v6.0.0-rc.4 | Change to Modals

Overview

This release primarily introduces breaking changes to Modals. Discord has finally added support for StringSelectMenu in Modals, which comes with a minor breaking change in how Modals are created.

Breaking Changes

With the update to Modals, we removed legacy functionality around ActionRow in Modal. Instead of using ActionRow.of(...), modals make use of the new Label components instead.

Before:

Modal.create("modal", "My Modal")
    .addComponents(
      ActionRow.of(TextInput.create("input", "My Custom Label", TextInputStyle.SHORT).build()))
    .build();

After:

Modal.create("modal", "My Modal")
    .addComponents(
      Label.of("My Custom Label", TextInput.create("input", TextInputStyle.SHORT).build()))
    .build();

With this update, you can now also use StringSelectMenu in Modals, which can also be added using the Label component.

Label.of("My Custom Label",
    StringSelectMenu.create("menu-custom-id")
        .addOption("My option", "option-1")
        .build())

When a user submits a modal with a select menu, the values are available in the ModalInteractionEvent using getValue("menu-custom-id").getAsStringList().
