How can you create a pop-up window in Discord that accepts an input from the user?

Time:03-30

It's my first time seeing this feature from a Discord bot. I tried looking everywhere but it seems that I have failed. There's this feature from Captcha.bot Discord bot where you can accept input from a pop-up window inside Discord.

There's a button in an embedded message made by Captcha.bot where you will have to answer a Captcha test. After pressing the button, it creates a pop-up window like this.

After placing the right answer on the captcha bot, here's the aftermath of the experience.

All I want to learn is how to summon that pop-up window using Discord.js if it's even possible or at least learn how they did it.

Those are called modals, and they will be available in the next discord.js version, v14. There is already a pull request for this.

In the meantime, you can use an npm package like discord-modals or discordjs-modal.

You can find a working example with the discord-modals package below. Don't forget to install it first using npm i discord-modals.

const {
  Client,
  Intents,
  MessageActionRow,
  MessageButton,
} = require('discord.js');
const discordModals = require('discord-modals');
const { Modal, TextInputComponent, showModal } = discordModals;

const TOKEN = 'YOUR TOKEN HERE';
const client = new Client({
  intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES],
});
discordModals(client);

client.on('messageCreate', (message) => {
  if (message.author.bot) return;

  let button = new MessageActionRow();
  button.addComponents(
    new MessageButton()
      .setCustomId('verification-button')
      .setStyle('PRIMARY')
      .setLabel('Open modal dialog'),
  );
  message.reply({
    components: [button],
  });
});

client.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
  if (interaction.isButton()) {
    if (interaction.customId === 'verification-button') {
      const modal = new Modal() // We create a Modal
        .setCustomId('verification-modal')
        .setTitle('Verify yourself')
        .addComponents([
          new TextInputComponent()
            .setCustomId('verification-input')
            .setLabel('Answer')
            .setStyle('SHORT')
            .setMinLength(4)
            .setMaxLength(12)
            .setPlaceholder('ABCDEF')
            .setRequired(true),
        ]);

      showModal(modal, {
        client,
        interaction,
      });
    }
  }
});

client.on('modalSubmit', async (modal) => {
  if (modal.customId === 'verification-modal') {
    const response = modal.getTextInputValue('verification-input');
    modal.reply(`Yay, your answer is submitted: "${response}"`);
  }
});

client.once('ready', () => {
  console.log('Bot v13 is connected...');
});

client.login(TOKEN);
