[radiant kraken]

definitely not copied from node.h

[earnest phoenix]

Never

[boreal iron]

Is that the code to start a rocket? Looks like so…

[radiant kraken]

yes

because v8 is blazingly fast 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

[quartz kindle]

i never understood dafuq does tolocalchecked to

[boreal iron]

Damn and I thought v1 and v2 was dangerous but v8

Oof

[earnest phoenix]

It starts your car's V8 engine blazingly fast

[radiant kraken]

it's like unwrapping an Option type

in v8, there is v8::MaybeLocal, which is basically the Nullable version of v8::Local

[earnest phoenix]

Do you think Tim knows Rust?

[radiant kraken]

asidjjdfijdsfjdsifsdf

just think of it like ?String

[quartz kindle]

so toLocalChecked turns a MaybeLocal into a Local? like a null check?

[radiant kraken]

yes

[quartz kindle]

makes sense

[radiant kraken]

if it fails it will crash the v8 engine

[quartz kindle]

i prefer using node-addon-api tho

[radiant kraken]

awesome stuff

[quartz kindle]

gets rid of all that bs for me

:^)

[radiant kraken]

same

i personally use and prefer napi-rs

[wooden ember]

bruh i found out why the audio would die on my bot if it was left in a chat for too long

was nothing to do with my shit internet

just didnt have noSubscriber: NoSubscriberBehavior.Play setting before

dumb how that had to require restart to get audio to work after though

[rustic nova]

sounds like the player was defined in a global static scope, causing the entire bot to no longer work

[green kestrel]

got some interesting stats to share here

these figures are for the last month, up till now

on my bot

seems message commands are still winning out, but only just

i expect that over time, the message commands section of this chart will go down

[sudden geyser]

Intriguing.

[green kestrel]

this is on a bot with the message intent, where both types of command are still offered, with a push to get people to try the slash commands

[rustic nova]

wait until the grace period is over

then check your stats again

or is that stats from your bot

wtf, does cloudflare provide google certificates?

our cloudflare domain has a google certificate wtf

[green kestrel]

thats the stats from my bot @rustic nova

[rustic nova]

ye then thats because of people being used to the text based ones

[fast bronze]

this is my error rn my friend told me to registerFont but im not familiar with canvas so i legit have no idea what to do

this happened before i redownloaded node-canvas package

after i downloaded

need help since i dont rlly know canvas

[earnest phoenix]

The registerFont() method is to register new fonts for Canvas to use, you need to provide the path to the font file you want to register and give it a family name

For example

import { registerFont } from 'canvas';

registerFont('./my-font-file.ttf', { family: 'MyFont' });

The documentation for the registerFont() method:
https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas#registerfont

[feral aspen]

In an express application, is it possible whereas if a form that has an input button, example:

<form id="inputwords" class="mb-5" method="post" action="/search-word">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-12">
            <input type="submit" value="Send Message" class="btn btn-primary rounded-0 py-2 px-4" id="wordsubmit">
            <span class="submitting"></span>
        </div>
    </div>
</form>

It would be disabled after it gets pressed.

Now, when I don't have such said feature, the post method works, however, when I have it whereas after the button is pressed, it would be disabled, the post method doesn't function, why that? Moreover, what's the alternative way?

My current code:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#inputwords").submit(function (e) {
        $("#wordsubmit").attr("disabled", true);
        return true;
    });
});

[last tapir]

im no expert but according to school, theres an onSubmit attribute you can use with forms

[cinder patio]

honestly why are you using JQuery and <form> and not a nice front-end framework

[last tapir]

use that, use document, get id of button and disable

[manic crane]

i am getting this error i am not working on ts

duh everyone stop typing after i come

[cinder patio]

It literally says how to solve the error

did you read it

[last tapir]

he using bootstrap

i think, cause of the classes

[boreal iron]

still doesn't change the fact he's using jQuery

[last tapir]

now, again im no expert, but what is the better solution to so

what he should use instead

[feral aspen]

Oh, what instead, then?

[boreal iron]

Do you wanna disable the button permanently?

if so, just add a css class which prevents user from any input

[feral aspen]

How so? Example, if possible.

[boreal iron]

oops once again

.no-select
{
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    pointer-events: none;
    user-select: none;
    cursor: default;
}

$(document).ready(function()
{
    $("#wordsubmit").on("click", function()
    {
        $(this).addClass("no-select");
        ...
    });
});

[ancient nova]

wow

[boreal iron]

you can of course remove the class later if needed, after time, after the submit event etc.

[ancient nova]

you can do write that wayy better FakE or is that not javascript?

I can't tell

[boreal iron]

don't forget to add any form validation if there are fields the user has to fill out, or the button is disabled (even on an invalid input since it has been pressed)

[boreal iron]

javascript -> jquery and the upper one is css of course

[cinder patio]

React, Vue, Solid.js, Svelte

[feral aspen]

Well, I'm mostly with Express.JS when it comes to back-end.

[cinder patio]

that's for the front-end

[ancient nova]

I used jQuery for selections before, but it's not actually all that good

better way is just to use document.querySelector(...)

and I think there is a builtin .onClick function for the querySelector as well

[boreal iron]

but it's not actually all that good

it's literally just native JavaScript, not more or less, it just tries to get rid of compatibility issues in browsers etc., still only native JS

so, there's no better or worse

[ancient nova]

using $ to select didn't always work for me, when I was modding that IO game using the jQuery way messed the script up too much

querySelector always worked so far

[boreal iron]

oh god... i dunno what to say

[feral aspen]

I mean, if I'm making a really simple website, that won't bother, no?

And I mean a seriously simple one.

Not a portfolio, or the next google.

[ancient nova]

idk maybe it was fault on my end, but I honestly don't think so, I even tried importing a jQuery package to fix, but it never worked after that

[cinder patio]

you'll never have to use jquery in 2022

[ancient nova]

yeah^

[cinder patio]

document api does a better job

[ancient nova]

exactly

[boreal iron]

dude the $ is just an identifier of jquery() function NOT MORE, you can also call jquery() the entire time instead of using the shortcut $

[ancient nova]

it was never defined in the first place

[neon leaf]

does anyone know why requests wont come trough? this is my current code, 25252 is open

[boreal iron]

where do u host the code?

at home?

[neon leaf]

no, on a linux vps

[boreal iron]

well then check the default input policy for your firewall as well as the one your provider may put before the server

[neon leaf]

well going to it on my browser works

[boreal iron]

you need to allow incoming requests on that port (TCP)

oh really

does the auth key matches the one on topgg then?

[neon leaf]

webkey is this:

[boreal iron]

make sure both are matching each other exactly

[neon leaf]

they are

[boreal iron]

if you still have trouble, choose a different auth key, press save on topgg a few times, update the one in your code, try test send again

also check the webserver log if the incoming request is visible

*is logged

*has been logged

errr whatever

[neon leaf]

not sure how I would do that, there is no reverse proxy in place that could log it

[boreal iron]

not sure if express has a way of logging the requests, but I assume it has

still try what I told you above before

that mostly fixes the issue

you can also try to remove the auth key from topgg and your code

also hit save a few times

(on the site)

[quartz kindle]

instead of the dbllistener just do .post("dblwebhook", (req,res) => {})

that will give you the ability to log

btw what is your webhook url?

[neon leaf]

I just copied the code from here https://docs.top.gg/libraries/javascript/, but yes, ill try

[quartz kindle]

that you put in top.gg

[neon leaf]

http://mydomainthatisactuallytherebutiwontshow:25252

[boreal iron]

oh didn't ask him about that so far... lol

[quartz kindle]

youre missing the /dblwebhook

[boreal iron]

oh your forgot the path

[neon leaf]

yup, that was it

last issue,

[boreal iron]

well make webhook listener an async function and await fetch

[feral aspen]

If I want to host a website on a vps by configuring a reverse proxy with NGINX...

I'm currently following my hosting provider's documentation, and it mentions to:

create a A record within your DNS manager pointing to your server’s IPv4 address

However, I'm not sure about this: https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/JIM5FSGuZA .

What should it exactly be?

[neon leaf]

how exactly would I do that? If it helps, here is the full code, https://pastes.dev/L4Vmc4xWyg

[boreal iron]

webhook.listener(async (vote) => …
then await …fetch(…);

[boreal iron]

Your domain probably has an accurate A record already

The proxy doesn’t require an hostname but can also point to an IP address

[neon leaf]

thanks

[boreal iron]

If you’re proxy server also runs on the same machine then it’s useless

Usually the goal is to hide the actual webserver and/or do load balancing

[neon leaf]

is there any way of getting a users locale? i know interaction.guildLocale exists but first of, im not in an interaction and second, a dm isnt a guild afaik

[boreal iron]

The interaction should also provide locale which is the user locale

Impossible Outside interactions

[neon leaf]

can I somehow turn that into an interaction?

[boreal iron]

No

Any interaction is always triggered by an user

[neon leaf]

could I just attach an button to that that just edits the message accordingly?

[boreal iron]

Still… unless somebody is actively pressing the button you won’t receive an interaction event

An (inter)action can only be triggered by an user

Either by executing a command, selecting an option im a select menu, pressing a button etc.

[lyric mountain]

Simply save the user locale when they first use a command, you have a database already

[neon leaf]

oh yeah, didnt think of that

[boreal iron]

Well I mean it can change at any time

[neon leaf]

well, if he had it before imma guess he still understands that lang

[boreal iron]

True but why do you need it outside an interaction instance?

[neon leaf]

to tell a user he voted in his locale

[lament rock]

Can someone with regex experience help me?
I'm trying to make a regex that matches audio or video content types which can include application/ogg and application/x-mpegURL, but I do not want it to match any other application/.* content types.
This is my regex so far:
/^(?!application\/json)(audio|video|application)\/(.*)$/
But instead of just application/json, I want it to discard the match if it isn't application/ogg or application/x-mpegURL

[earnest phoenix]

Can't you just do /^application\/(?:ogg|x-mpegURL)$/? And then just match against it

I may be misunderstanding what you're actually looking for, but ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lament rock]

True

[boreal iron]

You should define a default and fallback language in your language handler

[lament rock]

Imposes challenges I'll need to figure out for myself, but ok

[boreal iron]

Passing the locale to it

Once a locale isn’t available you fall back to your default

[pure sage]

how i can link my bot server counting to html website

[lyric mountain]

go to your bot's edit page in top.gg and copy the server count badge embedding code (if that's what u mean)

[pure sage]

icant find it

[lyric mountain]

because your bot isn't approved yet

[pure sage]

ok

ho time is taken to approve

[lyric mountain]

1-2 weeks ig

[gleaming niche]

how can I improve my bot's response times cause it sometimes doesn't respond in time and I receive an unknown interaction error and my application doesn't respond with a message but still executes the rest of the code fine. it's coded in python

[wheat mesa]

defer the message before trying to reply

and before you do anything else in the command

[fast bronze]

@earnest phoenix do i need to add import or just registerFont also any tutorial or etc because i aint much familiar but i did get it but got this font error i will try ltr

[lofty hamlet]

Hello, my Top.gg's bot picture does not work and same for: Widgets

[bright thorn]

Umm which os is better to host dc bots

[graceful cobalt]

Guys wtf, my bot CTR% is only 3!! What can I do to possibly increase it? Like how to make it more appealing? Can anyone dm me with a good short description please as I am too bad in marketing.

[graceful cobalt]

Click refresh data and then edit save the bot

[lofty hamlet]

Thanks

[quartz kindle]

whats CTR% lol

[drifting cairn]

eh

like auction tag ctr?

[graceful cobalt]

Click through rate

[graceful cobalt]

Yea, I just want to make my bot ad more appealing

[drifting cairn]

what tag

[graceful cobalt]

Anyone can suggest me a better description

[graceful cobalt]

Not tag, it means the ratio of the number of people who saw and ad and the number of people who clicked the ad

[drifting cairn]

yeah what tag is the ad on?

e.g.

[spring condor]

is there any giveaway

[graceful cobalt]

Oh, it's on Fun Tag slot 2

[graceful cobalt]

Wrong server, no

[quartz kindle]

never used top.gg ads so idk what usually makes them work or not work

[drifting cairn]

thats pretty much the average ctr for that tag tbh but if you want more clicks you've gotta intrigue people to click on it

[graceful cobalt]

How do I do that exactly

[drifting cairn]

idk what your bot does so i couldn't say

you could work on your bots description page to begin with, theres a bunch of things like stretched/warped images etc...

[graceful cobalt]

Oh yea, I will fix that, but can u try to provide me with a better html description? Bc this one I made from onlinehtmleditor.dev

[drifting cairn]

im not a front end dev so i wont be much help, sorry

[graceful cobalt]

Oh it's ok np, but can u like suggest me a creative and appealing short description for the bot please?

[drifting cairn]

that should rlly be something you decide for your self, just take a look at other bots with features like yours and take inspiration, but don't copy it exactly cuz that's stupid

[graceful cobalt]

Ye thnx

Btw can u tell me which pfp looks better

[drifting cairn]

uhhh

i like the 2nd one

[graceful cobalt]

Oh ok

Ty

[lyric mountain]

tbh, those colored pixels around the face look like a bad crop

oh so it is indeed a crop

[civic scroll]

i thought they were nfts for a second

[abstract schooner]

Hello everyone, how do I make a system so that every time a member votes for my bot, it returns a certain message in a certain channel?

[elder oxide]

macOS 13 beta support desktop audio recording now

AND THEY ADD ALARM TO THE CLOCK APP! 👏

[wheat mesa]

woah basic features I would expect in $2000+ computers already have been added after a short 15 years!

[earnest phoenix]

Apple is honestly a joke when it comes to this stuff

They literally don't bother adding the most basic/important features and delaying them to be implemented after a very long time

Sounds like Discord when they delayed slash-commands for 6 years, and then implemented them

[lyric mountain]

they are, apparently

[lyric mountain]

use top.gg webhooks

[neat ingot]

so ive had reports from a client for a bot I wrote... basically, people are inviting the bot to their server, but the bot is never joining their server... this has only just started being reported recently, the bot is in 1700-ish servers. Anyone got any ideas? (bots written in discord.js)

also: when i tried to test, the bot joined every server i added it to, so it doesnt happen every time (i wasnt able to reproduce it once)

[lyric mountain]

maybe it's a bot kicking yours

don't u have logs like "Just joined server XXX"?

if not, try logging that to see if the event fires at all

[neat ingot]

it didnt seem to be firing at all ~ but im now being told that the person had 50 integrations on their server already ~ so fk em, thats their problem 😄

[lyric mountain]

ah yeah, that might be it

discord has limits on how many stuff can exist at once (hence why topgg doesnt invites bots here anymore)

[neat ingot]

yea lol, honestly, if they told me they had so many integrations at first i would have saved them hours of stressing 😄

[violet haven]

hello guys! i have a discord bot running with akairo but akairo isn't supporting discord js 13 and 14

do u know another framework that works with djs v14?

[wheat mesa]

I don’t know what akairo does but I would strongly recommend against using any frameworks that add on to djs

They’re subject to breaking changes and usually aren’t very well maintained

[violet haven]

i already found one named commando but it works with djs 13 and i can't see if it works with 14

[wheat mesa]

And you don’t even need them

Just use djs v14 without using a framework on top of it

[violet haven]

ok i'll do that

i'm having an issue with akairo rn cause some methods are deprecated T_T

guess i'll have to put many hours of work in it

thx for advice

[eternal osprey]

hey, how would i get the position of the array in the sortedDB?

let sortedDB = Object.entries(userdatabase).sort(function (a, b) {
    const [ aKey, aValue ] = a; // unpack a
    const [ bKey, bValue ] = b; // unpack a
    return (Number(bValue.points) + Number(bValue.points)) - Number(aValue.won) + Number(aValue.points) 
  });```

[lyric mountain]

not many tbh, command handlers aren't as hard as many people think

it all depends on how intricate you want it to be

[lyric mountain]

why is userDatabase a map to begin with?

most (if not all) databases allow sorting without requiring manual operations

also considering ur current code, is it really supposed to sum bValue.points twice?

[violet haven]

i know but i have to refactor my code on all my commands coz they're made with akairo

[lyric mountain]

well, yeah, u can also try to mimic their structure to keep current code

I imagine you're using single-command files right? if so you can try using "Replace in files" feature (if your IDE/editor has that)

[lament rock]

I made an entire cacheless Discord.js so I could only rewrite a portion of my bot

not worth it

[eternal osprey]

how do i reply to an interaction without actually replying?

So like ghost replies

[lyric mountain]

defer

[lyric mountain]

weeell yeah, the whole purpose of caching is to not have a slug-slow bot or abuse ratelimits

[lament rock]

No I mean my bot ran fine aside from having memory issues because the imported module size was absurdly large

[eternal osprey]

interaction.deferReply() right?

thanks

[lyric mountain]

yes

[lament rock]

discord.js' size and complexity is its downfall

[boreal iron]

Are modals yet actually available on all clients? also the "old" android client?

can't really find a client support list

[wheat mesa]

I believe modals are supported on all devices, but not all field types iirc

[ancient nova]

what yalls opinion on Heroku?

[lament rock]

It sucks

free and non free tier

how it divides up resources is stupid as noisy neighbors can take over your resources

[vivid fulcrum]

paid tiers are actually pretty good

and free tiers are about to be deleted from existence

we use paid tiers at work in combination with salesforce, everything flows together perfectly and from what ive seen the uptime is almost perfect

[lyric mountain]

depends, for apis it's awesome, for bots...not so much

[neon leaf]

does someone know how I can get ten random strings from here? they shouldnt be the same and should also end up in an array

[earnest phoenix]

You can make a temporary copy of that array, initialize another array, loop 10 times to get a random element from that array and remove it from the copied array, for example:

// Original array of values to get random elements from.
const foo = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9];

// Copy the original array as we'll be mutating it to not keep on landing the same value.
const copied = foo.slice();
// The array of random elements we've gotten.
const randomElements = [];

// In this example, we're looping 5 times to get 5 random unique elements.
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
  // Get random index.
  const randomIndex = Math.floor(
    Math.random() * copied.length
  );

  // Push the random element to the array.
  randomElements.push(
    copied[randomIndex]
  );

  // Remove the element from the array from the random index so we don't land on it again.
  copied.splice(randomIndex, 1);
}

// Now the `randomElements` array has 5 random unique elements.

There definitely are other ways to do so, but this is pretty efficient if you want unique random values

[neon leaf]

thank you so much!

[earnest phoenix]

You're welcome

[ancient nova]

exactly

[lyric mountain]

css

users aren't guaranteed to be cached at any time

yep, inside <styles> block

DO NOT ADD THE FULL HTML STRUCTURE

it'll not work

use JUST <styles>/</styles>

users.fetch

do note, u cant fetch someone who's not in a mutual server

that's called hackban, u simply add the id to the banlist

if user is an id, ig so

no

u cant members.get

no

u cant fetch someone who's not in any mutual server

because the bot doesn't know they exist

hackban is, by definition, a blind ban

check if both mention and fetch didn't return anything

[boreal iron]

By fetching a (local) guild member providing this ID

Either it’s in the list or not

[wheat mesa]

Or just ban by ID either way

[thorny field]

what does a pinged role look like in text?

[sudden geyser]

Like <@&265125253443878912>

[thorny field]

i mean like how a text channel is in text #development = [#development](/guild/264445053596991498/channel/272764566411149314/)

and a pinged user @thorny field = @~/.BeastieNate5#6243

oh

it converted it

but im wonder how it is for a role

[quartz kindle]

afaik you can

[thorny field]

nvm im good guys i got it

[lyric mountain]

not without the oauth2 scope

[quartz kindle]

pretty sure i fetched many users who did not have mutual servers with my bot

when testing and stuff

you can fetch deleted users for example

[lyric mountain]

really?

[quartz kindle]

some deleted users will return 404, but others will return a valid user with a "deleted user djjejdj" username lol

[earnest phoenix]

Does anyone know how to solve this?

[quartz kindle]

pretty-ms is an ES module now

[sudden geyser]

Use import * as ms from "pretty-ms" instead (I think)

[quartz kindle]

you need to use an older version, or change your code to ESM mode, or import it using dynamic import()

the easiest way is to use dynamic imports, but dynamic import is async, so you cant do it top level, for example const ms = await import("pretty-ms") (inside an async function)

you will likely also need to use ms.default

[earnest phoenix]

Okay, i used an older version and now it works

[quartz kindle]

👍

[earnest phoenix]

has anyone got this error before?

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'component_type')

[wheat mesa]

Yes, cannot read properties of undefined is an error that has happened billions of times

But without any code to look at, it's very vague

Whatever you're doing, it's basically doing undefined.component_type

Which is an error

[wheat mesa]

@earnest phoenix explain yourself right the fuck now

[sharp geyser]

Wiat what

did that just turn into a string?

[wheat mesa]

Yes

I need an explanation

[pale vessel]

If you do -= [4] it becomes a number (-4)

It's just like [] + 1 and [] - 1

Concatenation treats it as a string and combines stringified versions of both, but substraction converts it to a number instead and performs the calculation

[sharp geyser]

there you go

I can only suggest getting either a VPS or some other trusted host for your bot instead. I'm highly suggesting a vps instead if you want your bots access to be reasonably secure:

Popular VPS providers that have reasonable prices for discord bots: #development message

The reason Prettier splits it into different lines by default is because it wants it to fit in general screen sizes instead of scrolling to the left or right to read the code

[earnest phoenix]

Literally the first option
https://prettier.io/docs/en/options.html#print-width

[crystal furnace]

I made it to 30.0000

30000

[earnest phoenix]

There's also a warning for readability purposes

[crystal furnace]

and nothing happen

:))

[earnest phoenix]

Show us how you're setting it

[crystal furnace]

I use eslint too

[earnest phoenix]

That's just too much, Prettier cannot go that far

[crystal furnace]

it's just a test and my problem still be there

[earnest phoenix]

Setting it to 500 should already suffice

Your test won't work because that's an invalid value for Prettier

[crystal furnace]

oke thanks, I will check after 30 mins

I have sth to do now

[crystal furnace]

more important I don't think my eslint working right

[earnest phoenix]

Hey there.. I'm trying to get the amount of roles in a server using DJS and it is not going well..

Here is what I have tried (attempting to following the docs):

let roleCount = 0

guild.roles.fetch().then(roles => roleCount = roles.size)

interaction.reply({ content: `${roleCount}` })```
^^ This returns an error saying content cannot be empty

I also tried just straight up:
```js
interaction.reply({ content: `${guild.roles.size}` })```

Both return errors.. Anything that I am missing?

[earnest phoenix]

There's no need to fetch roles, all roles are cached as long as you're not sharding, and you can get the amount of roles from the cache's size property, <Guild>.roles.cache.size

i forgor about cache

Thank you!

You're welcome

[boreal iron]

Interesting the upper one returns content can’t be empty

[earnest phoenix]

That's because the roleCount variable is passed before it's assigned a value, the <Guild>.roles.fetch() method returns a promise which is not resolved in this case

[boreal iron]

then(…)?

[earnest phoenix]

That does not wait for the promise to resolve, the code execution will continue as is

[lyric mountain]

async cannot modify sync context

at least not within that execution

[boreal iron]

Can you actually await it then still using then(..)?

Or would that be nonsense

[earnest phoenix]

Yes, that's what you're supposed to do

[boreal iron]

Looks like I misunderstood then() a little bit

[lyric mountain]

imo js shouldn't even allow doing such kind of operations

[civic scroll]

.then() call async

[earnest phoenix]

Basically both of this do the same thing:

let roleCount = null;

// First solution
await guild.roles.fetch().then((roles) => {
  roleCount = roles.size;
});

// Second solution
const roles = await guild.roles.fetch();
roleCount = roles.size;

[boreal iron]

It just resolves a promise without the need to use await or an async function then

[civic scroll]

it will execute on the microtask queue iirc

[lyric mountain]

like, variables passed to async context should always be effectively final

[boreal iron]

But doesn’t await it

[civic scroll]

which is after sync exec

[lyric mountain]

else u run into weird issues

[civic scroll]

if you had no choice you will have to do async IIFE

[earnest phoenix]

That's usually not done in dynamically typed programming languages because they're not strict in those cases, and these wouldn't really cause issues if you know what you're actually doing

It's basic understanding of asynchronous operations

[boreal iron]

So the main purpose is #development message

[lyric mountain]

the issues is that they usually don't know what they're actually doing

[earnest phoenix]

Yes, and it doesn't halt the code execution for that context until the promise is resolved

[lyric mountain]

at least js being monothread removes some possible concurrent variable modification issues

[boreal iron]

Ok this has been the breaking point is misunderstood

Thanks

[lyric mountain]

at topgg?

cuz iirc my css is long broken

[green kestrel]

yay got dynamically loading stats page now 😄
https://triviabot.co.uk/botstats/

[lyric mountain]

are u looking at the right shiro?

[green kestrel]

no longer so oldschool

[lyric mountain]

please make the stroke more transparent

there's no bg

[green kestrel]

i need to be able to read it

[lyric mountain]

ayo what, mine doesnt look like that lmao

but well, that image is set on the edit page

edge

ah nvm, she is there

I just didn't wait enough for it to load

[lyric mountain]

I mean the graph

the black lines look a bit odd

.theelementclass { color: #rrggbb }

use F12 to find out the classnames

[quartz kindle]

nah

[boreal iron]

nah

[lyric mountain]

the scrollbar isn't a page element

it's a browser element

technically, you can, but it's heavily browser-dependant

https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_css_custom_scrollbar.asp

browser-dependant

it might not work in other browsers

and mobile?

[ember quarry]

I am having doubt with using discord API, is it right place?

[wheat mesa]

Yes, ask away

[ember quarry]

I want to add button to my message sent using webhook, but this payload is not working as expected. Anyone having any idea about it?

{
            "embeds":[ some embed data ],
            "components": [
                {
                    "type": 1,
                    "components": [
                        {
                            "type": 2,
                            "label": "some label",
                            "url": "https://google.com/",
                            "style": 5
                        }
                    ]
                }
            ]
        }

[lyric mountain]

what's the expected vs actual result?

[ember quarry]

it is sending the embed as expected but it is not having any button in it

in response I check too, there is also component empty

[ember quarry]

this is the component I get in response

[lyric mountain]

I not sure whether u can have buttons in actual webhooks, since they're decoupled from the bot

[ember quarry]

I am adding a link button, also I googled there were some results stating that we can add actually but they are using discord.js or discord.py

I want to do it with API request

[lyric mountain]

did you check discord docs?

[ember quarry]

yes, I guess the payload for the webhook message is same as the message payload.

[lyric mountain]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook

they don't mention buttons

[ember quarry]

there was not particulary written anywhere that we can add button to webhook too but if we can add to the webhook too

[lyric mountain]

well if it's not written then you probably cant

not to be confused with interaction webhooks

[ember quarry]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#execute-webhook
its written here

that we can add components to the webhook too

[lyric mountain]

there was not particulary written anywhere that we can add button to webhook
well then it is written

did u try using the exact same structure as the example?

[ember quarry]

here is the structure I used

[lyric mountain]

also why are u doing it without any lib?

[lyric mountain]

try with the same structure

[ember quarry]

its same structure

[lyric mountain]

it's not

[ember quarry]

it is check again

[lyric mountain]

it is not

use the same structure, see if it works

[ember quarry]

I dont want to send the content, I want to send embed

[lyric mountain]

send the content for the sake of testing

[ember quarry]

ok

not working

only the content text is appearing

[lyric mountain]

is the webhook owned by the bot?

or did u create it manually?

[ember quarry]

lol, created manually 😅

I havn't seen that

[ember quarry]

lets see that too

[bright hornet]

how do you get the sticker id?

[pale vessel]

Inspect element

[thin sphinx]

hi There is a section called WebHook port for logging the voter, what should I write?

why the ping is coming 16.666666666666668 ms

why its not 16ms only

[graceful cobalt]

My background code not working

<style>
background-image: url('https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/996766515124777070/1018083952822591558/istockphoto-1200898827-612x612.jpg');
background-size: cover;
</style>

[earnest phoenix]

Probably want to look at https://www.w3schools.com/css/ and the first examples

They use background-color but it's essentially the same structure

[graceful cobalt]

So background-images don't work

[earnest phoenix]

Just look at the link...

There are all the examples and explanations you need

https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp here for just the background

Use their navbar and search for what you need

And you even made a website, so you can compare the code you sent above with the one of your website and see what's going wrong

[graceful cobalt]

I am using it in my top.gg bot page

I out that in the top.gg long description of my bot

[earnest phoenix]

That's my point

If you made a website, you know how CSS works

[earnest phoenix]

And you can compare the code here ^ with the code of your website

You will see what's going wrong pretty fast

[earnest phoenix]

Look at this either way

[graceful cobalt]

I never made a website

[earnest phoenix]

I gues you haven't made your bot's website then

Well the link I've sent has everything you need

[graceful cobalt]

Bro, like I am trying to insert css in my top.gg bot pave long description

As simply as thay

[earnest phoenix]

...

Should've been already done by now

[graceful cobalt]

@earnest phoenix I did that bruh

I sent the code too

[earnest phoenix]

No you didn't

[graceful cobalt]

this is my code -

<style>
background-image: url('https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/996766515124777070/1018083952822591558/istockphoto-1200898827-612x612.jpg');
background-size: cover;
</style>

[earnest phoenix]

https://i.imgur.com/BEFHgPt.png

And where has that gone?

Told you to look at the website, which you apparently haven't done - can't do more than that when there is even an example to copy paste

[graceful cobalt]

oh lol sorry

@earnest phoenix i did, but can pls send me an ss of what u see in ur desktop or pc?

https://top.gg/bot/995283490679574540

[earnest phoenix]

https://i.imgur.com/71b7jAn.png

[graceful cobalt]

is that good?

[earnest phoenix]

Low quality picture imo

Really blurry

[graceful cobalt]

how do make it good quality

[graceful cobalt]

i did background-size: cover

[earnest phoenix]

Don't use a 612x612 pixels picture

[graceful cobalt]

its actually 1080p

[earnest phoenix]

No

istockphoto-1200898827-612x612.jpg

[graceful cobalt]

Bro it is, its low quality cuz i did background-size: cover

[graceful cobalt]

oh

but in my gallery its very high quality

[earnest phoenix]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/996766515124777070/1018083952822591558/istockphoto-1200898827-612x612.jpg

Not really high quality to me

Though using cover won't help making it better

I'd recommend something that you don't need to cover entirely

Like a 'loopable' background or simply a solid color picture

[graceful cobalt]

Can u send me some good dark loopable backgrounds please?

[drifting cairn]

google images exists for a reason

[graceful cobalt]

Can u tell me which one looks better

[drifting cairn]

i really think you should decide that, after all it is your bots page. not mine

[graceful cobalt]

But after all others should find it interesting

Not me lol

[drifting cairn]

everyone has a different perception on things like that, not everyone will like it. So I'm not really one to say, just go with your gut feeling.

[graceful cobalt]

@drifting cairn can u tell me what u see now?

https://top.gg/bot/995283490679574540

I don't have pc so

[drifting cairn]

make it no repeat

and make it fit

[graceful cobalt]

Oh I did, can u make it reload and see

[graceful cobalt]

How?

[drifting cairn]

still repeating, idk if its just cuz the previous style is just cached or what not

[drifting cairn]

using the "object-fit" value in the css

[graceful cobalt]

Idk shit about css so can u give me code pls

[drifting cairn]

nope

im willing to help you but im not gonna spoon feed you, sorry

[cobalt turret]

Hello

[graceful cobalt]

There's no sin in spoon-feeding a baby

[drifting cairn]

🤨

you're a baby on discord?

[graceful cobalt]

Baby on css

[drifting cairn]

then learn css

[graceful cobalt]

Lol

@drifting cairn can u check what u see now?

Also first click control shit r

To release cache

[pearl trail]

ah yes ctrl shit r

[drifting cairn]

lmao

i thought u put no repeat

[rustic nova]

that background really does not fit with the colorful text, fyi

[drifting cairn]

yea

@graceful cobalt your bot has a website no?

[boreal iron]

Well instead of changing all the font colors, just choose a background based on the user selected style

Also possible with css

[drifting cairn]

[civic scroll]

with javascript

embrace

[civic scroll]

background no-repeat object-fit cover

[boreal iron]

COUGH

[drifting cairn]

[civic scroll]

i mean

don't get outskilled by a prisoner amirite

[graceful cobalt]

yea

[graceful cobalt]

yea 😭

[graceful cobalt]

thnkkuu

[drifting cairn]

why not put like an iframe as the description instead of all the weird colour text or something

[graceful cobalt]

what is iframe

[graceful cobalt]

[drifting cairn]

like this

[graceful cobalt]

can u send the link of that bot page?

[graceful cobalt]

bro how do i do that?

[drifting cairn]

it’s mine, just search up spixx and you’ll find it

[drifting cairn]

search up iframe tag on google and ull see, its easier than you think it is

[graceful cobalt]

oh thans a lot

[drifting cairn]

[graceful cobalt]

https://top.gg/bot/995283490679574540

now its looking good ryt

[drifting cairn]

i’m on mobile rn i’ll check in a minute

[spark flint]

💀

@rustic nova

o its gone

i love when they forget the scam link

[rustic nova]

uwu

[graceful cobalt]

wdym?

[spark flint]

The scam was deleted

[winged linden]

yooo how can i await till interaction gets deffered before editing?

cuz some times it takes time sometimes it trys to reply before defer

anyone?

[drifting cairn]

deferring returns a promise so just await it?

[winged linden]

ah yup!! sorry stupid question lmao

[drifting cairn]

[idle coral]

Replit user here, keep getting this.

[drifting cairn]

read it

[idle coral]

I am..

const { loadCommands } = require("./handlers/loadCommands");

[drifting cairn]

and whats inside of said file?

[idle coral]

You want the entire file?

[drifting cairn]

i just want to know how you export the function

[idle coral]

Oh shoot.

Typo.

LMFAO

[drifting cairn]

[idle coral]

module.exports = {
  loadCommandss,
};

I swear I'm a goofy goober sometimes.

[drifting cairn]

lmao

[split cipher]

How do I define aProperty's type that's either a function or null?

export interface IAnInterface {
aProperty: (aString: string) => void;
}

[civic scroll]

export interface IAnInterface {
  aProperty: null | (aString: string) => void;
}

[split cipher]

Thanks

[cobalt spruce]

question

how is this made? like two infos next to each other in embed

[peak mason]

inline: true

[cobalt spruce]

❤️

[boreal iron]

tf is that resolution

[peak mason]

?

[boreal iron]

what don't u understand in that question?

[peak mason]

idk what you are referencing to

[solemn latch]

this one

[cobalt spruce]

whats wrong with it?

[solemn latch]

its just a bit weird to have a 200px wide embed I guess

[boreal iron]

good old 640x480 resolution

[solemn latch]

it goes down to 200px at 720p iirc

[boreal iron]

looks horrofying on 4k

[boreal iron]

tim, why bot not working anymore?

[boreal iron]

imagine not knowing the footer text takes text only

[knotty quartz]

I need some hosting ideas

[boreal iron]

earn some cash, rent a server

or buy a server and steal the electricity of your neighbors

[knotty quartz]

Lol.

[boreal iron]

anything free is shit and you will be limited at some point

not much more to say about it

[knotty quartz]

Agree

[lyric mountain]

AND is the second bigger field character-wise in the whole embed

for some unknown reason

[boreal iron]

The footer… yeah idk why

Proves only drunk devs working at discord

Footer only doesn’t look that bad on mobile tbh

But anything bold… eww

Nice for like short status messages without people using emoji bullshit

Since it won’t take up much space

[ancient nova]

guys guess what

my bot now only uses 150mb of ram

[civic scroll]

damn that's alot

[ancient nova]

bruh 🗿

it was 300 before

[wheat mesa]

Has literally nothing to do with your error

[ancient nova]

this is an improvement

[wheat mesa]

headUsed or rss

[ancient nova]

rss

[wheat mesa]

Ok good

[ancient nova]

plus it's around 90 servers

almost 100 gonna have to apply for the last intent before that

[lyric mountain]

meanwhile me at *cough* 1.5gb

but well, it's a tcg bot that deals with huge images so...

[ancient nova]

I talked with a dude who has an image gen bot, it uses around 10GB

[sudden geyser]

vomit

[lyric mountain]

ok 10gb is a bit too much

[wheat mesa]

Cake’s notsobot uses around 100gb of ram

But it’s also on like 900,000 servers and caches nearly everything

[sudden geyser]

why though

[ancient nova]

my bot also caches everything, but I managed to optimize it a little bit

[civic scroll]

evil inc

[ancient nova]

probably has commands that need to read cache

[civic scroll]

waffle and kuu

[jovial nimbus]

Does anyone know how to call the banner for the user in the dashboard of the bot?

[civic scroll]

you should check out the gaming in general

[jovial nimbus]

I called the user's avatar and I didn't know how to call his banner 😂

[ancient nova]

there is no endpoint for the banner but you can get the hash of it

[wheat mesa]

Yeah right now it’s in 730000 guilds and 1.4 million applications (I’m assuming that’s an http server)

[ancient nova]

and u can use that hash to get the banner from the cdn

that's what I did

[wheat mesa]

That has nothing to do with the code you sent

You’re giving it an invalid bitflag, probably with Permissions

Just send it here

This code also has nothing to do with that error. Is that your only file?

[lyric mountain]

the gaming?

[spark flint]

mines in ~780 and uses probably 1gb ram

my code isn't very optimised

[civic scroll]

website update

[spark flint]

also because of the amount of events it handles i expected that

makes like 10 post requests a second

[wheat mesa]

Is that the full error you’re getting? Does it come with other stuff?

[drifting cairn]

oh my

[wheat mesa]

Mine is in 32 servers and uses 80mb, I have not worked on it in like a year

[drifting cairn]

[wheat mesa]

Was mostly a passion project for learning typescript, but now I know typescript and I don’t have a reason to work on it anymore

[drifting cairn]

mines in i think 6k and uses just about 1gb

[pale vessel]

670 servers here

[drifting cairn]

😦

[wheat mesa]

199mb is pretty good for that

[spark flint]

i need to start properly tracking my bots stats

[pale vessel]

Yeah

[wheat mesa]

Send it

In a pastebin

[spark flint]

https://hst.sh

use that

better than pastebin as its not indexed on google lmao

[ancient nova]

does anyone got a command idea

[spark flint]

for my stat tracking i just have my aweful homemade tracking system that only works on the first few days of the month because of how bad i track stuff

[drifting cairn]

bru read the error

line 19 in index.js take a look

[wheat mesa]

Still doesn’t really make sense

[drifting cairn]

huhh

[wheat mesa]

What djs version are you using?

[spark flint]

total ram across the entirety of my dedi which hosts my websites, bots etc (64gb ram dedi)

[drifting cairn]

[spark flint]

posts every 10 mins

[ancient nova]

question

is it safe to host your website on the same node as you host your bot?

[spark flint]

uh yeah

i host lots

[solemn latch]

It's best to not expose your ip if possible though

[spark flint]

also works as status monitoring too, I can tell if its my bot or the entire server

[ancient nova]

I want to but I'm reluctant to do it

[spark flint]

yeah true

[solemn latch]

But it is really common

You can always buy a second super cheap host for the website

[spark flint]

http://node1.churton.uk is exposed but mostly because I use it as my cname for many things when I cba to update my IP, also allows me to mass change all my sites

[ancient nova]

I got 2 different nodes on 2 whole different servers

[drifting cairn]

try re-installing or something

[ancient nova]

but it's harder to make a dashboard that way

[wheat mesa]

final makes no sense as a variable. I think you need to read the documentation of the library you’re using

[solemn latch]

Not much harder. It'll be just as much work if you're programming it properly

Just a bit more configuration

[wheat mesa]

And not just look at the example of the package and copy paste that into your code without knowing what it does

[ancient nova]

well what would be the easiest way to send the stuff I need from my client to the website?

[drifting cairn]

oh he sent his code never noticed

[spark flint]

websocket would work for updating stuff

[solemn latch]

Websockets, webhooks, or an api all work fine

[ancient nova]

I still use 13.8 discord.js 😁

[drifting cairn]

[solemn latch]

Which you should be doing anyway because you want to keep the processes seperate

[ancient nova]

I wanted to go with an API but I got threatened by the entirety of this server

[wheat mesa]

I think it’s because you’re giving it something that it has no idea how to handle.

[spark flint]

same

[wheat mesa]

It’s an odd error but knowing javascript it’s freaking out because it doesn’t know how to handle the object

[spark flint]

oh I use an API for my dashboard

but I'm looking into a websocket system

[ancient nova]

do interaction.reply({ content: final }); maybe? lmao

[wheat mesa]

Either way it doesn’t know how to handle it

[ancient nova]

how do you handle ratelimits?

[ancient nova]

what is final?

[spark flint]

I cache

and I also ratelimit using NGINX

[drifting cairn]

converted.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('output.pdf'))

[spark flint]

because lol

[pale vessel]

Why you sending a stream as content

Convert it to a string

[solemn latch]

You shouldn't really need a ratelimit for internal API's between your bot and webserver.

[pale vessel]

Or read the output.pdf file content after piping it

[spark flint]

I use localhost to bypass that for my bot

but I mean for dashboard

I ratelimit updating things to 10r/s

because I dont want the endpoint spammed

I also do the regular host checking etc for the dashboard specific API endpoints

[ancient nova]

yeah I got threatened by people in this server to DOS me by refreshing my website constantly 😔

[drifting cairn]

you can ignore that

[spark flint]

🤨

[drifting cairn]

doesnt mean anything rlly

[pale vessel]

What are you doing

[pale vessel]

Do this

[solemn latch]

Refreshing constantly shouldn't do anything.
Ideally things are cached in the browser and server

[pale vessel]

Use fs.readFile(outputfile, "utf8") as content

[solemn latch]

For example public pages on my site get refreshed max every 60 seconds.
Private pages update every 5 minutes.

[pale vessel]

The output file is the file you're piping the converted content to

[solemn latch]

Excluding forced refreshes(which happen server side under specific conditions)

[wheat mesa]

I think the real question is why the hell is he saving a file in the first place

[pale vessel]

I think because converted is a stream

[wheat mesa]

I don’t think it’s necessary to have operations done on the hard drive to get the value from the stream

[elfin cape]

A

[spark flint]

thats because its not a djs issue

[solemn latch]

It would need to be put all into memory though right?

[elfin cape]

Lol

[wheat mesa]

It’s going to be in memory either way

It’s not a djs issue like we’ve said

[solemn latch]

Isn't that the point of the stream? Only some of it is in memory at a time.

[wheat mesa]

It’s because you’re giving it an object that it has absolutely no idea how to handle

[solemn latch]

Oh nvm I see what you mean.

[ancient nova]

I wanna add some new commands to my bot 😔

I have no ides what to add 😔

[lyric mountain]

again?

[ancient nova]

yes 😔

[wheat mesa]

How about work on improving your current commands

[ancient nova]

I think most of my commands are as improved as they could be

[wheat mesa]

Idk about you but I dislike bots with a million commands that I’ll only use 4 commands of with a shitty experience compared to a bot with 5 very elegant and polished commands

And that’s simply not true. UX is never perfect

[ancient nova]

I meannn you're welcome to try for yourself

[wheat mesa]

I have no use for a bot like yours

[ancient nova]

I polished almost every command I have

[wheat mesa]

The only bot I use pretty often is esmBot

[ancient nova]

just to try, like run a couple commands I mean

[wheat mesa]

I don’t think your UX is perfect no matter what you say, there’s always improvements to be made

[ancient nova]

well I don't know what else I could improve in them then

[wheat mesa]

That’s the thing with software development, there’s always improvements that can be made

How about refactoring your codebase to be better 😉

It doesn’t always have to do with UX, but your experience in developing the bot

Make things easier for yourself, create modular and easily modifiable parts to your bot that all go together to improve your experience with developing, “KISS; Keep it simple stupid” and “DRY; Don’t repeat yourself”

[pale vessel]

A DRY KISS doesn't sound too good

[ancient nova]

yeah that's what I'm doing though

my entire bot is modular

[wheat mesa]

that’s all developers are going to get anyways

[pale vessel]

lmao

[wheat mesa]

I meant in your code. Not your users

[ancient nova]

I can add commands easily, I kinda stole that format from my multitool where I kinda had my own language

[ancient nova]

yeah it is

users as well though

[wheat mesa]

Still using strings for booleans?

[ancient nova]

yes, but Voltrex said it's fine 😕

if it has any performance issues I'll change it

[wheat mesa]

That’s not a very good motto to go by

[ancient nova]

so far I managed to drop the ram from 300 to 125-150

[wheat mesa]

Comparing characters one by one until they all match is much slower than comparing two booleans with a simple bitwise operation

It might not make much of a difference, but it’s still an improvement you need to make to improve your code in general

Do you use raw database calls in your command run functions?

[ancient nova]

what do you mean by that?

[ember ore]

Tortoise orm

[wheat mesa]

Like do you directly access your database via your commands

[lyric mountain]

brb gonna punch volt a litte

[wheat mesa]

You should make a class that manages those things for you so that you can modify the class easily for reasons like swapping databases in the future

That way you don’t have to go into every file and change your logic

[lyric mountain]

depending on what kind of data ur storing, not even booleans would be fine

[ancient nova]

yeah but I'm going to have to do it either way

[lyric mountain]

at least not if u need to store more than 2 bools

[ancient nova]

and I doubt I'll have to change it

so far enmap is doing fine

[lyric mountain]

enmap

please tell me ur not using enmap as a full-job database

[wheat mesa]

I’m just going to wait for the day that putting off all the improvements to your code “because it works” bites you in the ass

[sudden geyser]

that thing is still maintained?

[ancient nova]

I am 😔

[lyric mountain]

well, yeah ig

but using it as a database is blasphemy

[ancient nova]

why?

[lyric mountain]

because it's a cache

it's not meant to replace a full database

[wheat mesa]

Cache != database

You could use at as a caching layer on top of a database, but caches are in memory stores

[lyric mountain]

both enmap and redis are meant to be used like waffle said, in memory

[sudden geyser]

But it supports persistence via sqlite

[ancient nova]

yeah it's using a physical sqlite file

[lyric mountain]

tho I'd say nowadays having a intermediary caching database is kinda useless unless u got many clusters

[ancient nova]

so far it works fine

[lyric mountain]

why don't u simply use sqlite directly?

[ancient nova]

dealing with enmap is wayy easier

no need to learn SQL directly

[lyric mountain]

...

easier for simple things, you'll miss sql when u need high performance and flexibility

[ancient nova]

I mean the response time is literally in nano seconds

of course though I take the settings on boot and put them in the message property

so doing message.settings is basically like cache

[drifting cairn]

respond to the interaction lol

[ancient nova]

and its exclusive for each guild so I don't have to deal with any slowness

same with warns

[lyric mountain]

you don't have big enough tables yet

[ember ore]

Hmm yes the floor here is made out of floor

[lyric mountain]

and for raw sql, you could half that time

no joke

[ancient nova]

isn't enmap just literally sql under the hood

[drifting cairn]

so reply to the interaction instead of sending it directly into the channel

[sudden geyser]

yes

[ancient nova]

just makes it easier by using premade functions

[pale vessel]

Defer it first, I'm sure converting pdf to text takes time

[lyric mountain]

thing is, premade imposes a minimum bar for your queries

[sudden geyser]

I personally don't see what's wrong with using Enmap as a simple key-value database.

[lyric mountain]

you lose freedom when u need to do highly customized queries

[sudden geyser]

Writing queries in SQL is already a nightmare

[lyric mountain]

only if ur structure is bad

[drifting cairn]

any error?

[ancient nova]

well what if I store the higly customizable query in a json

[sudden geyser]

oh no

[ancient nova]

I basically store the key as whatever I want and pass the entire whole json as the value

then I just convert it back to json whenever I need it

it works well

[drifting cairn]

try doing what flaze said, just defer it first, then edit the reply

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/CommandInteraction?scrollTo=deferReply

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/CommandInteraction?scrollTo=editReply

yw

what about it isnt working

i have a question for you

are you new to javascript or something

alr then this makes sense

[spark flint]

should probably learn js before making the bot

would help

[drifting cairn]

yea

what they said

[spark flint]

a bot is very different to react

[sharp geyser]

while they could learn js and should

[spark flint]

https://www.w3schools.com/js/default.asp

[sharp geyser]

tell emm at least why it isnt working

[spark flint]

.then({files: [{ attachment: "output.pdf" }]})

?

interaction.reply({files: [{ attachment: "output.pdf" }]})

why defer the reply and then do .then()

i'd only recommend deferring reply when doing something that make take time to reply

[ancient nova]

is this command good enough?

[spark flint]

add spaces between commands

theres no space

[pale vessel]

Ye they're converting a pdf file to text

[drifting cairn]

1st off defer the interaction before you execute all your code not after you've executed it all because thats dum dum, remove the .then from it as well because yes. Once you get to the part where the pdf has been created, use the .editReply function and then do what you did before, pass the file in it and then boom

[lyric mountain]

wdym u cant understand banbanlistdellockdowndeltimeoutdelwarn

[spark flint]

yeah worth deferring them

await interaction.deferReply()

// do the pdf stuff

const attachment = new MessageAttachment(<whatever>, `file.pdf`)
await interaction.editReply({ files:[attachment] })```

something like that

not sure how the pdf is returned?

[ancient nova]

wdym there's a coma

[spark flint]

still add a space

command, command, command looks better than command,command,command

[ancient nova]

there is a space 💀

my phones font is just buggin

[spark flint]

ah

was gonna say

[ancient nova]

[lyric mountain]

preferrably, interrupt ur highlight after each command

like, this, see

[ancient nova]

I do that as well 😔

[drifting cairn]

[ancient nova]

my phones font does ruin everything lmao

[pale vessel]

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[drifting cairn]

yes

what flaze quoted

then make it async

lol

[spark flint]

why can't you use await

make it async then

[drifting cairn]

but?
