Inline fields in components v2

[xPaw]

These: https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/message#embed-object-embed-field-structure

I can't think of a way to display multiple values in a row currently in the new components. Maybe we need some kind of grid/table.

I'm also a bit surprised why Discord didn't included features from embeds in the new components v2.

This is a much needed and asked topic of a lot of developers as far as i know.
For many use cases inlined fields / maybe even only text orientation (left / center / right) is very much needed to display information in a nice manner.
Often mobile usage is fine with this as well, as the fields wrap below each other.

Adding my support to this - maybe certain components could just have an 'inline' option?

It would definitely be handy to be able to display components side by side in some way

Bump!

Bump. Really needed!

Hi Discord ❤️ ! We would really appreciate having this on v2 components.

I know the biggest issue with embed "inline" property was mobile compatibility - but smart developers made it work, and bot users happily (or blissfully obliviously) lived with it for years. Right now, we need to use weird text alternatives like " | ", " / ", "--"... I even made an emoji that is just a blank square with the background color of the message (doesn't work properly across all media sizes)..

The point is that an overall good, widely uses, feature was taken away.. and we're sad about it.

Thanks in advance!

please do not bump GitHub issues or discussions. it creates pointless notifications and does not help. comment if you actually have constructive information that wasn't posted previously, otherwise just upvote.

Would be cool if they also added thumbnails

[dev-lush]

Thumbnails have been added as an "accessory" for the section component ("type": 9)

I expected the mobile view to have an inline display for accessory buttons too

[AlmostSuspense]

i think advaith said they didn't do this because they didn't want devs to force themselves to use short labels to make accessory buttons fit inline

Wouldn't it better to have some sort of conditionals based on characters present in the text display or the button's label to make it inline or not in the client's view?

[AlmostSuspense]

that encourages shorter labels
