All you need to know about Buttons in Discord.py & Pycord | Ultimate Python Guide

This is the Ultimate Python Guide on Buttons with Discord.py or Pycord. In this video, I talk about how to create buttons in discord.py or pycord and how to respond to button clicks along with everything about Views. After watching this you'll know everything about Buttons and Views in discord.py or pycord.
This video might also apply to other discord.py forks like Nextcord Enhanced discord.py or disnake as they have been forked from discord.py 2.0.

This was an exceptionally helpful video. Especially as you got in to the object oriented aspects at the end. Answered precisely what I was looking to find out. And I was able to apply these concepts to Modal's as well, so bonus.

[@MS-fp5jq]

do you have any examples of interacting with discord buttons without building bot? for example, connecting via a user authorization token (instead of a bot token)?

[@leonardogenzano1939]

great video! In a view, is it possible to edit a link button that was instanciated from another class. I did it that way because the library says this: (Buttons with a URL cannot be created with this function.Consider creating a :class:`Button` manually instead.) The problem with this approach is that I can't understand how to define the callback for that button that was added from another class (for example, I want to edit it so its disabled after clicking it).

[@Selfik_Gamer]

Thanks you very much! i'm looking for it very long time.... i realy tired...

I get the error message that the commands.Bot constructor call needs the mandatory keyword argument 'intents' now. I followed your instructions, especially the install of pychord and discord.py. But I assume that this is a new feature that I automatically pulled from github. However, all my tries to define a default intent just lead to further and further constructor errors. My question: Is there an updated version of this phenomenal video, telling how to cope with the new intents? Either deactivate or correctly implement them? I would appreciate anyone's constructive feedback, thank you!
