Interface SelectMenuHandler

public interface SelectMenuHandler

Handler for select menu (dropdown) interactions.

Preferred approach: Use the @SelectMenuHandler annotation directly on methods in your @Plugin class:

@Plugin(name = "MyPlugin", version = "1.0.0", author = "Author")
public class MyPlugin {

    @SelectMenuHandler("myplugin:select:")
    public void handleSelect(StringSelectInteractionEvent event) {
        List<String> values = event.getValues();
        event.reply("You selected: " + String.join(", ", values)).queue();
    }
}

Alternative: Implement this interface and register via InteractionManager:

public class MySelectHandler implements SelectMenuHandler {
    @Override
    public String getSelectMenuIdPrefix() {
        return "myplugin:select:";
    }

    @Override
    public void handleStringSelect(StringSelectInteractionEvent event) {
        List<String> values = event.getValues();
        event.reply("You selected: " + String.join(", ", values)).queue();
    }
}
