Basic js question

[twilit zealot]

const sharder = new Client(options)
sharder.spawn()

module.exports = sharder

So if i wanna import it to my eval cmd file i can directly do it like const sharder = require("shard.js")
And then use it's properties like sharder.ipc.send

yes, have you tried it yet?

[twilit zealot]

I'm coding after a long time so lacking basics

I'm gonna try it sir

[urban nimbus]

No

[twilit zealot]

It's not a right way ?

[urban nimbus]

no

[twilit zealot]

Umm then sir ?

What's the correct way to do it

[urban nimbus]

when you create sharder object you should pass by value through functions to where you need the properties in other files

const sharder = new Client(...)
// later , when you are reading command files maybe
command.execute(interaction, sharder)

// in file of command
execute(interaction, sharder) {
  // can use sharder here
}

But i'm using it differently

const sharder = new ShardClient(shardOptions)
sharder.spawn()

module.exports = sharder

That's all now i wanna use sharder to use it properties when i use eval command so importing it is not an option cuz I'm not loading any cmds or anything nd they r in different files

[urban nimbus]

you said you have eval command what do you mean you are not loading any commands

[twilit zealot]

Eval command is in commands folder and shard.js where I'm exporting it is a seperate file only for sharding

My sharder starts my cluster, client and then deploys cmds but in a seperate file but i only wanna use it in eval cmd so...

[urban nimbus]

Ok there is another way

use client.shard.broadcastEval

[twilit zealot]

I can't the properties i wanna use is in sharder thing and i need to do sharder.ipc... like this

So any way to export my sharder then import it somewhere else

[urban nimbus]

ok

ignore what i said before

you can do what you posted in the first message

but do not reassign anything, it is static and will end up being cached because you are exporting it

it is just bad practice if you are not using something like a singleton

and even then it is discouraged with exporting client for example

[wintry cloak]

if that's your sharder wouldn't it run in a completely different process than your eval command?
