native narwhal
Well shouldn't edits be included in bot:msg:channel
austere meadow
5/5s sounds fine
i was wondering because i had this great idea but i didnt know if it would hit the ratelimits
but i dont think it even comes close
native narwhal
What is the idea?
austere meadow
i can’t share 
native narwhal
Awe 😂
austere meadow
mainly because i dont know if its possible
native narwhal
I mean if you share I could give my opinion on if it is possible or not >:P
austere meadow
i can tell you in dms i just dont want people stealing my idea
native narwhal
Yeah I get that
slender thistle
Share in DMs plz. 
halcyon abyss
those rates are not shared between shards, are they ?
native narwhal
I dobut it
fluid basin
They are I guess
Since it uses token for api auth, ratelimits are tracked using token as identifier I suppose
But maybe it gets increased for bigger bots
native narwhal
50 messages per 10s global across mutliple shards doesn't make any sense, makes more sense per shard
fluid basin
Well idk
native narwhal
I am not sure
fluid basin
honestly no one knows xD #discord-internals
native narwhal
Someone get me a Discord employee
fluid basin
halcyon abyss
even per shards I find this limit really restraining
halcyon abyss
With a 1k guild pr shard
fluid basin
idk told you it might vary depending on number of guilds etc.
just probably undisclosed xD
especially for bigger bots

Does anyone know someone that works for Discord
earnest phoenix
nop
vestal cradle
@earnest phoenix can i ask a question
earnest phoenix
Yea?
vestal cradle
how do you check of a user when you don't have mention or id just example Duck#9999
with a bot of course
earnest phoenix
with what lib
vestal cradle
i can give a command example too if you want
earnest phoenix
What library are you using
vestal cradle
Yes
ruby dust
@vestal cradle idk how discord.js works, but one I can tell is discord.py has a member object predefined in different ways, mentioning, name, user id, and it will handle it for you
vestal cradle
oh thank you @earnest phoenix sorry for super late am working on a game project lalal
spring ember
I18n
which basically means you make a json (or whatever data structure like it) and make response strings
twin basalt
But the bot is in english and the footer is in Portuguese
spring ember
you code the footer
twin basalt
It's probably translated client-side
spring ember
umm send message id
twin basalt
twin basalt
But wouldn't a timestamp look like this?
low rivet
for discord.py:
discord.Embed(timestamp=datetime.datetime.now())
that's a hardcoded timestamp @twin basalt
It doesn't use discord's timestamp thing in embeds
twin basalt
You mean the client-side translated one or the last one I sent?
twin basalt
oh nice
discord.js would be
<RichEmbed>.setTimestamp(Date.now())
Lemme see if it works then
spring ember
d.js also has {embed:{timestamp: Date.now()}}
spring ember
that's what I do with Eris, sooo
trim plinth
that's because eris doesn't have the embed builder like d.js 
ruby dust
@low rivet about that discord.Embed(timestamp=datetime.datetime.now()), I was trying to make it myself once, but it seemed like it was using some timezone's timestamp instead of showing the client's time, as I can see it works with @gilded plank in #mod-logs, so I just assume it's either some weird bug or I don't know how to make it show the client timestamp
old glade
sup' guys. how do i auto send message with discord.py ?
The pattern is the following:
receive event -> send message
also I wanna make it user friendly which means the best idea would be the user to opt in to auto receive messages
instead of typing the command
spring ember
give more context
old glade
My bot is going to retrieve data from a json
like every 30 min
and I want him to auto display the data
spring ember
where?
old glade
on a discord chat
spring ember
first of all don't notify all servers on an event not related to all of them
but else just get the id
old glade
I think the event will be related to all of them
wanna retrieve the latest cryptocurrency listing on coinmarketcap
but what would be nice is an option for the server admin to opt in to enable auto send
I don't wanna spam you see
vestal cradle
lol sorry for yesterday @uncut slate i was making my own stuff harder hope ya forgive meee
spring ember
@old glade save the channels you will send in and iterate over the (better be) set
old glade
ok
olive drum
How do I send a custom emoji in another guild with discord.js?
halcyon torrent
get the ID of the emoji
spring ember
There is an emoji id
halcyon torrent
<:x:ID> is enough
spring ember
You don't have nitro @olive drum
solid cliff
earnest phoenix
bots have mini nitro lol
spring ember
Bots have
vestal cradle
Ahm discord.js anyone knows how like hmmmmm dm a user by it's tag no need of a mention?
earnest phoenix
why use tags
vestal cradle
Well lets say the bot it's in a server that you aren't and you want to dm a user that you aren't friends with
earnest phoenix
get user by id
vestal cradle
of coourse using the bot
restive silo
use Collection#find on the Client#users collection and use .send() on that with the content
wait
you cannot DM users you aren't sharing servers with
👀
vestal cradle
but the bot is
restive silo
thats a Discord API Limitation
vestal cradle
oh..
earnest phoenix
ripsdee
low rivet
workaround, get ur bot to every server in discord
earnest phoenix
anyway is anyone around experienced with Mongo? i need some help with it
restive silo
no memes in #development kthxbye
low rivet
i do mongo in python @earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
wut
vestal cradle
@restive silo tho can you give an example of collection#find
wihile searching for user tho
oh nvm am so dumb
earnest phoenix
@low rivet do you use mongodb?
restive silo
<client>.users.find(user => user.tag === 'your tag in here')
yup
earnest phoenix
can you help me then
vestal cradle
thank you
low rivet
ok but what lang are u using? 
earnest phoenix
the shell and node
low rivet
i use python
low rivet
yes i do
low rivet
go ahead
earnest phoenix
lol sure
vestal cradle
❤ @restive silo see yaaa
earnest phoenix
so i have this document { "user": "123456789", "data": { "fieldone": { "food": "pizza"}, "fieldtwo": { "food": "rice"} } } and i wanna find all documents with the user "123456789" and their food as pizza or rice for example
i know how to find all documents with the user "123456789" but idk how to do the rest
earnest phoenix
the thing is I want to find all documents where pizza is the food of any of the fields
without specifying the fields
i think
uncut slate
hmmmm actually not sure, taking a look
uncut slate
hmm
so it looks like the only way you can query that is with $where which kinda performs like shit on large scale
earnest phoenix
My bot is small scale lol
So no issues there
I've heard maybe an index could be a solution
I'm not too deep on mongo indexes though
uncut slate
same
earnest phoenix
All I know is that the default index is _id
uncut slate
so if you want to use $where, you would do something like
db.test.find({
$where: function () {
return Object.keys(this.data).some(key =>
this.data[key].food === 'pizza'
)
}
})
I'm not sure how you would do it with indexes, but that would probably be better
earnest phoenix
Well I'm not sure either
Also can you use JavaScript functions in the mongo shell?
uncut slate
depends on how complex I guess, it's pretty much a full js repl
earnest phoenix
Ah that's cool
uncut slate
should work just fine https://tweetcord.ratelimited.today/cefaca.png
it would throw if data didn't exist though
earnest phoenix
rip got an error
uncut slate
what is it
earnest phoenix
now its gone lol
i think its because i changed my collection
the structure i mean
k let me try now
ye its working
thanks
now i gotta put it in my node file
vestal cradle
@uncut slate i have a question no help and stuff just a question
or anyone who knows js
or discord.js
quiet bobcat
vestal cradle
is there a way to look thru and message a member from a server where bot is added on but you never heard about it
@quiet bobcat there
spring ember
never heard about it what?
abstract mango
as in like what
you want to message a member from a server, but you don't know the user
unique solar
sometimems nuget is a pain to deal with
vestal cradle
no like if you want to mesage a member from a server where your bot is in but you don't have invite for it @abstract mango
trim saddle
@vestal cradle ez get the users id
vestal cradle
but you can't message that Id with bot since you aren't in same server @trim saddle
i thought it was easy too until i came across trying it Xd
trim saddle
can't you make your bot generate an invite for the server
vestal cradle
Ye well besides that point i was just asking if it's possible to do that
trim saddle
it is
vestal cradle
not to generate invite
the other thingy i asked from beginning XD
wait can you actualy make an invite wit ha bot
with*
coz that would be pretty handy
trim saddle
ye but your bot needs the proper permissions
vestal cradle
Ye i do know that XD i totally didn't make the invite to ask evvery permission in invites XD
actually the only reason i actually did that was because since i have suggestions open if someone suggests something cool
and i add it with a permission i don't have it yet
that means everyone would have to kick and readd the bot
i think i edited the bot page adding that too
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix where do i put client.guilds.map(g => g.name).join("\n- ")
That will generate a list of server names, so typically within an embed or a standard message.
ok
Make sure you replace client within your client instance variable name though...
module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
let sicon = message.guild.iconURL;
let serverembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setDescription("Server Information")
.setColor("#15f153")
.setThumbnail(sicon)
.addField("Server Name", message.guild.name)
.addField("Created On", message.guild.createdAt)
.addField("You Joined", message.member.joinedAt)
.addField("Total Members", message.guild.memberCount);
.addField("Servers client.guilds.map(g => g.name).join("\n- ")")
can I use a if statement like this? (LaunchDate - now == (60000x5 || 60000x5 + 1))
Okay well @earnest phoenix you'll have to replace your quotes on that field with backticks
spring ember
doing it as a json will look so much better tho
earnest phoenix
can u do it for me plz im noob
spring ember
no
earnest phoenix
Yeh sure
spring ember
no spoon feeding cmon
earnest phoenix
But you should really learn.
spring ember
just do ``
earnest phoenix
cna you do mebeded in json?
(LaunchDate - now == (60000x5 || 60000x5 + 1))
@earnest phoenix consider taking a few basic courses on NodeJS and the JS syntax, it'll help you a lot with creating a bot.
is that a proper use of if?
module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {
let sicon = message.guild.iconURL;
let serverembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setDescription("Server Information")
.setColor("#15f153")
.setThumbnail(sicon)
.addField("Server Name", message.guild.name)
.addField("Created On", message.guild.createdAt)
.addField("You Joined", message.member.joinedAt)
.addField("Total Members", message.guild.memberCount);
.addField("Total Members", 'client.guilds.map(g => g.name).join("\n- ")');
like that?
It doesnt feel like that but it would be awesome if
Those don't appear to be backticks, those are single quotes
`
``
.addField("Total Members", client.guilds.map(g => g.name).join("\n- "));
To create a template literal within JS, you now need to wrap your code like so "${ **code here **}. In this case you'll put the guild map inside the wrapping.
can u fix .addField("Total Members", client.guilds.map(g => g.name).join("\n- "));
plz
so i can see
spring ember
dude you should learn js before developing a bot
spring ember
and he doesn't need backticks
just do .addField("Total Members", client.guilds.map(g => g.name).join("\n- "));
earnest phoenix
You're right, I didnt realize that was a field
I never use fields in embeds, don't ask why lol
?
How do you use embeds then+ Xd
error
I usually just use the description with new lines
Your client instance is named bot, not client
so replace client with bot in the guild map
let sicon = message.guild.iconURL;
let serverembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setDescription("Server Information")
.setColor("#15f153")
.setThumbnail(sicon)
.addField("Server Name", message.guild.name)
.addField("Created On", message.guild.createdAt)
.addField("You Joined", message.member.joinedAt)
.addField("Total Members", message.guild.memberCount);
.addField("Total Members", bot.guilds.map(g => g.name).join("\n- "));````is that correct?
spring ember
dude sorry you should learn js
spring ember
the problem is we are doing the job for you
spring ember
I recommend picking up and finishing a js tutorial from websites like codeacademy or sololearn
earnest phoenix
Send the error then.

Meh sorry, just tryna help
Spoonfeeding 
You have two semi colons @earnest phoenix
o
The semi colon ends the embed constructor
^
spring ember
two semicolons don't do anything @earnest phoenix
spring ember
oh really?
earnest phoenix
You don't even have to use semi colons to end an embed const.
earnest phoenix
yes
in c its very important
in JS
who cares looks good
but its not that important
@spring ember see that - ```js
.addField("Total Members", message.guild.memberCount);
.addField("Total Members", bot.guilds.map(g => g.name).join("\n- "));
Btw I have a js related question

yes?

yes the problem is you have a ;

The embed constructor is ending at the field above, he has a field beneath with another semi colon
you're breaking the chain
It's ending before he needs it to.

maybe you removed the wrong one
The token is unexpected because the embed constructor ended on the line previous.

I'm retrieving data from mysql using Node, right now I want to show an embed that will display fields with some values based on the mysql results. So far I have a results.forEach function that will add every row to an array I created but I want to know how do I create like for example an embed that adds fields according to how many results Node fetches from mysql, is it even possible?
for loop
Wasn't attempting to spoon feed, but I apologize. I have read the rules.
olive drum
Create embed instance, add a field using the function in the for loop.
earnest phoenix
^
Hmm
O forgot about for loops
I*
and then teh foor loop just goes until found the end of array or file
Lul
XD
Lol
That's cool though
I'll try it
since you're doing mysql now btw, sequelize is worth taking a look
Thanks
saves ton of time
Sequelize?
d.js has a getting started on it
its a db ORM
so you do js instead of sql
spring ember
postgres ahem ahem
spring ember
mysql is just too outdated
if you are actually starting a database start with postgres
earnest phoenix
Indeed it is.
Thanks for the help guys
Anyone here ever used SQL Server?
Well I use mysql and mongo
Mongo is amazing
Best NoSQL databse out there imo
I'm using mariadb which was a fork of mysql originally
spring ember
if you go with NoSQL go with mongo, sql -> postgres
earnest phoenix
and I'm happy with it
I tried postgres
Marias another good one
But couldn't get the server started
earnest phoenix
I don't have any distros on my hdd rn
spring ember
pg has something for anyone
leaden furnace
hello
earnest phoenix
No
For windows
uhm
I just can't start the server through cmd
You can technically run exe files on linux if you use wine
earnest phoenix
I'm using a localhost setup on windows 8.1
spring ember
ok
earnest phoenix
I downloaded an installer for it
spring ember
so it is a command line interface?
earnest phoenix
Assuming it's like mongo and mysql then yes
earnest phoenix
The pc I'm using isn't a server pc
But I use it for testing stuff
I'm using regular win 8.1 install
I think win8 pro or something
spring ember
ok so just use the normal installer lol
earnest phoenix
That's the thing, I used the official windows installer
spring ember
lol
earnest phoenix
But I don't know how to start the server
earnest phoenix
Isn't that a gui
spring ember
yes
earnest phoenix
I assumed it was so I skipped installing it
Because I thought you could access the served through command line
spring ember
we all like that sweet sweet gui
spring ember
powershell
earnest phoenix
Am I retarded or why wont that work? I send the whole fucking client parameter with it o.o
Lol powershell
Uninstall pls
@spring ember btw can you tell me why you prefer postgres over other sql dbs?
earnest phoenix
Doesn't mysql support json data types
And lol if I want a json db I use Mongo
json has arrays?
lmao
Not sql
not natively but you could use blob
^
spring ember
json always had arrays 
earnest phoenix
yea
so
whats added
I picked mariadb because its sql and I was used to mysql for a few years
plus its out of the box for the most part
and its trusted by some bikk companies
Mariadb is a child of mysql
Pretty much
no its like the child that run off home
Pretty sure mariadb was originally a fork of MySQL if Im correct
and become a billionare
Lol
yes it was a fork of mysql originally

Any particular command handler you're using?

first question: have u tried googling the problem first?
violet wyvern
Yes
olive drum
Here's a run down thing
Store disabled commands in array, check if in array when run, don't run if in array
earnest phoenix
You could, but that seems somewhat annoying, especially if you've got a large amount of commands
violet wyvern
What do you think is a
large amount of commands?
olive drum
Number-wise? How many do you have?
olive drum
Ik
violet wyvern
Hmm I have 43 commands
earnest phoenix
How would I go about adding a for loop in a richembed constructor?
olive drum
.
earnest phoenix
For djs
olive drum
Didn't I explain it earlier?
Here's just a simple version:
create the RichEmbed/MessageEmbed instance
loop through items
add field to embed instance
end loop
Not you.
earnest phoenix
violet wyvern
But my bot has a lot of commands
olive drum
I can't really think of other ways atm, sorry
earnest phoenix
comment out the entire command file
earnest phoenix
Twas a joke, but I'd just try Atomik's method, I'm working on something rn so I can't really think of anything better as of now.
You'll just have to make a decent length array if you want to include all of your commands.
spring ember
to enable or disable commands you need a database and some kind of check at the start of the command
fickle hawk
cough sqlite cough
spring ember
to know if to execute or to not
olive drum
Well.
An empty array,
The block command adds the command specified to the array
the unblock removes it from the array
At the start of the command it checks if the command is in the array, if it is not, it runs

@violet wyvern https://www.codecademy.com/learn/introduction-to-javascript Go through this and check out this before you try to understand the language, maybe then you can figure out the problems you're running into

after I tryed to run !invite with if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "invite"); ...

I have a feeling that message, is not defined

Can you show the line where you hook the message event?
spring ember
which means there is no such var called message
earnest phoenix
what line?
earnest phoenix
var prefix = "." client.on('message', msg => {
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "invite"));
message.channel.send(".");
});

msg is not message

You defined message as msg.

Either change msg to message or your message to msg.

olive drum
Lol, two secnds.
earnest phoenix
close what
earnest phoenix
I am dumb I know, but what should I close?
tepid laurel
@earnest phoenix your code makes it so that whenever any message starts with '.' it replies
Your bot also sends '.'
Meaning it will also reply on that
earnest phoenix
oh
tepid laurel
Hence an endless loop
If you wanna prevent that
Check if the author is a bot before doing anything
if(!msg.author.bot) return;
Or you could even do it differently
earnest phoenix
Okay
tepid laurel
But its most efficient to just check if its a bot
earnest phoenix
client.on('message', message => { if(!message.author.bot) return; if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "invite")); message.channel.send("message here"); }); is that right?
no
you’re closing your if statement
it’s if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "invite")) { code here }
learn nodejs
im new

Then learn it..
earnest phoenix
learn tho
we was all new
but we learnt
simple as
it still spams
what
btw remove that !

Okay, thanks.
slender thistle
Any good sources to learn js and code examples?
earnest phoenix
No probelm. And the bot replys to every message with the "invite command" it doesn't "cares" about the prefix+invite.
earnest phoenix
var prefix = '-'
client.on('message', message => {
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix + "invite"));
if (message.author.bot) return;
message.channel.send("msg here");

slim heart
Anyone got a guide or something where a form can be submitted on a website and then the bot receives it?
glossy sand
who really cares about the language
you should run a web server on your bot
then design a form on your website that submits to your bot's ip
i don't have a guide but the principle as i've described is pretty simple

Simple for you lmaoo

have you used express before

uhh ok do you know anything about http requests at all

how do you put images in embeds? Ive tried thumbnailURL and ImageUrl properties. Im getting the image url from DiscordBotsList api
like from a bot
slim heart
i was trying to look up guides and this came up 😂
trim plinth
wot n tarnation
glossy sand
are there actually any js microframework libs that aren't as heavy as express
glossy sand
it's express with async/await and less bloat i guess
uncut slate
ye, little to none, pretty barebones

i've never understood why they like the cascading callback chain thing so much
hazy marten
yo guys
topaz fjord
?
hazy marten
so I made a custom emoji
and I know you can do the slash emoji name to find the id
but I'm trying to find out how to get the id using the bot
I'm using python 3
btw
hazy marten
but on the api it has a function for Emoji ID's
floral stone
yes
hazy marten
but I can't find out how to use them
floral stone
you would need to get the emoji as a class
You'll have to define it first then get the Id
floral stone
em = bot.get_emoji(id) #getsemoji
hazy marten
or
hazy marten
oh
why doesn't it say that on the api D:<
ok thank you
I'm going to check it out
floral stone
:happy: isn't an id and np
slim heart
Hold on would it be possible to request info from dbl api to my website cuz that'd probably be easier
floral stone
check the emoji class
floral stone
@slim heart check out dbl api
hazy marten
and in id is the method
slim heart
Ik but like would it be possible to do it on a website
hazy marten
raise CommandInvokeError(e) from e
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: AttributeError: '<class 'discord.ext.commands.bot.Bot'>' object has no attribute 'get_emoji'
🤔
hazy marten
async.get_emoji ?
hazy marten
how do i check that
floral stone
discord._version_
knotty steeple
lmao
hazy marten
0.16.12
spring ember
async
floral stone
^
floral stone
no
floral stone
First, why do you need to fetch the id for.
hazy marten
so I made custom emojis
and I want the bot to use them
I want it to able to function on multiple servers
as well
floral stone
you could just store the emoji to a variable
hazy marten
yea
but how do I get that
on the bot
I don't want it
to ask for the id everytime
floral stone
emoji = "<385689172179943435>"
hazy marten
you use the opposite of /
slim heart
right click the emoji u want and hit open link
slender thistle
Don't forget about the string.
hazy marten
and then <emojiname>
slim heart
get the ID
floral stone
he wants to get the id
hazy marten
the ID is server specific though
slim heart
const yes = bot.emojis.get("emojid");
slender thistle
That's not Python.
slim heart
oh nus
floral stone
^
floral stone
async doesn't have get emoji either
floral stone
emojis = discord.utils.get(message.server.emojis, id=id)
I believe that works
for getting an emoji from a server
I'm going to sleep
sry man

@earnest phoenix async not rewrite
hazy marten
Ill try again
earnest phoenix
oof
coral dock
Hi! Just one Question, how to use the new FortniteApi? I can't find the Stats
hazy marten
@floral stone I got it. Its message.server.emojis , and it puts it in a list. Thank you so so sooooooo much ❤
earnest phoenix
message.react("🇦").then(x => {
x.react("🇧").then(y => {
y.react("🇨");
});
});
```won't workit's not an emote
topaz fjord
whats wrong
topaz fjord
use await™
neat falcon
no u
topaz fjord
yes
earnest phoenix
await Promise.all(["🇦", "🇧", "🇨"].map(emote => message.react(emote)));
@earnest phoenix there
uncut slate
not quite the same thing
yours would run in parallel and might result in an order that isn't ABC, e.g. BAC
if the order of your reactions is important, you want to resolve the promises in series, not parallel
uncut slate
it will go in order, but it's not resolved in order
uncut slate
it's not consistent, emphasis on might
uncut slate
yeah, it'll be worse when DAPI is shitting itself (99% of the time)
earnest phoenix
await message.react("🇦");
await message.react("🇧");
await message.react("🇨");
kek
uncut slate
alternatively
const emojis = ['A', 'B', 'C'];
for (const emoji of emojis) {
await message.react(emoji);
}
if it's under 3 you might aswell just call them individually w/o a loop though
knotty steeple
so my eval code wasnt in an async function so i just removed the await and it reacted C, B, A
also which is better, pm2 or forever
uncut slate
depends on preference, I prefer pm2
knotty steeple
a few days ago i was using pm2 with my bot
i tried to restart it but pm2 couldn't kill the process
same thing with restart
but instead when restarting i get Unknown id <id>
earnest phoenix
how did you restart
knotty steeple
pm2 restart
just like you normally would
well with the bot name ofc
this happened when i crashed my bot with a while loop
earnest phoenix
uh xD
pm2 list will list running instances under pm2, you can restart individually with their id or pm2 restart all for every instance
@uncut slate i mean, ur for loop can be out of order
uncut slate
uh no
earnest phoenix
yes because for of await is dumb
uncut slate
it's awaiting each promise before it goes to the next iteration
trim plinth
```js
const emojis = [":joy:", ":ok_hand:", ":100:"];
emojis.forEach(async (uwu) => await message.react(uwu));
that would also be out of sync @trim plinth
trim plinth
rip
uncut slate
.forEach(async returns a promise immediately
uncut slate
an async function returns a promise, I'm referring to the async bit
not the output of the forEach call itself
earnest phoenix
yes but, forEach returns void meaning that code would never work even if awaited and, message.react is a promise so making the callback a async function and returning await is silly to say the least
uncut slate
it is silly, but you're missing the point
trim plinth
interesting
earnest phoenix
the for loop that timmy posted would be the way to go
await it and it'll be in sync
slim heart
How would i turn xml from a xmlHttpRequest into its own variable
I want to make server_count into it's own variable
earnest phoenix
uh this looks like json
knotty steeple
it is
earnest phoenix
or I misunderstood your q
knotty steeple
that is json
earnest phoenix
parsed will be an object holding the res
slim heart
so parsed.server_count?
earnest phoenix
Is there a way to make awaitresponses work in DMs?
Like I have the command //activate which sends the user a message to which I want them to answer and then send to me in DMs if that makes sense. Discord.js
earnest phoenix
how can i push a string to an array in a json file?
grizzled isle
const MrFile = require('./JSONFILE.json')
// Lets say MrFile is "Savitar": {"ID": "SOMEBIGID", "prevNames": []}
MrFile.Savitar.prevName.push('Zothuro')
quasi hearth
can embeds send local images?
earnest phoenix
@grizzled isle i have a json that just looks like this { "knownNames": [ "name1", "name2" ] }
in my code i did this
let db = require('./stuff.json');
bot.on('playerJoined', player => {
if (!db.knownNames.includes(player.username)) {
bot.chat(
'Welcome to the server, ' +
player.username +
'! Type >rules to view the rules.'
);
} else {
return;
}
});
agh
the .push line isnt there
grizzled isle
Firstly, don't use a json file as a db. Its prune for corruption 100x worse than a regular DB.
Secondly, you'd do db.knownNames.push('NewName')
grizzled isle
After you push it, you'd need to use fs to rewrite the file
quasi hearth
^
grizzled isle
However, I strongly recommend a database. enmap and enmap-level are fantastic for begginers.
shy verge
@grizzled isle only fs has that corruption issue
earnest phoenix
eh no
thats rare
just use fs-nextra and make sure to use atomic methods
shrug
uncut slate
level is miles ahead of using json with atomic writes imo
but I wouldn't recommend either for a largescale bot
earnest phoenix
I hast been tagged

Anyone wanna give me some suggestions on this design? https://wolfiri.took-my-blobs-away-from.me/otc1dg.png
i think it looks dumb ;-;
earnest phoenix
hmm
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix whats nekobot api?
To nasty to talk about 😛
Hmm
It's an API i am working on for NekoBot
Its cool your bot has an api
ruby dust
who could have thought that making a unique single-featured bot will not give me much progress in servers and upvotes
wrong channel, but too lazy to go back
halcyon torrent
what is the limit of fields in embeds please? 😄 also character limit, if there is any
I found out the information in the doc, thanks anyways xD
ruby dust
25 field objects, and field description can have 1000 characters
frail kestrel
@grizzled isle why are u telling him not to use json but you used it in an example above
worn sparrow
pretty sure in some cases a .json can be better than a DB 🤔
verbal night
^ Hell i use a .yml file for some things because i store so little and i don't have to put any extra effort into a .json, mysql or sqlite db due to me already having everything required to use yaml 🤷
worn sparrow
you can store it
on anything
i can make a file named database.fuckbitchesgetmoney and store on it 🤷
quasi marsh
I have a DB for guild related things and a JSON file for configuration
halcyon torrent
I use txt files 
worn sparrow
I use atom so I just have .config and .db
