[crystal wigeon]

When i use a string literal with an escaped character in knex.raw query build its throwing a syntax error for bindings, like its not accepting some bindings weirdly

it looks like its an issue, even on their github

anyone know any word around?

same

[lyric mountain]

you should really avoid using raw queries

[crystal wigeon]

Im not, it’s just an exception but I’m making sure it’s sanitised correct , the query builder takes care of it

Anyway I’ve fixed it actually.

[covert ingot]

hello, im back to programming after like a year

and im struggling to send an object to my frontend in ejs

this is my dir so far

need to send object through express from index.js to base.ejs

cant use res.render('base'...) cuz it will probably error and if it doesnt its still not practical to put that in every get

@ me if i dont reply straight away

[solemn latch]

I don't quite understand the question.

You just want to do a api request?

[covert ingot]

no

I have object i want to send to front end

and the usual way is res.render('..', { object here })

but, the thing is base.ejs is a partial, shouldve clarified that. so basically in home.ejs and other website.com/....(forgot the word) i just do <%- include('./base.ejs') %>

[quartz kindle]

you have to put it in the render function one way or another

since base is included, you put it in the render of the file that includes base

[covert ingot]

surely thats not right ? in every router ill have to put that

there has to b a middleware or something

it does exist i just forgot

maybe not a middleware but there is something

[quartz kindle]

probably yeah, look for it in the ejs docs

[covert ingot]

yh cant find it

[quartz kindle]

res.locals

inside app.use

[covert ingot]

thank u a lot

[earnest phoenix]

Hi, I have a command that does set a channel for logs. When I do /set channel and choose the channel it does work and it is being put on the database ( mongodb ) but if I want to change channel I can’t because it’s already registered in the database. It’s there any way to like overwrite the new channel on the database?

[quartz kindle]

databases have an update command

how did you save it as? like what is the structure/model/schema like?

[earnest phoenix]

I will attach the schema and the command!

Schema: https://srcb.in/OxbUwRz31g
Command: https://srcb.in/CaGtCwe6ed

[quartz kindle]

it should be working, youre doing the correct command

the thing is your if

youre only updating if the guild id is not found in the database

because of the if(!result)

so you need to change that

[earnest phoenix]

What should I change that into?

[quartz kindle]

you should be able to figure it out, like when do you want to allow the update to work? if you just remove that if it will always update. if you dont want to always update but only under certain conditions, then you need to put what those conditions are in the if

const bot = new Discord.Client({ autoReconnect:true, intents: [ Discord.Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Discord.Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES, Discord.Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_VOICE_STATES ]});
``` put my bot on another server that just had a new os installd and now nothing works because js updated a milion versions and now the code above no longer works. aparenly d.js "doesn't suport flags" anymore from what i have looked at. What is the new way of writing the code above so that it works again?

Java.net

[sharp geyser]

I have the 7.0

[slender wagon]

What linux OS would u guys suggest for a discord bot

Or for hosting anything lol

[wheat mesa]

pretty much any distro is probably fine as long as you're not using the graphical version of it

[slender wagon]

Any in particular?

[marsh lark]

Most popular I'd say is ubuntu

[slender wagon]

How about rocky linux

[marsh lark]

If you want to use it

[sharp geyser]

Why not just stick with debian/ubuntu

[civic scroll]

debian is goofy

(idk linux)

[radiant kraken]

windows is a good distro

[hasty falcon]

hi, sorry if i wrong channel, i want ask, how to get the server count?
do bots have to be verified?

[deft wolf]

No, you need to make a request to top.gg api

With server count/shards count

main file:
 let builder = new Builder(interaction);```

builder.js file:
```js
class Builder {
  #interaction;
  #ranking = {
    Bronze: ":Bronze:",
    Silver: ":Silver:",
    Gold: ":Gold:",
    Diamond: ":Diamond:",
    Platinum: ":Platinum:",
    Ace: ":Ace:",
    Grandmaster: ":Grandmaster:",
    Legend: ":Legend:",
  };
  constructor(interaction) {
    this.#interaction = interaction;
    console.log("builder has been created");
  }

let me guess i should use export class? Currently giving error: builder not defined, yet it's shown in the vsc suggestion menu...

i thought that it had the same way of creating a class as in java

So if i understand it correctly, first export the class, import it in the main and then instiantate a new class.

[desert verge]

I need help!
I don't know why it does that
It is super strange why it doesn't switch

      }

      await damage(aimedChara, chara, repeatCallback);
    }

the tour variabe is outside the startFight function, and inside it doesn't work too

Alright I found a fix, now, tour switches 1 to 0, 0 to 1 in the damage function

[tulip ledge]

Idk what tour is supposed to be but if you’re using 1 and 0 as falsey variables it’s best to just use false and true

[desert verge]

1 is faster to write and 0 too

[desert verge]

tour is a french word, but don't know how to translate in english

Okay it's a round or turn

[tulip ledge]

Ah so it switches turns basically?

[desert verge]

yup

[tulip ledge]

then why don't you make it recursive?

so in your damage function you do like:

function damage(dealer, receiver, ...) {
  ...
  // Deal damage
  if (receiver.health <= 0) {
    // Do stuff when receiver died
  } else damage(receiver, dealer, ...);
}

[desert verge]

Uh

I didn't know how to switch parameters

Thank you

[tulip ledge]

no problem

but it works now?

[desert verge]

Yup, I'll optimize my code with what you proposed later

I'm doing the dashbord

[tulip ledge]

cool

good luck

also if you're optimizing

[desert verge]

But I just don't know how to put stats on the center of the right box

[tulip ledge]

calculate the stats before the damage function because now you're calling the api like 20 times

when you only need to do so 2 times

[desert verge]

It's what I'm doing

[tulip ledge]

and add it to the receiver and dealer objects

ah alright

[desert verge]

I just get damage, resistance, health first, then calculate, then just change the health stat

[tulip ledge]

yes ok but

in your damage function you sset the health every time

[desert verge]

Yes because it changes

[tulip ledge]

why not save it to the dealer and receiver object and then only save it after someone dies

this way if the bot crashes, the user's don't lose health

[desert verge]

Aahh

[tulip ledge]

and you save yourself api traffic

[desert verge]

Alright I see

[tulip ledge]

I mean it's fine how you're doing it

[desert verge]

So i just create a local variable ?

[tulip ledge]

or save it to the objects of the dealer and receiver

like dealer.currentHealth or something

[desert verge]

No because dealer and receiver are instance of class using the db

[tulip ledge]

mmmh well yeah you could make local variables

[desert verge]

class ActionAPI {

    this.chara_id = chara_id;

          return this.giveStat(

        if (!statSpecies) return doTheThing(stat.starter_value);
        doTheThing(statSpecies.starter_value);
      }
    }
  }

  async getBonusStat(type) {
    let resultAll = await this.getAll();
    let result = resultAll.find((r) => r.type === type);

  }

  async setBonusStat(type, bonus_value) {
    if (await this.getStat(type))
      return charaStats.updateOne(
        { type, guild: this.guild_id, chara: this.chara_id },
        { $set: { bonus_value } }
      );
  }

  async getStat(type) {
    let result = await charaStats.findOne({ type, chara: this.chara_id });
    return result ? result.value : undefined;
  }

  async giveStat(type, value) {
    return await charaStats.insertOne({ type, value, chara: this.chara_id });
  }

  async setStat(type, value) {
    return await charaStats.updateOne(
      { type, chara: this.chara_id },
      { $set: { value } }
    );
  }

  async getAll() {
    return await charaStats
      .find({
        chara: this.chara_id,
      })
      .toArray();
  }
}

[tulip ledge]

but when switching between receiver and dealer it might be hard

[desert verge]

it's using mongodb

charaStats is a mongodb collection

[desert verge]

Nope

just chara1 and chara2 variables

[tulip ledge]

yea you could do it like that

how I do it in my rpg bot is I call my db and then create a class like so:

let profileData = await db.get(...);
let profile = new profile(profileData);

class profile {
  constructor(data) {
    this.health = data.health
    ...
  }
}

Well it's a bit more complicated

but you get the gist

this way I have class representations of the players

and can change them like this

then you can add a .save method to save the profile

but it's a suggestion right

because how you are doing it is also fine

it'll just introduce the need of extra local variables

[desert verge]

recursiveness doesn't work

[tulip ledge]

how are you implementing it?

[eternal osprey]

what does the _ after a variable name mean?

[tulip ledge]

after, no clue, but if it's before it it usually means that the parameter isn't being used

[desert verge]

No, it's just for mongodb

[tulip ledge]

oh you're talking about the mongo

[eternal osprey]

i've seen it used in many programs

[tulip ledge]

I thought it was a completely different question

mb

[eternal osprey]

like variable_ = ...

[desert verge]

instead of do like: db.findOne({_id: id}), I'm just doing db.findOne({_id})

          await damage(receiver, attacker);
        } else {
          tour = 0;
          await damage(attacker, receiver);
        }
      }
    }```

[tulip ledge]

what is repeat callback?

[eternal osprey]

Using an underscore (_) in front of variable names is a convention often used in programming languages to indicate that a variable should be considered private or internal to a class, module, or function. It's not a strict rule enforced by the language itself, but rather a convention that developers follow to signal the intended visibility and usage of a variable.

[tulip ledge]

Also you don't need to use the tour anymore

[tulip ledge]

just add an else statement to if the user died

and swap the attacker and receiver

[desert verge]

Oh it's right

[tulip ledge]

like this

[desert verge]

if (final_health === 0) {
          let max_health_receiver = await actionApi_receiver.getStat(
            "max_health"
          );

          let max_health_attacker = await actionApi_attacker.getStat(
            "max_health"
          );

          await actionApi_receiver.setStat("health", max_health_receiver);
          await actionApi_attacker.setStat("health", max_health_attacker);

          return interaction.channel.send(
            `**${receiver.name}** has been defeated!`
          );
        }


      damage(aimedChara, chara);

I'm using clause guard

[tulip ledge]

yeah ok

but doesn't it work?

[desert verge]

I'll try it

But I think damage function inside the damage function will be undefined

[tulip ledge]

It wont be

[eternal osprey]

in a recursive call?

It won't. It's inside its own scope.

[hasty falcon]

thank you sir!

[tulip ledge]

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/recursive-functions/amp/

[hasty falcon]

thank you sir!

[marsh lark]

np

[desert verge]

But intellisense tells it's undefined

[eternal osprey]

show code of what you've done rn cuz it shouldn't be.

Wait

I know why it was undefined the damage func inside the damage function

I had a variable called damage

@tulip ledge Actually, the idea I proposed for the health update is not valid

async function startFight(chara, aimedChara) {
      let action_chara = new ActionAPI(chara._id, interaction.guildId);
      let action_aimedChara = new ActionAPI(
        aimedChara._id,
        interaction.guildId
      );

      let attacker_damage = await action_aimedChara.getStat("damage");
      let receiver_resistance = (await action_chara.getStat("resistance")) || 0;

      let crit_chance = (await action_aimedChara.getStat("crit_chance")) || 0;
      let crit_perc = (await action_aimedChara.getStat("crit_perc")) || 0;

      // let chara_speed = (await action_chara.getStat("speed")) || 0;
      // let aimedChara_speed = (await action_aimedChara.getStat("speed")) || 0;

      interaction.deleteReply();

      async function damage(attacker, receiver) {
        let action_receiver = new ActionAPI(receiver._id, interaction.guildId);
        let receiver_health = await action_receiver.getStat("health");

        if (!attacker_damage || !receiver_health)
          return interaction.editReply(
            ":x: Couldn't fight: No damage and health stats defined."
          );

        let crit_value = 0;

        if (crit_chance && crit_perc) {
          if (Math.random() < crit_chance / 100) {
            crit_value = (1 + crit_perc / 100) * damage;
          }
        }

        let resist_val =
          (crit_value ? crit_value : attacker_damage) - receiver_resistance;
        resist_val = resist_val < 0 ? 0 : resist_val;

        let final_health = receiver_health - resist_val;
        final_health = final_health < 0 ? 0 : final_health;

        await actionApi_receiver.setStat("health", final_health);

        interaction.channel.send(
          `**${attacker.name}** attacks **${receiver.name}** ${
            crit_value ? `(EFFECTIVE!)` : ""
          }, they loose :heart: ${resist_val} Health (Current health: ${final_health})`
        );

        if (final_health === 0) {
          let max_health_receiver = await actionApi_receiver.getStat(
            "max_health"
          );

          let max_health_attacker = await actionApi_attacker.getStat(
            "max_health"
          );

          await actionApi_receiver.setStat("health", max_health_receiver);
          await actionApi_attacker.setStat("health", max_health_attacker);

          return interaction.channel.send(

          );
        }

Bruh it's not correct

@eternal osprey

[eternal osprey]

heey

what's not correct

[desert verge]

This one may be correct

[eternal osprey]

yeah but about what are you talking?

The resursive function?

[desert verge]

This one is incorrect because, when parameters changes, action_chara and action_aimedChara don't

[eternal osprey]

Also, in js it's not really common to use variable_name but camelCase: variableName.

[desert verge]

I use both

camelCase more of course

[frosty gale]

okay mr convention

well in c you tend to use snake case

hence i use it in js too

(sometimes)

[desert verge]

Same

[eternal osprey]

Okay mr snake case

ms

[eternal osprey]

I know, me too that's why i used it as well for a long time but apparently it's a js convention to use camelcase.

[peak drum]

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it xD

[desert verge]

oke

[eternal osprey]

[peak drum]

[frosty gale]

terrible mindset

promotes resistance to change and advancement

[eternal osprey]

Okay ms mindset.

[peak drum]

[peak drum]

It just makes sure you don’t break anything that isn’t broke xD

[eternal osprey]

in js we only have classes, hence only support extends right?

no interfaces nor implements?

[neon leaf]

that only exists in typescript

so yes

[eternal osprey]

is typescript hard to learn?

[tulip ledge]

Thats weird because both variables are tied to the parameters

So if the parameters switch so should these variables

[tulip ledge]

Hard to learn no, hard to master definitely

[desert verge]

Oh it's because I redefine the parameters in the damage function

[eternal osprey]

it's because the parameters are defined in the async startFight

but when you call a new damage, it's undefined the 2nd time as you do not call the startFight again.

Try passing these parameters explicitly to the damage and try again. That should work.

[tulip ledge]

What no

He calls it in the damage function

So they are defined

[eternal osprey]

Personally i don't think it has access to the parameters in the outer function but i could be wrong... trying can never hurt right.

[tulip ledge]

Yeah

[frosty gale]

typescript is literally so cursed

you worry more about types than actual programming

because its a messy layer over javascript

i think so anyways after using it

you still have to use the any type in a lot of instances

bc some js features that make things easier or faster arent very strictly typed

also annoying to get a project up and running since you have to fiddle with a tsconfig which beginners likely would struggle with

[tulip ledge]

If ur not good at ts yeah I rarely use any

[frosty gale]

what are you saying 😠

[marsh lark]

I never use any in ts

[desert verge]

Use like :

function name<T>(param:T) {
return param
}

name("string") // return type= "string" 

so you will get the type of the passed parameter

replace the any type by that

[lyric mountain]

This applies to almost all prog langs

But I do agree ts has a weird syntax

[frosty gale]

i guess but in languages like c and c++ it feels more integrated and kinda more seamless i guess

since everything has to be typed anyways

well c++ is questionable in that regard considering their weird std types but in general

i dont use like 99% of the modern c++ functions and features

i would use c if it wasnt for the lack of classes and some helpful algorithms

[frosty gale]

if im stepping into that territory id rather use a higher level language like javascript

[solemn latch]

Isn't unknown supposed to be used, not any?

I mean, both can be used.
But in most cases any is used unknown is typically 'more' correct. Right?

[grizzled raven]

ik it's been forever but i wanna look into this host

how like lengthy is the verification process

[neon leaf]

wdym verification

[deft wolf]

I might be interested in this hosting too

Nooooo

[neon leaf]

just use the sale servers

smh

[spark flint]

wtf

where

i can't see

[neon leaf]

top of the page

the fat banner

[spark flint]

oh

[deft wolf]

Oh

Ty dude

I think I'm starting to like Germany even more

[grizzled raven]

like, when you buy a server don't you have to verify your identity? send your passport or other form of identification? anything like that

[neon leaf]

no

[grizzled raven]

so you just buy the server and you get it?

[neon leaf]

yes

[grizzled raven]

how long would you say you have to wait

[neon leaf]

30s

[spark flint]

mine was instant

[grizzled raven]

lmao

[spark flint]

i just paid and it is up within 15s

[grizzled raven]

that's nice

the epyc servers are out of stock right

[neon leaf]

yes

[grizzled raven]

actually nevermind about that i'll just get a different one

which one aside from epyc would you recommend

[neon leaf]

what are you planning to host

[grizzled raven]

lmao just a bot and a db

[neon leaf]

the sale servers are fine then

[grizzled raven]

hm

alright thanks for your help 😁

[gritty copper]

I hope so

[tulip ledge]

Well I mean they are both fine but unknown makes you recast it before allowing you to do something with it so it makes it safer I guess

[quartz kindle]

i read that too quickly and for a second i thought it said "unknown makes you racist"

[deft wolf]

[desert verge]

Hello I would like help

I don't know how to position correctly the stats

[river gust]

[lyric mountain]

what is "correctly"?

[desert verge]

On the middle of the right box

[lyric mountain]

you mean both on the middle?

[desert verge]

Yes all the stats that load

[lyric mountain]

wrap them in a single div and margin: auto auto

[desert verge]

It's already in a div

[lyric mountain]

I mean both in a div so they're moved as a single element

[desert verge]

.box-2 {
      display: flex;
      flex-direction: row;
      flex-wrap: wrap;
      margin: auto auto;
      gap: 5px;
      width: 30%;
    }

    .box-2 p {
      border: 1px solid #ebd4cb;
      padding: 7px;
      height: 30px;
    }

It doesn't work

[lyric mountain]

u need to wrap them in a div

that div cannot be the box itself

actually

do padding: auto auto on it

[desert verge]

on the .box-2 ?

[lyric mountain]

on whatever the right box is

this should make the inner elements center on it

[desert verge]

It doesn't move

[lyric mountain]

try justify-content: center

[desert verge]

Wait I removed wrap and it works

[lyric mountain]

weird

[desert verge]

ah no

Edited a bit

Does that

align-content doesn't work for vertical

[lyric mountain]

so align-items for vertical and justify-content for horizontal

[desert verge]

Okay

[lyric mountain]

the inverse for flex column

[desert verge]

Alright thank you !

[lyric mountain]

[jaunty basalt]

Code:

const { EmbedBuilder } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    name: 'avatar',
    aliases: ['av'],

    async execute(message, bot, args) {

        let user = null;

        if (args.length > 0) {

            let userID = args[0];

            try {
                user = await bot.users.fetch(userID);
            } catch (error) {
                user = message.mentions.users.first();
            }

        } else user = message.mentions.users.first() || message.author;

        if (!user) return await message.reply({
            content: ":Smike_x_mark: Please mention a valid user or provide a valid user ID!",
            allowedMentions: {
                replied_user: false
            }
        });

        let member = await message.guild.members.cache.get(user.id);

        if (!member) return await message.reply({
            content: ":Smike_x_mark: The user mentioned is no longer within the server!",
            allowedMentions: {
                replied_user: false
            }
        });

        let avatar = user.displayAvatarURL({ size: 2048, dynamic: true });

        let embed = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setTitle(`${user.username}'s avatar`)
            .setURL(avatar)
            .setImage(avatar)
            .setColor('#00008b');

        await message.reply({
            embeds: [embed],
            allowedMentions: {
                replied_user: false
            }
        });

    },

};```

Can anyone pls tell why my bot respond with `:Smike_x_mark: The user mentioned is no longer within the server!` when I provide a user ID? 
Pls tell me how to fix

[desert verge]

let member = await message.guild.members.cache.get(user.id);

why is it async ?

.get is not async

let member = await message.guild.members.fetch(user.id);

Here:
use .parsedUsers instead of .users

It works every times, message.mentions.users.first() never works for me

Here:
User may not have already started a DM

so use await message.guild.users.fetch(userID)

@jaunty basalt

the, user and member variables are the same thing, then use one of them. And as it returns a GuildMember instance, to get avatar url is: member.user.displayAvatarURL()

[tulip ledge]

Haha 😬

[tulip ledge]

User and member are completely different, member is a guild member it contains properties like joined at and nickname and permissions while user contains properties of the discord account like username, avatar, created at etc

[desert verge]

I know but no need of the getting an user with bot.users, it never works except if the bot DMed the user, the user will be in the cache

member.user.id
is the same thing as user.id

and member is cached, member.user too

[tulip ledge]

Yeah but you said member and user were the same variable

[desert verge]

Ah I see, but they created a member variable just to get the user

the verification of if the user exists is triggered twice

Ahh I see, it's to not get a user off the guild

[earnest phoenix]

Me when discord.js users has no idea about message.mentions.members to get the member version of the mentioned user

[civic scroll]

wouldn't a message mension be <@UID>

[desert verge]

@desert verge where do you see the guild id

[earnest phoenix]

?

[civic scroll]

(message|interaction).guild.id

[desert verge]

Okay but this is not a mention

[civic scroll]

for a mention you can do the same as well

[quartz kindle]

wat

[civic scroll]

since, technically a mention is a message that has a pointer to other message that it responds to

[desert verge]

await message.guild.members.fetch(message.mentions.parsedUsers.first().id)

[earnest phoenix]

discord.js provides a way to get the mentioned user as a member through message.mentions.members instead of having to get the user first and then to get the member version of them yourself

https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/discord.js/main/class/MessageMentions?scrollTo=members

[quartz kindle]

wat⅔

[civic scroll]

why would you fetch if the user object is already there

[desert verge]

Ah then use .get

[quartz kindle]

message.mentions is a separate class that holds all mentions that exist in the parent message

message.mentions has users, members, channels, everything

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

[quartz kindle]

you dont need to separately parse any of that because it has already been done for you

[desert verge]

I ned to parse it for my @bot-mention to send the help command

Because it did not parse

[earnest phoenix]

Also parsedUsers is the same as users except that the order of the parsed users in the collection are as they appear, instead of how the API returns it

[quartz kindle]

message.mentions.members.has(member => member.id === botid)

[desert verge]

for me, message.mentions.users.first() is undefined

the debug tells this

[quartz kindle]

do you have caching disabled or limited or something?

[desert verge]

Nope, but is caching disabled by default ?

[quartz kindle]

no

[earnest phoenix]

.has() takes a key btw, not a predicate

[quartz kindle]

ye mb

[desert verge]

.has() is same as .get(), .has() it's like adding !! before to make it falsy then make this true

[quartz kindle]

console.log(message.mentions)

then mention your bot

[desert verge]

Okay

[desert verge]

!!message.guild.members.get(userid) = message.guild.members.has(userid)

[quartz kindle]

wat

well yeah

but thats kinda inneficcient

[earnest phoenix]

Not exactly the same, .has() only checks the key which is way more efficient when you just want to check for that, .get() not only checks the key but also gets the value, and you coercing it to a boolean like that is just wasteful

[quartz kindle]

.get returns the result, .has doesnt return it, so its technically more performant

ye

[desert verge]

yup it is wasteful I know lol

I was just saying

[sharp geyser]

wtf was I just reading

Idk I chose red

what is the better color for roleplay ?

green ?

Like plants?

I'll change the logo, so maybe change the color

[earnest phoenix]

how to convert text to an hexadecimal color (@ me)

[desert verge]

Did you search for that on stackoverflow ?

[sharp geyser]

Im sorry what

text?

[quartz kindle]

example?

[desert verge]

maybe a string

string containing hexadecimal

Well I think, no need to convert

[desert verge]

context ?

[craggy pine]

Only thing I can even think of is having a db of colors and their hex value and then when someone says “blue” it goes and grabs the hex.

[earnest phoenix]

blue to hex yes

but i found the chroma-js modul thx

[desert verge]

oh ok

[sharp geyser]

colors go brrr

There are too many to even make your own database of colors

and something like that will highly likely end up being a paid api or a shitty api with shit rate limits anywhere else

[craggy pine]

I mean very true, but just thinking of the basic colors, a simple json db or hell even defining them within the js file itself would be fine. No library needed. But i guess for convenience sake chroma-js probably does the job fine.

[wheat mesa]

Could probably go buy one of those giant paint swatches with like every single color ever in them and manually type them out lmao

Or use computer vision to automate the process

[desert verge]

you want to make customizable the embed color ?

You can still put the name of the color

and hex

[earnest phoenix]

yes, but for french people too so i need to translate english to french if i use a module

[desert verge]

Okay I see

french to english then ?

there is a deepl lib

[earnest phoenix]

yes to convert it to an hex color

ok thx lets see

[desert verge]

Oh it's not convenient if we need an api key

sorry

A ever did a deepl lib using puppeteer, but don't know if it works

https://www.npmjs.com/package/deepl

[eternal osprey]

how do i override a method in js?

[tulip ledge]

Look into i18n libraries for translations

[tulip ledge]

<obj>.method = () => {}

[earnest phoenix]

thx all

[tulip ledge]

Or if you’re talking built in you like string.replace you do so with string.prototype.replace for example

[eternal osprey]

I meant oop.

Like i have a class that inherits a super class, but want to change one of the inherited methods

[tulip ledge]

Oh just in the class you redefine kt

It*

[earnest phoenix]

You just implement the method in the subclass that inherits the other class

[tulip ledge]

class parent {
foo() {
return “bar”;
}

class child extends parent {
foo() {
return “hello”;
}
}

Sorry for bad formatting am on phone

[eternal osprey]

Oowh i see!

I was thinking with java where we must use @override

so i thought there would be a method in js as well

[scenic kelp]

you don't actually have to use @override in java, hence why it's an annotation and not a language keyword

[lyric mountain]

It's required yes, but even if u don't include it it's inferred

[scenic kelp]

it's best practice to use it because the compiler can tell that fooo isn't a method on the parent class

so it'll know that you done fucked up

[lyric mountain]

Yes, it's not required to write it, cuz the compiler can infer it

Just like semicolons in js

[scenic kelp]

the compiler isn't "inferring" the annotation exists

[lyric mountain]

I mean the override itself, not specifically the annotation

[scenic kelp]

well yeah

that's why the annotation exists though, to be explicit

[lyric mountain]

Yes

[scenic kelp]

because java doesn't have a keyword to explicitly override a method (unlike say C# which does)

[lyric mountain]

I somewhat like the annotation approach

[scenic kelp]

class A {
    public virtual void Foo() {}    
}

class B : A {
    public void Foo() {}
}
``` in C# for example you'd get a warning here

[lyric mountain]

Easier to see on a glimpse, as it's usually highlighted differently

Tf high res

[scenic kelp]

(also in C# you have to explicitly mark stuff that can be overridden with virtual forgot about that)

[lyric mountain]

Another thing that's pretty neat is the @Contract annot

[scenic kelp]

but the warning tells you to either override it or to mark it as shadowing the A.Foo() method with new

class A {
    public virtual void Foo() {}    
}

class B : A {
    public override void Foo() {}
}

class C : A {
    public new void Foo() {}    
}```

i quite like that approach

[scenic kelp]

huh those look neat

[lyric mountain]

yep, reeeeeally nice to flag possible nullability or immutable methods

there are a bunch of jetbrains annotations too for documentation

like @Range

the compiler takes them into account too

[surreal sage]

my code is exact same so im not sure if im missing something, using cdn

everything else on boostrap is working fine so far

You'll eventually need a server

Self host

If you have an old laptop/Android phone it will work

[lyric mountain]

No like, really, there's an upper cap you'll hit regarding host capacity, no matter how efficient your code is

Replit ceiling is really low

I mean, there are hosts for like $7

But yeah, 13 is too early

Btw, I noticed u have a green name, I'd be wary about getting too many servers too fast

Else you might get capped at 100 due to inorganic growth

[marsh lark]

I wish I had that problem tho lol

[lyric mountain]

If ur under 100, u definitely dont

Theres a high chance of being declined during verification

No, not much u can do now

Just dont advertise it

And pray people don't notice it too much

At least until discord verification

Are u developing ur bot by yourself or following a tutorial/template?

You'll need to fill a form at 76 servers, make sure u pay attention to what you code

Especially regarding stored data

Privacy reasons

You'll need to justify what and why you're storing

Like username or messages

Or general activity

I'd shouldn't matter much, as it's anonymous enough

But you'll still need to explain what u use it for regardless

[marsh lark]

you dont have to disclose IDs iirc since theyre not personal info

yeah message content is something to consider

[lyric mountain]

Discord will give u some (superficial) info on what u need to answer when the time comes

[marsh lark]

If you're storing it for a reason and a user consents to storing it then you can store it as long as it's encrypted during transit and rest

[lyric mountain]

Not too complicated, but people who blindly follow tutorials/guides often get stuck at it

Cuz they can't answer what they didn't develop

If ur coding yourself you'll be fine

[marsh lark]

Encryption is a really general term tho as long as ur using https and have a password on ur db you should be fine

If it's stored locally dw about it

[lyric mountain]

Please learn a database

[marsh lark]

Just make sure non-devs of your bot cant access it

[warm surge]

It’s better

[marsh lark]

DB scales more and is generally better though

[lyric mountain]

Json is very prone to corruption, and heavily bottlenecks your I/O throughput

It's fine for read-only data, but a nono for read/write

[marsh lark]

You don't technically need a db at 13 servers but it's good to have, plus corruption

[warm surge]

I got 49 servers, all of it is in MongoDB

[lyric mountain]

Also I bet discord won't accept a "I use json as a database" answer in the form

[marsh lark]

They dont rly care how you store it as long as its secure

[lyric mountain]

Sqlite is a very beginner-friendly database

Little setup, little data types to worry about

Veeeeery simplified queries

[warm surge]

Mine is, it’s under my bed

Exactly

also im school nerd so no one will anyways

But MongoDB is easy and secure database anyone can use.

[soft laurel]

I'm attempting to remove channel permissions from a discord user. Right after removal it seems to be given immediately back. The channel dissapears from the user's perspective and immediately comes back. It doesn't seem to be giving the permissions back anywhere. Is there some setting i'm missing?

Code to remove permission:

VoiceChannelManager manager = voiceChannel.getManager();

for (SummonerInfo summoner : replacedSummoners) {
    manager.putMemberPermissionOverride(summoner.getDiscordId(), null, permissions).queue();
}            

[lyric mountain]

I advocate for sqlite, as it can be easily ported to postgres once you get enough data flow

[lyric mountain]

Make sure you're not running 2 instances

[marsh lark]

SQLite also stores data in a file doesnt it

[lyric mountain]

And that there's no other bot to intervene

[warm surge]

if my bot gets bigger i will make sqlite database but until then im using MongoDB

[lyric mountain]

Well, all databases do

[marsh lark]

Well yeah but sqlite stores it in 1 file

[lyric mountain]

All databases do

They just hide it inside

[lyric mountain]

No no, if it gets bigger u go straight to postgres

Sqlite isn't enough for big data

[warm surge]

ah.

Ye

[lyric mountain]

Any will do, what I mean is that all databases boil down to a file holding data

Mongo is different to sql databases, kinda like 2 sides of a coin

[warm surge]

nah it’s just like 2 face from batman

[lyric mountain]

Both are fine, it's just a different flavor

A thing to take into account, is that mongo is terrible if you're dealing with relationships

As mongo isn't meant for that

[soft laurel]

I'm only running one instance.

[lyric mountain]

Then check if any other bot is interfering

Some bots have a similar feature, to prevent griefing

[soft laurel]

ty for the suggestion. I'm running in an empty server, no other bots

[lyric mountain]

See the audit logs then

It'll appear what's giving the perms back

[soft laurel]

Where are those? Are you just talking about logging I've put into the bot?

[lyric mountain]

And reset the token, just to be sure there's no ghost instance running around

[lyric mountain]

Server settings -> audit logs

[soft laurel]

p sure the style tags go into the head btw

you also only have a closing head tag?

[desert verge]

Hello I need help!

bot.better-roleplay.xyz redirects to my ip:port of my bot server which have a webserver for requests

What can I use to allow the connection ? I'm using express

[deft wolf]

Well, I have different message

[desert verge]

Ah ok so it's not spread yet in France

OH NO

I need to have this in https

[deft wolf]

You should be able to access it with http

Yea, with http it works

[desert verge]

Nope

Because my dashbord is in https

[sharp geyser]

Can a sub command have sub commands in terms of slash commands?

[deft wolf]

I don't think so

Of course, if I understand the documentation correctly and what you want to do

[stuck dawn]

Anyone knows how to remove the effect that framer-motion (shakes when the animation finishes)

I know it's a default thing

[wheat mesa]

Sub commands cannot have other sub commands

[tulip ledge]

if you make it a subgroup it should no?

command -> subgroup -> subcommand

[wooden ember]

i love how running "npm i ffmpeg-static" has now made literally every command of my bot not load anymore

[lament rock]

Because you're using require for esm modules. You MUST use import

[wooden ember]

why?

why does installing one module fuck my entire bot

[lament rock]

idfk. The whole CJS vs ESM thing is so dumb and some modules only support ESM because it's supposedly better, but actually divides the node ecosystem more

[wooden ember]

wait is this cuz npm updated the chalk package on my system

[lament rock]

Some npm modules only supports use of import

you can use the import statement in CJS

[wooden ember]

been battling that for years. I just copy paste an older version of chalk and use that

lemmy just revert it and see if that fixes it since everything in my bot uses it

yeah its chalk being useless

lets just delete it cba to use 20 mb of dependencies just to make my cli coloured

i can just use ANSI

cheers for the help tho

[wooden ember]

got this error

I ran npm i sodium

and then got this error

what does any of that mean

since its not understanding make Im guessing that there is a compiler missing somewhere

but thats about all i can make out

[sharp geyser]

Alright just making sure, didn't wanna not support a feature in my framework

[neon spruce]

I have a bot which when I enter the token and execute the code sends an error and when I try the token from another bot it works perfectly.

[deft wolf]

Then your token is invalid

[neon spruce]

and the strangest thing is that it is only with one code, when I put the token in a different code it works fine.

can discord block the connection directly to a specific code?

what happened to me is that precisely because of that code they sent me this message

"It appears your bot, has connected to Discord more than 1000 times within a short time period. Since this kind of behavior is usually a result of a bug we have gone ahead and reset your bot's token."

And as I said, only with that code it sends me an error when trying to connect with the bot, but with other codes the bot works perfectly.

[deft wolf]

It doesn't make much sense. Apparently in this code your token is not changed because the token has nothing to do with the bot code

It's just a string that tells discord what bot wants to access the api

They can't access your bot's code via a token, and they can't "ban" your bot code

If you could send the error, it would probably be easier to locate the problem

[neon spruce]

ooh ok

and exactly the same code only with the token of another bot

Ready!```

[spark flint]

then something is going wrong with your code

if it has reconnected over 1,000 times in a short space of time, that means there is an issue in your code that is causing it to repeatedly restart iself

my bot had that when i used discord.js on a next.js site, it kept reconnecting and caused it to auto reset token

[earnest phoenix]

It says it right there:

npm ERR! /bin/sh: line 1: make: command not found

You simply don't have Make installed

You can run sudo apt install make to install it if you're using a Linux distribution that uses the APT package manager (like Ubuntu or Debian), or install it with the package manager of the other Linux distributions

If you're using Ubuntu or Debian (or anything that's based on them) I'd recommend installing the build-essential package using the APT package manager, which will install everything needed for proper compilation and stuff

[lyric mountain]

that has nothing to do with the token

it appears there's a bug when trying to cache a guild, where the cache itself is missing

did u modify anything related to cache?

[grizzled raven]

for those using contabo, is contabo steal still a problem or am i stuck in 2020

[spark flint]

i find their network slow

[lament rock]

My node was offline for 9 hours while engineers and the panel said everything is ok, yet another node in the same datacenter worked okay

[lyric mountain]

Not been an issue since infrastructure change

At least not for me

[craggy pine]

Does discord allow a slash command to autocomplete based on which option within the command you chose? Example:

    options: [
        {
            name: "category",
            description: "Get a list of commands within a category",
            type: 3,
            required: false,
            autocomplete: true
        },
        {
            name: "command",
            description: "The command you need additional help for | Max 25 show at once, type to filter",
            type: 3,
            required: false,
            autocomplete: true
        },
    ],

//missing code here to shorten the chat spam

    autoComplete: async (client, interaction) => {
        switch (interaction.options._hoistedOptions[0].name) {
          //._hoistedOptions[0] is the closest thing I can figure out but leads to weird issue if category is selected then command. Command shows the autocomplete of category.
    },

[lament rock]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/interactions/application-commands#autocomplete

There is an options Array, so it's up to you to return suggestions based off other options present

Ah. You're using a wrapper

You may want to consider using raw representations or alternatively, logging the interaction

But I'm sure wrappers find cheeky ways to obscure info from you with getters and the likes

[craggy pine]

Yeah, the code atleast the structure isn't mine but a slash template if you will. So compared to how others do their slash commands mine looks more like...

module.exports = {
    name: "ping",
    category: "General",
    description: "Replies with bot ping!",
    usage: [`/ping`],
    example: [`/ping`],
    type: 1,
    options: [],
    permissions: {
        DEFAULT_MEMBER_PERMISSIONS: "SendMessages"
    },
    run: async (client, interaction, config, db) => {
    //stuff    
};

[sharp geyser]

Are localizations in things like names and descriptions limited to only what discord supports or can you use stuff like i18n to determine this kind of things?

[marsh lark]

Only what discord supports in user settings > language

but thats already a lot of languages

[sharp geyser]

smh

Indeed, but discord still lacks support for a small number of them

I guess its enough for now

[marsh lark]

yeah true

i mean if it supported custom languages how would it know which one to show you

[sharp geyser]

Honestly discord should let localization be handled by the dev

[lament rock]

It kinda can

[sharp geyser]

It's fine if its a client side thing, but I feel some control should be left to the developer, as a lot of communities that would benefit from a localized bot would wanna set the language to be for them.

[lament rock]

British english doesn't have to be British english in the code side

it can be lol catz

[sharp geyser]

lmao

[marsh lark]

I mean guild commands exists

but registering ones for each server it joins is kinda a hassle

[sharp geyser]

Loading commands for a specific guild each time is api spammy

[marsh lark]

yea

[sharp geyser]

which is why i18n should be left up to the developer to handle in some cases. If anything allow there to be an option where a dev could integrate their own system if they wanted. Which mind you is a very difficult thing understandably

[tulip ledge]

Hold up im in phone lemme browse my github how I did it

let focusedOption = payload.options.getFocused(true)

Then you can compare the focusedOption based on the option

If you want subcommands you do payload.options.getSubcommand()

If you want a specific option you can use payload.options.get(“option”).value

@craggy pine

[covert ingot]

any idea why bootstrap is overriding my css ? https://paste.gg/p/anonymous/d6d1b353ec8f4ae6b5e6d0a7f1b7c960

[lyric mountain]

what's :root supposed to be?

also ur html structure is wrong

I suppose that's supposed to be for your bot's long description yeah?

[covert ingot]

no not for a bot, n wym my html structure wrong. :root is root ? when i uncomment bootstrap link style background goes back

[lyric mountain]

for a bot? a site u mean?

[covert ingot]

no

nothing to do with a bot

[lyric mountain]

ok, but is it for a site?

[covert ingot]

yh

[lyric mountain]

then your html is very wrong

<html>
  <head>
    ...
  </head>
  <body>
    ...
  </body>
</html>

this is the correct html structure

[covert ingot]

it is like that

oh

nvm let me delete /html

[lyric mountain]

what?

[covert ingot]

my html is right now, was structure the only thing that was wrong? if so i fixed it, thats just the base file, so i include that at the top of every file. its ejs

but still, bootstrap is overriding my css n i have no idea why

[lyric mountain]

maybe, idk how your actual html looks like

styles must always be inside head

elements inside body

and idk what :root is supposed to be

[covert ingot]

:root is root, im not sure what u mean

[lyric mountain]

ok but WHAT is root?

[covert ingot]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:root

[lyric mountain]

in html there's no root

that sounds like ```css
html {
...
}

[covert ingot]

either way, it works the way it does. ive used it before n it works perfectly well for me that way im doing, but this is my first time using bootstrap

[lyric mountain]

bootstrap is usually used with html, not ejs

not sure if they work together as ejs has its own generator

why do you need boot?

for the styles?

[covert ingot]

yeah

[desert verge]

Someone know a bot which has an api for making addons ?

[tulip ledge]

explain what you mean by addons

[desert verge]

dev api to add functionalities to the bot

[tulip ledge]

so, you mean a bot where you can develop addons for?

that'd be a security risk I think

and I mean, discord uses an api to make bots??

isn't that what you want?

[desert verge]

I know, but... like we need a key to use the api, and no full access to the db, just like, only guild, a key would be assigned to a guild

To verify the user, just use discord oauth2

[tulip ledge]

well, no access to the db would be hard to do as you can literally access anything on their vps/pc using the eval function

[deft wolf]

So you mean something like shared hosting but using bot

[tulip ledge]

I think that if it exists, it would have very very limited access

[desert verge]

Well no because the value of the eval must be a function, and there will be a special npm lib for doing requests

[tulip ledge]

because iirc theres a limit on how many slash commands a bot could have

[desert verge]

It will be a thing like that:

/addon [addon_name] [parameters]

It will just look like a command using message.content

[tulip ledge]

I don't think I'm getting what you want

[deft wolf]

Me too

[desert verge]

This is to execute an addon

[tulip ledge]

so you want to develop a command for a bot that's not yours?

then you still need a function no?

[desert verge]

Noo!

[tulip ledge]

and in that function you can put an eval command

[desert verge]

If people want to add more functionalities to my bot

[tulip ledge]

that people can exploit?

and what do you mean with functionalities?

[deft wolf]

Can't they just contact you so you can add it to your bot?

[desert verge]

pfff, yeah I'm trying to do without eval

[tulip ledge]

I mean what you could do is create your own addons and allow users to enable/disable them

if that's what you want

[desert verge]

No

[tulip ledge]

because if you give anyone the freedom to add anything to your bot, you will get people who can and will abuse it

[desert verge]

I want to let people create their own addons on my bot

[tulip ledge]

why do you think that you can't upload a bot to top.gg if your eval command is not admin locked?

[deft wolf]

Yea, they gonna abuse it

[desert verge]

I will not use eval

[tulip ledge]

but

people will be able to put eval in their code

when they create their own addons

that's what I'm trying to tell you

[desert verge]

I know!

I will parse

If it detects the eval it doesn't execute the code

[tulip ledge]

you know you don't need to type a function name to execute the function right?

[desert verge]

....

[tulip ledge]

All you need is []()!+

these characters

and you can do anything with js

[desert verge]

You don't know how it will look like

The addon will be hosted

The bot will retrieve the content of the file

Parse it

Use the special npm lib

[deft wolf]

So you are gonna make file for every addon?

[tulip ledge]

I'm trying to tell you that it's a huge security risk

[desert verge]

A file ?

No the file is hosted on their own server

In the db there will be the list of addon urls

[desert verge]

I know

I'm thinking

[tulip ledge]

the reason I chose to develop on dc is so I don't have to worry about security risks

and now you're planning on introducing one yourself

[deft wolf]

It's a very strange concept

[tulip ledge]

yeah

[desert verge]

the npm lib, is just doing http request to my bot, so they won't have access to my client class

[tulip ledge]

so how are you planning on replying to interactions then?

what will people be able to do with it then?

if they can't access any data

[desert verge]

They will have access

[tulip ledge]

they won't have access to my client class

[desert verge]

To what they really need

[tulip ledge]

like what

[desert verge]

Well i don't know how to expain but I can show a demo code

to what will look like the addon

let Addon = require("brp-addon");
let addon = new Addon(api_key, "avatar");
addon.on("execute", async ({interaction, api, user, params})=> {
let chara = await interaction.awaitCharacter(user.id);
interaction.send(chara.avatar);
})

Finally, I think, the addon don't need to be hosted

Just need to register

[tulip ledge]

you're giving them access to the db

[quartz kindle]

you want to offer your bot users a way to script their commands?

or what

[deft wolf]

Okey so you can access interaction.client no?

[desert verge]

No because interaction is my own class

I put the methods I want

Dude....

Who want to put the true interaction class ?

[desert verge]

nope, not really

it is the wrapper api of the bot

[quartz kindle]

so you want to make a sub-api basically
you receive event, check registered addons, send event to addon, which resides in the users pc or host, the user runs logic and responds to you, and you respond to discord?

[tulip ledge]

why are you calling that db ;-;

[desert verge]

YES EXACTLY

[quartz kindle]

doable

but

you will be responsible for what the user responds

so for example if they send slurs and shit, you might be affected

[tulip ledge]

that's what I'm tyring to say

it's a high security risk

[desert verge]

Well, the addons would have to be approved to be global

[quartz kindle]

you dont need to give them access to yiur db

they can run their own db on their end

[desert verge]

Yep but my bot is a roleplay bot, so they can register characters, stats, etc

They need access to that

[quartz kindle]

ah

[desert verge]

in my bio there is the link

[quartz kindle]

so yeah youll need a layer of abstraction for that

[desert verge]

yup

let Addon = require("brp-addon");
let addon = new Addon(api_key, "avatar");
addon.on("execute", async ({interaction, api, user, params})=> {
let chara = await interaction.awaitCharacter(user.id);
interaction.send(chara.avatar);

// Use api like: 
let charas = await api.getCharas(user.id) // There is no confidential informations in a chara object.

// params
if(params[0]) {
let user_id = parseMention(params[0]);
// etc.
}
})

[deft wolf]

I would rather stick with the good old database and the /register-character command or something like that

[desert verge]

?

I didn't understand

My bot have /register to register a character

[desert verge]

how do I get the blue developer badge ?

[spark flint]

not possible anymore

[desert verge]

Yup I just googled it

[sharp geyser]

export abstract class Command {
    name: string;
    description: string;
    nameLocalizations: LocalizationMap | null;
    descriptionLocalizations: LocalizationMap | null;
    options: Array<ApplicationCommandOptions>;
    nsfw?: boolean;
    constructor(options: ICommandOptions) {
        this.name = options.name;
        this.description = options.description;
        this.nameLocalizations = options.name_localizations;
        this.descriptionLocalizations = options.description_localizations;
        this.options = options.options;
        this.nsfw = options.nsfw;
    }

    abstract run(interaction: Interaction): void;
}

Should I actually be making it abstract sense I don't want it to be instantiated by itself but rather extended but the run method, is it something they should be overriding themselves or nah?

[wheat mesa]

I do something pretty similar in my framework

You’re gonna need a run method, having it abstract is perfectly okay

[sharp geyser]

Ight bet

Also just realized options should be optional :^)

[wheat mesa]

Doesn’t necessarily HAVE to be optional, can just be an empty array

[sharp geyser]

true, but its typescript we are talking about here

so if I don't make it optional i'll likely get the "Hey, I am getting error it saying it required but I don't need options for this command"

rather just negate that

I think discord.js automatically puts in a empty array anyway if its not supplied

if not discord itself just allows it to be absent

[tulip ledge]

What does abstract class do again and what is it used for?

[sharp geyser]

abstract classes are a way of outlining what you want a child class to look like, its sort of like a blueprint, they are not meant to be initalized themselves but rather to be extended on.

[tulip ledge]

Ahh

Thank you

[sharp geyser]

so with that class above I would do

class SomeCommand extends Command {
  constructor(){
    super({
      name: 'basdas',
      description: 'asdasdads'
    })
  }

  run(interaction: Interaction) {
    interaction.reply('asdasd') //dk if this is how you do it anymore but ye examples
  }
}

So trying to do let cmd = new Command() would give an error

its a basic abstract class, there are some that get more complex im sure

[wheat mesa]

Seems inspired by detritus 😉

Mine is heavily inspired by detritus

[sharp geyser]

ofc it is

[sharp geyser]

I'll never match detritus but I want to give people the same feeling

I dont even bother giving them the client

as discord.js naturally has the client attached to everything

[wheat mesa]

Heavily inspired by detritus

[sharp geyser]

you just straight up give them a subCommands field

I just leave it as options

:p

[wheat mesa]

I have that for SubCommandGroups only

It's options for normal commands

[sharp geyser]

All my code is subject to change

rn I don't have any idea in mind for sub commands

I might make different command classes like you and have one for CommandGroups

and another just for normal Commands which would be Command

[sharp geyser]

Does your CommandGroup extend BaseCommandOption?

I assume it does and just sets the type to be a subcommand thingy

[desert verge]

Anyone tried to make a Discord.js api wrapper with Decorators like what does Nextjs ?

[wheat mesa]

nope

that's the thing I didn't copy from detritus

the complicated and fancy magic generics

CommandGroup is super simple

[sharp geyser]

Also waffle how the fuck do I add the git repository to my shit

I forgor how to add an origin

[wheat mesa]

Most of the magic is handled by my command manager and startup script

[wheat mesa]

idk I haven't done that in 3 months

[sharp geyser]

💀

I haven't done it in over a year

[wheat mesa]

lol

But yeah the most "magic" I have is when loading slash commands atm ```ts
async function loadSlashCommands(client: PaperClient, options: { directory: string; excludeFiles: string[] }) {
try {
const files = fs
.readdirSync(path.resolve(__dirname, options.directory), { withFileTypes: true })
.filter(
file =>
(['js', 'ts'].some(e => file.name.endsWith(e)) && !file.name.endsWith('.d.ts')) ||
file.isDirectory(),
);
for (const file of files) {
console.log(file);
if (options.excludeFiles.some(f => f === file.name)) {
continue;
}

        if (file.isDirectory()) {
            loadSlashCommands(client, {
                directory: `${options.directory}/${file.name}`,
                excludeFiles: options.excludeFiles,
            });
        } else {
            const ret = (await import(`file:///${path.resolve(__dirname, `${options.directory}/${file.name}`)}`))
                .default;

            if (ret.default instanceof Command) {
                client.commandManager.addCommand(ret.default);
                console.log(`Loaded command ${ret.default.name}`);
            } else if (ret.default instanceof CommandGroup) {
                client.commandManager.addCommandGroup(ret.default.name, ret.default);
                console.log(`Loaded command group ${ret.default.name}`);
            }
        }
    }
} catch (e) {
    console.log(`Error occurred whilst loading commands: ${e}`);
}

}

This was still a work in progress when I originally worked on it, so I haven't handled comparing the differences between currently uploaded slash commands and what I have client side to avoid ratelimit issues

finally remembered

[sharp geyser]

wtf

I have not programmed in months

[desert verge]

Does your client use the api of Discord? Or it uses the discord.js lib?

[sharp geyser]

it uses the discord.js lib most likely

I doubt waffle made his own for this

Honestly I might go back to doing my own lib and just build a wrapper around it

we'll see how this goes

https://github.com/Mistyerious/shensuo also not a plug but waffle this is what i'm currently doing

[desert verge]

there is nothing

[sharp geyser]

there is?

[desert verge]

it is empty

[sharp geyser]

no its not

💀

[desert verge]

i know

[sharp geyser]

Yea cause I haven't done any of that yet

[desert verge]

but the code

[sharp geyser]

:C

I been working on the command/event classes themselves rn

I aint even done with Event class yet but decided to push to github before I forgor and accidentally lose progress somehow

:)

Ah nice, cheers! I didn't realise that make was its own program. I'm using fedora server and its a minimal install so makes since that its not installed. Thanks for the help!

[grizzled raven]

anyone use https://datalix.eu as their host? feels wrong to bother the same guy over and over

[wheat mesa]

djs

I didn't feel like implementing gateway shit or caching, this was just written for a bot I was writing a while back

[desert verge]

Okayyy
