Hey everyone!
I recently migrated from Pycord to Discord.js due to the new Components V2 system, and while I’ve got most things working, I’m struggling with something that was much more seamless in Python.
I’m trying to handle admin/mod logs (like nickname changes, member joins/leaves, etc.), but I’m running into issues where the data feels stale or inconsistent — for example, logging old usernames or getting outdated member data.
I’m assuming this is related to how Discord.js handles caching, but I’m unsure if I’m doing something wrong, or if I just need to restructure my approach entirely.
I’d love any insight or examples of best practices for reliable mod log systems in Discord.js. I’m not here to bash the library — I just want to get this right and appreciate how much flexibility Discord.js gives once I figure it out 😅
Is there any straightforward “view” system or better pattern you recommend to avoid this?
I’m used to systems like Python/Pycord where caching was a bit more predictable. Not looking to reinvent a caching layer if I can avoid it, just wondering what the best practice is for keeping things accurate. Appreciate any advice! Maybe my timing is off and I should cash more often? Or less not sure.
