedMessage, PaginatedMessagePage } from '@sapphire/discord.js-utilities';

export class ExtendedPaginatedMessage extends PaginatedMessage {
    // Override the addPagemethod to allow for more than 25 pages
    public override addPage(page: PaginatedMessagePage): this {
        this.pages.push(page);

        return this;
    }
}

If you carefully read the error it says that the type mismatches and the expected return type is this
