Add new component types for User, Role, Mentionable, and Channel Select

[TrevorSayre]

Which package is the feature request for?

discord.js

Feature

Currently discord.js only supports Component Types 1 through 4: Action Row, Button, String Select, and Text Input. Discord added 4 more types, 5 through 8: User Select, Role Select, Mentionable Select, and Channel Select. They function nearly identically to String Select (Component Type 3), except they don't take options and they return not only a value but also a resolved object.

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/message-components#select-menu-types

Ideal solution or implementation

Add the 4 new select menu types.

I should add, I don't use builders, so I'm primarily looking for TypeScript types support and interaction payload support. Obviously, though, users of the builders package would benefit from the feature also being added there.

That's all builders. discord.js just uses them.

Great, thank you for the clarification!

@jaw0r3k and I are currently working on this.

There is a workaround for now, you can use the SelectMenuBuilder and pass {type: 5} to its constructor, which should create a select menu for picking users, you can set other types to get different select menus. Passing a raw component will not work as the library does not recognize the component type yet.

@gamer0mega I'm doing that aswell, but the "interactionCreate" event doesn't get triggered when I interact with the select menu 🤔

[SuperchupuDev]

@itsgox discord.js ignores unknown interaction types on the interactionCreate event, if you really want to respond to new component types before they're officially supported you should listen to the raw client.ws.on('INTERACTION_CREATE', ...) event

@SuperchupuDev Thank you so much!!

Side note, this workaround will not work for a Channel Select component when you want to include the channel_types optional field.
