upper oracle Hi, so i want to have embed text stored in json file and then like showed, and i...

well how are you getting the fields?

#

also those are incorrect keys, its just name, value and inline, without the numbers

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

i know, but i want to have it limited

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:10 PM

#

what do you mean limited?

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

im making discord bot creator and now im doing templates

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

there is no point in having numbers in the keys, array items have indexes you know

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

im too lazy to do it when this is simplier

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

this really isnt

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:11 PM

#

its not final just scratch

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:12 PM

#

okay well what was the question

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:12 PM

#

#

description and thumbnail works, but fields doesnt

#

inline does

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:13 PM

#

because you are surrounding the string with ""

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:13 PM

#

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:13 PM

#

yeah

#

no point in putting it in template strings though

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:14 PM

#

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:14 PM

#

oh

#

lol

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:14 PM

#

thats why

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:14 PM

#

fields is an array

#

not an object

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:14 PM

#

and how can i use these values in embed?

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:15 PM

#

use <Array>.map() or something

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:16 PM

#

lookin on it

#

#

will it work same when i have it in json?

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:17 PM

#

why wouldnt it

#

i feel like you are overcomplicating things for yourself

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:18 PM

#

so i can you like persons.map(getname) in embed as string?

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:20 PM

#

i dont think you understand basic js to be honest

upper oracle Nov 5, 2022, 8:20 PM

#

just askin to be sure i dont have to waste time on it

limber spire Nov 5, 2022, 8:21 PM

#

waste time on what

#

i still have no clue what you're trying to do exactly

#

just remove the numbers on the fields keys
