What's the best package for service-to-service calls..

[rough rampart]

I'm working on a project which includes vite, express and discord.js. I'm not using express along with discord.js. So from express, I need to make a request to discord.js to do some process and i should get it's progress log (manual, put a code where you need the log). I researched but still confused..

I‘m just as confused by your question. You don’t use express along with express? What kind of request do you want to do to discord.js (assuming you just mean a REST request to discord API you should use @discordjs/rest or /core instead of full discord.js)

[fading thicket]

Can you rephrase your question. Currently, it's very confusing

[rough rampart]

router.post('/events', async (req, res, next) => {
    res.setHeader('Content-Type', "text/event-stream");
    res.setHeader('Cache-Control', 'no-cache');
    res.setHeader('Connection', 'keep-alive');

    res.write(`data: ${JSON.stringify({ message: "Saving Data", progress: 25 })}`);

    setTimeout(() => {
        res.write(`\ndata: ${JSON.stringify({ message: "Creating Role", progress: 50 })}`);
    }, 3000);

    setTimeout(() => {
        res.write(`\ndata: ${JSON.stringify({ message: "Assigning Role", progress: 75 })}`);
    }, 6000);
    
    setTimeout(() => {
        res.write(`\ndata: ${JSON.stringify({ message: "Completed..", progress: 100 })}`);
    }, 9000);
    setTimeout(() => {
        res.end();
    }, 12000);
    
    res.on('close', () => {
        res.end();
    })
})

This is a sample code which returns some stream data using express.. On each, I need to make a request to bot side and i should get a response also... I implemented it using socket io but IT'S A LOT OF EVENTS

[chilly gyro]

what kind of request and what is "bot side" here? another node process running your bot with djs? djs running in the same process? or direct requests to discord without having a logged in djs bot with gateway connection?

[rough rampart]

another node process with discord.js

[rough rampart]

with api?

[chilly gyro]

what kind of request?
and what do you mean by "with api"?

[rough rampart]

but you know, dealing discord api with discord.js is kinda ezzz

[rough rampart]

request = request to start a process like creating a role with the name passed from the above code, assign the created role to a member
with api = by using discord api mannually in the express node process

[chilly gyro]

then use either @discordjs/rest to send the raw requests or @discordjs/core to have typed functions for the request routes

[lime shadow]

GuildsAPI#addRoleToMember() @1.2.0
Adds a role to a guild member

[rough rampart]

oke... thank you for the response. Let me see if I've any other doubts.. really thanks

[rough rampart]

oke, this package helps me a lot.. but i think i should connect with discord.js application to handle them properly.. so is there any packages which i can use for service-to-service calls? like I need to request (a process to create) and i should get a responce from the djs node process

[chilly gyro]

make an API server with express

[rough rampart]

yeah. I created it.. But i don't like using express along with djs

[chilly gyro]

So you want to do it. While not doing it… what exactly is it you want?

[rough rampart]

I just need to request a process from the express application to djs node process (both are different applications)..

so for that, what's the best package for service-to-service calls ( i should get a responce too)

[chilly gyro]

„Request a process“? Wdym by that?

[rough rampart]

to create a role or something related to djs

[chilly gyro]

And why are you

• not doing the API request to discord that does that from the express app or
• run the express endpoint from the djs app?

Because what you call service-to-service calls is nothing else but an API

[rough rampart]

something like realtime thing?

[rough rampart]

kinda confused myself.. lemme research something

[chilly gyro]

I‘m sorry but it‘s hard to follow what you mean… yeah
