any way to get the user from userID?

[reef geyser]

i want to know this

[pine geyser]

member: <Guild>.members.fetch("id")
user (if you don't need guild data or don't have a guild available in the context): <Client>.users.fetch("id")

either will reject the returned promise if not a part of a guild (only for member) or wrong id

[reef geyser]

that didnt seem to work

[pine geyser]

well, that is how it works

if that didn't work, elaborate

[reef geyser]

lemme do it and send u the logs

client.users.fetch(userid).then((user) => {
    console.log(user);
}).catch(console.error);```

[pine geyser]

why are you fetching a user if you have one nayways?

oh, nvm, userid, i read user.id

[reef geyser]

mhm

and this worked

my god

every time i seek for help it starts working for no reason

lol

[pine geyser]

questionable

code tends to be more or less determinisitc

[reef geyser]

really

[pine geyser]

yeah, literally impossible

you can say really as much as you want

[reef geyser]

the only issue here is that the banner doesnt seem to work for some reason

[pine geyser]

odd
i do know you need to fetch the user, because the user data we usually get doesn't include it but... that's quite literally what you are doing with that

ah, it is cached, so the fetch short-circuits
(fetch always tries to hit the cache before the api and resolves with the cached user data, if available)

force-fetch (so it actually hits the API)

.fetch(id, true)

[reef geyser]

okay

theres another issue

[pine geyser]

that is turning into base js now

[reef geyser]

how can i bring the user value outside of the block

[lime lotus]

Resources to understand Promise:
• MDN: learn more
• Guide: learn more
• JavaScript info: learn more

[pine geyser]

the "user" variable is only valid within the then callback function
anything that needs to happen afterwards needs to be within that scope

[reef geyser]

yeah so how can i bring it outside of that

[pine geyser]

you don't

[reef geyser]

oh

so it looks like its useless in that case?

[pine geyser]

what?

[reef geyser]

the main point of getting the user info is using it elsewhere

[pine geyser]

i think you should read both what i just said as well as the resources in the tag above

without understanding promises this will be a bit of a pain. anything we do that hits the API will return a promise, familiarising yourself with them is def. recommended

[reef geyser]

okay alright

[reef geyser]

so apparently a promise is a value that a function returns ?

[pine geyser]

fetch returns one, yes
