promize a message

[tepid citrus]

i dont see a point to promisifying a promise

[teal hinge]

you'll see in a few seconds

[tepid citrus]

okay

[teal hinge]

but i'm new on promise async await

i may do shit

but i don't know how to do else than my way :/

[tepid citrus]

just explain why you need to promisify a promise

[teal hinge]

yup

https://github.com/C0casio45/bot_onet/blob/dev/bot_modules/faceit.js

Ok

I have a piece of code in that file who are using a token stored in a database

[tepid citrus]

uhuh

[teal hinge]

The problem is that I need to refresh this token

[tepid citrus]

yeah

[teal hinge]

and only user can do it (thanks to faceit :/)

[tepid citrus]

yeah i still dont get you

[teal hinge]

the bot in that way need to ask for the new token

[tepid citrus]

awaitMessage returns a promise after the user chats

[teal hinge]

yes like this

[tepid citrus]

yeah so why do you need to promisify it

[teal hinge]

but i need to return this

[tepid citrus]

i dont see a need for that

you can just use async await or return the resolved data from the promise of the "other function"

[teal hinge]

to get it here

[tepid citrus]

do you know how promises work?

[teal hinge]

🥴

[teal hinge]

I have an idea

[tepid citrus]

you seem to be putting everything into a promise

even promises

[teal hinge]

I will rephrase

I need to return the result of the dbquery

[tepid citrus]

mhmm

i assume that returns a promise

of your result

[teal hinge]

you see where my problem is ? x)

[tepid citrus]

no

[teal hinge]

uh

[tepid citrus]

you literally

resolve the promise

it will wait for the promise to finish

before executing the code

// pseudo-code
function fn returns promise;

var data = await fn(); // await resolves the promise, so no code after this line will run until the promise is resolved

[teal hinge]

serious ?!

[tepid citrus]

yes

thats how promises work

[teal hinge]

I need to make that as a promise ?

[tepid citrus]

when you resolve the promise

no omg

[teal hinge]

so it will return "undifined" in this case

[tepid citrus]

i do not understand

why

you need to make everything a promise

async function fn() returns a promise too

no need to use new Promise

and you can use await

please learn what promises are, without this knowledge i really have no clue how to help you

[teal hinge]

Am i wrong ?

I ussualy work with threads on c# so I know that part

[tepid citrus]

c# is not js

[teal hinge]

I know

[tepid citrus]

promises are not threads

[teal hinge]

but the bacground work is the same

[teal hinge]

In what way are they different

[tepid citrus]

omg i really

i have no clue how to get this through to you

that you dont promisify a promise

[teal hinge]

I know that (And I'm not proud of it) but I have no clues how to make that functionnal and cleaner

[tepid citrus]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25082867/how-are-promises-implemented-in-javascript-without-threads

they dont even need threads

[teal hinge]

I know, the purpose of a promize is to block the main script and do his stuff

in that way the main script can get the response of the promise

that's what i need

[tepid citrus]

then just resolve the promise from awaitMessages?

ok i really

dont know how to help you

im sorry for wasting your time

and my own time

i hope you find the solution somewhere but i have no clue how to help anymore

[teal hinge]

I will run the code without the promize

[teal hinge]

ok that's what i'm gessing i'm getting undifined

[tepid citrus]

please dont ping me

thank you
