well, have fun
amber fractal
Its 2:19 am
earnest phoenix
what
earnest phoenix
ok
keen drift
don't you think people should at least know how to use the computer before attempting to code
lmao
amber fractal
So ill trust him
keen drift
how's that going for ya
keen drift
kek
earnest phoenix
i cant find it
keen drift
@amber fractal lmao, good night
earnest phoenix
WHATS THE COMMAND
amber fractal
cmd
keen drift
earnest phoenix
OK
keen drift
was w8 that long ago, jeez time flies
earnest phoenix
yes
amber fractal
Are you in command prompt atleast
earnest phoenix
yes
amber fractal
type node -v
earnest phoenix
keen drift
hue
earnest phoenix
it just closes
earnest phoenix
windows key and r opens run
earnest phoenix
it opens
amber fractal
Now type node -v
amber fractal
Yes
earnest phoenix

my api generates a buffer, how do i turn that into an image?
right now i get this lol
keen drift
Set the proper content type
wide ruin
so on vsc, ive got all the code sorted,
but it keeps turning off
how can i stop that?
trail dew
I didn't see this as an issue on the GitHub, but is it a known issue that the "Remind me to Vote for this bot" button does nothing?
Doesn't seem to be a support channel for the webpage itself; this seems to be the closest thing
sick cloud
@trail dew it works
trail dew
Myself and at least one other person on our server were discussing how we've never received a single reminder
trail dew
How is the notification supposed to be sent? Over discord, or via browser?
sick cloud
browser ofc
trail dew
Ohhh. Then yeah, it's a browser issue. It didn't say at all how the reminder was going to be sent; we were all assuming some bot would message us
trail dew
I mostly discord on ios mobile, so I guess the feature just won't work for me
sick cloud
safari?
trail dew
Yeah, I haven't had that pop up on Safari. I don't think mobile safari supports browser notifications.
sick cloud
iOS entirely sucks though so we expect it 
trail dew
Weird that a discord service doesn't notify via discord, but such is life. At least it's not a bug
sick cloud
they can't reliably use discord
not everyone is in this server, and not everyone has DMs open
trail dew
Well, thank you for clarifying how they're supposed to work
bitter sundial
yeah safari has no support for that
rocky dagger
I am using discord.js and why dont this work? let botembed = new Discord.RichEmbed(); .setDescription("Bot Information"); .setColor("#cc1212"); .addField("Bot Name", bot.user.username);
ping me
keen drift
Cause you terminated RichEmbed() with semi colon
bright spear
You don't need semicolons in js
If you're gonna use them then only put them where they should be
keen drift
It doesn't enforce it
rocky dagger
ok
earnest phoenix
How to make the bot was online in monitoring?
mossy vine
can anyone help with es6?
vsc reccommended me to import modules this way, but this happens
even if i ignore the {} it still happens with a different error message
as SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
languid dragon
wats ur node -v
mossy vine
v10.14.2
languid dragon
wouldn't it be { Client }
mossy vine
according to https://developer.mozilla.org/hu/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import it should be correct
no im importing Discord
and tried with {}
idk why i linked the hungarian site
languid dragon
so even when you do ```JS
import Discord from 'discord.js';
yup, SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
mossy vine
yes, i just sent the node -v output
smoky mica
languid dragon
it is not
mossy vine
docs say otherwise
languid dragon
what else is in your environment
mossy vine
wdym
mossy vine
defining the client, logging in, and the ready event logging "im online lmao"
languid dragon
send pic
mossy vine
mossy vine
yes the issue is that its not working D:
languid dragon
no 1 sec
okay
rename your file to index.mjs
and run it with node --experimental-modules index.mjs
:^)
as far as I know, import only natively works for code that's going to compile
mossy vine
but then everyone else using the code will need to do that, no?
languid dragon
so like, React for example, compiles into code that is then read by the browser
(not really "compiled" just converted into legible and organised code that a computer can understand but we can not)
yes
mossy vine
mk so i guess i will stay with require() lmao
languid dragon
yes
mossy vine
ew no
languid dragon
mossy vine
oh that syntax is hot
mossy vine
hm
thorn nexus
Hello everyone, I need your help. I have a .json file in which the level of participants is recorded.
"guild.id": {
"user": {
"user.id": {
"level": 8
}
}
}
}```
How can I get the list of participants with the highest level?are you using JSON as a database?
mossy vine
or forEach since its an object
thorn nexus
But it is possible in more detail how to do this. is there an example?
@languid dragon something is wrong?
languid dragon
is that a yes to my question?
mossy vine
you shouldnt use json files as a database
thorn nexus
just other formats fail to use ๐
covert turtleBOT
wow @mossy vine you leveled up XDDDD /s
amber fractal
mossy vine
what
languid dragon
although it's on topic, memes belong in #memes-and-media 
amber fractal
thorn nexus
I'm still too stupid. If you offer another way, I will try to do
amber fractal
I use json, want to switch to enmap or sqlite or something but its just so much revamping :(
earnest phoenix
lmao steven
thorn nexus
it seems to me that everything is not bad with json. I just do not know other options for storing information
amber fractal
I want to do it sooner rather than later because theres already a lot of data I'd need to transfer
thorn nexus
what's best for frequent writing and reading
mossy vine
@languid dragon ok coffeescript seems pretty fucking hot lol
languid dragon
knotty steeple
more people using coffeescript 
thorn nexus
thorn nexus
I'm too stupid to use anything else
knotty steeple
well be less stupid
mossy vine
the answer is still valid, loop through the members
thorn nexus
I understand, I do not understand how to do it
knotty steeple
are u using fs
thorn nexus
knotty steeple
what
mossy vine
well
load the file with require()
and with a for loop or forEach() you look thourgh all of the data
knotty steeple
pls use for
mossy vine
and if its higher than the previous highest encountered level, make it the new highest encountered level
knotty steeple
forEach is slow af
thorn nexus
complicated 
knotty steeple
what is
tulip ledge
Anyone knows how I make a setInterval promise I used to know but forgot
knotty steeple
if loops are complicated you have to learn more js
knotty steeple
go away
waxen quest
Guys ,how do I get a user's creation date? I've looked at the docs and all that but it still doesn't seem to be working. (nodejs)
languid dragon
Discord.JS?
waxen quest
yes
fierce owl
or you can change message.author to anyone
waxen quest
fierce owl
boi message.user is not a property
languid dragon
waxen quest
oh right thanks
languid dragon
earnest phoenix
sh
languid dragon
stop spoonfeeding
fierce owl
How do you make a leveing system, I need help plz
earnest phoenix
Theres no such thing
topaz fjord
Wut
fierce owl
ranking system
earnest phoenix
what is a mee6
languid dragon
@earnest phoenix please stop being a nuisance
fierce owl
...
topaz fjord
You'll need to calculate an amount of xp to give a user per message and add it to their total xp count. If that xp reaches a certain number add 1 to their level
ez
fierce owl
yeah but how, i am noob
topaz fjord
I'm not gonna give you code
fierce owl
i hjave
languid dragon
view these PDF files for best practices and common sense with javascript coding
waxen quest
Thanks, got it to work 
mossy vine
okay so in js there are these things that look like
client.on('something', callback)
client is a class right? and what is .on() and how would implementing one go?
sorry if this is spoonfeeding, if anyone can direct me to some resources i would be thankful
mossy vine
yes and i meant that Client is an class
right?
and lowercase client is the thing
the whatsitcalled
languid dragon
once you create a new one and make it login, you get all the properties that are available here https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Client
it's a created instance of Client
mossy vine
yes thats what i meant
languid dragon
yes
mossy vine
then what is .on() and how would it be implemented?
class documentations dont tell aynthing
languid dragon
.on is an event handler
essentially its like this
client.on("message", function () {
// because a callback is a function
});
// translate to
on a "message" event from client, do function
does that make sense?
languid dragon
const EventEmitter = require('events');
class MyEmitter extends EventEmitter {}
const myEmitter = new MyEmitter();
myEmitter.on('event', () => {
console.log('an event occurred!');
});
myEmitter.emit('event');
ok so i need to require the events module/package/idontevencare to make it work and then i just .on() and .emit()?
languid dragon
its a part of node.js so you don't need to install it
mossy vine
and for MyEmitter class i can add more things right?
languid dragon
yes
mossy vine
so it behaves like a normal class with those features?
languid dragon
an example usage of this would be
const EventEmitter = require('events');
class Game extends EventEmitter {
constructor() {
// do stuff
this.ready();
}
ready() {
this.emit("ready");
}
start() {
// do more stuff
}
}
const game = new Game();
game.on("ready", () => {
console.log("the game is ready!");
game.start();
});
its untested so i dont know if it will actually work
mossy vine
alright thank you for helping
serene sun
hey everyone, would there be a way to create a command that responds with how many people are in a certain call?
amber fractal
What lib?
mossy vine
yes, read the docs
slim heart
const args = message.content.slice((`<@${client.user.id}> `).length).trim().split(/ +/g);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();```
is there something wrong with this? because every now and then when i say a normal sentence it'll response as if i said the <@clientid>anyone?
mossy vine
can you send your full message event?
slim heart
its a one file bot so idk
slim heart
yes thats what im saying
mossy vine
yes, only send the part in the message event
slim heart
all 800 lines?
mossy vine
okay then only the first few lines of it lmao
slim heart
xD
client.on('message', async (message) => {
if(message.guild && !message.guild.me.hasPermission("SEND_MESSAGES")) return;
if(message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice((`<@${client.user.id}> `).length).trim().split(/ +/g);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
yeah, you need to check if the message starts with your bots prefix
mossy vine
its ok lol

Would any of you recommend Heroku?
I know about the list in the pins
But I feel Heroku is the best option for me to go with rn. ANyone have any input?
inner jewel
heroku/glitch aren't suited for discord bots
inner jewel
both kill your process after a time of inactivity
celest arch
Im just looking for a cheap reliable host
inner jewel
earnest phoenix
glitch is free
inner jewel
this doesn't look like supporting discord bots
which require a constant ws connection to discord
celest arch
Im hosting off of my PC right now
earnest phoenix
have your bot like send stuff to the console every 4 minutes or something
keep it live
earnest phoenix
ew
inner jewel
but that's just a loophole
celest arch
So what host would you guys recommend from the pinned list
I was thinking maybe Digital OCean
earnest phoenix
I mean
I know a host that has really cheap hosting
compared to those
if you want info dm me. I use their services
zealous veldt
I recommend GalaxyGate over digital ocean
cheaper
and they have a support server on discord which they're very active in
also very transparent, and you get really low ping to the discord api
keen drift
lately I have been deciding to whether or not to go with digitalocean for their kubernetes

Weren't able to host it yourself?

The bot doesnโt have permission to kick
Be sure to check at the beginning
By doing something like
if(!message.guild.me.hasPermission(โpermโ)) return
But what i think is happening as well is the bot canโt kick that user
Because itโs role still has to be higher

why
blazing star
what is your code
slim heart
So what you should do is check the .kickable property of the member object and it gives a Boolean of whether the bot can kick the user or not so use that property to decide whether to continue and also whether to say the bot canโt kick the user @rocky dagger
Find the missing )
blazing star
what line

either you need to add or remove a )

nice token leak
blazing star
lmfao

uh fuck

Yea

u should remove that switch

Just regenerate it quickly

So what you should do is check the .kickable property of the member object and it gives a Boolean of whether the bot can kick the user or not so use that property to decide whether to continue and also whether to say the bot canโt kick the user @rocky dagger. by copy pasting this in my test server i got this message That person can't be kicked idk why
pls no ban
slim heart
Hh
queen violet
stop getting annoyed at people and reset the token quickly @earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
idk sorry
slim heart
Just before u kick check if .kickable is true
blazing star
so instead of client.login("token") it would be client.login(config.token)
slim heart
No what
Weโre not gonna look through the whole thing to find it
Put it in a code editor and let it debug it for you and find the missing parenthesis
blazing star
what are you using to code

blazing star
if itโs notepad then iโll be sad
earnest phoenix
Thonny is best for python
blazing star
atom is a meme

vs code is best

I didnโt even know that existed as I rely on vscode to find syntax errors for me 
slim heart
Yeah I just said that cuz Iโm assuming it exists I donโt even know if thereโs any good one
earnest phoenix
NTMw
Oof I can't type
There is nothing missing
And this time without tokens xD
Did you reset it yet
reset?
slim heart
Yes
slim heart
Go to the dev panel and hit regenerate
blazing star
and please use a config
earnest phoenix
I did
slim heart
Ok
rocky dagger
the worst thing is is that i copy from youtube and my code doesn't work

na

Hello, i declared my variable in top of my code and when i want reuse this variable, he is not defined, i don't know why, Someone know why my variable is not defined ? Here is my code:
if (message.content.startsWith(config.prefix + "championship"))
{
var seconds = 0:
//mon code
if (splitMessage[4] === "d")
{
seconds = 16 * 15;
}
}
And when i try this:
if (message.content.startsWith(config.prefix + "championship"))
{
let seconds = 0:
//mon code
if (splitMessage[4] === "d")
{
seconds = 16 * 15;
message.channel.send(seconds)
}
}
It is work but the other not:
if (message.content.startsWith(config.prefix + "championship"))
{
let seconds = 0:
//mon code
if (splitMessage[4] === "d")
{
seconds = 16 * 15;
}
message.channel.send(seconds)
}
let seconds = 0:
Why is it : it needs to be ;
Idk if thatโs the problem
But what you should also do is just
var seconds;
You donโt have to define it as something
But (if itโs giving no error) the only explanation i have is that somethings wrong with splitMessage meaning itโs always false etc.
languid dragon
i think that's personal preference and really doesn't matter
defining it as something and using let is generally better practice
amber fractal
Using semi colons isnt even required
slim heart
I wasnโt really talking about var/let but yea
Ik its not but he still put : but idk
languid dragon
im talking about defining it as something is better practice since you can't send undefined using the send method
slim heart
Idk if u can use : instead of ; (or nothing)
languid dragon
you can't
amber fractal
Var allows it in all scopes of the function let allows it only in that scope iirc
languid dragon
if you don't know why are you explaining 
slim heart
Well I said that itโs wrong but I just wanted to make sure
And heโs just gonna not respond

rocky dagger
if i type hello it writs "Can't find user!" back
zealous veldt
yeah
if there isn't a mention or an id it does that
you should only run inside the command its needed for
quartz kindle
nvm
zealous veldt
why are you checking to see if the command is ban or ban?
not even
checking if cmd = a string || a string is true
lol
quartz kindle
its if(1 equals 1 || 2 equals 2)
not if(1 equals 1 || 2)
rocky dagger
yyes
https://gist.github.com/Madmadz16/dd83fbb33f767e634304d11decbff082 this is the whole code if you want
if you spott an error please ping me
zealous veldt
@rocky dagger for one
your if statements are wrong
@bitter sundial pls ban
should be js if(cmd === (`${prefix}command`||`${prefix}Command`)) {...}
@real quiver #memes-and-media
@modern sable Cleanup on isle #development
rocky dagger
not if(cmd === ...)
modern sable
english only here pls, #memes-and-media for other languages
rocky dagger
or dm
zealous veldt
yeah, edited
rocky dagger
thats maby the best
zealous veldt
?
rocky dagger
isn't it if(cmd === ...)
zealous veldt
javascript has an order of operations
knotty steeple
i think you need to learn about javascript operations
rocky dagger
prob
zealous veldt
what you're doing with this js if (cmd === `${prefix}Report` || `${prefix}report`) {
is checking if cmd is ${prefix}report or if ${prefix}Report is true
by surrounding the strings with parens you'll make it check if it's either one of the strings instead of checking for one of them or if the other is true
inner jewel
adding () around the strings won't do what they want
zealous veldt
around both
keen drift
natan is invisible 
inner jewel
they want a == b || a == c, not a == (b || c)
zealous veldt
the latter will still work
rocky dagger
so then it'scss if (cmd === ${prefix}Report || ${prefix}report) {
inner jewel
no
zealous veldt
no
keen drift
inner jewel
add ` around the strings
zealous veldt
this is not a real solution either
what you should be doing
is converting your command to lowercase
change this js let cmd = messageArray[0];
to this
let cmd = messageArray[0].toLowerCase()```then you only have to check for the lower case version
inner jewel
if(cmd === ("<prefix>command"||"<prefix>Command")) {...} won't handle the case of cmd = "<prefix>Command"
rocky dagger
i have herd of that function
knotty steeple
then use it
zealous veldt
then your if's can just be js if(cmd == `${prefix}command`) {...}
knotty steeple
also why do you have commands in 1 file
rocky dagger
yea I shold do that
inner jewel
or at least use a switch instead of if-else chains
knotty steeple
yes this
rocky dagger
I am doing that
inner jewel
a switch is O(1) vs O(n) for if-else chains
knotty steeple
do you not know switch exists
bitter sundial
when you were using switch and people were like "thats bad practice" but all the time it was more performant and I didnt even know gg
inner jewel
a switch and an object/map lookup are both O(1) for any proper map implementation
knotty steeple
switch(a) {
case "wew":
return "hi"
break;
case "hi":
return "no bye"
break;
}```hecc, might need to look at the assembly when I have time for how this magic works
inner jewel
although O(1) doesn't necessarily mean it's faster, just that execution time is constant regardless of size
string switches usually generate an integer from the string then use an integer switch
inside the integer switch it does if-else for string equality
because there may be collisions
it's pretty much an inlined hashtable
keen drift
now i'm really curious what the asm behind this is
rocky dagger
lol
inner jewel
probably a jump table
rocky dagger

i just copy and paste until it works
amber fractal
My computer science class didnt introduce tables, objects and arrays until the end
It was a shit class
knotty steeple
well ur class is shit
amber fractal
yes i know
zealous veldt
Same fishy
rocky dagger
But how the crap a mi supposed to use to.lowerCase() in this?cs if(cmd === `${prefix}command`) {...}
amber fractal
The ctrl and c and v keys will be the first to die on my keyboard
celest bloom
a question: what is the "best" or the "standard" permission to look for, when a user wants to change the servers prefix. manage server?
zealous veldt
put .toLowerCase() at the end of the declaration
celest bloom
are what would you guys use
zealous veldt
I check for MANAGE_SERVER
zealous veldt
I check for manage_server, or my ID lol
rocky dagger
let messageArray = message.content.split(" ");
let cmd = messageArray[0];
let args = messageArray.slice(1);```i can already tell thats from some tutorial 
zealous veldt
add .toLowerCase after messageArray[0] @rocky dagger
celest bloom
yeah manage server makes sense๐
zealous veldt
for the cmd declaration
amber fractal
Using json for database is the future
rocky dagger
let prefix = botconfig.prefix;let messageArray = message.content.split(" ");
let cmd = messageArray[0] .toLowerCase();
let args = messageArray.slice(1);
rocky dagger
woops
zealous veldt
I use rethink
rocky dagger
I watch a tut
amber fractal
rocky dagger
It's my first bot
amber fractal
Docs are better for learning
knotty steeple
and courses
amber fractal
^
keen drift
and copy and paste
knotty steeple
if u want to make a bot, learn js or another programming language
zealous veldt
yes
zealous veldt
fishy and i learn the same way lol
knotty steeple
soon u will die like all goldfish
zealous veldt
theft and googling the best way to learn
celest bloom
yes docs are muuch better. i also started with some basic tutorials but after looking in some docs...never gonna watch a tut again xD
knotty steeple
i learned when i was 9
dumbass me at 9 still knew how to make programs work
most of the time
knotty steeple
pls
i learned exactly nothing since then
yes
except making discord bots will be my fulltime job
keen drift
oof sad job
keen drift
keen drift
wew
rocky dagger
I got toLowerCase(); to work thx
amber fractal
Making discord bots fulltime on fiverr
mental solstice
fulltime? ive gotten a couple gigs, but not enough to quit my job
rocky dagger
where do you put PERMISSIONS INTEGER into this link https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=487618682986430484&scope=bot
rocky dagger
at the end?
keen drift
yeah

earnest phoenix
can someone help me understand .slice in js
languid dragon
languid dragon
what dont you get?
mossy vine
Yes
earnest phoenix
so , is also considered string
mossy vine
res will be string, yes
earnest phoenix
oh its one variable
earnest phoenix
, cofused me lol
languid dragon
"Apple, Banana, Kiwi".slice(4, 7);
0123|--|
|56|
4 7
Result: "e, "
4 = the point at which it should *start* slicing
7 = the point in which it should *stop* slicing
]]ev "Apple, Banana, Kiwi".slice(4, 7);
covert turtleBOT
e,
tnx โค
languid dragon
works the same with arrays, same deal
just imagine the string is split up into an array and every entry is a single char
so "A" would be the beginning of the array starting at 0
]]ev ["Apple", "Banana", "Kiwi"].slice(0,1);
covert turtleBOT
[ 'Apple' ]
yeah i get it now, im pretty new to js
waxen blaze
Hi, how can I add the whole page into long description? I tried this: <iframe src="http://example.com/"></iframe> but this doesn't work 
gritty bolt
Does anyone know any reason for my bot's forever instance to be randomly shutting off?
I don't get any errors it literally just shuts down
mossy vine
@gritty bolt where are you hosting?
gritty bolt
AWS Ubuntu t2.micro Linux
quartz kindle
is the instance itself shutting off or just the bot program?
mossy vine
Welp i cant help you then
gritty bolt
It doesn't show any signs of shutting down
It's being monitored 24/7
And it hasn't shut down once according to the logs
quartz kindle
you can still ssh into it?
does it auto restart or do you need to do something to get it online again?
gritty bolt
I need to do forever start again
quartz kindle
in aws? or in linux?
quartz kindle
and ssh stops working when it shuts down?
gritty bolt
No it still works
waxen blaze
somebody plz?
inner jewel
check the browser console for errors
gritty bolt
Ok
mental solstice
@waxen blaze it has to be https
earnest phoenix
is there a limit on how many messages can be deleted at once? as bot
zealous veldt
100 iirc
inner jewel
100 per request
inner jewel
and message deletion ratelimits get high very quickly
no
if you do 1000 requests then probably
earnest phoenix
im worried what if users abuse bot or some command
inner jewel
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
you could ratelimit the command or just have the bot leave the spam guild
they're not as common as you'd think
earnest phoenix
theres cooldown thing, ill try it
bless stackoverflow
is 10 second cooldown too much ? 
mental solstice
discord should have a list of rate limits.. it will be way less than 10 seconds, but 10 seconds is probably fine
valid frigate
i guess you could check if x users on x guild use x commands within a span of x seconds
or make it into a formula, and have it leave when it is above a certain threshold
inner jewel
there are some known ones, and most don't really change (eg 5/5s for sending)
but deleting is an exception
mental solstice
there use to be a list of rate limits
inner jewel
there was never an official list
and even the ones that exist shouldn't be used to ratelimit discord api calls
as ratelimits are dynamic and can change at any moment without prior notice
you can use those to get an idea on what the ratelimit was the last time they were updated
amber fractal
There was a list according to a "staff software engineer @discordapp" on github
keen drift
I had some server owners came complaining to me that their reactions disappeared
Turns out it got rate limited
amber fractal
Nice

Large guild problems
amber fractal

earnest phoenix
Anyone know anything about json files?
earnest phoenix
Lol ok so i have a few json files that keep deleting while using commamds. Why would this happen?
amber fractal
Are you reading/writing them with these commands?
earnest phoenix
No
sick cloud
then its not your bot
earnest phoenix
Hmmm ok.. I wonder what it is
earnest phoenix
Specific
amber fractal
Do they reset to {} or fully delete the file
earnest phoenix
It deletes everything out of the file including the brackets
earnest phoenix
Which part of the code? I'd rather not send it here though
mental solstice
are you using json files as data storage?
mental solstice
more often than not, you will end up corrupting your files by trying to read/write while the file is open
earnest phoenix
Coins, XP,Autoroles and Server Prefixes
mental solstice
yeah, thats just a bad idea, using a database will be your best bet
amber fractal
I use json for all those things, going to move to a database asap I just need to learn one and transfer data
I havent had it corrupt yet
zealous veldt
thats a ticking timebomb
earnest phoenix
I know a little about mysql just not enough to do that
mental solstice
if you do it correctly steven, its possible
zealous veldt
emphasis on yet
mental solstice
Mike, what language?
earnest phoenix
Js
amber fractal
Is there any db thats as simple as json cuz json is so easy to get stuff out of.
inner jewel
json is not a db
mental solstice
i use mongodb
amber fractal
I know
mental solstice
not with JS though, im sure there is a library
keen drift
Mongo is bson
earnest phoenix
I use MySQL for most of my data
mental solstice
yeah, its pretty easy to implement tho
amber fractal
Transferring my current data will be the hardest part
earnest phoenix
MySQL is my recommendation.
mental solstice
you should be able to automate it all
earnest phoenix
Mongo over charged me once
earnest phoenix
They charged me $453 one month out of no where
zealous veldt
rethink is nice
amber fractal
Is it easy @zealous veldt
zealous veldt
yeah
well
set up can be a pain in the ass
but I can help y ou
but using it is easy
inner jewel
rethink can be a bitch
earnest phoenix
You can transfer json file to MySQL if you absolutely needed
inner jewel
i've had it do stupid shit more than enough times to want to rm -rf it asap
earnest phoenix
Lol
amber fractal
Alright Ill install mongodb and try that
zealous veldt
make sure to properly secure it
amber fractal
No idea what that means
topaz fjord
mongodb doesn't come with security pre installed i believe
inner jewel
configure iptables to drop outside traffic to the mongodb port
topaz fjord
there's this https://www.infoworld.com/article/3164504/security/the-essential-guide-to-mongodb-security.html
amber fractal
to access my db will I need to MongoClient.connect in every seperate file or once connected it will just stay connected?
zealous veldt
use mongoose
fierce owl
Hey can I have some help
client.on('message', message => {
if (!message.guild) return;
if (message.content === prefix + 'test')
channel.send('Testy mc test') //I know that there needs to be a message before channel but I did that so I can have an error to display
}).catch(err => console.log(err) message.channel.send('**Error** ' + err + ' This has been sent to our developers') client.users.get("335227605777121281").send("There has been an error " + err))
It gives an error stating .catch(...) is not a function
Any help (d.js)
earnest phoenix
my guess is that you need to await it
fierce owl
can you explain plz
inner jewel
client.on('message', message => {
if (!message.guild) return;
if (message.content === prefix + 'test')
channel.send('Testy mc test') //I know that there needs to be a message before channel but I did that so I can have an error to display
})```you're doing client.on(...).catch
fierce owl
yeah
fierce owl
ok
amber fractal
Ok this database stuff is actually confusing the hell out of me
ruby dust
how would I change the timestamp of a pre-built embed in discord.py?
mental solstice
what did you go with Steven
amber fractal
I swithced to rethinkdb
late hill
Or just use a platform that hosts the db for u and takes care of security
For mongo you can use Atlas or mlab
Mlab has a sandbox plan
Which is free
Yet still reliable
If you're using js and want to use mongo, as moose said, mongoose is helpful
If you read their docs you should be able to figure it out.
amber fractal
This error is literally my life rn
I have no idea what to do about that error, same thing happened with the dblapi I always got connection refused
Idk how it started working.
If you have any ideas of how i could fix this, please dm me or @me here thx
mental solstice
do you have the server running?
inner jewel
nothing is running on that port
amber fractal
Its the port the db connects to
or tries
But it says connection refused when it tries to connect
inner jewel
because there's nothing running
