okie
sick cloud
my bot makes requests to an internal api but the urls are exposed in web tools, whats the best way for me to authorize these requests?
since any headers etc sent will be seen, its hard to make it secure
sick cloud
this is the dashboard making a request to change data through an api
its not user based
and even then, the user can probably then access hidden endpoints
inner jewel
proxy it through your backend
sick cloud
idk
basically the api is built with the bot
and hosts its own /api/...
and then the web dashboard uses ie. /api/guilds/:id/prefix and POSTs with a new prefix
what i thought tho is how do i make sure it can only be used by my dashboard
inner jewel
you can't
inner jewel
just make a token per user and validate it on each request
sick cloud
even some kind of origin check maybe natan?
inner jewel
you can hand craft http requests
sick cloud
dang
inner jewel
checking origin/whatever is 100% useless
not having authorization checks is the same as opening everything on those endpoints to everyone
just store for each user on eg localstorage a jwt with eg userid
sick cloud
hm, okay
keen drift
You should auth each user anyway
To make sure they can only retrieve info about guilds they have access to
inner jewel
since jwts are signed you can know it's your own thing

Is there a specific way of getting args in eris?
sick cloud
no?
"args" is just the message content
works the same way in any lib
msg content, split by prefix/command, shift, join
sick cloud
how do i prevent a html form from being submitted
pastel tiger
What do you want to do with the form @sick cloud ?
Because if you dont want to submit it just dont make a button that submits it
harsh nova
You can still press the enter button and the form will submit

desert hearth
Node:the term node is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function...
harsh nova
And you have actually installed node
harsh nova
It’s the right folder
desert hearth
?huh?
harsh nova
From your image is saw that it is the right directory
desert hearth
Ok, but why does this do this?
harsh nova
Because node is not a function, it says that when node isn’t installed
But you say it is
desert hearth
But not on vsc
harsh nova
Maybe you need a node extension for vsc
desert hearth
?
desert hearth
I installed vsc and node, same things as i had on the other pc
restive bough
Where did you install node
desert hearth
It does this on the other pc

In Program files
Huh?
I am so angry at this pc
I think i am just gonna delete the bot

Never quit 😢

would you ask your friend to host your bot 24/7 for free? no, and that's the reason why companies charge for it too
restive bough
Well keeping your pc open 24/7 isn't free neither

quartz kindle
@desert hearth did you restart your pc after installing node?
desert hearth
No...
desert hearth
But i'll try the glitch.com
restive bough
Are you using windows?
quartz kindle
sometimes you need to restart it so the environment variables are updated properly
restive bough
Cuz linux doesn't need restarting 😎
mossy vine
Do not use glitchs builtin editor

How do i extract the zip file in glitch?
What if i just use github?

bright spear
But make sure you don't upload your token to GitHub
earnest phoenix

restive bough
Yeet
desert hearth
I know, it connects to the bot in discordapp.com/developers and opens the bot by the script
restive bough
Oof
earnest phoenix
😁 @desert hearth don't delete all you have to do is go to discord.js and other webites and lerarn how to code then you will do fine
bright spear
Really
desert hearth
But where can i host the bot free
knotty steeple
u sure about that
desert hearth
I know some coding
knotty steeple

bright spear
Glitch is ridiculously easy to use
desert hearth
But i can't send folders in it
bright spear

bright spear
Why did you upload a zip file
bright spear
Of course you can't extract a zip file in Glitch
desert hearth
Oh, i am a idiot
knotty steeple
you upload each file individually
bright spear
Or just import from gh
desert hearth
But, i could keep my pc open 24/7, but how do i minimize the ram and cpu usage of vsc?
earnest phoenix
XD
harsh nova
It’s using a node script
quartz kindle
you dont run bots in vsc lol
harsh nova
Node scripts are ram heavy
restive bough
Not
quartz kindle
you run it directly with node from cmd
desert hearth
Oof
quartz kindle
you dont need vsc open
earnest phoenix
You run on ethier paid vps or glitch,herouk etc
desert hearth
I used vsc always
earnest phoenix
I use

vsc is just an editor who happens to run things for you as an easy way to test

props.help or props itself is undefined

Because it can't read the name of props.help
It litterally says in the error
Meaning props.help is undefined

'NAME'
tulip ledge
??
rocky dagger
anyways how wold you fix it?
marble needle
you fix undefined errors by defining what's undefined 🤔
marble needle
well then check line 21 in index js and the surrounding code and figure out why it suddenly errors out. Probably has to do with what you did between yesterday and today
rocky dagger
haven't done a S***
marble needle
would you mind sending the code snippet line 21 is in
rocky dagger
bot.commands.set(props.help.name, props);
jsfile.forEach((f, i) =>{
let props = require(`./commands/${f}`);
console.log(`${f} loaded!`);
bot.commands.set(props.help.name, props);
});```and now using a programmer's logical skills you could figure out that if it loaded 10 files successfully and then decided to error out your issue may be laying within a certain file it's trying to load
rocky dagger
that's a tempmute file
marble needle
check your console output for files it didn't load and look into them, probably forgot to define properties or whatnot in there causing props.help to be undefined when it tries to load said file
marble needle
remove the file you think is causing the issue or change it's ending to something that isn't .js (so your command handler doesn't try to load it) and run your code again
if it doesnt error the file you removed has an error in it
it it still errors you either got the wrong file or you did something wrong in multiple ones

I'm getting this, but I have a catch and the roles do exist and they do also get added, any reason why this would happen?
sick cloud
could be a role somewhere else
amber fractal
It has an array of roles
and happens after the 5 second time out
so I highly doubt it
And the catch does log the error
Well not the error, just what I have it set to log
It wouldnt confuse me as much if it actually didnt work, but it does
let toadd = bot.mutes.get(user.id, "roles")
let muted = message.guild.roles.find(r => r.name == "Muted")
console.log(toadd)
for(var j = 0; j < toadd.length; j++){
user.addRole(message.guild.roles.get(toadd[j])).catch(console.log("Error"))
}
user.removeRole(muted.id).catch(console.log("Error"))
bot.mutes.delete(user.id)
}, time)```Its weird because it errors for every role
Wait
I think I know the issue
Nope, now it didnt work at all
But it's erroring for every role
even the mute role
so it logs "Error" 3 times (2 roles to add and mute) before it give me the DiscordAPIError

@last lava vpses arent free, if you want to host for free you'll have to use glitch/heroku or host it yourself like with a raspberry pi
quartz kindle
rpi is only "free" if you're not the one paying your bills
your parents/guardians will be paying it for you without their knowledge basically
amber fractal
but a vps's internet is most likely better than yours
unless you got that good fibre

Is there a plan to add an Apex tag for bots?
bright spear
dunno what that is
you can make an issue on the github
but i assume most site users wont understand/use it
upbeat maple
Didn't know if it was worthy of an issue. It's a new battle royale game
upbeat maple
It's currently the most viewed game on twitch
alrighty
Thanks! I'll push it as an issue then

var allImages = document.getElementsByTagName("img");
console.log(allImages)
allImages.forEach(i => {
if (!i.id) {
var stat = i;
stat.setAttribute("data-toggle", "tooltip");
stat.setAttribute("data-placement", "right");
stat.setAttribute("title", "Test");

anyone able to help hereTry to convert the HTMCollection to a slice
var imageList = Array.prototype.slice.call(allImages);
imageList.forEach(i => {
...
}
alright
@upbeat maple that stopped the errors but the code itself didnt work :(
the image tags stayed like <img src="/wiki/rooms/restroom.png" alt="Restroom"> without the mew attributes added
upbeat maple
Ah... I see. I don't have a testbench set up but can you try using imageList as a for loop instead
and then index into each item of allImages
So, you would be doing allImages[x].setAttribute(...)
sick cloud
hm, okay
i've never used for loops much, how would i do that?
also, i need to make sure the images dont have an id for specific purposes
sick cloud
alright
sick cloud
okay, then i just use imageList[x].setAttribute("data-toggle", "tooltip"); and such inside?
hm, that didnt seem to work either
seems that setAttribute isn't working anyways, it is making it to the loop
upbeat maple
Use the "x" index for allImages
sick cloud
ah
cold niche
Is there any alternative for big bots instead of webhooks to check who voted yet?
bright spear
@cold niche you can just the check endpoint to check if a specific user has voted, or you can use the endpoint to get the last 1k votes if it works, but the webhooks are recommended

literally tells you, can't find the module
wrong filepath or your file doesnt even exist

I'il check it out.
Thx
Hey @marble needle
Error: Cannot find module './modules/functions.js'
What's the problem?
marble needle
dusky steeple
do ../modules/functions.js
marble needle
how can you be that certain if you have no idea about his folder structure
clever wave
I'm using glitch and now I'm going to do npm install 'module'?
dusky steeple
im not but what's wrong with trying it
I have had the same error and that was the pronlem
problem
marble needle
you use ./ to access the folder the file you're working on is located in. ../ to access the folder thats one level up from the current one
./modules/ implies that in your current working folder there is another folder called modules
if that isn't the case your filepath is wrong and it'll error because it can't find the file you specified at the location you provided
clever wave
I think I've figured it out , but still got a problem?
@marble needle Do you know how to use glitch?
marble needle
never used free hosting, never will

index.py:30: UserWarning: Creating a client session outside of coroutine is a very dangerous idea

I am looking for someone to beta test a bot before a big update. Would offer the same for one of your bots ofc 😃
modern sable
rule 4 
amber fractal
How do you ask for someone to test something with that rule
modern sable
- friends
- alt accounts
quartz kindle
your beta testers should be people who are already users of your bot, or at least that already know it and are interested in its features
people who know nothing about the bot or how its supposed to work wont be able to accurately test and debug it for you
empty steppe
fair point tim 😃
i don't know anyone who is using it tho and messaging random people using it is a bit weird?
earnest phoenix
Then second choice that marco said alt accounts
empty steppe
can you be logged in with multiple accounts?
Also I am mostly looking for feedback on user experience, thats hard to generate with alts 😃
earnest phoenix
Means you have to smh find a friend that uses it?
empty steppe
yeah, i though asking here is an option if maybe someone else is interested in feedback for their bot too. But i can understand if this falls under rule4
marble needle
huh, almost like you could finish up a build make it public and use your support server to collect feedback
amber fractal
Do people finish up games before a public release without testers? Usually not. He did what a dev should do and get testers. Just not the right place
marble needle
alpha/beta phases exist, for public testing
split hazel
How fast is sqlite 
empty steppe
fast 😄
empty steppe
what for?
split hazel
Yeah storing custom prefixes
empty steppe
i use mongo for that, but its very comparable in speed to sqlite
split hazel
I use mongo for my prefix atm too
But it's sacrificing the bots speed for me
I tested the speed and it takes around 30ms to read/write keys
late hill
30ms isn't even bad what
If you want it to be very fast I guess you could cache them if you have enough memory for that
amber fractal
Mongo or sqlite tho
hushed berry
@split hazel most of that latency probably isnt even caused by mongo 🤔
how are you even measuring the latency
split hazel
how long it takes to execute the thing
and yeah i wont cache because i'm running low on mem
scarlet bane
@trim saddle warnings only stop the weak
trim saddle
hushed berry
are you actually concerned about storing like 100 strings? @split hazel
the amount of space that takes up is ridiculously small
empty steppe
yeah if speed is the worry just use a dict and store it in the bot variable
read once at the start and do update functions
cloud peak
How can i add a reaction to a message? The reaction is uploaded on the server. Using Java and JDA
inner jewel
Message#addReaction
zinc pawn
i uh did something wrong... https://paste.tscforum.com/klagprjteo.js
cloud peak
ik
inner jewel
or MessageChannel#addReactionById
cloud peak
But it doesnt work with custom reactions
late hill
cmdFound is a boolean?
cloud peak
String emote = args[1]; message.addReaction(emote).queue(); This is my current code
What shall i change?
@inner jewel
cloud peak
how can i get the id of an emote
inner jewel
Emote#getId()
earnest phoenix
hello!
quartz kindle
@split hazel if you need maximum performance, go with redis
quartz kindle
well, at his scale mongo should not be taking 30ms for a single operation
amber fractal
Whats a good db tho?
quartz kindle
all are good, depends on your needs
for small applications sqlite does a great job
amber fractal
An actual db tho
inner jewel
sqlite is a db
quartz kindle
for bigger applications that require a database server, there is mysql, postgre, mongo, and many others
marble needle
json is a db, change my mind 
inner jewel
for sql i'd use pg
hushed berry
rethink
quartz kindle
sqlite can handle sharding
amber fractal
Is it difficult?
hushed berry
sqlite is embedded ye?
hushed berry
would cause issues if you ever need to split your bot across multiple processes
i think
(?)
quartz kindle
sqlite can handle multiple processes
amber fractal
Whats the best way to test before actually doing it? Making a 2nd app?
hushed berry
across multiple machines, even
quartz kindle
not for multiple machines
if you need multiple machines, you need a server
sqlite is not a server
mysql/mongo/postgre are servers
amber fractal
Atleast switching dbs isnt that hard
quartz kindle
its not hard if you have no data
if you have lots of data, it will need to be exported/imported at least
amber fractal
I have data, but i can loop over all of it and put it into a new db
quartz kindle
yeah
inner jewel
and that only works well for small datasets
when you have a lot of data it's hard to change
quartz kindle
a lot of data meaning tens/hundreds of gb
amber fractal
I think mines still small enough to transfer fine
Less than a gb across it I believe
quartz kindle
my bot's database is like 2mb in size
amber fractal
Yeah, I think mine is like 15mb. But I dont store data as efficiently as possible
A mistake I made early on
But Id have to remake a bunch of my code to change it.
quartz kindle
yeah but it should be fine
marble needle
if you know you made a mistake and are switching dbs anyway why not fix that then
quartz kindle
and you should be fine with sqlite as well
amber fractal
Im not switching atm
marble needle
ah
split hazel
@quartz kindle sqlite is good, i just tried it
1ms read and around 12ms write is good
quartz kindle
👍
cloud peak
http://prntscr.com/mjosc1 How can i do such a setup?
I mean that the bot waits for the next message etc
formal agate
I need to confirm what this error is saying E:\<REDACTED PATH>\node_modules\integer\build\integer.vcxproj(20,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "E:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk From what I understand this has something to do with the path being broken correct?
young jungle
does anyone know how to add a delete_after argument to the default help command?
quartz kindle
what do you mean
empty steppe
what exactly do you need?
young jungle
I want the default help message to delete itself after 30 seconds
quartz kindle
which language and library?
young jungle
discord.py 1.0.0 Python 3.6
quartz kindle
not sure about python, but you can probably sleep for 30 seconds and then execute a delete command on the received message object
earnest phoenix
sleeping in non async context is bad
young jungle
how do you put it into async?
quartz kindle
i found this in the rewrite docs, so you're right
coroutine send(content=None, *, tts=False, embed=None, file=None, files=None, delete_after=None, nonce=None)```you should be able to add it as an argument in the send command
young jungle
there isn't a send command for it since it's built in though
young jungle
I don't send the help command, it's the default
quartz kindle
what do you mean?
young jungle
The rewrite library includes a help command by default
it's in discord.py, so it can't be directly edited
young jungle
thanks
I've gotta go, but if you find anything useful, would you mind sending it to me via DM?
thanks for the help
empty steppe
You can do it with wait_for_reaction for example
res = await self.bot.wait_for_reaction(emoji=self.pages, message=msg, timeout=180, check=check)
# redirect on reaction
if res is None:
await self.bot.delete_message(msg)
return None
else:
if str(res.reaction.message.channel.type) != 'private':
await self.bot.remove_reaction(res.reaction.message, res.reaction.emoji, res.user)
return res
the first part, if res is None triggers when the timeout expires
you could easily work in an X emoji to delete and then auto delete on timeout
quartz kindle
@young jungle i cant find anything about it in the rewrite docs. there is a bot.remove_command("help") thing, but i think its for async
why do libs ship with built in commands smh
young jungle
thanks guys
knotty steeple
you use it to remove the default help command
slender thistle
Not only
knotty steeple
oh no
quartz kindle
ye but he wanted to edit the built-in help command
i didnt find anything about that in the docs, the only thing i found was removing it so you can build your own
knotty steeple
you cant edit the default
unless you go in discord.py source i guess
which is

Ok so earlier i ask a question about this error E:\<REDACTED PATH>\node_modules\integer\build\integer.vcxproj(20,3): error MSB4019: The imported project "E:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the path in the <Import> declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk. I checked path on my server, its not there so idk where is came from, and I looked up the error code. The error code is for C# or like C++ i forget, but anyway I'm coding in js so this very much confuses me.
harsh nova
could I get an opinion on this: http://familyfriendly.xyz/b/bob/db
is it clear that he thing is a search bar

formal agate
seems like an error tho
harsh nova
error?
harsh nova
oh
hmm
tbh I like the red text, should i change the color
I have no idea how to style things lol
amber fractal
add a dark theme then you're good
harsh nova

harsh nova
daRK theme yeet
formal agate
just not red
harsh nova
gotcha
