GIFs (Tenor)

Send Tenor links as gifv content, or resolve a GIF URL for embeds.

Fluxer's unfurler turns a Tenor page URL in message content into a gifv embed. You do not build that embed yourself.

Send a Tenor link as content

javascript

import { Client, Events } from '@fluxerjs/core';

const client = new Client({ intents: 0 });

client.on(Events.MessageCreate, async (message) => {
  if (message.content === '!gif') {
    await message.reply({
      content: 'https://tenor.com/view/stressed-gif-7048057395502071840',
    });
  }
});

That is the path for a full animated gifv preview.

Put a Tenor GIF inside a custom embed

setImage() needs a direct image URL. A tenor.com/view page URL will not work. Resolve it first:

javascript

import { EmbedBuilder, resolveTenorToImageUrl } from '@fluxerjs/core';

const tenorUrl = 'https://tenor.com/view/stressed-gif-7048057395502071840';
const media = await resolveTenorToImageUrl(tenorUrl);
if (!media) {
  await message.reply('Could not resolve that Tenor URL.');
  return;
}

const embed = new EmbedBuilder()
  .setTitle('Tenor in an embed')
  .setImage(media) // includes GIF url + IS_ANIMATED flags
  .setColor(0x5865f2);

await message.reply({ embeds: [embed] });

Rules of thumb

Want the native gifv unfurl? Send the Tenor URL as content.
Want your own title/fields around a GIF? Resolve to a GIF URL and use setImage.
Custom embeds cannot manufacture a gifv type. Only the unfurler path does that.
