summer wraith
dude
shrewd pilot
eh?
summer wraith
you're literally modifying the cached guilds and set all kinds of stuff null we need internally for djs to function
shrewd pilot
isnt this just posting to my api, how does it impact on d.js?
summer wraith
?
you iterate over client.guilds.cache
and SET properties
you overwrite cached data
you're not making copies, you overwrite what's there
shrewd pilot
how can i make copy from that
summer wraith
what do you need for your API? push that as an object and set it to the value those guilds have, instead of overwriting those you don't want
shrewd pilot
i need object of guilds in array
summer wraith
what part of guild data do you need?
shrewd pilot
all excpet those that i try set to null
summer wraith
unlikely, you're trying to push a class instance over a HTTP call...
push data you need, not classes
can probs .toJSON() it
shrewd pilot
but it will still have impact to djs?
summer wraith
toJSON is a method that returns an object, which you can do whatever with
no, does not affect the cached structure
-ev msg.guild.toJSON()
mint daggerBOT
shrewd pilot
why not
shrewd pilot
yes i need that for every guild in array
summer wraith
then do that
but keep your fingers away from cached structure properties
no.
dude
shrewd pilot
where then
urban stratus
push data on each guild?
shrewd pilot
fuck i broke cache everything is null
summer wraith
@neon quest yes, that does not create a deep copy.
still has the exact same issue, class instances are passed by reference
can recommend eloquent javascript in #resources
shrewd pilot
how can i reset cache lol
summer wraith
restart the bot
shrewd pilot
not working xd
summer wraith
bs, we initiate empty caches and fill them with data as it comes in
if you kill the process and let it fully restart your changes are gone
unless that code still executes, somewhere, ofc
summer wraith
that's not djs tho?
summer wraith
?
shrewd pilot
i mean my cache is broken
summer wraith
container/events/client/ready.js is package code?
summer wraith
what's the code there?
shrewd pilot
summer wraith
so you get an unhandled rejection somewhere before ready
summer wraith
log the error before trying to send it to a channel
shrewd pilot
yeah
TypeError: guilds.toJSON is not a function
at Timeout._onTimeout (/home/container/index.js:153:22)```lol
summer wraith
as said, each guild, not the collection
you didn't try to set nulls on the entire collection before either
if you want json data for all guilds, map the guild cache or sth
native nicheBOT
<:_:874569335308431382> Collection#map()
Maps each item to another value into an array. Identical in behavior to Array.map().
shrewd pilot
```js
let guilds = [];
client.guilds.cache.forEach(async (g) => {
...
where do i put that json 
summer wraith
what do you call each guild during iteration (going over all)?
shrewd pilot
wdym
summer wraith
you are iterating over your guilds cache here
and you have a variable that's assigned each individual guild
shrewd pilot
probably
summer wraith
then you should know what "g" is.
summer wraith
of class?
shrewd pilot
just tell me where do i put to json druh
summer wraith
you call toJSON on each guild
the method returns an object with guild data
push that to your array, i guess
summer wraith
show code
shrewd pilot
bruh i tried get toJSON i tried push toJSON i dont have where to put that shit
summer wraith
?
okay, so let's try this again
client.guilds is a guild manager
client.guilds.cache is the cache of that manager
a cache is a collection of values, that are mapped by a key
the key for guild cache is the guilds id
the value for a guild cache is a guild (= discord server)
.forEach(fn) the forEach method iterates (goes over) the cache and passes the values inside it to the function fn
(g) => {...} a function that takes a parameter g and executes the body ... with it
plugging the latter into the place of fn will thus iterate all guilds and assign each guild to the variable g from which you can reference it
Guild is the class the discord.js library uses to represent discord servers
the Guild class has a method .toJSON which returns JSON data for this guild
collections hold instances of classes, so in this case g will be a Guild instance, which has the .toJSON() method to return its data
so within the function body ... you get the data for each guild <theGuildInstanceWeTalkedAboutAllThisTime>.toJSON() into your array and push that to your API
summer wraith
not sure where that await is suddenly from
shrewd pilot
waits lmao
summer wraith
okay, so in summary:
you have absolutely no idea about javascript and cobble this together as you go
there is
a) no need for this function to be async
b) no need to call await, because push does not return a promise
native nicheBOT
<:_:818272565419573308> Array.prototype.push()
The push() method adds one or more elements to the end of an array and returns the new length of the array.
shrewd pilot
it littearly has no impact so why not
summer wraith
you do you, fam, you do you
shrewd pilot
well i thougth it takes time to push so i added
