Creating books

You can create books in two different ways.

Permanent books

The library knows a book is permanent because it contains a manually set ID. On the other hand, temporary books don't have an ID; rather, they use the message ID to find their respective pages.

To create a registrable permanent book, you extend the Book class and call the super constructor to set an ID.

public class Example extends Book {
    public Example() {
        // "example" will be the identifier of the book.
        super("example");
        
        // pages, rows, buttons...

        build();
    }
}

Then, you register it to your DiscordBooks instance using the #registerBooks() method.

public class Main {
    public final DiscordBooks discordBooks = new DiscordBooks();

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        discordBooks.registerBooks(new Example());
    }
}

This book will now be added to the database on every startup, and its buttons will work as long as it exists in your source.

Temporary books

On-the-go or temporary books are perfect if you need to generate content on the spot.

Book book = new Book()
    // pages, rows, buttons...
    .build();
