Handling interactions

Use one of the script.onInteraction* functions to register a handler for a component with the provided name.

To send a response you can either:

• Update the message that triggered the interaction using ackWithUpdateMessage or ackWithDeferredUpdateMessage
• Send a new message using ackWithMessage or ackWithDeferredMessage

In the interaction handler you need to use one of the ack* functions to "acknowledge" the interaction within 3 seconds, if it might take longer you can use either interaction.ackWithDeferredUpdateMessage or interaction.ackWithDeferredMessage to tell discord you acknowledge it but need more time to send proper response.

Components can also have additional data embedded in them, you can read more about that in the component state section.
