Embedding Messages

by Arpan pandeySeptember 8, 2021

Now that we have covered how to make a basic discord bot, we can expand it by adding the ability to embed messages in a beautiful format.

Registering the command.

We all know we can register a new command by:


@bot.command()
async def showEmbed(ctx):

Storing the required variables beforehand.

We will create most of the variable required beforehand.


    #This will be our title
    title = 'A Basic Embed'

    # Our description
    description = 'Our Description'
    
    # We will use the hex value directly for the color of the embed.
    embed_color = 0xA03B62

Actually creating the embed.

Now we can create a discord embed fairly easily.


    # Creating a Discord Embed
    embed = discord.Embed(
      title = title,
      description = description,
      color = embed_color
    )

Adding fields to the embed.

We can now add various fields to the embed.


    # Adding the various fields
    embed.add_field(name='F1', value='Field One')
    embed.add_field(name='F2', value='Field Two')
    embed.add_field(name='F3', value='Field Three')

Sending the embed as a message.

Now, we only need to send the embed as a reply.


    # Sending the embed
    await ctx.channel.send(content=None, embed=embed)
