No duplicate tickets in discord.js

[shrewd flare]

I want to make my bot to not create another ticket if there is an open ticket by the user requesting this action.

    const ticketCategory = interaction.guild.channels.cache.find((c) => c.id === "1052297483952345159");

    let existingChannel = interaction.guild.channels.cache.find(c => c.name = `Ticket-${interaction.user.discriminator}`);
    if (existingChannel) {
      return interaction.reply({ content: '❌ There is already a Ticket opened by you!', ephemeral: true });
    } else {
        return interaction.reply('test')
    }

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

But this is not working*

discord.js v13.8.0

node.js v16

No errors*

Elaborate

oh wait

In JavaScript, = is used for assignment, == for loose equality, and === for strict equality checks.

x = 1; // assigning x to a value
'1' == 1 // true
'1' === 1 // false

It doesn't work again

let existingChannel = interaction.guild.channels.cache.find(c => c.name == `Ticket-${interaction.user.discriminator}`);

case sensitive

channel names are lowercase

[fringe edge]

Don't use the find method to query a Collection by key (mostly the associated id)

- someCollection.find(structure => structure.id === "348607796335607817")
+ someCollection.get("348607796335607817")

Also this ^

For ticketCategory declaration

Thanks this worked

This will fail for two different members having the same discriminator though…

[shrewd flare]

he better use user name or user id

[amber pelican]

yes and no. Best I‘ve seen is put the user id in the channel‘s topic and filter by that, keep the channel names as incrementing numbers instead.

Because usernames can contain characters invalid for channel names (so they‘d get stripped and not be equal anymore), ids are long and might not be valid channelnames by that
