[frosty gale]

actually i just solved my own problem nvm

[warm imp]

Do you need node.js app open or nah

[wicked pivot]

I have a problem, I am setting up an API to read json but this also allows access to the source code as removed?

const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 80;
const fs = require('fs');

const endpoints = [
    '/boss',
    '/chorus',
    '/clicker',
    '/egghunt',
    '/end',
    '/faction',
    '/koth',
    '/money',
    '/trixiumFaction',
    '/trixiumPlayer'
];

app.get('/', (req, res) => {
    res.json({
        endpoints
    });
});

endpoints.map(endpoint => {
    app.get(endpoint, (req, res) => {
        res.json(JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(`./data${endpoint}.json`)));
    });
});```

base_url/faction work
but base_url/index.js works when it shouldn't ![sueur](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/876219216313856060.webp?size=128 "sueur")

[sharp geyser]

Sounds like a good idea

I’d set a max amount per message tho

I also have no idea what they are talking about

[wicked pivot]

That's why I would like to change that xD

[sharp geyser]

Better off using a permission system at that point

Depending on how wide scale this api is

[serene horizon]

Does anyone use NextJS or React

im on the verge of breaking down

because data and userGroups doesn't want to accept data existin-

wait

brb

[tawny lava]

ur not awating the fetch

[spark flint]

You can’t in useEffect

[tawny lava]

so just .then then

[spark flint]

@serene horizon do fetch.then() and handle the set stuff in there

Yeah

[serene horizon]

my friend told me to remove the .then

😭

[tawny lava]

useeffect worst thing ever made gg

[serene horizon]

i genuinely despise jextns so much

[real rose]

i got desperate once and just made an asynchronous function inside useeffect and called it straight away

lol

worked like a dream

[serene horizon]

😢

yeah mine did that b4

but thats mes-

brb

okay yeah nvm

it didnt work

oh

wait

was i using the wrong api this entire time

omg i fuckign hate my life

nope still no data yay..

[frosty gale]

shouldve used svelte

jsx is the definition of bloatware in the web dev world

[serene horizon]

its not that bad

💀

its bad but not that bad

it handles fine

and i dont like svelte

its just react shenanigans

[solemn latch]

This might be helpful ^-^
https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/fetching-caching-and-revalidating#fetching-data-on-the-client-with-route-handlers

This too https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/building-your-application/data-fetching/client-side#client-side-data-fetching-with-useeffect

[serene horizon]

i did try that...

lemme try again

[solemn latch]

I think these days route handlers are the "correct" approach.

[serene horizon]

oops

yeah

still get hit w no data

the data IS there

idk its weird

@solemn latchidk if i did it right or

if react is against that lol

but thats what i did

https://nala.pics/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fcontent%2Ff50a5dae-67d5-4962-9b6b-eb9171ec0012.jpeg&w=256&q=95 😍

lol i love _next being exposed all the time

[real rose]

ts-ignore

[serene horizon]

without it; webstorm yells at me

(they exist)

i do

I just cba being typesafe rn

i been doin this for 7 hrs

^ thats that 1

wait-

brb...

[solemn latch]

Its just the best 😄

[serene horizon]

xdd

[solemn latch]

wasnt there a way to rename the _next endpoints? 👀

[civic scroll]

'd recommend extract useEffect logic in an async function
moreover when it reaches the fetching of api/admin, data might still be undefined even though it exists (assuming the first fetch goes successful)

[serene horizon]

mhm

[civic scroll]

type is not annotated
you will have to manually type the response type

fetch(...)
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => consume(data as T))

[serene horizon]

okie lemme try this

[civic scroll]

declare an interface that represents the structure of the response, and replace T with it

[serene horizon]

jus did

2 sec lemme

make sure it all "works"

No data found-

wtf

so it does exist

but it still isnt setting state and idk why

[civic scroll]

also in your fetch you can just

async function fetchAll() {
    const data = await fetch(...)
    const roblox = await fetch (/* use `data` here */)
    return ...
}

// ...
useEffect(() => {
    fetchAll().then(...).catch(...)
}, [...])

[serene horizon]

m

[civic scroll]

it did set the state, not immediately

[serene horizon]

oh

yh

i forgor about that

i HATE that 😭

[civic scroll]

react state change happens in next cycle

so touche

[civic scroll]

try this

[serene horizon]

it smells

[civic scroll]

nah

[serene horizon]

yeah lemme do dat rq

[civic scroll]

you stinky for depending on state like that

[serene horizon]

copilot...

really tried

i didnt even mean to press tab 😭

[civic scroll]

if state changes eagerly, your application will hang

[serene horizon]

not my faulttt

my friend told me to use state

[civic scroll]

use state wasn't wrong

how you used it was

[serene horizon]

o h

[civic scroll]

also to use the state

const [state, setState] = useState<T>();
                                   ^

specify the type, if you don't have an initial value for the state

oh chris i'm on phone

[serene horizon]

ur doinwell for phone--

😭

[civic scroll]

fixed it

not a well experience

[serene horizon]

pfft-

😎

its y e l l i n g

OH

i havent inferred

[civic scroll]

tip: 1. don't depend on ai
2. you can just

const data = await fetch(...).then(res => res.json());

[serene horizon]

yes i have

[serene horizon]

i dont depend on ai

it kinda jus

[civic scroll]

type mismatch

[serene horizon]

does its thing

[serene horizon]

ooo

[civic scroll]

as long as you can verify the results

i had to disable copilot

[serene horizon]

...[]

what dis mean

[serene horizon]

pffft

[civic scroll]

Array<UserGroupData>

[serene horizon]

i use it for logic that i cant think of

[serene horizon]

ooo

so ...[] = Array<...>

[civic scroll]

array types are suffixed with []

[serene horizon]

Kewl

[civic scroll]

yup

[civic scroll]

yeah that's what i meant on "depend on ai"

use it for what you already know but too lazy to type

[serene horizon]

this no?

[serene horizon]

nono

i mean SIMPLEEE things

like

"i forgor how to check if x ISNT y..."

yes this happens often.

😭

[civic scroll]

useState<UserGroupData[]>([])
is enough
no need for that array cast

[serene horizon]

okie

its still yelling :(

[civic scroll]

as for the object i would recommend using null for empty value instead

[serene horizon]

oh okie

[civic scroll]

check the error and fix

[serene horizon]

yeah it doesnt like null

[civic scroll]

you will need to annotate the type

[serene horizon]

thats <typenamehere> right-

[civic scroll]

yup
i normally have

type Nullable<T> = T | null;

[serene horizon]

uh

wat-

[civic scroll]

annotate function return type

[serene horizon]

im so confused im sorry- 😭

[civic scroll]

you declare a generic type that is maybe null, then use it in use state function
so that it allows null values

for example

const [user, setUser] = useState<Nullable<UserData>>(null);

this is useful when you have state with initially no meaningful values

[serene horizon]

like this?

[civic scroll]

yeah

[serene horizon]

oo oki

am i doing the right thing so far-

[civic scroll]

what is fetchAll

[civic scroll]

i don't like its signature

annotate return type of fetchAll

[serene horizon]

me when I look in the mirror

[serene horizon]

normal [] ?

or

sorry

A [UserData | UserGroupData | null]?

[civic scroll]

nope

function fetchAll(...): [UserData, UserGroupData[]] {
    // ...
}

[wheat mesa]

I don’t like returning arrays of different types like that

[civic scroll]

that and the error should go away

[serene horizon]

errr

it has to be a promise though

because its async

[wheat mesa]

I prefer a structure that wraps around both types as a member

[serene horizon]

because await fetch

[civic scroll]

tbh an object would be better

[serene horizon]

or- do i not need await-

[wheat mesa]

You can wrap a promise in it

Promise<InnerType>

[serene horizon]

So return as a object instead?

[civic scroll]

use Promise<T>

[serene horizon]

T?

T=YourType?

[wheat mesa]

T being your type

Yes

[serene horizon]

ahhh

im learning fr

[wheat mesa]

No worries

[serene horizon]

The fuck you mean

[wheat mesa]

The syntax can be challenging at first

[serene horizon]

UserGroupData isnt UserGroupData

[civic scroll]

{
    userData: ...
    userGroupData: ...
}

[serene horizon]

idiot silly thingy smh.

[wheat mesa]

You’re not returning a promise

It wants a promise

[serene horizon]

wait

how do i return apromise-

[civic scroll]

hang on, just... do fetchAll first

[serene horizon]

oh

mu bad

oops

I forgot the []

lol

[civic scroll]

change the signature and reflect return type

actually, you don't even need the return type annotations if you return it as an object

[serene horizon]

I want to return as an obj

[civic scroll]

which then you can destructure it in the consumer function

.then(({ userData, userGroupData }) => ... )

[civic scroll]

do it

[serene horizon]

do u know what i can do about this btw

bc nextauth seems to think a valid discord oauth is name emial image

:Cri:

[serene horizon]

This yuh ?

[civic scroll]

fix your type declaration

[serene horizon]

I.. can't-

It's a predefined Session

idk how to change that

[civic scroll]

tip: you can do property shorthand

return { groupData: groupData }

can be shortened to

return { groupData }

[serene horizon]

o

[civic scroll]

same thing applies with object destructuring

[serene horizon]

this ?

[civic scroll]

except you rename in the first case

[civic scroll]

use userData to fit the naming context

[serene horizon]

This is the useEffect

[serene horizon]

oh okie dokie

[civic scroll]

tip: use guard clauses in this context

if (condition) {
    // do stuff
}

can be

if (!condition)
    return; // early bail out
// do stuff 

would help reduce nesting

[serene horizon]

le

[civic scroll]

do you really need loading in that useState dependency array?

[serene horizon]

productionnnn

[serene horizon]

setLoading(false)

I think so-

[civic scroll]

no

[civic scroll]

that would trigger a 2nd fetchAll call

[serene horizon]

oop

get rid of it all together?

[civic scroll]

just from dependency array would do

you can keep the rest

[serene horizon]

uh

how am i detecting if their

wait

status lol

[civic scroll]

you can mutate states even if it is not present in the dependency array

[warm imp]

Anyone still able to help me I am on PC now

[civic scroll]

it would still rerender as usual

[serene horizon]

uhh now i

figure out why its giving an empty array

[civic scroll]

useEffect is the effect callback, after the component rerenders because of a state change (an effect)

eg. you changing user

[solemn latch]

why are you stealing my site colors 😠

lol

[civic scroll]

wait that might not be the correct description

hmmm

[warm imp]

How to fix

[civic scroll]

still works as usual

[civic scroll]

reinstall node

[warm imp]

I have 5 times

[serene horizon]

nuhuh mineee!

thats better

[civic scroll]

type this in

where.exe npm

and send me the output

[serene horizon]

now im getting an error

well "error"

[warm imp]

In the command VSC

[civic scroll]

also use screenshot (Win + Shift + S)

[civic scroll]

ye, or in windows terminal (Win + X then press I)

[warm imp]

I did it and I got the destination. It Isn't even close to where it needs to be. How do i switch iy

[serene horizon]

awe that's cute

adorable

[civic scroll]

uninstall node

[warm imp]

I have 5 times and it still didn't work.

[civic scroll]

you might also wanna check your environment variables as well

in Path

[warm imp]

How to do that

[serene horizon]

smacks lips

[civic scroll]

Win key, then type "environment variables"

[serene horizon]

500.. oh thats database error

[warm imp]

Now what

[serene horizon]

ruh roh raggy

sounds about right

okay time to

[civic scroll]

@warm imp hang on, send me the output of this command

[serene horizon]

cache the data

[civic scroll]

should have done that earlier

[serene horizon]

lmfao

i dont know how to

so

yay docs time :D

[civic scroll]

make a mock database server

[serene horizon]

a wha huh

[civic scroll]

you heard it

[serene horizon]

alr time to jooj

[civic scroll]

kidding

[serene horizon]

oh

i dont understand humour ngl

[civic scroll]

you really need to throttle your page reloads

jeez

[serene horizon]

uh

how

[civic scroll]

tbh, create a mock server that stores the cached data

that way you can avoid the 429

[serene horizon]

like a jest 1?

[civic scroll]

have the server request once, then store in the cache

change the url to temporarily point to your server

[civic scroll]

strategy is simple

when request
    i get cache
         no cache? fetch external, then store
    return data

[eternal osprey]

this is honestly a next level of asking for help 😭

i've seen it all

1. Code bins
2. Screenshots of code
3. Pictures of a screen that has an error

[serene horizon]

they have chrome, chrome profile and edge...

[warm imp]

How to get in code bins

[serene horizon]

anyways

ill go try make a mock server

[civic scroll]

what was the command that caused this error
npm?

[serene horizon]

😎

[warm imp]

just typing npm

[serene horizon]

that

npm cant not find itself

😭

[civic scroll]

the heck

i think i know

[serene horizon]

tfw npm errored finding npm

[civic scroll]

wait

in nodejs installer, did you check the box to also install npm

[warm imp]

Ummmmmm

idk

[civic scroll]

that file is a shell command
node path/to/npm-cli.js

[serene horizon]

guess what kind of project this was

[warm imp]

Want me to redownload the whole node again or

[civic scroll]

run the installer again, modify the installation and check carefully

[serene horizon]

e a spors

[civic scroll]

make sure you have npm installed

then you will be good

[serene horizon]

@civic scroll cant i jus use a json-server lol

[warm imp]

Which one do i pick

[serene horizon]

i hate life

[civic scroll]

entire feature

yeah

[warm imp]

Anything with path

[sharp geyser]

It’s crazy I’ve never seen someone struggle to install node

[warm imp]

or

[sharp geyser]

[civic scroll]

up to you, though i think the logic is custom, hence programming

[warm imp]

lol

[serene horizon]

mm true.

[civic scroll]

yeah, add to path

[serene horizon]

i could jus send them to the api

or make an entire new one

[civic scroll]

if you want 429, go ahead lol

[serene horizon]

lol

I 429'd on roblox

bc it

[civic scroll]

assuming your page reloads on save

[warm imp]

It didnt download anything

[serene horizon]

requests from roblox

[eternal osprey]

honestly, try to find a tutorial online on how to install node 🤷

[serene horizon]

given its dev; yh

[civic scroll]

ah, choco, no need

[warm imp]

Ok

[sharp geyser]

Just hit enter

[civic scroll]

spawn a new terminal session and check if npm is still there

[sharp geyser]

It literally tells you what to do

[civic scroll]

if it is, restart vscode

[serene horizon]

be niceee

[sharp geyser]

I am being nice

[serene horizon]

be sayu rn

[civic scroll]

what

[sharp geyser]

But I also don’t understand people who can’t read

[warm imp]

It aint me. its the flipping thing

[sharp geyser]

💀

[warm imp]

I download all the things

[serene horizon]

https://tenor.com/bUJcP.gif

[warm imp]

and did it

[civic scroll]

welp time to deploy the machine

[warm imp]

not sure why it isnt working

[sharp geyser]

Try running node -v in a terminal

[civic scroll]

node is there

[sharp geyser]

Okay then what’s the issue

[civic scroll]

not the target script file tho

[sharp geyser]

Well if he redownloaded it, then it would of fixed that

[warm imp]

I have 5 times

i'll do it again

[sharp geyser]

No

[civic scroll]

open the terminal

Win + X, then press I

now

[warm imp]

OK now what

[civic scroll]

type npm

see if it's there

[warm imp]

Same error

[sharp geyser]

Show the error

[eternal osprey]

crazy it's a 3v1 and the error still outplaying you.

[warm imp]

But the code isnt in those files where it is searches

[civic scroll]

malformed environment variables

or rather, not present

[warm imp]

what does that mean

[sharp geyser]

it's looking in the wrong place

[warm imp]

Yeah

How to change it

[sharp geyser]

your path variables are fucked

[warm imp]

Ik

Dont know how to change

[sharp geyser]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24721903/npm-npm-cli-js-not-found-when-running-npm

This post here shows a similar issue

change your path variable for nodejs

point it to look in the correct location, and run npm again

[warm imp]

How

just do dir (location)'

[sharp geyser]

Right, there is no way you don't know how to change environment variables

💀

[civic scroll]

okay let's go

[sharp geyser]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb9e3m98avk

[warm imp]

Just tell me for the people that dont know

[civic scroll]

open environment variables settings

[sharp geyser]

Follow that video

thats the best ima help you

[civic scroll]

you have the window opened?

[sharp geyser]

it has visual exampls too :)

[sharp geyser]

Sayu dont

just let him watch the video

If he can't even watch a video, then you explaining it will trip him up as well

[civic scroll]

i got them to open the window before, might as well point it out

[sharp geyser]

it will save us all the headache if he just watches a 1 minute video

💀

[civic scroll]

@warm imp look in Path and look for any path that has nodejs or node in it
verify that it is correct
if not, remove that entry
then reinstall node

actually don't have to reinstall, but i wanted to make aure

[civic scroll]

dw, i haven't slept

[sharp geyser]

All he has to do is make it point to the root nodejs dir

[serene horizon]

@civic scroll thanks for helping hon

[civic scroll]

yeah

[serene horizon]

imma try the mock server stuff tomorrow (or when i get the energy to)

[civic scroll]

yw

[sharp geyser]

C:\Users\user\ProgramData\nodejs or wherever its installed

[serene horizon]

just to put it in perspective rq;

on this.

[civic scroll]

in this case, C:\Program Files\nodejs

[serene horizon]

Some might say I was stuck.

[sharp geyser]

that works too

[civic scroll]

dw i spent 20 hours once

[serene horizon]

i had

2 breakdowns

[warm imp]

How do i find where node is

[sharp geyser]

💀

[warm imp]

where. node

right?

[civic scroll]

where.exe node

[warm imp]

k

[warm imp]

[civic scroll]

i hate that i have to run with .exe

[sharp geyser]

use cmd ;)

[civic scroll]

hell

actually, it was an alias

[sharp geyser]

better yet, run where.exe npm just to be extra extra sure

💀

[civic scroll]

@sharp geyser

[sharp geyser]

rip

[civic scroll]

is node supposed to be this heavy

[warm imp]

Path is there

[sharp geyser]

I just find it kind of funny how when I first started out with node, I don't remember ever having this much trouble getting it to work

[warm imp]

But it is still going to the other location

[sharp geyser]

have you tried pressing ok to save your changes

[civic scroll]

save that and start a new shell

[sharp geyser]

and then opening a NEW terminal

[serene horizon]

no need to be rude

[warm imp]

I did\

[serene horizon]

youre the one who cant find npm....

[sharp geyser]

path doesn't lie brother

[serene horizon]

:OOOO

infact...

[warm imp]

Still didnt work

[serene horizon]

GASP

[sharp geyser]

right not to be rude

[sharp geyser]

but please go away

:)

[warm imp]

See still going after i changed it

[serene horizon]

lmao im about to

need to sleep

gn

[civic scroll]

for the case of vscode, you will need to restart it

[serene horizon]

@civic scroll again cheers

[warm imp]

Ok

[sharp geyser]

right

[warm imp]

i got it lol

[sharp geyser]

I am not going to teach you how to use a fucking application

[civic scroll]

for quick tests, using a terminal is a very handy one

[serene horizon]

ctrl shift esc - Ctrl + f "Visual Studio Code"

[civic scroll]

just close the window

jeez

[serene horizon]

its vsc dont forget

💀

shit hates the idea of deleting

[civic scroll]

it would close

[serene horizon]

or at least

in my experience

[warm imp]

I am gonna

[civic scroll]

restarting vscode would also refresh the env vars since it has to start a new console host

so yeah

[warm imp]

I did

[civic scroll]

what's the result?

[serene horizon]

wait so

[warm imp]

Same thing

[serene horizon]

theyre able to find npm outside vsc ?

right-?

[warm imp]

No

[sharp geyser]

💀

[serene horizon]

if you

cant find it outside vsc

[warm imp]

It was getting lost in command prompt too

[serene horizon]

you wont fifnd it IN vsc

[sharp geyser]

THEN TELL US THAT YOU BOZO

[warm imp]

I did

[civic scroll]

wait hang on

[warm imp]

👍

[serene horizon]

allow me to introduce you to corepack

[civic scroll]

type in ```
ls C:\Users\natha\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\bin

see what you get

[serene horizon]

corepack install pnpm
corepack enable pnpm bang

[sharp geyser]

well

definitely not the Sayuri part

💀

[civic scroll]

forgor

[warm imp]

ls wont work

[sharp geyser]

ls.exe

[serene horizon]

lol

[sharp geyser]

💀

[civic scroll]

ls is a powershell command alias

[sharp geyser]

is ls even a windows cmd

[serene horizon]

nope

its pwsh

not windows

[sharp geyser]

right

so is he on powershell?

[serene horizon]

imma be honest

idk

[civic scroll]

according to last screenshot, yes

[sharp geyser]

well, i would not be surprised if he decided to switch it up on us

ok

[civic scroll]

remove the Sayuri\ part

[warm imp]

I did both

command & window

[civic scroll]

it was my mistake, apologies

[sharp geyser]

right

[serene horizon]

ls C:\Users\natha\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\bin @warm imp

[civic scroll]

ls C:\Users\natha\Roaming\npm\node_modules\npm\bin

[serene horizon]

get beat

[sharp geyser]

but you should be able to read right? Sayuri is obviouslly not a user on your system

[civic scroll]

wrong ping, L

[sharp geyser]

[serene horizon]

FUCK

jk it didnt ping them

[sharp geyser]

probably

[serene horizon]

oh

for fuck sake

[civic scroll]

for 2nd time

[serene horizon]

shhh

😭

[warm imp]

Still didnt work

[serene horizon]

nah mention edits no

[serene horizon]

SS

[civic scroll]

i need the output

[sharp geyser]

This is starting to feel like teaching Joe biden how to walk up a flight of steps

[civic scroll]

normally it would show something like this

[serene horizon]

There's an alternative to npm

[sharp geyser]

please dont

if he cant even use npm

[serene horizon]

Pretty Pwsh; send me 😏

[sharp geyser]

he wont ever be able to use anything else

[warm imp]

see to make it that i aint doing it in the wrong spot

[serene horizon]

y-

youre

hon

[spark flint]

ls isn't a windows command

[serene horizon]

why are you in administrator

[sharp geyser]

hello bun

welcome to the madness :)

[serene horizon]

ls C:\Users\natha\Roaming\npm

[civic scroll]

wait, why are you in admin
doesn't matter

ls C:\Users\natha\AppData\Roaming\npm

[serene horizon]

oh

[spark flint]

ls doesn't work on windows

[serene horizon]

yeah appdata

[serene horizon]

it does on pwsh

[warm imp]

It isnt in app data for my npm

[sharp geyser]

it does in powershell

[civic scroll]

blud is in powershell

[serene horizon]

silly goose!

[warm imp]

C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe

[spark flint]

oh in powershelll?

[warm imp]

Thats where node is

[spark flint]

anyone that uses powershell is insane

[civic scroll]

you will need to reinstall

[sharp geyser]

that's what I said

[spark flint]

VM time

[sharp geyser]

At this point completly delete node and never touch it again :)

[warm imp]

😦

[sharp geyser]

use rust

[serene horizon]

hey dont discourrage

[sharp geyser]

better language

[civic scroll]

because unfortunately, that path is hardcoded

[sharp geyser]

💪

[serene horizon]

@warm imp can i get you to try corepack rq to see if that can solve it

[spark flint]

me when VM 🗣️ 🔥

[serene horizon]

run this for me rq

[sharp geyser]

all he needs to do is completely remove it from his system, reinstall it to the correct place and then try it again

[warm imp]

To know where i am downloading it

[civic scroll]

am i insane 👉👈

[spark flint]

depends

[sharp geyser]

have you uninstalled the previous installation first????

[serene horizon]

corepack install --global pnpm@stable @warm imp

[warm imp]

Yes

[spark flint]

why pnpm

[civic scroll]

i use windows in linux in windows

[sharp geyser]

Kiwi fucking stop

[spark flint]

just... use npm

stop confusing them

[serene horizon]

if you want bloat...

[spark flint]

ffs

[serene horizon]

they cant even use npm dude

[sharp geyser]

no one fucking cares

[serene horizon]

pnpm is a simpler installation.

[spark flint]

yeah then pnpm wont help lol

[civic scroll]

the thing is, they are having trouble setting up npm
if pnpm ends up in the same fate, i will clown on you

[serene horizon]

shut up u came in here with the rudest attitude man

[sharp geyser]

Because you are the most fucking annoying person here

Yo uaren't even helping

[serene horizon]

no need for the aggression all the time

[sharp geyser]

so shut the fuck up

[civic scroll]

calm down folks

[serene horizon]

@solemn latch

[civic scroll]

geez, calm down

no need to escalate

[deft wolf]

Holy

[serene horizon]

It's always worth trying sayu

[spark flint]

tldr; pnpm won't help because it's just adding more confusing stuff

[sharp geyser]

Let us help him with the current problem

[solemn latch]

👀 maybe its time to step away for a bit 😦

[sharp geyser]

instead of confusing shit

[spark flint]

if they use npm and the guides etc are using npm, then install npm since that is what they will need to follow

[civic scroll]

the main problem is, npm doesn't exist where it's supposed to be
so now we will need to do some shnenanigans

[serene horizon]

@warm imp lemme run it through with you

[sharp geyser]

Woo, no disrespect, but I was always trying to help, not my fault that annoying fucks can't tell they are being more harmful than good

[civic scroll]

we can manuyally download npm

[serene horizon]

mm

[civic scroll]

[serene horizon]

i need to

uninstall first

nevermind

WSL I COME

[spark flint]

no because you are going to install pnpm not npm

[civic scroll]

don't

[warm imp]

I redownload it

[serene horizon]

I was gonna do npm.

[civic scroll]

i want you to literally uninstall node

[sharp geyser]

He already did

[spark flint]

is this entire issue about failing to find npm

[sharp geyser]

And then reinstalled it

[serene horizon]

yep

[warm imp]

I did i went into the control panel and delete it

[civic scroll]

then why node didn't install npm

[spark flint]

;C:\Program Files\nodejs\ on Path Variable -> User variable

[civic scroll]

weird

[sharp geyser]

the binary hard coded the path for npm when he installed it

[spark flint]

[civic scroll]

that is there

[serene horizon]

Anyways;
so you have it uninstalled rn?

[spark flint]

then yeah just uninstall and reinstall node.js and it will fix itself 👍

[serene horizon]

reinstall nodejs

[sharp geyser]

Again, he already reinstalled it

[sharp geyser]

Boom its fixed

[serene horizon]

uhm

[sharp geyser]

there you go

[serene horizon]

npm 10

[sharp geyser]

go about your day

he can upgrade it

[civic scroll]

but %APPDATA\npm\node_modules\npm doesn't exist (it should've)

[sharp geyser]

npm install -g npm@latest

[serene horizon]

whys nodejs installation offering 10 by default wtf

2 sec

[spark flint]

isn't npm 10 the latest

[warm imp]

Not in VSC

[civic scroll]

what

[spark flint]

npm version !== node version

[civic scroll]

samsung emoji

[serene horizon]

wait no nvm i was thinking of py 💀

[spark flint]

literally the latest...

[sharp geyser]

10.5.2

[serene horizon]

used to fixing peoples py311 installs

[sharp geyser]

close it and open it again

[warm imp]

Its going to the wrong thing in VSC

[serene horizon]

not node installs

[warm imp]

i did

[sharp geyser]

Restart your computer for good measure then

[warm imp]

I went in task manager and closed it

[sharp geyser]

Cause if you can use it outside of vsc

then it definitely is working

[civic scroll]

restart your computer

vsc was beyond saving

😔

[warm imp]

k BRB

[serene horizon]

shutdown /s /f /t 0 my beloved

[civic scroll]

Alt + F4

[serene horizon]

yeah u could do that

but

[civic scroll]

but what

[serene horizon]

what if ur in pwsh at the time

[warm imp]

Or 🔫 PC

That Is another way to turn off pc

[spark flint]

have you heard of a power button

[serene horizon]

why waste time alt f4'ing thru a bunch of screens

[serene horizon]

mines on the back

[civic scroll]

Win + D

[spark flint]

then just reach for the back smh

[serene horizon]

nuhuh

i only do that once a week

[warm imp]

Ummmm

[serene horizon]

yh but some software force-

[civic scroll]

even better, contact local power infrastructure to shut down the power

[serene horizon]

close the old powershells

[civic scroll]

what software

[spark flint]

personally i'd just use command prompt instead of vsc terminal

[serene horizon]

^

i prefer to just use terminal

[civic scroll]

personally i would use powershell

it has some utils that i like using

[serene horizon]

command prompt is fucked

but when possible

i use my wsl

[civic scroll]

oh

i misread that

my bad bun

[warm imp]

what happens if i delete VSC and redownload it

[sharp geyser]

What do the settings for vsc look like?

[serene horizon]

what did u misread

[serene horizon]

nothing

youd waste about 5 mins of your time lol

maybe be a minor version up

[warm imp]

What do you want me to search in VSC settings

[sharp geyser]

More interested in the global settings.json file

[warm imp]

How to get there

[serene horizon]

ruh roh

i forgor my wsl password

[sharp geyser]

CTRL SHIFT P and iirc just search for Settings and it should give you an option to view the settings.json file

[serene horizon]

nvm

i got it

[civic scroll]

 command prompt instead of vsc terminal
 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^            ^^^^^^^^^^^^
 |                         misread with `powershell`
 |
 caused by prediction of this prompt
 
 at Sayuri.ParseToken(dir: Linear, strategy: EagerReturnEval)

[serene horizon]

ruh roh

[serene horizon]

got it

how long u spend writing that?

[civic scroll]

not long

[serene horizon]

too long? 😭

[sharp geyser]

💀

this generation is hopeless

[warm imp]

Oh wait

[warm imp]

Lol\

[serene horizon]

@warm imp ctrl+r wt bish bash bosh use that

[civic scroll]

500ms

[serene horizon]

NUHUH

UR MSG DIDNT EVEN SEND THAT FAST.

[civic scroll]

typing takes time

[serene horizon]

my dev drive has you in it fr

[civic scroll]

what

[sharp geyser]

guess its not vsc settings

[serene horizon]

sayu_smells

[sharp geyser]

Just resintall vsc

see if that works

[warm imp]

K

[sharp geyser]

if not then its another issue entirely

[warm imp]

Google sucks

[civic scroll]

bet it smells like lavender

[warm imp]

It didnt show anything

[sharp geyser]

Though what that issue is, no idea because it works outside of it

[serene horizon]

kinda smells of heat ngl.

[civic scroll]

this gotta be one of the most confusing diagnosis

[sharp geyser]

good thing im not a doctor

[civic scroll]

works in powershell, but not vscode terminal (which uses powershell)

[serene horizon]

yay its 00:00

OKAY GN.

[civic scroll]

i won fnaf

[sharp geyser]

honestly could be something fucked with vsc I wouldn't be surprised

[civic scroll]

it might be

[warm imp]

Do i change that

[sharp geyser]

no

[warm imp]

k

[sharp geyser]

unless you want to

[warm imp]

Ok it is now installed \

How do i restart my powershell

for the path

Wait it isnt VSC

idk

It's because the path

And I don't know how to change it

Besides going into environment variables which I already did

[sharp geyser]

at this point I’ve exhausted all options

You’ve already reinstalled it completely which should logically fix it

[sharp geyser]

What does your system path look like

There is two different paths

User path and system path

[warm imp]

Here

@sharp geyser

[proven lantern]

i was looking through my codebase for code smells and found a place where i'm using null. it looks like discord is requiring me to send content: null to get rid of the content. is discord planning to change this behavior?

is there anyway to avoid using null here? i think i would need discord to update their api

[wheat mesa]

Why do you care

Is this another one of those “code smell” rants

[proven lantern]

removing code smells

i even said in my post

i was looking through my codebase for code smells

[wheat mesa]

Didn’t read too much

[proven lantern]

it was the first sentence

[wheat mesa]

Code smells are a played up concept and you should not care this much about them

[proven lantern]

i just put out a big update and wanted to do some cleaning

[wheat mesa]

You are quite literally sending data to discord, and you yourself are not reading it anywhere. Null should not matter to you here

[proven lantern]

i have to use null right? no way out of it?

unless discord updates

[wheat mesa]

Pretty sure

You really shouldn’t be caring this much. I hate the concept of “code smells” because they are a blanket of rules that say “NEVER do [x]” when in fact, there are plenty of valid situations where it is either unavoidable or unreasonable to avoid

[proven lantern]

yeah, every language should have undefined and null in it

[wheat mesa]

Every language has some concept of emptiness whether you agree with the name or not

[proven lantern]

every feature must be used

they usually have 1 concept of it

not 2

[wheat mesa]

Undefined is a mistake, I understand avoiding undefined

But null exists in every language whether you like it or not, there is just different ways of handling it

[proven lantern]

undefined is built into the language. null is extra. but if they renamed undefined to null and removed undefined that would work

[wheat mesa]

Rust has Option<T> instead of null, arguably one of the best ways of handling it

[proven lantern]

yeah, rust is pretty good for a typed language

[wheat mesa]

This level of code nitpicking makes it difficult to contribute to projects because you are more worried about your “code smells” than the actual code itself

Perfect code is not feasible to write. Strive for perfection, don’t expect it

These small little things are not problematic to the point where you need to find ways around them

[proven lantern]

spaghetti code is easy at first, then you cant add anything to it

[wheat mesa]

Nobody said spaghetti code was okay to write

You’re trying to get rid of a null where it would make literally 0 difference because it is only ever touched by discord, not you

That is nitpicking

[proven lantern]

i wanted to remove a line of code. when you see null it's a sign that something could be wrong

[wheat mesa]

That is not a good mindset to have

I am pretty sure that nobody treats null as something that indicates a problem unless you’re not expecting it to be possible to be null

[proven lantern]

i need content: null here because discord wont delete the content part when you update a message unless you send content over

[wheat mesa]

And what’s wrong with that?

[proven lantern]

it's like half stateful and half stateless. the top level props have state, but props inside dont.

[wheat mesa]

You’re thinking about it far too deep

What about this line bothers you

[proven lantern]

i have to send content: null instead of just not sending content.

i had a bug because of that

[wheat mesa]

And you have solved the bug, no?

Then this line is not a code smell

[proven lantern]

it's discord's code smell transfering to my code

dang

[wheat mesa]

You have to do that, and there’s nothing you can do to change that. Saying it’s a code smell because there’s null isn’t valid

Sure, it might be odd on discord’s end, but you are also worrying far too much over 1 line that you already figured out simply because an arbitrary set of rules says it’s bad

[proven lantern]

i could probably use empty string instead

it is bad, it caused a bug

[wheat mesa]

If discord is expecting a content field, I’d imagine that it would be unhappy if it didn’t receive one

[proven lantern]

discord is happy not to recieve the content field

the original message is an embed

[wheat mesa]

Well then again, not a problem on your end. Discord should give you an error and they didn’t

Nothing you can do to fix that

[proven lantern]

then i update it with a content part to ping players when it's ready

then i update it again if someone leaves so it only has an embed with no content, but i have to send content: null instead of just ommiting it

this is the api
https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/channel#edit-message

it looks like they fixed it for attachments

[quasi trench]

Need a help

How can I change my bot pfp in top.gg

Please tell me someone !

[lament rock]

You cant

[warm surge]

you can**

@lament rock #support message

[lament rock]

Whoops didn't see bot in there

Im r

[honest fox]

uh guys where did my votes go?

any ideas?

[harsh aspen]

votes reset every month

[honest fox]

oh

yeah that makes some sense

ty

[civic scroll]

pylance is tripping

[radiant kraken]

seeing camelCase in Python is so cursed

[civic scroll]

it's a java library

so ofc

[radiant kraken]

ah yes java + python

worst of both worlds

[civic scroll]

actually, it has

i think the camel case is for people who have java muscle memory

[frosty gale]

make functions with the camel case install a backdoor

thats what they get trying to bring their java shenanigans into python

[elder eagle]

Hi everyone, I'm programming my discord bot and I'm encountering this error, I don't understand how to fix it. Does anyone know what causes this problem? Many thanks in advance

[lyric mountain]

that means you tried to fetch or process an interaction (eg: buttons) that no longer exists

[elder eagle]

I have this in the code:

await interaction.reply({ files: [{ attachment: canvas.toBuffer(), name: 'profile.png' }] });

Could that be what's causing this error?

[lyric mountain]

maybe, cant say much without the full code

[wheat mesa]

Chances are you either tried to fetch an expired interaction or something like that

It’s also possible that you didn’t defer the interaction and it expired before you could respond

[quartz kindle]

interactions must be replied to within 3 seconds

if your code is taking too long to respond (seeing you have image generation with canvas), the interaction will expire

the 3 seconds also count network delays, so realistically your code has less time than that

[elder eagle]

Exactly, I have to generate a fairly complex image and it's possible that it takes me more than 3 seconds, but how can I solve it then? Isn't there another way?

[quartz kindle]

ie, if it takes 300ms for the request to arrive, then another 300ms for the response to be delivered, the actual code only has 2.4 seconds to respond

[elder eagle]

exactly

[quartz kindle]

as soon as you receive the interaction, respond with a deferReply

afterwards you can take all the time you want

[elder eagle]

So if I do something like this I shouldn't have any time problems right?

await interaction.deferReply()

/* My code to generate the image */

await interaction.reply({ files: [{ attachment: canvas.toBuffer(), name: 'profile.png' }] });

[deft wolf]

Change .reply() to .editReply()

[elder eagle]

Thanks so much guys ❤️❤️❤️

I was going crazy over this error

[lyric mountain]

you will if you take too long, but the timeframe will be extended

iirc it'll extend to 15 min or so after deferral

[elder eagle]

yes its perfect

thank you again

[lyric mountain]

daemon is better if you're building many times iirc

I meant building many times, like, edit build edit build edit build

not many projects

if you want to speed it up, it's better if u increase gradle threads

default is 4 iirc

[wooden ember]

How would I make a message response activate for a word like "no" but not activate where the word if part of another like "now"? I know there is a way but can't remember. I thought of just using .startswith or whatever the filter is called but that still wouldn't work for words like now and that.

my command handler makes the message content into an array so I suppose I could just use that. see if the first word matches "no" or whatever

[wheat mesa]

.split(' ')[0].trim().toLowerCase() === 'no'?

This is probably a tragic way of doing this but if you’re only checking the first word then I don’t see why it would be a big deal

[wooden ember]

does that just make the message into an array and then just see if the first argument is no?

[wheat mesa]

Assuming that you’re using the full content of the message, yes

[wooden ember]

nice

[wheat mesa]

If it’s already split by your handler then you can get rid of the .split

[wooden ember]

yeah thats what I was thinking

[wheat mesa]

But again, probably not a great way of doing it. Not sure what your needs are for this

[solemn latch]

If you just want it to only respond to "no"
Then content === "no" :p

[quartz kindle]

you dont need the trim either, if you split with \s+ regex for example

[wheat mesa]

If you just want to see if “no” exists in a sentence somewhere in there, you can use a regex

Yeah

[wooden ember]

my needs are, "its a funny bot on a mates discord" so I don't really mind about bad practice lol. that went out the window long ago

[wheat mesa]

Regex can match basically anything you think of but I forget the syntax for stuff since I don’t use it very often

[wooden ember]

I know a bit of it but its not fresh in my mind at all

for my use case (ie to just say yes when some one says no) it would work better if its only from the first word not if its at any point in a sentance

[solemn latch]

Why wouldnt

content === "no"

work then?

[wooden ember]

cuz

I didn't think of that

lol

[deft wolf]

[wooden ember]

I think I am just using .includes at the moment so yeah I think I will just change it to that.

one of these days I will actually make the auto responses their own command file instead of just being typed in the top of the message event file

but eh I will probabvyl do that when I have to rewrite my entire bot the next time I put it on another server because node.js will be on version 1000 by then and nothing will work

I'm tired of this grandpa

[wheat mesa]

Use d++

It’s better

;^)

[sharp geyser]

Everyone is recommending dpp lately

[wheat mesa]

Great library

Efficient too

[frosty gale]

its everything a discord library for a large bot should be

[sharp geyser]

indeed

[frosty gale]

storing things efficiently and caching sparingly becomes extremely crucial especially with discords JSON type data

[sharp geyser]

Its quite the jump from js to c++ tho

[frosty gale]

json is very inefficient to store and play with

its basically a map but lets you have nested maps inside of it as well

[frosty gale]

i would honestly take on the challenge of porting an existing js bot to c++ if i had one

but a lot of discord developers dont do languages like that

[sharp geyser]

I agree

I would not recommend starting out using D++ though unless you are completely new to programming

If you are already far into using js then stick with it until the need for D++ arises

[lyric mountain]

json is a map lul

[frosty gale]

a lot of implementations anyways

this library is only for reading json but it doesnt store it as a map https://simdjson.org/ (not rapidjson)

it lets you jump through the keys and values on demand

nothing gets parsed until you need it

and consumed values disappear so memory footprint is extremely low

but it takes away the simplicity of json really

[frosty gale]

the memory requirement per server count in discord.js is ridiculous

you need a somewhat beefy server already at only a couple of thousand servers

it was even worse before they added in partials and better cache control

[lyric mountain]

oh i meant json itself, you can parse/read it in other ways ofc

[sharp geyser]

Oh I know, its stupid, mac's bot uses 16gb right now
