Detailed Description

Represents the component object. A component is a clickable button or drop down list within a discord message, where the buttons emit on_button_click events when the user interacts with them.

You should generally define one component object and then insert one or more additional components into it using component::add_component(), so that the parent object is an action row and the child objects are buttons.
