Why does client.user.application one also have banner when you want to set/update the app?

Apps can’t really have banner but bots, so this kinda confusing and the banner is not updated on the Discord developer portal page at all (I don’t remember)

[formal carbon]

in this memberCount is not available either the guild is

[steel trail]

You're doing weird stuff in your code. That isn't djs that does that, why does your member have a .member property

And why is .guild an id

Show the original place where you define that before passing it down your line of functions

Pretty sure your typings simply are wrong, since this is not a GuildMember

Component Reference - Container
A Container is a top-level layout component. Containers offer the ability to visually encapsulate a collection of components and have an optional customizable accent color bar. Containers are currently only available in messages.

[subtle girder]

I don't understand the guide about seeking audio resources

what prism-media does?
seeking means finding right?

[naive hull]

can someone help me?

[subtle girder]

yes?

[naive hull]

I have this container:

    
      .addTextDisplayComponents(
        new TextDisplayBuilder().setContent("## Official Rules :emoji_7:")
      )

      .addSeparatorComponents(new SeparatorBuilder().setSpacing(SeparatorSpacingSize.Small).setDivider(true))```
How do i add a photo in it?

[sharp ginkgo]

ContainerBuilder#addMediaGalleryComponents() discord.js@14.25.1
Adds media gallery components to this container.

[naive hull]

A,ty

[steel trail]

Or - if you want it as thumbnail - you'll use a section with accessory

[naive hull]

It Don t work to acces the code on git hub

addMediaGalleryComponents(...components: RestOrArray<APIMediaGalleryComponent | MediaGalleryBuilder | ((builder: MediaGalleryBuilder) => MediaGalleryBuilder)>) : this .Is it this?

I am new to js,so i don t understand a very big part of it

[steel trail]

That's the signature of the method, yes... you use it the same way you use the other addX methods you already have

[sharp ginkgo]

Display Components
While you might be familiar with embeds in Discord, there are more ways to style and format your apps messages using display components, a comprehensive set of layout and content elements. To use the display components, you need to pass the IsComponentsV2 message flag (in docs: MessageFlags) when sending a message. You only need to use this flag when sending a message using the display components system, not when deferring interaction responses.

No idea why you added the {} but that log is fine and won't throw the error you had before (and I assume it didn't?)

it throws when the guilds becomes available: false

in this i don't have memberCount cause guild is available :false

isn't there is any way too fix this ?

[steel trail]

You won't receive a guildMemberAdd event from an unavailable guild though. And memberCount won't suddenly get unset. So this - again a boils down to:

1. show the original event this is called from or
2. show the log of member in a case where the error is thrown

So you do a force fetch of the guild there (and discard the result). That's part of your problem I'd say. You really never should have to fetch a guild in guild-related events, this only causes more issues

Also what does that Queue do?

[formal carbon]

welcome , autorole, autonick

1 event 3 jobs with bullmq

but even if i removed fetch from the code right ?

public async safeMemberCount(guild: Guild): Promise<number> {
  if (typeof guild.memberCount === 'number') {
    return guild.memberCount;
  }

  if (typeof guild.approximateMemberCount === 'number') {
    return guild.approximateMemberCount;
  }

  return 0;
}

like this it will still return 0; sometimes

[steel trail]

So you pass member and client as payloads to a bullmq queue? They won't be instances anymore then, they'd be JSONified, right? That causes your issues

[steel trail]

console.log(guild) in there and show that log

[formal carbon]

wait

[steel trail]

And does that cause 0? Where did you log this (in which of your functions)?

[steel trail]

I don't see you logging guild in there. I would need to see a log of guild from inside that function for a case where it returned 0

The typeof that should always be number if you passed it from a guildMemberAdd like you showed earlier.

This is leading nowhere. Show a log of a case where that happened. Until then I can't help you

memberCount should never be not there in a guildMemberAdd event either

I get the feeling you're trying to fix an issue you brought upon yourself by trying to fix something else that doesn't happen

[torn orchid]

does anyone know why my clientReady.js isn't doing Watching test! ?

const { ActivityType } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    name: "clientReady", 
    once: true,
    async execute(client) {
        client.user.setActivity({
            name: "test!",
            type: ActivityType.Watching
        });
    },
};

[topaz bluff]

Where are you registering this file?

[torn orchid]

events folder

[topaz bluff]

Discord.js does not do anything like that automatically. It's up to you to actually load that file

Are you loading files from the src/events folder in any part of your code?

[torn orchid]

Nope

[sharp ginkgo]

Event Handling
Node.js uses an event-driven architecture, making it possible to execute code when a specific event occurs. The discord.js library takes full advantage of this. You can visit the Client documentation to see the full list of events. This page assumes you've followed the guide up to this point, and created your index.js and individual slash commands according to those pages. At this point, your index.js file has listeners for two events: ClientReady and InteractionCreate.

[torn orchid]

It's clientReady instead of ready correct?

[topaz bluff]

On more recent versions of djs, yes

But using the Enum is also even better

[sharp ginkgo]

ClientEvents#clientReady discord.js@14.25.1

[topaz bluff]

Oops not that one

[sharp ginkgo]

Events#ClientReady discord.js@14.25.1

[topaz bluff]

This one

[torn orchid]

Okay

[torn orchid]

Is there docs for deploying commands?

[sharp ginkgo]

Registering Commands
For fully functional slash commands, you need three important pieces of code:...

[restive aurora]

@torn orchid ⏫

[torn orchid]

yeah, i got it

[restive aurora]

Ok :3

[versed ivy]

Is there any event that gets triggered when a member uses the guild tag? guildMemberUpdate doesn’t seem to work for this?

[tribal hatch]

Can webhooks send v2 Components?

[shell girder]

Yes.

[tardy sable]

its userupdate

[tardy sable]

does this error mean i can only bulk delete between 1 and 100 messages? i thought you could bulk delete more than 100 messages?

DiscordAPIError[50035]: Invalid Form Body
messages[BASE_TYPE_BAD_LENGTH]: Must be between 2 and 100 in length.

await interaction.channel.bulkDelete(messages, true)

[bleak owl]

nope, only 100 messages at a time

and only from the past 2 weeks

although you can delete a single message at any time

[tardy sable]

oh okay. can i do multiple bulkdelete calls then or am i going to get rate limited?

[bleak owl]

you could, but you will probably get rate limited if done too often

[north vale]

After selecting an option from a select menu inside a modal, I assumed that once the modal is submitted I could use the selected option’s value for my logic. Am I right? If I’m handling the modal submit interaction, where can I access the selected option(s)?

[tardy sable]

ok thanks ill add some cooldown then

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @north vale:
ModalSubmitFields#getStringSelectValues() discord.js@14.25.1
Gets the values of a string select component given a custom id

[ruby bane]

does discord list the rate limits anywhere? feels like some mention including the including the X-RateLimit-Limit header, and some dont, even though some of them do include it w/o mentioning it

[tardy sable]

idk all i hear is that its dynamic so theres no point in specifying the exact rate limits since its different for everyone

[north vale]

thanks, chatgpt almost tricked me

[tardy sable]

most ai arent up to date with latest updates and will hallucinate

just check the docs

[ruby bane]

the docs are the best resource for anything djs dev related

When I try to send a container via a webhook, I get this error: “components[0][UNION_TYPE_CHOICES]: Value of field ‘type’ must be one of (1,).”

const message = new TextDisplayBuilder().setContent(`## ${title} - ${publisher}`)

const webhookUrl = getConfig().questWebhookURL
if (!webhookUrl) {
    console.warn('Webhook-URL missing')

you need to send the MessageFlags.IsComponentsV2 flag

[gray jasper]

Its giving me invalid token even tho my token is valid, someone knows this fix?

[tardy sable]

cant be other that your token is invalid. maybe show your client login code

uh, no im not showing you my token but.. i can login perfectly fine with my python enviorment.
but on js its just saying invalid..´?

NEVERMIND GUYSS

well something happen to their profile so gg

[restive aurora]

Guys, I don't have a specific project, but It's just for curiosity. How can I make a bot appear online on a phone?

Like this

[steel trail]

It's not documented by discord nor do we support it

[restive aurora]

Cuz someone told me that is made by tricking Discord's api

[steel trail]

My answer remains

[restive aurora]

And ik that you need to modify the discord.js file

[restive aurora]

Ok, thanks anyways :3

[shadow shoal]

Im gonna crash out im still waiting for the merge request for my language 💔

[bleak owl]

are you referring to discord.js? can you be more specific on what you're referring to?

[shadow shoal]

nono the discord presence icrawl made

[bleak owl]

this is the channel for discord.js v14. if you would like to have general conversations about that, please ask in #archive-offtopic

[safe wigeon]

Dunno if you found the answer to it. If you add this to your client (same place where you put your intents), it should show the online on mobile icon instead ```js
ws: {
properties: {
$browser: "Discord iOS"
}
}

[tardy sable]

its against tos i think so i wouldnt recommend

[unique shoal]

Not really against ToS, but discord.js complies with the dev guidelines to report to the ws as the library in use - this overrides that

[wraith cedar]

How to set bot's svr avatar and banner ?

[sharp ginkgo]

GuildMemberManager#editMe() discord.js@14.25.1
Edits the current application's guild member in a guild.

[wraith cedar]

Eval (async () => {
  const guild = client.guilds.cache.get("1408835793258025154");
  if (!guild) return "Guild not found";

  await guild.members.me.edit({
    avatar: "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1414885422324252722/1442183224209051648/IMG_5141.gif",
    reason: "Update server avatar"
  });

  return "✅ Server avatar updated";
})();```

It says updated but it didn't

[topaz bluff]

I wouldn't use a cdn.discordapp.com address

Because it looks like that is a private image...I can't open it (thus the API can't either)

(or I mistyped it)

[fallow finch]

You need to use editMe I believe

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @wraith cedar:
GuildMemberManager#editMe() discord.js@14.25.1
Edits the current application's guild member in a guild.

[wraith cedar]

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'editMe')

[snow onyx]

guild.members.editMe() is what you used?

[wraith cedar]

Input:

(async () => {
 const guild = client.guilds.cache.get("1408835793258025154");
 if (!guild) return "Guild not found";

 await guild.members.editMe({
 avatar: "https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/141...

Output:

'✅ Server avatar updated'

But it did not update

[wraith cedar]

Yea I did that and it says it updated but I don't see the update

[stable sun]

What’s ur d.js version? npm ls discord.js

[wraith cedar]

14.25.1

[fallow finch]

Also make sure the url is valid

[wraith cedar]

It is

[fallow finch]

If you open it up on a browser do you get the image?

[topaz bluff]

Incognito browser ideally as well

[wraith cedar]

Yeah

[topaz bluff]

Have you also restarted your discord client? (Ctrl+R) Could he a caching issue

[wraith cedar]

Been trying since yesterday

[fallow finch]

Try a different image

[stable sun]

Could just be looking in the wrong guild

[flint pier]

Timeout duration was set to 1.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created) ```

What is this?

[crimson gale]

setting a timeout for over 30 years seems a bit excessive

[restive aurora]

But I still see a lot of bots creators doing this :/

[steel trail]

For the last time. We won't support this. Take this elsewhere, not in the support channels. This is off-topic

[restive aurora]

What channel should I use then

[steel trail]

None on this server

[restive aurora]

Idk any other server giving this type of support

[steel trail]

Then you know exactly 0 servers that do. We don't either. Now stop

[restive aurora]

Ok gudbai

[wraith cedar]

member.user.tag is depriciated?

[polar karma]

yes

[wraith cedar]

why is it it does work at some places and some places it dosent

.replace(/{user.tag}/g, member.user.tag) should i use member.user.username now

[tardy sable]

Yes you should use usernames. Tags dont exist anymore

[polar karma]

-# except for bot users

[sharp ginkgo]

User#tag discord.js@14.25.1
The tag of this user This user's username, or their legacy tag (e.g. hydrabolt#0001) if they're using the legacy username system

[steel trail]

It's not deprecated. It depends on what you want it to do

[civic jungle]

how to check if bot has this permissions for a specific guild

export const PERMS_REQUIRED = [
PermissionsBitField.Flags.SendMessages,
PermissionsBitField.Flags.ManageMessages,
PermissionsBitField.Flags.EmbedLinks,
] as const;

[steel trail]

The guild as whole or a specific channel on the guild?

[civic jungle]

lets say channel

[steel trail]

Because channels have overwrites, so it may differ per channel

[sharp ginkgo]

GuildChannel#permissionsFor() discord.js@14.25.1
Gets the overall set of permissions for a member or role in this channel, taking into account channel overwrites.

PermissionsBitField#has() discord.js@14.25.1
Checks whether the bitfield has a permission, or multiple permissions.

[civic jungle]

can you explain to me what is a bitfield?

[rose tangle]

it's a special kind of number that "stores" multiple booleans by making each digit a boolean value

it's not really a djs concept, it's used commonly in programming, there are resources online you can check

djs has the XBitField objects that wrap them, to help you manipulate and get data

[steel trail]

But for working with it in djs all you need to know is "a set of flags"

[civic jungle]

alright

btw, how much I can rely on ChatGPT?

instead of asking here newbie questions

[rose tangle]

we recommend checking the guide for most stuff

we don't really mind answering newbie questions, as long as they're newbie to djs and not js itself

though you can also google or search in this channel for most stuff either way

[ruby bane]

the docs and guide are more up to date than any ai model is going to be, if theres clarification needed, thats what this server is for

[civic jungle]

ok, thx

[unique edge]

if u can dm me

[polar karma]

this is not related to d.js, please don't post questions like that here. ask their support

[unique edge]

K

[amber dome]

Hey, how does one set the channel status like this in Discord.js? Is it even possibe?

[rose tangle]

it's an undocumented feature

so it's not supported

you can achieve it with raw api requests but it's not guaranteed to be stable

[amber dome]

Ah okay, I found something like this online too but was skeptical, thanks for letting me know :D

[nimble obsidian]

does channel.threads.fetch() fetch all channels? or is it used to only fetch a single channel by ID? cause rn it's returning anything for me if I just run it without options

[tardy sable]

it fetches all the threads in the channel

[nimble obsidian]

thank you

[sand minnow]

The first picture is my bot's profile, I want mine to look like the one of mee6 in the second one. The showcase of slash commands is what I mean

is that through the bot code or in the developer portal?

[nimble obsidian]

iirc your bot needs to be verified in order to put slash commands in the bio

[sand minnow]

my bot is verified

[tardy sable]

i think most popular commands show up there once your bot is getting used

[nimble obsidian]

oh ok, well then idk

[sand minnow]

😑 ..

[nimble obsidian]

lol

[tardy sable]

question for ddevs server not djs

[sand minnow]

alright, so it's not through code right?

[tardy sable]

probably not no

[sand minnow]

alright thx

[olive torrent]

Its possible to get the content of message that contains a mention to the bot without the required message intents?

[topaz bluff]

Yes. The content of the message will be included in any messages that mention the bot

[olive torrent]

Thank you

[civic jungle]

how can I check if message is sent by the bot?

[tardy sable]

message.author.bot or if your own bot message.author.id === client.user.id

[sharp ginkgo]

User#bot discord.js@14.25.1
Whether or not the user is a bot

[civic jungle]

nice thx

TS18047: bot.user is possibly null

[tardy sable]

is that a error message? show your code

[civic jungle]

yes

function checkElegibilityForCheck(message: Message) {
  if (message.channel.type !== ChannelType.GuildText) return false;
  if (message.author.id === bot.user.id) return false;
  if (message.author.bot) return false; // check if message is from the bot
  return true;
}

[tardy sable]

whast bot defined as in bot.user.id?

[civic jungle]

const bot = new Client({
  shards: maxShards,
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
    GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessageReactions,
    GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages,
  ],
  partials: [Partials.Channel, Partials.Message, Partials.Reaction],
});

[tardy sable]

in that case your message.author.bot check is sufficient enough

[civic jungle]

wdym, he will ignore own messages?

[tardy sable]

the client user is a bot too. it will get ignored with that check

[proud arrow]

If client is not ready <Client>.user can be null, here it would be typed as Client<false> which means not ready. Dont use your client instance directly, most of d.js structures have client property you can access, like in your case, message.client

In places where not available, pass it around as function params

[civic jungle]

I should pass bot instance to a function?

oh wait, message.client is a reference to a bot client?

[proud arrow]

In places you don't have a means to access it, here you already pass message, which has message.client

[proud arrow]

Yes

Most of d.js structures have client property. You can check the docs to verify

[civic jungle]

awesome, that solved, thx

[civic jungle]

how can i prevent null for guildId?

[tardy sable]

safe chaining? message?.guildId

theres normally always a guildId unless youre working in dms

[polar karma]

use an if statement to guard that it's present

[civic jungle]

ok

[magic hemlock]

@bleak owl

[bleak owl]

#rules 5

[magic hemlock]

sorry,
at any v14 update i can use the Media Builder

[brisk dome]

hey anyone know if its possible to access the Members panel -> Join method through api/djs yet? I know it wasn't a while ago, but i havent tested yet. Figured id ask before going on a wild goose hunt

[dense jackal]

its not documented yet by discord and afaik not accessible via the api

[brisk dome]

😔 yeah i took a glance at djs docs
thank u

[wary coral]

just use the latest version. assuming your referring to the media gallery component

[leaden wadi]

I know you can add emojies in buttons and stuff, but is there a way to add custom emojies in dropdown menues?

[ruby bane]

theres an emoji property when setting options

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @leaden wadi:
StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder#setEmoji() discord.js@14.25.1
Sets the emoji to display on this option

[leaden wadi]

ty

[hybrid fable]

is there a kind of input for a modal for dates / hours?

[snow onyx]

nope

[hybrid fable]

ty will just make select with hours i guess

[topaz bluff]

They're not actively working on one but they are aware of the request and it's being considered

[tawny roost]

allowedMentions: { repliedUser: false }

Does this make it so that when the bot explicitly mentions someone in a message, it would not send the notification?

[azure forge]

Does timestamp in footer section of embed message work just fine?

[topaz bluff]

No I don't believe so. It behaves like this button

[topaz bluff]

Do you mean does it correctly show the time? Yes

[azure forge]

Oh I see, weird, then. I will figure out why

[tawny roost]

that’s what i thought so too, i have repliedUser as false in client setting. Can you override that setting when sending a message?

[snow onyx]

yes

[sharp ginkgo]

You can control which entities receive notifications via the allowedMentions option. You can:

• Set a default on the client
• Set for a specific message
• Use the repliedUser key to disable in-line reply mentions

{ ..., allowedMentions: { parse: ["users", "roles"] } }

[tawny roost]

Thanks 🙏

[versed ivy]

how can I get information about a server tag?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @versed ivy:
UserPrimaryGuild#tag discord.js@14.25.1
The user's guild tag. Limited to 4 characters

[versed ivy]

That’s for a user what I meant is for the guild itself

[polar karma]

it's not available on the guild object

[versed ivy]

This makes no sense at all how can I see a member’s tag but not the server’s tag itself? It feels like discord is forcing you to scrape members just to get the tag manually.

[polar karma]

ask discord ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[versed ivy]

I’m afraid that if I ask they might remove the tag option even from members

[polar karma]

it's not on members to begin with

[cobalt solstice]

hello, i've seen that component builders for container have an id you can set, can it be used to replace a component in a later date?

[unique shoal]

Not in any automatic way, but you can use it to identify things yes

[cobalt solstice]

ah k, is there any way to replace, for example, a specific textdisplaycomponent text with another?

[versed ivy]

when you fetch a guild member, you get their main guild from the user object

[cobalt solstice]

with an embed you can just invoke the set method again but with containers it just adds a new component 😅

[hybrid fable]

hmm, I am looking to have a select component in a modal where you either can select 1 element or not select any
I did it like this

    const regionInput = new StringSelectMenuBuilder()
      .setCustomId(ModalCustomIds.inputs.region)
      .setMaxValues(1)
      .addOptions(
        new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
          .setLabel("EU")
          .setValue("EU"),
        new StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder()
          .setLabel("NA")
          .setValue("NA"),
      );

but it tells me, that the region field is a required field
is the maxValues enforcing the required or am I looking at a potential caching issue?

[tardy sable]

can you show the full error? also by default max value is always 1 so you dont have to specify max value 1

[hybrid fable]

there is no javascript error, its discord telling me in the modal I am not allowed to submit because the field is required

thats eldritch language for the field being required

[tardy sable]

oh okay you have to setRequired to false then

[sharp ginkgo]

StringSelectMenuBuilder#setRequired() builders@1.13.0
Sets whether this select menu is required.

[hybrid fable]

oh my, is it true by default?

that didnt even cross my mind because I just assumed you have to enforce it with true

[tardy sable]

yes by default its true

[hollow relic]

yo, how can do that?

[unique shoal]

It's an action row of buttons in a container

[hollow relic]

Yes, but it's inside the embed. What is it called?

[sharp ginkgo]

Display Components
While you might be familiar with embeds in Discord, there are more ways to style and format your apps messages using display components, a comprehensive set of layout and content elements. To use the display components, you need to pass the IsComponentsV2 message flag (in docs: MessageFlags) when sending a message. You only need to use this flag when sending a message using the display components system, not when deferring interaction responses.

[unique shoal]

Container

Not embed

[rose tangle]

like monbrey said, it's a container, not an embed

you're building an embed

if you're using an ai it's likely outdated

[rose tangle]

please read the docs you were linked

[hollow relic]

ok, thx

[hybrid fable]

is there a way to fail a modal interaction such that the user does not lose the data in the modal?
I need a date to be submitted, and if the date is not in the correct format, I need to stop processing

I would like the user to not have to fill out the modal again

right now I tried throwing an error but that didn't work

[sharp ginkgo]

TextInputBuilder#setValue() builders@1.13.0
Sets the value for this text input.

[rose tangle]

you'd need to re-send the modal with the values filled already

[hybrid fable]

oh thats clever
and also obnoxious

thanks, I think that should work out great!

[rose tangle]

you could alternatively add three select menus where they can input the year, month and day

not the best ux but at least it's somewhat validated already

hopefully discord will add a proper date pick component in the future

[hybrid fable]

oh thats a lot more comfortable, but yea still horrible UX

I kinda gave up on this modal when I saw the hassling with the date so I will just throw in the ISO string and see if people ever use it correclty or not, probably the latter

[hybrid fable]

I have a select field in there, can I also set that?
StringSelectMenuBuilder
nvm sorry didnt see the setOptions

[steel trail]

Sure

[tardy sable]

might also be a better idea to just use a package that handles various date inputs until discord adds a date picker. I use https://www.npmjs.com/package/chrono-node

[sharp ginkgo]

StringSelectMenuOptionBuilder#setDefault() builders@1.13.0
Sets whether this option is selected by default.

[steel trail]

Set default

[hybrid fable]

this doesnt exist for me on 14.25.1
oh its on the option..

[hybrid fable]

hmm, how can I resend the modal?

on my "modal trigger", which is a slash command, I use interaction.showModal

for my modal handler, it tells me:

I checked interaction.reply but can't find a way to send a modal there

[rose tangle]

yeah you'd need another interaction

can't send a modal after a modal

what I do is show the preview and errors, and have an edit button and a submit button which can't be used until there's no errors

[hybrid fable]

can I respond to an interaction with a new interaction, or was your suggestion I "save" the modal data until a new interaction comes in and I try to restore the data from there?

[hybrid fable]

thats a thing? 👀

[rose tangle]

the latter, yeah

well if you program it

that's not a thing in djs if that's what you mean

[hybrid fable]

from my understanding, which is limited of course, modals are not that interactive that I could create a preview in there

[tiny blade]

can discord rest api create a invite link of a server?

[rose tangle]

ah no, a preview embed

you submit and the preview updates

[hybrid fable]

oh I see, and I can probably send the preview as an ephermal message too

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @tiny blade:
GuildInviteManager#create() discord.js@14.25.1
Create an invite to the guild from the provided channel.

// Create an invite to a selected channel
guild.invites.create('599942732013764608')
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error);

[hybrid fable]

clever

[tiny blade]

so yes?

[rose tangle]

yeah

[tiny blade]

omg 15 second cooldown, pain

[rose tangle]

but I figured you wanted the how, not just yes/no

[tiny blade]

nope, just yes/no. thanks

[rose tangle]

yeah it's also helpful for the user in case there's string inputs to figure whether they like how it looks

[hybrid fable]

yea thats a really cool idea, I will do that in the future
for now I landed on this

was intended to be a little cool side feature but I am 2 modals, 5 handlers and 2 embeds deep, so I guess I will have to tone it down a bit lmao

[tiny blade]

any of you do have knowledge about edge functions? i need a quick - fix

[rose tangle]

#1081585952654360687

[hybrid fable]

in a slash command handler, where I respond with a modal, I do it like this:

my bot is currently showing "bot is thinking..." like as if I deferred a reply and never responded

am I doing something wrong?
everything works as expected, but I see the bot "thinking" forever

[tardy sable]

you are somewhere deferring it then

[wary coral]

Sounds like it the interaction is being deferred. You cant defer then show a modal. Are you catching errors for this function?

[hybrid fable]

ah... I was deferring it in the modal handler (so after submission) and it shows that as "I am waiting for the slash command to finish", so I was looking in the wrong place

[cobalt solstice]

Hello, i just converted textinputbuilder which sliced with labelbuilder, anyone knows if in LabelBuilder the description is required too?

[tardy sable]

no thats optional

[cobalt solstice]

k then i get an issue related to something else i guess... ill check and come back if i cant fix

thanks

[tardy sable]

might come handy https://modal.builders/?generate=djs to see if youre building it correctly

[wary coral]

also the modal guide is now upto date

[tardy sable]

oh okay

[sharp ginkgo]

Modals
Modals are pop-up forms that allow you to prompt users for additional input. This form-like interaction response blocks the user from interacting with Discord until the modal is submitted or dismissed. In this section, we will cover how to create, show, and receive modals using discord.js! This page is a follow-up to the interactions (slash commands) page. Reading that page first will help you understand the concepts introduced in this page.

[cobalt solstice]

Yeah cannot find the issue

Error message linked

Code transcripted from 3 files: https://sourceb.in/b5dgiGbAbk

[steel trail]

And where do you call showModal(...)?

[cobalt solstice]

const { partnershipModal } = require('../modals/partnertools.js')
interaction.showModal(partnershipModal)

forgot to link that part sorry

[steel trail]

There is no such export in your Partnertools file

[smoky grail]

does the reload command work on Windows 11?

[cobalt solstice]

yeah i just checked again and found out, ill check if that was the issue lmao

[steel trail]

That doesn't sound related to djs at all

[smoky grail]

the reload command is part of the discord.js guide

https://discordjs.guide/legacy/additional-features/reloading-commands

[cobalt solstice]

works now, so smart that i forgot to change the reference file when changing all bruh XD
thank you

[wary coral]

Why would it not? Node.js says they are compatible with windows 11. djs is compatible with Node.js

[smoky grail]

Because of this message on the reloading commands part of the disord.js guide that i linked. ESM does not support require and clearing import cache. You can use hot-esm to import files without cache. Windows support is experimental per this issue.

[wary coral]

hot-esm is a package and outside the scope of djs and this channel. use #1081585952654360687 for futher question on hot loading commands

[smoky grail]

okay

[hybrid fable]

can discordjs create events? (The discord thing where you put in a date and location and people can click interested at the top left of the server)

I was searching "events" in the docs and you can probably guess how that went 💦

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @hybrid fable:
Guild#scheduledEvents discord.js@14.25.1
A manager of the scheduled events of this guild

[hybrid fable]

thanks

[rugged vale]

is there any particular reason the guide says "legacy" in the url? I want to make sure im using the newest documentation so I don't accidentally make an outdated bot. https://discordjs.guide/legacy

[wary coral]

There will be a new guide, but it is currently not written. The "legacy" guide is the current guide

[rugged vale]

so I can use it and assume im working with the most current info? Thank you!

[wary coral]

correct

[rugged vale]

thanks a ton!

[uncut mango]

Is there a more reliable way to check for boosters?

guildMemberUpdate listener works good but it seems to miss them every now and again

[sharp ginkgo]

The Discord API does not provide a dedicated event for guild boosts, but you can check for it in the guildMemberUpdate event:

client.on("guildMemberUpdate", (oldMember, newMember) => {
    // Check if the member wasn't boosting before, but is now.
    if (!oldMember.premiumSince && newMember.premiumSince) {
        // Member started boosting.
    }
});

[rose tangle]

like the tag says it's only for new boosters, furthermore you'd need the member cached or the member partial

[uncut mango]

right i realize it only changes if the premiumSince changes but even beyond that its missing some

[rose tangle]

do you have all members cached or do you have the member partial, like I mentioned?

[uncut mango]

how would i know if i did

[rose tangle]

by checking your code?

check if you fetch all members on start or have the partial on your client constructor

[uncut mango]

no partials in the client just intents

[polar karma]

there's the boost message, if the guild has it enabled

[uncut mango]

there's also nothing to fetch the members on startup

[uncut mango]

hmm that could work since the author of those messages is the person who boosted but it feels like a bit of a hack

also doesn't work for unboosting

[rose tangle]

you have the update event for unboosting

[rose tangle]

then most likely those misses are from uncached members

[uncut mango]

yeah that lines up with what i've seen

alr i'll either fetch them on startup, which shouldn't be a big performance issue since its only 1 server

or look into partials

[rose tangle]

I'd just enable the partial

[sharp ginkgo]

Partials
One example leveraging partials is the handling of reactions on uncached messages, which is explained on this page. Prior you had to either handle the undocumented raw event or fetch the respective messages on startup. The first approach was prone to errors and unexpected internal behavior. The second was not fully fail-proof either, as the messages could still be uncached if cache size was exceeded in busy channels.

[uncut mango]

thanks

[uncut mango]

@rose tangle do i need to fetch any members from the partials? or is just seeing if the premiumSince property is there enough

[polar karma]

a partial structure is only guaranteed to have the id present, any other data is not guaranteed to be present. fetching the structure will give you the new structure data, there is no way to retrieve the old state from the api

[uncut mango]

right but i can't just fetch every single member that triggers a guild member update

[polar karma]

the idea is to fetch all members at once on startup (<guild>.members.fetch()) and have them cached, thus having the old data present in cache to compare to the new data in the event

partials only enable you to receive events where the structure is uncached, and the functionality is limited

[uncut mango]

why did amgelo just recommend enabling partials instead then

maybe a more reliable method would be checking to see if the premiumSubscriptionCount changed and then going through premiumSubscriberRole

[rose tangle]

because you'd then have the event being emitted

which you currently don't

[rose tangle]

why would it be more reliable?

[uncut mango]

less sources for events, the guilds would always be cached

[uncut mango]

i enabled it and adjusted the code to handle partial data although it seems like typescript didn't differentiate it
maybe i did something wrong

[rose tangle]

you mean more performant then, maybe it is

though you'd still need all members cached for the role to figure who actually boosted

unless you don't want that

[uncut mango]

if i just wanted the count i'd use premiumSubscriptionCount and be on with it

[rose tangle]

can you show what you did and show what you mean?

[rose tangle]

yeah

[uncut mango]

  if (!configGuild) return;

  if (oldMember.premiumSince === null && newMember.premiumSince) {
    // handle booster
  }
}

[tardy sable]

the guild premiumSubscriptionCount doesnt update instantly tho iirc

[uncut mango]

but if i hover over newMember.guild it says "Guild" instead of "Guild | undefined" which seems wrong if its supposed to be a partial but idrk

[uncut mango]

thats fine it wouldn't have to be instant, it would probably work for other use cases

[rose tangle]

• newMember isn't partial, you always have the new data
• partial data has a | null, not | undefined
• in the event you do have the guild id, and you do have the Guild cached, so Guild is not partial data, so it's not Guild | null

[uncut mango]

is partial data is null how can you differenciate between premiumSince just being null because there's no premium since data or because its partial data (this would only happen in the case of new boosters not boosts expiring but)

im sorry if im not making any sense but its a bit confusing

if newMember is always complete ill remove the check for guild then

async function guildMemberUpdate(
  oldMember: GuildMember | PartialGuildMember,
  newMember: GuildMember
) {
  if (newMember.user.bot) return;

  const configGuild = config.customRoleConfig.boosterGuilds.find(
    (g) => g.id === newMember.guild.id
  );
  if (!configGuild) return;

  if (!oldMember.premiumSince && newMember.premiumSince) {
  }
}

[rose tangle]

the Guild is always complete, if you wanted to check whether it's a partial then you do member.partial

I think I understand what you mean though, but for some reason premiumSince isn't marked as a nulled key on the partial member

though maybe because it's already | null

in that case then it sounds like it doesn't solve the issue sadly, you'd need all members cached

or use the message event

[uncut mango]

with the system messages channel?

[rose tangle]

yep

[uncut mango]

ill probably go with this then

[rose tangle]

maybe audit logs could work but that's another intent and more permissions

[uncut mango]

i assume new joiners are cached by the bot while its logged in?

[rose tangle]

if you have the GuildMembers intent

[uncut mango]

ah yeah

alright well ill go with the code with partials as it is right now and add fetching the guild members on startup

[rose tangle]

you can remove the partials since you'd have all data anyways

a partial member wouldn't be emitted

[uncut mango]

oh i see

also as we speak it picked up on a new booster before the system messages channel did

[rose tangle]

weird from my experience they happen at the same time

[uncut mango]

🤷‍♂️ they got the premium subscriber role

it is odd

[old arrow]

Going through the documentation and in the reloading part of it, I thought of something that would convenience me as well, having multiple commands in the same file. How would I do that, exactly?

[uncut mango]

having multiple commands in the same file probably isn't a good idea if you want to combine it with a dynamic loader

its possible but if you wanted to do that exporting and importing the command objects for your registration script would be the way to go

[old arrow]

Honestly, fair enough
I'm just really picky with organization, that's what prompted me to ask lol

Guess I'll go with another thing, perhaps further organisation with more folders. Doesn't seem to exactly like the extra layer with folders though.

[rose tangle]

also djs doesn't handle command files at all

that's why the guide takes you through building such a system yourself

so it's more suited for #1081585952654360687 since it's a js question

[old arrow]

ill figure it out eventually.
thanks anyway though, ima try to find this and read it a little closer

[trail spindle]

I'm looking to start implementing a music feature for my djs bot, what package(s) is the best choice? I randomly had issues with distube and ffmpeg exiting when trying to queue up songs, and wanted to get perspective from other people.

[bleak owl]

if you're trying to get audio from youtube, that is against tos, which we will not help you with

[trail spindle]

It was specifically spotify / soundcloud I was working with

[bleak owl]

spotify doesn't allow playback from their api

[trail spindle]

Saddest news I've heard thus far. What platforms do work without going against tos ?

[bleak owl]

check soundcloud's tos, but none of this is related to discord.js, sorry

[trail spindle]

[shell girder]

Hello, question: Is it possible to know when a user's last nitro boost was?

[molten summit]

is there any person i could pay for them to help find the issue in my code

[stable sun]

No

[shell girder]

I understand, thank you.

[crude mist]

so .js has you put components and modals back into the main index file. so whats the point of putting them in seperate files if you're just gonna have to put the rest of the command back

[stable sun]

Wdym "put the command back"?

[crude mist]

back to the main file

[stable sun]

I mean, I just require/file the command file

Is that what ur referring to?

I do put my modals and components in the same file as the commands

[crude mist]

When I learned about components you have to put them back into the index file cuz discord.js doesnt have the memory to support that in a different file

[stable sun]

That’s absurd

Are you running off of a raspberry pi or some ancient computer?

[crude mist]

No its a highspec PC that cost me a pretty penny

[stable sun]

If you setup your handler correctly, you can have components and such in separate file too

[crude mist]

obviously I didnt make this code but yeah

[stable sun]

It really depends on how you want it to work (where component code goes whether in its own file or group by command)

Ultimately, it’ll be a similar setup to how the command handler, but you have different checks and branches for different components

[crude mist]

well if I had known that I would've stuck to js instead of python

[uncut mango]

A few tips

• you can move the modal definitions outside the run function which means it won't be redefined every time it's run, also applies to required role id
• ephemeral: true is deprecated, use flags: MessageFlags.Ephemeral
• if this is just one server you can set which roles are allowed to use them in app integrations

[stable sun]

Yikes, gl my friend

[crude mist]

I've already learned everything about discord.py Im moving to .js since its faster and has more up to date information

[stable sun]

But yea, you can make handlers for other components/interactions

Or for any event really

D.js is more barebones than d.py tbh, unless you use a d.js framework like sapphire

[crude mist]

This was as far as I got before I got lost what to do next

[stable sun]

Should start with the command handler first

[crude mist]

can you run slash commands in the index file?

I assume so

I'd rather learn how to get the interaction of the commands working before I go to the chaos that is linking folders and files to the main index

[stable sun]

Yea

Pretty sure the guide starts you off like that anyways

Huh, it doesn’t

[crude mist]

yeah thats what put me off with .js at first how it wants you to run them in different files

[stable sun]

It’s pretty simple anyways

client.on(Events.InteractionCreate, interaction => {
  if (interaction.isChatInputCommand()) {
  switch (interaction.commandName) {
      case "ping": {
        await interaction.reply("pong");
      }
    }
  }
});```

Listens for slash commands /ping and replies "pong"

[crude mist]

oh yeah that is pretty simple

i'll play around with it. thnaks

[tiny condor]

This is with every single programing language nothing to do with js

If you put everything on your main file you won't be able to add features, debug features or modify them easily when your file gets larger

[crude mist]

thats pretty much what I did with python

[tiny condor]

Good for you, it isn't good practice though you should learn to organize your code

[crude mist]

I added all my commands and events to the same file and when it got too big and unmanageable I moved them to different files

[tiny condor]

DJS guide is a great way to start learning this, so I suggest following the guide as it shows

[stable sun]

The guide started off w/ the handler tho

[tiny condor]

Yeah as in if he follows it

[crude mist]

well thanks for the help chewinky

You were the only help

[old arrow]

Hey, I'm able to get components working and the buttons function. I want to be able to use the same interaction after the message is updated, since it is paging through posts. I tried looking through the docs, but I am still confused.

        const nextPost = new ButtonBuilder().setCustomId('nextPost').setLabel('Next Post').setStyle(ButtonStyle.Primary);
        const prevPost = new ButtonBuilder().setCustomId('prevPost').setLabel('Previous Post').setStyle(ButtonStyle.Secondary);

        const row = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(prevPost, nextPost);

        const message = await interaction.reply({
            content: 'Test',
            components: [row],
            withResponse: true,
        });

        const collectorFilter = (i) => i.user.id == interaction.user.id;

        try {
            const confirmation = await message.resource.message.awaitMessageComponent({ filter: collectorFilter, time: 60_000 });

            if (confirmation.customId == 'prevPost') {
                await confirmation.update({ content: 'Previous Post', components: [row] });
            }
            else if (confirmation.customId == 'nextPost') {
                await confirmation.update({ content: 'Next Post', components: [row] });
            }
        }
        catch {
            await interaction.editReply({ content: 'Confirmation not received within 1 minute.', components: [] });
        }

[halcyon bison]

in future, please also describe in what way your bot doesn't achieve what you want as well
but in this case, awaitMessageComponent only awaits 1 component interaction
each button click is a separate interaction, so you'll want to use the event based collector instead (<Message>.createMessageComponentCollector())

[old arrow]

Sorry about that, I'll try to remember that.
I'll see if that will help, though

[steel trail]

It does https://discordjs.guide/legacy/app-creation/handling-commands

[stable sun]

The old guide showed you how to use if else chain/switch with a separate section for factoring commands out into separate files

[steel trail]

Oh, you mean old as in more than 3 years ago https://github.com/discordjs/guide/pull/1281

[stable sun]

Yea

Guess I just called myself old

[tacit pulsar]

Collection(5) [Map] {
  'roles' => {
    type: 6,
    id: 2,
    customId: 'roles',
    values: [ '1446047082535456892', '1446047082057302077' ],
    roles: Collection(2) [Map] {
      '1446047082535456892' => [Role],
      '1446047082057302077' => [Role]
    }
  },
  'duration' => { type: 4, id: 4, customId: 'duration', value: '5' },
  'winners' => { type: 4, id: 6, customId: 'winners', value: '1' },
  'title' => { type: 4, id: 8, customId: 'title', value: 'hello' },
  'description' => { type: 4, id: 10, customId: 'description', value: '' }
}

why does the interaction fields of a roleselectmenu have the "values" property but everything else has the "value" property 😭

spent 20 mins racking my brain lmao

[velvet cipher]

Because a role select can hold multiple values whereas the other fields can only have one value

[tiny blade]

what is the scope called for send you direct message permissions

[crisp roost]

hi, is there a maximum amount of components i can have in a modal?

[topaz bluff]

5

[crisp roost]

damn alr

[tiny blade]

samtino what is the scope called for send you direct message permissions

[topaz bluff]

Bots don't need a scope to DM

[tiny blade]

its a user install bot. no mutual servers but bot should be able to send dm

[topaz bluff]

I believe so, yes. Just bring a user app should be enough

[tiny blade]

https://discord.com/oauth2/authorize?integration_type=1&state=close&scope=applications.commands&response_type=token&client_id=1271446364626358302

how its showing "send you direct message"

[crimson gale]

by being user-installable

user-installable apps can send dms to people that have installed it without sharing a server

[tiny blade]

@crimson gale

[crimson gale]

that's what i just answered

if you don't understand a detail of that, please elaborate on what you need more info on instead of just pinging me

help me to understand how i can help you

[tiny blade]

i know that user installed apps can dm you without any scope, im just asking how this app is showing "send you direct message" permission on authorization page while others don't?

[crimson gale]

"others don't"? yes they do

if they are user installable

and after you selected that you want it installed on your account

[steel trail]

That's not a user-app. That's just oauth2

[crimson gale]

that's an oauth2 flow, not, yeah

[tiny blade]

im confused, then how to make a user-app?

[topaz bluff]

Go to Installation. Toggle on User Install

[steel trail]

In dev portal>your bot

[tiny blade]

both are on, only one should be ?

[steel trail]

Depends if you want only user install or be able to install to guild too

[tiny blade]

ye both i want, and its already on

[steel trail]

Do you want/need full OAuth2 flow too? Or why/where is that screenshot of oauth2 flow coming from?

[tiny blade]

well, there is just a login button in my website, user click and login, simple.

same in appeal.gg website but its showing that permission also, mine isn't

[steel trail]

If you want login that sounds like you don't make a bot but an OAuth2 app. I'm genuinely confused what you're trying to make or what your actual question is

[tiny blade]

nvm, i found the solution
thanks anyways

[tawny roost]

Is there a way to get the message the user is replying to? I remember i could do that with <Message>.replied (or something similar) seems like that was removed though (?)

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @tawny roost:
Message#fetchReference() discord.js@14.25.1
Fetches the Message this crosspost/reply/pin-add references, if available to the client

[halcyon bison]

or just <Message>.reference.messageId if you only need the id

[tiny condor]

The intents limit is only for the amount of servers right, not members?

[halcyon bison]

by intents limit, do you mean verification being required for privileged intents?
iirc you can verify your bot at any time now, just that verification is required to go past 100 servers

[tawny roost]

Thank you! 🦆
I’ve also forgotten the docs link, just got back from a break, so kinda forgot everything 😂

[tiny condor]

I just cba to move it to a team, it's for a single server but about 20k members

[golden smelt]

why the "#" dosn't work properly in embed

[topaz bluff]

doesnt work in embeds

[golden smelt]

hmmm, thank you

[tiny condor]

You can use a container with components v2

[hybrid fable]

How would i extract the data from that preview?

I was thinking from the "edit" button interaction below the preview I was gonna get the message and then the embed from there

But now my best approach would be to use regex to extract the previously submitted modal data from the embed

Is there a good way to do this that I am missing?
For context, this is about having a modal to create an embed and edit the embed in a preview message before sending the real one

[tardy sable]

from my understanding you have some kind of embed editor that also shows the embed in real time? just get the embed data then with interaction.message.embeds

[hybrid fable]

I have a slash command that triggers a modal where input a description and a date

Those two are then put into an embed

I would like to let the user preview the embed before really sending it off.
So iam sending a message with the embed as kind of a preview with an edit button below

And when hitting the edit button, I would like to go back to the modal but with the description and date filled out

So everything is in discord

[tardy sable]

you can either put it inside a cache or do your regex approach of extracting data from the embed

[hybrid fable]

Inside a cache?
You probably mean I somehow store it programmitcally with the message id or whatever snowflake and restore it from there right?
Or can i attach meta data to a message?

[loud quartz]

You can't really attach something hidden

But if the edit button is on the message with the embed, and it's the one triggering the modal, then you already have everything you need

[tardy sable]

A cache like a map

[hybrid fable]

alright thanks, wanted to make sure there isnt somethng I am missing that makes it cleaner

[hybrid fable]

hmm, I am sending an embed preview in an ephermal message with a submit button below

once the submit button is pressed, I post the embed from the ephermal message to a "real" channel for everyone to see

I would then like to delete the ephermal preview message to prevent resubmission

I did a message.delete() but I am getting an "Unknown Message" error

can you not delete an ephermal message from the "bots" perspective?

I get the message like this in the button interaction handler:

    const message = interaction.message;
    const embed = message.embeds[0];

The embed is the correct one, so the message is the right one and definitely not undefined

[rose tangle]

you still need to reply to the submit interaction

why not update the message to one without buttons, saying it succeeded

[hybrid fable]

I do reply to that, but I already die because of the error on message delete
I changed the order, if the delete is after the reply it still fails

[hybrid fable]

cause it's ephermal

[topaz bluff]

you should also use interaction.deleteReply() as i dont think you can reference an ephemeral message for message.delete()
(unless im confused)

[rose tangle]

what's the issue with that?

[hybrid fable]

I tried that, but since the interaction is for the button below the message, this interaction I have in the button handler does not have a reply yet so I got the "cannot delete when there is no reply" error

the emphermal message was created by a modal interaction at an earlier step, here I am inside the button handler

the interaction still gives me the message, but it won't let me delete it

[hybrid fable]

the "submitted" non preview version should no longer be ephermal, and afaik you can't turn an ephermal message to not being ephermal afterwards

[rose tangle]

what I mean is, user presses submit, it sends the message, and the one that used to have the submit button is edited to not have any buttons and just say it succeeded

[hybrid fable]

looks like this for some context, so with the button I basically want to delete the ephermal message its part of:

[hybrid fable]

oh
just remove the action row... yea I can also do that as a easy solution, thanks!

but if I can't delete it, I am not sure it will let me edit it, I will give it a try

[rose tangle]

you can't use message.edit, you'd use interaction.update

you can't do much with messages from ephemeral interactions

[covert shore]

does anyone know why presenceUpdate doesn't fire when an activity's properties changes (i.e. end timestamp)

[rose tangle]

if you really want you can delete it with deferUpdate and then deleteReply, but I think it'd be better to let the user know what happened, and not just dissapear the message

[hybrid fable]

I am doing a reply afterwards telling the user that it was successfull

I used the interaction.update as you suggested, and it worked, thank you!
I will try the deferUpdate and deleteReply to see if its what I was looking for

The embed is pretty big so I feel like it would be better for the user to not see it after confirming its fine

[rose tangle]

you can edit it out to the success message then

[tardy sable]

timestamp like a game activity or song?

[hybrid fable]

that did exactly what I wanted it to, thank you

but you were right, now the bot responds to a message that doesn't exist anymore, so its weird

I will use the version where I just edit out the submit button 🙏

[covert shore]

yea a song (I'm using premid for YT Music Presence)

[hybrid fable]

hmm turns out this button handler does a lot of things and has to wait for API's, so I am kinda worried I will get a timeout on the interaction before I am finished

so, usually I would do an interaction.deferReply to get enough time

however, if I do that, then I can't do interaction.update to update the message anymore

is there something I am missing or is this an unsolveable situation I am creating with those requirements?

[rose tangle]

you can also deferUpdate

[hybrid fable]

god bless, I didnt see that one, thank you so much

[rose tangle]

though I'm not sure if the user is restricted to not use any components from that message until the defer is resolved, I don't think so, so you could initially edit out the action row and then editReply

[loud quartz]

Defer doesn't block buttons, no

[hybrid fable]

nope didnt block anything out of the ordinary

so I did a deferUpdate with followUp for errors + the final success message, and did a editReply for deleting the buttons as usual 🙏

[loud quartz]

It's why the "trick" of "not having to respond" works with deferUpdate

[hybrid fable]

I think I am getting the hang of interactions now thanks for the help

[covert shore]

So basically I'm trying to get the if a song is playing or paused. It works when I skip or go to the previous song because it updates the state, description and large image. But when you pause a song, I think it gets rid of the end time to display the duration you've been paused for instead. Then I was just sending it through my Websocket so that it updates on a website.

[loud quartz]

That should work the exactly same way

It's genuinely the same way the app you use as a human to look at the presence knows it changed as well

[covert shore]

for some reason the presenceUpdate event doesn't fire when I pause

I can show code

[loud quartz]

Sure

[covert shore]

do I post a snippet directly in chat or do I upload it somewhere?

[sharp ginkgo]

To share long code snippets, use a service like gist, sourcebin, pastebin, or similar instead of posting them as large code blocks or files.

[covert shore]

https://sourceb.in/tIEPIqMK6d

[covert shore]

I think for now I'll just implement a workaround. How often am I allowed to get a user's presence without hitting a rate-limit?

[tardy sable]

you arent hitting any ratelimits by getting the data from client events

[loud quartz]

they said "get user presence", not receive

[tardy sable]

thought with the context it had to do with the client event. if not, rate limit depends then on getting the member, if you have the member cached you wont hit a ratelimit fast 🤷

[loud quartz]

but having them in cache defeats entire reason they are trying to even do this workaround

[covert shore]

I'm trying to see how often I can run guild.users.fetch(...).presence

[loud quartz]

users don't have presence

and fetching a member does not come with their presence

[covert shore]

wait no I meant guild.members

[loud quartz]

for the precise reason presence is behind a privileged intent

[covert shore]

I have the intent active because it's a bot that's gonna be in 1 server and only fetching my presence

[loud quartz]

that doesn't change the fact that it's behind and intent

[tardy sable]

for cached members in djs presence doesnt update?

[loud quartz]

that only changes that you are free to enable it, it doesn't change how API works for you

[loud quartz]

what would update if nothign would get fetched

if they would just be taken from cache

[covert shore]

wym?

[loud quartz]

presence is tied to gateway

you can't just HTTP GET member's presence

[tardy sable]

i might be misunderstanding you but to see if a members is offline/online etc i dont have to fetch them again

[loud quartz]

you can't even do that if you wanted, as i already said. you only know if thye are online or not because their presence came to you one way or another via any gateway events

[covert shore]

this is my own websocket in which the 'presenceUpdate' and it gets sent to the websocket

[loud quartz]

okay, let's back it up a bit because now you're mixing your stuff into what discord does or sends

[tardy sable]

so a cached member does get their presence updated if i have the gateway event?

[loud quartz]

it might even get cached with the event, if discord happens to send enough data with the presence update

and you have partials enabled

[covert shore]

now I'm kinda confused because I can fetch the member and get their presence so does this just not work?

like I'm getting all of this so it's just like 😵

for reference: this is my implementation

[stable sun]

Is the event not running at all?

[covert shore]

the event runs for everything but when the start and end timestamps change for some reason

[stone marsh]

Is it possible to upload or attach files inside a Modal in Discord.js?
If yes, from which Discord.js version is this supported, and can you share a simple code example?

[sharp ginkgo]

File upload
File upload components allow you to prompt the user to upload a file from their system. Discord does not send the file data itself in the resulting interaction. You will have to download it from Discords CDN to process and validate it. Do not execute arbitrary code people upload via your app!

[topaz bluff]

#announcements message

[stone marsh]

Ty 🤝🏼

[topaz bluff]

need 14.24.0 at least...but you should use @latest

[tiny condor]

Wait, is it possible to display an image in a modal?

[topaz bluff]

no i dont believe so

only accept file uploads

[wary coral]

ya no it is not

[sharp ginkgo]

Modals
Modals are pop-up forms that allow you to prompt users for additional input. This form-like interaction response blocks the user from interacting with Discord until the modal is submitted or dismissed. In this section, we will cover how to create, show, and receive modals using discord.js! This page is a follow-up to the interactions (slash commands) page. Reading that page first will help you understand the concepts introduced in this page.

[topaz bluff]

advaith pls fix

[covert shore]

turns out there was a little tweaking I needed to do with PreMiD's youtube music presence config in order to make it work properly. Thanks all who extended help

[silent mirage]

Not sure if this us allowed id there away i can search any guild by id using it for a website for my bot

Without bot being in server

[covert shore]

no

[wary coral]

I think you can get a preview. IDK if bots can use the route

[sharp ginkgo]

Guild Resource - Get Guild Preview GET guilds/{guild.id}/preview
Returns the guild preview object for the given id. If the user is not in the guild, then the guild must be discoverable.

[main mason]

when someone else invokes a slash command that's responded to via an interaction.reply() that's not ephemeral (i.e. the message is viewable by anyone), is it possible for another bot that can access that message to check who initially invoked that slash command.

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @main mason:
Message#interactionMetadata discord.js@14.25.1
Partial data of the interaction that this message is a result of

[ruby bane]

(more specifically MessageInteractionMetadata.user)

[main mason]

tysm!

[ruby bane]

[steel trail]

They can

[sharp ginkgo]

Client#fetchGuildPreview() discord.js@14.25.1
Obtains a guild preview from Discord, available for all guilds the bot is in and all Discoverable guilds.

[tiny blade]

embeds with components like buttons sent from api though a website, that interactions logic lives in website function or discord bot?

how common bots does it?

[sharp ginkgo]

Display Components
While you might be familiar with embeds in Discord, there are more ways to style and format your apps messages using display components, a comprehensive set of layout and content elements. To use the display components, you need to pass the IsComponentsV2 message flag (in docs: MessageFlags) when sending a message. You only need to use this flag when sending a message using the display components system, not when deferring interaction responses.

[tiny blade]

@steel trail can you please elaborate in easy words?

website function or in discord code

for example the ticket bots, we can send ticket panel from website, do their interactions are handled in bot code?

[velvet cipher]

Both. The website probably has an API endpoint that then internally sends a request/message to the bot to create a ticket in a server.

[tiny blade]

which one is common/better way?

i guess bot?

[velvet cipher]

You need both

If you want your website to interact with your bot, you need some kind of internal communication between them. Either your bot exposes API endpoints directly, or you have internal endpoints between your bot and your website's back-end.

[tiny blade]

ye i know i need both, like for sending embed process to a channel, its api job, after that for button etc, it comes to bot.

i know both can do that but i'm asking which is better

[velvet cipher]

I really don't understand what you're asking. I'm not giving you two options, I'm saying this is the only way to connect a website and a bot.

[tiny blade]

no? we can do store all logic of buttons interaction in bot?

[velvet cipher]

Okay I have no idea what your question is, sorry

[tiny blade]

no problem, thanks anyways

[velvet cipher]

Obviously the bot needs to handle interactions with Discord. I'm saying that for you to be able to have your bot do something from a website, you need that internal communication.

Either through a HTTP API or some kind of message queue

[steel trail]

Click the link in the guide post I sent. That explains everything

[brazen quarry]

Hi, so as much as I understand, Client#user is only null when the client isn't in Ready state. Now, I want to use client.user in a bunch of event handlers like mainly interactionCreate, guildDelete, voiceStateUpdate. Is the client guaranteed to always be ready when these events fire or more generally, how to know which events might trigger with a not ready client and which will certainly only trigger with a ready client?

[polar karma]

you should only receive events after the client is ready

[fallow finch]

And most of these events have a way of giving you ClientUser without passing client in the event handler, invite.client guild.client etc

[brazen quarry]

hm, that's a good idea actually... some of this code is really old and possibly uninformed

[steel trail]

The only events that could emit before client is ready are shardX events like shardReady

[brazen quarry]

Another question, maybe this is a bigger topic, we will see... the bot handles slash commands and basically nothing else. How do I ensure that interaction.guild is never null?

[polar karma]

specify guild context only when deploying and use the inCachedGuild typeguard if using ts

[sharp ginkgo]

CommandInteraction#inCachedGuild() discord.js@14.25.1
Indicates whether this interaction is received from a cached guild.

[brazen quarry]

Yes, I have seen this. The followup question would be, when could an interaction come from an uncached guild? Is that something I need to realistically prepare for?

[steel trail]

If there is no bot user in that guild (app invited without bot scope) or you don't login with Guilds intent

[brazen quarry]

Thank you. That's not something I'm supporting right now so it's probably safe to just assert otherwise.

[steel trail]

Don't assert. Use the inCachedGuild() method to check and not do what you're supposed to do if it's false

[brazen quarry]

well that's an assertion

that one change (along with a corresponding update to a custom type) eliminated at least 20 errors xD

[brazen quarry]

Okay, another similar one 😅 when can the channel property of a chatinputcommand (now with cached guild) be null?

[fallow finch]

Don't think it should be null, if you hover over the ChatInputCommandInteraction object does it show <"cached">

[brazen quarry]

seems like this is an inherited property

[steel trail]

what is interaction typed as?

[brazen quarry]

inb4 latest discord.js (14.25.1)

[steel trail]

ah, that's right... I think it could be null for some edge cases, like a command being used in a thread in a channel the bot user can't see...

[brazen quarry]

ouch

whatever, I have an idea, I will narrow this particular field in my functions

and assert in the handler

Now probably everything that is still missing will be related to voice. Thank you for the assistance ^^

[loud quartz]

wrong server

[verbal plinth]

Before sending a container, I log container.components.length, which returns 23. Nevertheless, when sending, I get components[COMPONENT_MAX_TOTAL_COMPONENTS_EXCEEDED]: Total number of components cannot exceed 40. Am I looking at the wrong number, or why am I getting this error?

[proud arrow]

It's total component in a message, a button component in a section will also count towards that

• tex display in section

So they can stack which can be easily missed

[velvet creek]

what is the usage of setId in ButtonBuilder?

[tardy sable]

for internal usage, like a note

[velvet creek]

can we pass the data in it?

[tardy sable]

yh you can set any string in it iirc

[sharp ginkgo]

BaseSelectMenuBuilder#setId() discord.js@14.25.1
Sets the id (not the custom id) for this component.

[tardy sable]

nvm only supports number

[velvet creek]

so is that number accessed while managing interaction?

[tardy sable]

yes you will receive the id with interaction

[velvet creek]

        const actionRow = new ActionRowBuilder().addComponents(reason);
        modal.addComponents(actionRow);

        await interaction.showModal(modal);

it says that modal.addComponents() is depreciated... what should we use then?

[bleak owl]

the deprecation warning should be telling you the alternative

[sharp ginkgo]

ModalBuilder#addLabelComponents() builders@1.13.0
Adds label components to this modal.

[ember hare]

Hello there! I am trying to assign a "visitor" role to people joining my server. But for some reason members do not recieve the role when joining. Can you help me pinpoint what I am doing wrong? It should be straightforward..

const event: Event<Events.GuildMemberAdd> = {
    name: Events.GuildMemberAdd,
    execute: async (member) => {
        try {
            await member.roles.add(config.visitorRole);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(`Failed to assign visitor role to ${member.user.tag}:`, error);
        }
    },
};

export default event;

I have confirmed this code runs on the GuildMemberAdd event, my bot has permission to give roles to users and the GuildMembers intent is present but new people joining do not receive any role. Am I missing additional intents?

[bleak owl]

do you have the GuildMembers intent in your client and enabled in the dev portal?

[signal jewel]

do you have correct intent

[ember hare]

export const AuroraClient = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers] });

the intent is also enabled in the dashboard on the web

[bleak owl]

any errors?

[ember hare]

I don't see any :*(

[sharp ginkgo]

If you aren't getting any errors, try to place console.log checkpoints throughout your code to find out where execution stops.

• Once you do, log relevant values and if-conditions
• More sophisticated debugging methods are breakpoints and runtime inspections: learn more

[tardy sable]

place the console log and see if youre receiving the event

[ember hare]

yeah but I already have a trycatch with a console.error in the code above guys

[bleak owl]

the try catch won't do anything if the code isn't even executing

[tardy sable]

try catch wont do anything if you arent receiving the event. place console log at the very top to see if youre even receiving the event

[signal jewel]

what is config.visitorRole?

[bleak owl]

thats irrelevant

[ember hare]

its a roleID coming from a config object

[tardy sable]

it would throw error if that id isnt correct

[ember hare]

will test

something strange is going on, the event fires, the role does not get added, the trycatch does not error

the handler is properly firing

I can pass a role ID into member.roles.add() right?

[signal jewel]

yes

[ember hare]

I have confirmed the role ID exists and matches my config

[tardy sable]

so you placed the console log in the code snippet you showed and it logged on member join?

[ember hare]

yes exactly it logged my user ID and username

[tardy sable]

place another console log right after adding role

[ember hare]

adding the console log fixed it

could it have been a race condition?

I have never seen adding a console log change logic

[tardy sable]

are you sure you didnt change anything else?

[ember hare]

I swear I didn't lol I will show you git commits

anyways, I am sorry for wasting your time

[tardy sable]

no i dont have to see it but you wont know what fixed it now

[ember hare]

thank you so much for helping me out

do intents maybe take some time to propagate?

[rose tangle]

no, that's not how intents work

the code was probably not properly saved imo

[safe wigeon]

If I have a static string option, and below a dynamic string option (autocomplete option), is there a way to tell what was chosen for the static one?
Example:
Option 1 (normal string option): selected "A"
Option 2 (autocomplete string option): is there a way to tell "A" was selected in Option 1 to better select what Option 2 should show?

[rose tangle]

you can just get the option

[sharp ginkgo]

Accessing other values
In addition to filtering based on the focused value, you may also wish to change the choices displayed based on the value of other arguments in the command. The following methods work the same in AutocompleteInteraction:...

[rose tangle]

consider that autocomplete choices are cached so if you type "A" and your bot responds with [1, 2, 3] then typing "A" again will immediately show those same options again, even if you typed something else in another option, and you won't get an autocomplete interaction

[safe wigeon]

Oh, didn't know that was possible. That's neat

[safe wigeon]

That's pretty unfortunate, but it's better than nothing

[vast bloom]

guy asking me this, have guild tags been implemented by the api / by the library yet and if so what property are they

[sharp ginkgo]

For the new Continer using when doing it in json is the thumbnail the same then? or how would add an thumbnail

[rose tangle]

could you elaborate on what you mean with "is the thumbnail the same then"

the same as what?

[sharp ginkgo]

guide suggestion for @steel bronze:
Thumbnail
A Thumbnail is a display component that is visually similar to the thumbnail field inside an embed. Thumbnails are added as accessory inside a Section component, support alt text for accessibility, and can be marked as a spoiler. You can use the ThumbnailBuilder class to easily create a Thumbnail component: For more information about using attachments in components refer to the guide on attaching images in embeds.

[steel bronze]

okay so for example
in an Container for media gallery its

{
          "type": 12,  // ComponentType.MEDIA_GALLERY
          "items": [
            {
              "media": {"url": "https://websitewithopensourceimages/coyote.webp"},
            }
          ]
        },

What is the type for thumbnail if I wanna add thumbnail in my Container

[rose tangle]

why not use the ComponentType enum

but correctly, since your comment says .MEDIA_GALLERY but it's .MediaGallery

enums used to be in SCREAMING_SNAKE in v13, in case you're using an ai it's outdated

[sharp ginkgo]

v10: ComponentType

[steel bronze]

thanks

also maybe this is something you guys wanna fix
The undefined

[rose tangle]

yeah that's a known issue, only happens in the unversioned docs iirc

[wintry laurel]

i assume this is a discord issue? (launching activity) never had this

[stable sun]

Yea

[odd moon]

If I have a piece of code that can cause simultaneous requestes to

await interaction.guild.channels.fetch(id)

Is that vulnerable to causing ratleimitting issues? Or will discord.js just handle the limits internally and it shouldn't cause problems 🤔

[rose tangle]

well the latter doesn't guarantee you won't have problems

you can reach ratelimits with djs, and it will handle them, but you're already ratelimited, there's not much to do

handling means that requests (for that endpoint) will be queued until you're no longer ratelimited

it won't prevent you from getting ratelimited, that's on you

now, for that specific endpoint, you most likely already have the Guilds intent

in which case you already have channels cached, so that won't actually fetch

all .fetch(id) check in cache first unless you pass { force: true }

the only channels that aren't always cached are dm channels and threads

those will only be cached when you fetch or receive them from other payload

[odd moon]

Okay good to know. Sounds like it generally won't be an issue then because it checks cache first 👍

[coarse storm]

Is there any way to check a user's guild tag?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @coarse storm:
User#primaryGuild discord.js@14.25.1
The primary guild of the user

[velvet cipher]

that has a tag property

[versed current]

guys, when using channel.permissionsFor, does this also account for the permissions of the user has because of their roles?

[unique shoal]

Yes

[tiny blade]

can a bot set role icons with api?

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @tiny blade:
RoleEditOptions#icon discord.js@14.25.1
The icon for the role The EmojiResolvable should belong to the same guild as the role. If not, pass the emoji's URL directly

[tiny blade]

so yes?

[wary coral]

yes, you can change a roles icon

What is the fastest method to learn a very good js?(More likely for complex discord bots)

Bcz in js i only know to do containers codes

[idle fossil]

ill do a v14 bot with chat but chat gbt is too dump why

[sharp ginkgo]

time discord.js@14.25.1
Formats a date into a short date-time string.

the thing is i want to validate username for LastFM to make further requests through my miniwrapper for their API

Can anyone help?

[polar karma]

What's the issue with your current code?

[tiny blade]

how can we make our bot online as mobile phone?

[polar karma]

It's undocumented and unsupported

[tiny blade]

then how people do

[steel trail]

Don't use maxProcessed

[polar karma]

Dunno, we don't support it here so I've never learned

[fathom warren]

by editing properties in @discordjs/ws, still its undocumented and every update will require redoing it

@polar karma want proof? wait a sec, ill show it

[polar karma]

No, don't need it

What part of "unsupported" is not being understood?

If discord wanted mobile bots, they would document the route (and then the library would support it)

[fathom warren]

if discord wanted to not let bots support custom device props, they would not allow that on identify :v

still, i do not use nor recommend that

[fathom warren]

max then? oh nvm, sorry im tired after work

[trail hull]

Do we know what's the recommended size for a discord section thumbnail accessory component?

[loud quartz]

We don't because how it's displayed has nothing to do with discord.js

[covert shore]

when working with a presence, is there a way to get a game's largeImage even thought it's not in the asset property?

[tardy sable]

wdym with game large image?

[covert shore]

https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/14.25.1/Activity:Class#assets

[tardy sable]

theres the large image url

[sharp ginkgo]

documentation suggestion for @covert shore:
RichPresenceAssets#largeImageURL() discord.js@14.25.1
Gets the URL of the large image asset

[tardy sable]

if they arent in asset property you have to know which id the large image is

so by probably saving them somewhere

[covert shore]

yea unfortunately games like roblox and minecraft don't send assets so I was curious on how I'd get around it.

[tardy sable]

pretty sure discord uses the igdb api for games so you can maybe work through there

[azure forge]

Is there a separator line feature in component v2 for plain text (not embed message/inline text) or is it not possible?

[sharp ginkgo]

ContainerBuilder#addSeparatorComponents() discord.js@14.25.1
Adds separator components to this container.

SeparatorBuilder discord.js@14.25.1

[azure forge]

if I am not wrong, container is the "embed" message in v2, no?

[bleak owl]

a container is not an embed

[azure forge]

oh lol, I guess this YTer phrased it wrong.

[loud quartz]

it might happen to look like one, but beyond the background and ability to set color stripe, it's completely different

[naive hull]

Can we make containers have colors?

Like that vertical colored line at embeds

[bleak owl]

yes

[sharp ginkgo]

ContainerBuilder#setAccentColor() discord.js@14.25.1
Sets the accent color of this container.

[naive hull]

i understand nothing from this files

[bleak owl]

what are you confused about?

[naive hull]

Like,is it

.setAccentColor("color: blue");```
Or?

[bleak owl]

not exactly

you'll need to pass a number

or you can use

[naive hull]

Hex?

[sharp ginkgo]

Colors discord.js@14.25.1

[bleak owl]

you could use a hex, but you need to use resolveColor(hex) to make it into a number

[tardy sable]

is there a reason djs doesnt do resolvecolor on hex strings for containers but they do for embeds?

[naive hull]

So,it is

.setAccentColor("color : 0x3498db");```
?

[bleak owl]

no, you don't use color:

[naive hull]

Arh

[bleak owl]

accent color takes a number or RGBTuple which is listed in the discord docs

[tardy sable]

embeds do too? but djs alreadys transform hex strings to integers for embeds

[bleak owl]

embeds accept a ColorResolvable, containers do not

[clear garnet]

Because EmbedBuilder in v14 is an extension of the EmbedBuilder from @discordjs/builders to add additional resolving capabilities in d.js land. containers however are not - they’re just directly re-exported with no extension which as far as I remember is for simplicity purposes within the library

[tardy sable]

hm alright

[naive hull]

The new components V2 are so complicated

[bleak owl]

not really, it's pretty well explained in the guide

https://discordjs.guide/legacy/popular-topics/display-components#container

[naive hull]

Yes,i saw it,but i still can t understand some things or find them,and since im new to js,its very hard for me

[bleak owl]

that would be why it's so difficult

the guide can help you understand most things that the api offers

the guide does expect you to have prior js knowledge though

[naive hull]

Ah,so its without color and ""

[naive hull]

Yeh,i am trying to learn better and better

How are named that bars where are multiple variants and you choose one of them?

[tardy sable]

Need more context than that. Show screenshot

[sharp ginkgo]

Select menu
Select menus allow you to limit user input to a preselected list of values. Discord also offers select menus linked directly to native Discord entities like users, roles, and channels. Since they behave very similarly to how they do in messages, please refer to the corresponding guide page for more information on configuring select menus. Here again, you wrap the select menu with a label component to add context to the selection and add the label to the modal:...

Select Menus
Select menus are interactive components which can be sent via messages, interaction responses, or in modals. This page is a follow-up to the slash commands section and action rows page. Please carefully read those pages first so that you can understand the methods used here. This page is for using select menus in messages. For using select menus in modals visit the modal page...

Hi, I have a bot when I restart it the ram usage is 400mb but after 1 day it becomes 1gb I removed all in memory processing such as maps or sets but still cant find what the issue is. I don't have GUILD_MEMBERS intent and for message caching I have already added sweepers. Any ideas how can I fix it?

[tiny blade]

anyone do have idea what things a verification bot checks in their site when we are verfiying in a server?

[steel trail]

What intents does your bot use?

[cobalt valley]

It has GUILD_MEMBERS and MESSAGE_CONTENT but I don't use guild members any more so I have removed it from the client declaration only MESSAGE_CONTENT is used for now and VOICE_STATE_UPDATES

[steel trail]

Just those two intents? No Guilds, no GuildMessages, no others?

[steel trail]

And what makeCache or sweepers settings do you have exactly?

[cobalt valley]

I dont have any makeCache but a few days back I added message sweepers but I don't see any difference

[hybrid fable]

User.id is a "snowflake"
when saving that into a database, can I save it as integer or do I have to save it as a string?
never had to deal with that data type

[tardy sable]

theyre too big too be considered integers, they should be handled as string

[hybrid fable]

alright thanks

[steel trail]

A lifetime of 0 means you won't sweep anything... what are you doing with messages in your code? Do you use any cache at all, if not you could disable it with makeCache instead

[cobalt valley]

Okay I'll try thanks

It was interaction.update() that I was looking for, thanks for the help tho, I might of not explained well what I wanted

[topaz bluff]

Ephemeral messages can only be interacted with using an interaction webhook

Normal endpoints don't work on them

That doesn't look like a DJS issue... rather a Server Discovery issue... likely due to some blacklisted words in the name of your server / channels... you should contact Discord Support if you have any futher issues as we can't help with that

Hi everyone, I need your help.
I have audio files in OPUS format. When I create an audio resource for playback in my bot, the library uses FFmpeg if inlineVolume is set to true, as described in the documentation.

However, when multiple users start using the bot at the same time, I notice a significant CPU spike. I need to keep inlineVolume: true, but I’d like to avoid these CPU performance issues.

Has anyone faced a similar problem or found a way to reduce CPU usage while keeping inline volume control enabled?

[spice knoll]

Hi, I'm developing a Discord bot that will only available in 1 specific guild. I've hit rate limit on deploy commands yesterday because my bot redeploys commands on every startup (ts watch). Should I create a separate file for command deployment to avoid this, or is there any recommanded way to check if there are any changes in my commands before deploying them ?

[stable sun]

The only way ur hitting that rate limit is by removing all commands and re-adding them

You should just be setting them

[spice knoll]

module.exports = (client: ExtendedClient): void => {
    const slashCommands: SlashCommandBuilder[] = [];

    const slashCommandsPath: string = join(__dirname, '../slashCommands');
    const slashCommandsDir: string[] = readdirSync(slashCommandsPath);

    slashCommandsDir.forEach((folder) => {
        const dirPath: string = join(slashCommandsPath, folder);
        if (statSync(dirPath).isDirectory()) {
            const slashCommandFiles = readdirSync(dirPath).filter((file) => file.endsWith('.js'));
            slashCommandFiles.forEach((file: string) => {
                const command: SlashCommand = require(join(dirPath, file)).default;
                slashCommands.push(command.command);
                client.slashCommands.set(command.command.name, command);
            });
        }
    });

    const rest: REST = new REST({ version: '10' }).setToken(process.env.TOKEN);
    rest.put(Routes.applicationCommands(process.env.CLIENT_ID), {
        body: slashCommands.map((command: SlashCommandBuilder) => command.toJSON()),
    })
        .then((data: any) => {
            console.log(color('text', `🔥 Successfully loaded ${color('variable', data.length)} slash command(s)`));
        })
        .catch((e) => {
            console.log(e);
        });
};

This is my current code, is using the PUT endpoint removing all commands and re adding them ?

[stable sun]

No

Smth is off if ur hitting 200 new commands (distinguished by name) per day

Are you constantly changing command names?

[spice knoll]

Not at all

I think I'm confused and the message "“The resource service has hit a rate limit.”
was not related to commands then ?

[stable sun]

That could mean anything

I don’t think that’s from d.js tho

[spice knoll]

The error was in my discord client

[stable sun]

Show the entire error

[spice knoll]

actually the message was (in french) "Le service de ressources est soumis à une limitation de débit"

Nothing else so that's not explicit. And my command interactions threw errors : DiscordAPIError[10062]: Unknown interaction

I went sleeping and now all is working fine so I must have hit a ratelimit somewhere

[stable sun]

Need the stack trace of the error

Ur deploy script should be separate anyways. Only run when you change the SlashCommandBuilder or add/remove a command

I need the stack trace of the original error you got though

[spice knoll]

I'll change that yeah

[stable sun]

All of the details the error prints out

I mean the other one

[spice knoll]

Related to the message I got in my discord client ?

[stable sun]

You mean the discord app?

[spice knoll]

Yeah actually I got that message in the discord app

[stable sun]

That’s not related to your bot

You’re doing smth too many times too fast in the app

[spice knoll]

Maybe clicking on a button or something

[stable sun]

Yea

[spice knoll]

But weirdly using the /ping command didnt work either after this

[stable sun]

What shows up in the app when you run it?

And console, if anything

[spice knoll]

the Unknown interaction error message in my discord.js console and the message with rate limit in my discord app

I think I've been trying to click on buttons too fast and Discord blocked me from doing any interaction

[stable sun]

Could be

If they did, then the bot shouldn’t be receiving anything

[spice knoll]

When hosting my bot should I have a separate script to deploy my commands on a guild ?

[stable sun]

Yea

[spice knoll]

Thanks for your advices.

[hybrid fable]

when fetching messages like this, are the messages cached or will this issue an api call everytime?

    const channel = await discord.client.channels.fetch(queue.queueChannelId);
    const message = await (channel as TextChannel).messages.fetch(queue.queueMessageId);

[wary coral]

it will check cache first

[hybrid fable]

thanks

[wary coral]

also for type guard use BaseChannel#isTextBased() instead of as TextChannel

[hybrid fable]

thanks, I skipped it here cause there is a lot of contracts before, so I wanted to safe 3 lines of code by doing this

[dusky storm]

How do I use Modify Current Member I tried to find in docs but I was unable to find it im using it to try to make a whitelabel system to have a custom profile picture, bio and nickname

[sharp ginkgo]

GuildMemberManager#editMe() discord.js@14.25.1
Edits the current application's guild member in a guild.

[topaz bluff]

@dusky storm guild.members.editMe()

[dusky storm]

I don't see editMe

[topaz bluff]

whats your djs version?

[dusky storm]

Just a sec im trying to update it

[topaz bluff]

That was added in 14.23.0 so you'll need at least that version but should use latest

[dusky storm]

There we go I needed to update it

what do I need to pass for the avatar image?

[topaz bluff]

i dont know for certain as I haven't used it but most likely an AttachmentBuilder

[polar karma]

https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/14.25.1/GuildMemberEditMeOptions:Interface#avatar

The docs can be clicked through and it will tell you what it accepts

[dusky storm]

How do i set it back to default so the stuff of the actual bot

[topaz bluff]

avatar: null should clear it

[sleek mural]

How do I find out who banned someone without fetching from audit log?

[topaz bluff]

The GuildBanAdd event does not display WHO issued the ban, only the reason. You have to fetch the audit log to see who perfomed the ban

[sleek mural]

So if I am making an antinuke, where it kicks if they ban over 10 people in 5 minutes and someone bans like 11 people in 1 second, will I be fetching auditlog 10 times in 1 second to find who it is and ban them, allowing them to possibly ban more people?

Or is there a auditlog event that I can listen for?

[vagrant rampart]

Is it possible to disable (hide) specific global slash command on specific server?

[bleak owl]

you would just use guild commands in that case

[vagrant rampart]

i am afraid of ratelimits actually

i want to add ability for guild owners to disable specific bot commands on their server

[tardy sable]

they can hide command by removing everyone view permission for a slash command but admins will still be able to see

[tiny condor]

I think sapphire bot does it per guild since if you disable slash commands they will not be enabled at all

So it's definitely possible but maybe for larger bots with different limits

[subtle girder]

if the bot needs 10 second to process something
I must use deferReply or discord will say interaction failed, and throw Unknown interaction when interaction.reply()

but what if StringSelectMenuInteraction.update()?
execute deferUpdate() and then update() will create a new message iirc.

[subtle girder]

so I should use deferUpdate() and editReply()?

[topaz bluff]

yes i believe so... but i would test it to make sure

[subtle girder]

yes, tysm!

[topaz bluff]

youre welcome... i haven't done it for a long time and i remember it being kinda weird that you deferUpdate but then need to editReply after... but that's just the naming of the endpoints

[bright summit]

how to get a guild's server tag? I want to directly get a guilds' server tag but not user's primary guild

I tried to hit /guilds/id on rest but I can't see anything related to server tag too

[loud quartz]

Discord never put/documented it there

So not much you can do about it

[bright summit]

yup. looks like it isn't, but is there a way to access with the rest api?

[tiny condor]

It isn't documented but all uou need is the guild id to see if a user has that tag

[bright summit]

yup I know, but I wanted to get it directly from the guild not from a member

[loud quartz]

Not much more to say than too bad

It's not there, nothing we can do about it, ask discord to add it there

[tiny blade]

can i make a form and look for a dev?
