Interface FileDisplay

All Superinterfaces:
Component, ContainerChildComponent, MessageTopLevelComponent
public interface FileDisplay extends Component, MessageTopLevelComponent, ContainerChildComponent
Component displaying a file, you can mark it as a spoiler.

  • Method Details

    • fromFile

      @Nonnull static FileDisplay fromFile(@Nonnull FileUpload file)
      Constructs a new FileDisplay from the FileUpload.

      This method can also be used to upload external resources, such as by using FileUpload.fromData(InputStream, String), in which case it will re-upload the entire file.

      This will automatically add the file when building the message, as such you do not need to add it manually (with MessageCreateRequest.addFiles(FileUpload...) for example).

      Example 

      
 MessageChannel channel; // = reference of a MessageChannel
 // It's recommended to use a more robust HTTP library instead,
 // such as Java 11+'s HttpClient, or OkHttp (included with JDA), among many other options.
 InputStream file = new URL("https://http.cat/500").openStream();
 // You can also replace this with a local file
 FileDisplay fileDisplay = FileDisplay.fromFile(FileUpload.fromData(file, "cat.png"))
     .setDescription("This is a cute car :3");
 channel.sendComponents(fileDisplay)
     .useComponentsV2()
     .queue();
      Parameters:
      file - The FileUpload to display
      Returns:
      The new FileDisplay
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If null is provided

    • fromFileName

      @Nonnull static FileDisplay fromFileName(@Nonnull String fileName)
      Constructs a new FileDisplay with the provided file name.

      You will need to add the file before building the message, such as with MessageCreateRequest.addFiles(FileUpload...), for example.

      Example 

      
 MessageChannel channel; // = reference of a MessageChannel
 // It's recommended to use a more robust HTTP library instead,
 // such as Java 11+'s HttpClient, or OkHttp (included with JDA), among many other options.

 FileDisplay fileDisplay = FileDisplay.fromFileName("cat.png") // Match the file name in FileUpload
     .setDescription("This is a cute car :3");

     // You can also replace this with a local file
     .addFiles(FileUpload.fromData(file, "cat.png"))
     .useComponentsV2()
     .queue();
      Parameters:
