Spoiler API Events

Dec
Add spoiler events into the API. Multiple spoilers in a single message can be split apart into an array. Event Example: onSpoilerReveal(spoiler) Code Example: onSpoilerReveal(spoiler) { if(spoiler[0].text == "test") { return true; } } How this could be useful: I feel like this could be useful in a number of ways, but one prominent use I could see for this would be for chat minigames such as Minesweeper (Demonstrated by reddit user u/itsmezoro here: https://i.imgur.com/Y3PwfZx.gif).

    Please ! we could make interactive text with this, spoiler text acting like buttons, that would be the BEST thing in discord. We could make text games out of it !

    Yes, especially because gifs (or any image does not show up) do not play in spoilers that would be great.

    To add precisions on how to make it the best : the spoiler object sent by the api would have as items the message from where it is, the position / index of the spoiler in the message (if there's several spoilers in it), the user who revealed it (can be called "revealer") and the content in it (this is optionnal as it would be in message anyway)

    I think that due to spoilers being client-side, a more practical option would be buttons.

    Two events in gateway:

     

    SPOILER_DISPLAYED when a spoiler has become visible.

    SPOILER_HIDDEN when a spoiler has become hidden.

    I known but developers can implement a way to hide spoilers. Like: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360039389532

    but what does this mean

    Try to click a spoiler, then go to different channel, then return back - the spoiler will be unclicked. So Discord doesn't know if you click spoiler
