A collection of reusable, dynamic, and intuitive Discord UI views, built on top
of Pycord's [**Bot UI Kit**](https://docs.pycord.dev/en/master/api/ui_kit.html).

This project was originally created for personal use in my (way too many)
Discord bots, but I decided to make it more easily accessible just in case other
bot developers find it helpful. 💜

Currently, the only supported Discord library is **[Pycord]**, because that's
the one that most of my bots happen to use. I'd love to extend support to other
libraries too, but I'm not sure when I'll be able to make the time to do so. In
the meantime, if you're using a different library, check out my other utility
kit for Discord bots – **[Botstrap]**!

## Installation

```
pip install -U bot-ui-kitty
```

Python **3.10** or higher is required. It's also generally a good idea to
upgrade pip (`python -m pip install -U pip`).

### For Development

```
git clone https://github.com/nuztalgia/bot-ui-kitty.git
cd bot-ui-kitty
pip install -e .
```

This will create an [editable installation] of `bot-ui-kitty` in your current
environment. Any changes you make to the code will immediately take effect, so
using a [virtual env] is highly recommended!

## Available Views

### [Dynamic Select](https://github.com/nuztalgia/bot-ui-kitty#dynamic-select)

This view is designed to handle any use case that calls for selecting a single
item from a sequence of possible options. It'll automatically choose to display
either a row of buttons, a dropdown menu, or a combination of both (to emulate
pagination) depending on the **number of options** you throw at it! 🤹

- **Example 1:** Choose your starter Pokemon! (**3** options)

  ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/95021853/202794482-60a5ca50-7593-4f66-a160-3ba1509d4d84.png)

  ```py
  number = await uikitty.dynamic_select(
      ctx,
      content="Choose your starter Pokemon!",
      **{"🌱 Bulbasaur": 1, "🔥 Charmander": 4, "💧 Squirtle": 7},
  )
  await ctx.edit(content=f"Your Pokemon's number is **#00{number}**!", view=None)
  ```

  ***

- **Example 2:** What time is it, Mr. Wolf? (**24** options)

  ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/95021853/202796751-5f541611-4806-4918-ad34-aa347f92b807.png)

  ```py
  time = await uikitty.dynamic_select(
      ctx,
      *[f"{str(i).zfill(2)}:00" for i in range(24)],
      select_placeholder="What time is it, Mr. Wolf?",
  )
  await ctx.edit(content=f"It's ~~{time}~~ **DINNER TIME!!!**", view=None)
  ```

  ***

- **Example 3:** I heard you like chemistry... (**119** options)

  ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/95021853/202812334-ac9ee8a9-3083-4276-b0b2-edbcf8cef30e.png)

  ```py
  element = await uikitty.dynamic_select(
      ctx,
      embed=Embed(title="Select an element to learn more about it!", color=color),
      **elements_data,
  )
  embed = Embed(
      title=element["name"], description=element["summary"], url=element["source"],
  )
  await ctx.edit(embed=embed, view=None)
  ```
