But yeah. If you give me $100 I will code you a bot like mee6

paid up front, no time wasters ๐
swift topaz
Oh yeah I'm using the discord.js-lavalink I guess it's good then @topaz fjord ?
topaz fjord
yes
tight heath
Mee6 super gay
swift topaz
Since I'm using javascript I guess I don't need to make jars...?
topaz fjord
You can download the lavalink jar
quartz kindle
imo a job like that would go for at least 500 bucks

twin kestrel
Hi all!
I put them in situation quickly because I need help
I am using shard on my Discord bot and today when I went to do the tests on a Discord server that I do not use, I realize that it does not react to commands. Then I have returned to my usual server and it works correctly.
I also have a statistics command where it gives me the number of servers in which the bot is linked and marks me 1 instead of 2.
If anyone knows the answer, let me know
Excuse me for my English
tight heath
@swift topaz don't use Lavalink then
twin kestrel
This is my script
const { ShardingManager } = require('discord.js');
const config = require("./config.js");
const manager = new ShardingManager('./index.js', { token: config.token });
const shards = 2;
manager.spawn(shards, 15000, false);
manager.on('launch', shard => console.log(`[Sistema] Se ha cargado el Shard #${shard.id} correctamente.`));
setTimeout(() => {
console.log("Reiniciando")
manager.broadcastEval("process.exit()");
}, 21600000);```Groovy doesn't either and we have multiple servers working fine
swift topaz
I see I see
I guess I shouldn't really dwell much on libraries since I'm literally only deploying my bot on a single server
tight heath
And my js bot which uses Lavaplayer works without it too
We use our sharding manager to manage Lavaplayer instances
swift topaz
I was just looking for alternate solutions since I'm having problems with ytdl-core
quartz kindle
@twin kestrel did you wait for 15 seconds? does the bot appear online in both servers, or is it offline in one?
twin kestrel
Yes
The bot appears online
Load everything well until it reaches the ready.js event
It gives a supposed error when loading the shard # 1 of an indefinite channel (which if it is defined)
twin kestrel
As? I did not understand, sorry
twin kestrel
client.channels.get('589393059545088001').send(crash)```TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined
quartz kindle
when you shard, each shard will only have access to half of the servers
which means, that channel doesnt exists in one of the shards
twin kestrel
Okay
Then ... how do I fix the error that causes the bot not to recognize the commands (well, rather than not responding)
quartz kindle
its probably not responding because the channel not found caused it to crash
twin kestrel
So, how can I define it so that it sends the message?
quartz kindle
the easy way to fix is to check if the channel exists before doing anything if(...get(id)) { ...get(id).send() }
but doing that will make that line only work in that shard, not in others
if you want to send messages to that channel from all shards, you need to use broadcasteval
twin kestrel
I fixed that, rebooted the bot and now does not respond to any of the servers
west spoke
@oblique token ....... fuckin ping me again for no reason and I swear
twin kestrel
And it does not give any error in the console
quartz kindle
how did you fix it?
twin kestrel
if(client.channels.get('589393059545088001')) {
client.channels.get('589393059545088001').send(crash)
}```
violet jetty
๐
twin kestrel
Oh, I already found the error, it was another event with the same system
Now if it reacts on both servers, but the server counter keeps dialing 1 instead of 2
quartz kindle
thats normal, because it can only count the servers in the shard
violet jetty
Why not get server then channel?
quartz kindle
if you want to do things across all shards, you need to use broadcasteval or fetchclientvalues
violet jetty
Fetch will be better
vague chasm
why is this 0?
quartz kindle
@violet jetty that has nothing to do with the issue, we are talking about sharding
violet jetty
Okie
quartz kindle
@vague chasm Day() returns the day of the week
sunday is 0, the first day of the week in your system
warm marsh
So quick question, Does any library/language have support for listening to someone's voice via voice channel?
twin kestrel
I have already run the server counter, although the game activity stopped working in shard 0, in the other shard it works
Error: Still spawning shards.
earnest phoenix
@opaque eagle flatten?
twilit rapids
That means the manager hasn't launched all shards yet @twin kestrel
So wait until all shards are laucnhed
e.g. by checking the current shards count
twin kestrel
They already loaded all and the only one that does not work is the first one that starts
EDIT: I made a waiting time in the presence code

Does anyone know how to use pm2
stray garnet
yo? guyz my bot dont wanna go online no more
twin kestrel
Sorry to bother again, but I have a small problem, my bot sends a record in a channel of my server when the "guildCreate" event is executed and takes the ID, how can I make this affect all the shards (I do not know if I explain it well enough)
opaque eagle
@valid frigate client.ws.ping
@broken shale post ur question and someone will help if they can
@twin kestrel I'm pretty sure you don't have to worry about that
valid frigate
oh ok
twin kestrel
But it's not the only event / command that uses that variable
opaque eagle
wdym
twin kestrel
I have a command to report bugs and do exactly the same as in the guildCreate event
opaque eagle
Ohh so the report guild is on a different shard from your support guild, so it can't send the message?
opaque eagle
I'd use webhooks instead
twin kestrel
I do not know how to handle webhooks
topaz fjord
And get rid of the pain of searching for the guilds
opaque eagle
Go to the channel where you want logs and make a webhook there. @twin kestrel
Then, you can do js client.logs = new Discord.WebhookClient("Webhook ID", "Webhook Token"); client.logs.send(/* You can send text/embeds/files */);
twin kestrel
I'll try

So I asked this question the other day and got ignore but how to get <Guild>.iconURL in discord.js@12.0.0-dev

mossy vine
is it acceptable to use
if(condition) {

if(otherCondition) {

return
}```
instead of
```js
if(condition) {
//code
} else if(otherCondition) {
//otherCode
}```
somber verge
that depends on what you want the code to do exactly
the first one can have both execute at the same time
mossy vine
it cant if it returns tho?
somber verge
unlike the aecond one, where only one of the options will be executed
yeah context also changes that
smoky mica
somber verge
it depends on what you want it to do and the code that gets run
if it has return both should work

@mossy vine preference is the only rule for that

former is more clean imo
dark dust
just a question, isn't "else if" elif?

not in javascript
dark dust
thanks for your answer

i'd say the second option if strictly deciding between two logic paths
first option if going through a checklist that could possibly change or require more checks in the future

@loud salmon
How to unmute your bot?
(my bot)
loud salmon
@earnest phoenix fix the issue, then contact a mod
earnest phoenix
ok
quartz kindle
you should pass a function to .find() instead
also checking for a guild after the channel is useless, because channels are already unique if you're using the channel id
earnest phoenix
console.log(`${HERE I NEED HELP} Deleted ${message.id} ${message.name}`)
})``` i can somehow to get the name if he delete the message?the event doesn't provide that info
you can attempt to grab it from audit logs though
then it's a big F word
for me
mossy vine
do you want to know the original message or who deleted it?
earnest phoenix
Who deleted it
mossy vine
yeah, you need to grab it from audit logs
earnest phoenix
Ok , thx for help @earnest phoenix and @mossy vine

Anyone know how to keep my node.js bot alive with pm2
It shuts down after 5m (hosted on vps)
It still crashes after 3mins

If it crashes then that's an issue with your code
And you need to check logs and figure out the issue
pm2 just restarts it when it crashes

is it because I need to do node . then pm2 start bot.js

you dont want to start it with node and pm2

how do I convert this .addField(' ', ' ') to something like this

title: 'Jigglypuff!',
description: 'Puff!',
field: 'Prefix',
text: 'puff.',
color: 0xfca2dd,
thumbnail: {url: bot.user.displayAvatarURL}
}});```the field part of an embed is an array of objects with name and value properties
swift topaz
.addField('Prefix' ,'puff.');
amber fractal
swift topaz
so I should make it field.name and field.value respectively inside that constructor?
oh I get it
amber fractal
there's a fields property in the embed that is an array
the embed visualizer helps

you could use array.findIndex()+1 || 0, but thats kinda weird too

client.guilds.array().reduce((prev, next) => prev + next.memberCount, 0);
you could use reduce to avoid an unnecessary variable

I have a strange thing, please help! (Discordjs, sharded but only 1 shard atm)
I am saving the channelid of a channel in that the user has written a certain command .
I do this so i can later write him back.
I did not do any differenciation between direct message channels and guild channels. I tought the channelid is unique and i can simply but.channels.get and channel.send without making a difference between those two.
With guild channels it works all fine, but with direct messages, it only sometimes cannot find the channel anymore and i get 'undefined' back. Can a direct message channel id change?
quartz kindle
let a = something
let a = somethingelse //error
earnest phoenix
i dont even got the time to read lol
quartz kindle
@viral spade when you receive a dm, your client will cache the channel id, but if you restart the bot or something, it will no longer be cached
quartz kindle
i dont know if you can fetch the dm channel by id
but you can fetch the user id and send it through the user.send method
which will recreate the channel in the cache
twilit rapids
Tim big brain

^
quartz kindle
lol wut
topaz fjord
But not all users will be cached tim
quartz kindle
i said fetch the user id lol
topaz fjord
dusky inlet
and how to do this now xD
viral spade
thanks tim!
and this is possible from any shard? also if the user is not in any guild from that shard?
quartz kindle
im not sure if you can fetch a user from another shard, try it out. if it doesnt work then do it via broadcasteval
dusky inlet
can anyone send me a code of this because I do not know how to do this?
topaz fjord
If you're using internal sharding it will work
viral spade
ok and then it also could be that i send the message twice, because the user could be in 2 shards because of 2 separate guilds. or not?
quartz kindle
@dusky inlet what part are you not understanding?
topaz fjord
@viral spade it could but in that case just go with the first guild available
dusky inlet
I did not understand how to make this membercount for all

with bot.users.size
viral spade
ok thanks. but thsi wont be useful when i wnat my bot to be horizontally scalable over different servers or?

bot.guilds.reduce((accumulator,value) => {accumulator += value.memberCount; return accumulator}, 0)```where to put it

oh thanks you so much it works

you can do this tim```js

Is there a limit to how many messages you can purge at a time with one command? Some people say yes and some say no.
earnest phoenix
how can i fix 2048 limit? On embed
viral spade
- When i want to direct message a user by userid, and not in direct response to a message from him, i will always have to use fetch to send it (as it might not be cached), true?
Assume i have many shards on multiple vps and many messages to different specific users that have to be sent (within rate limits). Assume i have those messages ready in a remote database [userid,message].
- How would i go about it? Grab all rows from the database with shard 0, fetch all users for those messages and send them with only this one shard?
quartz kindle
@wintry jungle i believe 100 messages is the limit
@earnest phoenix you have to split it into multiple embeds/fields
wintry jungle
@quartz kindle thanks
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle, I'm now using array still

But my solution with using only 1 shard poses no threat to duplicate messages
quartz kindle
if you run shards in different machines, you cant use broadcastEval, you need to use something to communicate between shards, like an api
viral spade
?
quartz kindle
have you tried fetching a user from another shard? does it work? i havent tested that myself
btw d.js master has a way to fetch channels
viral spade
Well if user or channel doesnt really matter atm, i have both ids saved.
Yes tim it works, i successfully fetched a testuser, that has no guild in common with the bot.
1 So doing the whole sending from shard 0 should do the trick without duplicates y?
2 And there is no more efficient way of sending from the according shards themselves right? The user might not even be cached, if he is in a guild of the shard right?
3. Is there always a shard with id 0 and is it safe to put a if (bot.shard.id == 0) into my cronjob that fetches the remote database?
quartz kindle
- yup, it should
- sending can be done from any shard, it doesnt make a difference
- there should always be a shard 0 yes, shard 0 always holds all dm channels
viral spade
thanks a thousand times
quartz kindle
so you can even do someting like if(client.channels.get(userid)) { send } else { fetchuser; send }
in shard 0
viral spade
wait, u said shard 0 holds always all dm channels? but also only if any other shard had some business with it?
quartz kindle
received dms are always in shard 0
viral spade
oh i see
quartz kindle
other shards can send dms, and should in theory also hold channels for dms they themselves create
but if the channel is being received, it will always go to shard 0
also, im not sure, but other shards should not receive dms, even in channels they create themselves
viral spade
okey nice so once any user from any shard sent a dm and my bot didnt restart since then, it will simply be ablte to .get it without api on my shard 0?
oh and what is the rate limit, do you know? the discord doku page about it confuses me^^
quartz kindle
if the users reply to the dm yes, im not sure if the sending already does create it in shard 0, another thing you can test
rate limit should be the same everywhere, 5 per 5 per channel
viral spade
sorry, 5 what per 5 what?^^
quartz kindle
5 messages per 5 seconds per channel
quartz kindle
not sure about that
viral spade
okey another question to the topic.
cron.schedule('0 * * * * *', async function() {
try {
if (bot.shard.id == 0)
await sendDm(bot);
await sendGuild(bot);
} catch (e) { console.log(e); }
});
Only shard 0 checks for ready dm messages. all shards check for ready guild channel messages. Does this make sense?
When i let all shards query the guild channel messages (at the same time) from my remote db, can i 100% expect that only 1 shard will successfully bot.channels.get() for each one message? Is every guild text channel only on 1 of my shards ever?
topaz fjord
- A guilds text channel can't be on two shards
- You can expect that only one shard with successfully complete the task if you give it the right id
- Yes that does make sense that shard 0 checks for dm messages since afaik it's the only shard that receives dms
vagrant bison
France is a good location for putting a bot?
languid dragon
i would recommend US servers
vagrant bison
In France, how much will my bot have more ping?
languid dragon
depends
vagrant bison
have more??
languid dragon
depends?
i mean, your bot is going to respond faster in servers that are closer to where it's located
i don't think that directly affects your ping, i think your ping only matters to it's closest discord datacenter?
vagrant bison
yes
quartz kindle
afaik, the discord gateway is in US east
those regions are only for voice servers
if your bot is hosted in france, it will have lower ping to the Central/Western Europe voice servers, but will have a higher ping to the discord gateway

Is there a way to put an image on top of a grid like this to figure out x/y coordinates?

just put the image on the canvas?

lucid iris
Any idea how to setup an index.ts file so tsc exports it as a module?
Or do I need to write it by hand?
I'm trying to find out how but the results I find have little to do with what I'm trying to find.
What I'm trying to achieve is being able to use
import { Something } from 'module-name';
mossy vine
use the export statement
lucid iris
In what fashion?
export { Something } from './module-name';
simply outputs the same exact text to the *.d.ts file
mossy vine
export Something
lucid iris
Declaration or statement expected.
storm lily
quartz kindle
what error?
lucid iris
If anyone cares, I fixed it by adding some properties on package.json (see step 4 here https://www.tsmean.com/articles/how-to-write-a-typescript-library/)
opaque eagle
@lucid iris Are you trying to add typings to your JavaScript project or work on a TypeScript project?
maiden mauve
anyone know if you have to code file paths different when being run on Heroku?
I added my project but it's saying cannot find module "./folder/file.js"
opaque eagle
what's that file exactly
and can u give me the full path of both a) "./folder/file.js" and b) the file ur requiring "./folder/file.js", without censoring anything.

inner jewel
use / instead of \
maiden mauve
const c = require('./commands\\common.js');
probably not considering there's a backslash
inner jewel
because windows uses \ for paths
other systems use /
windows also accepts / so just use / everywhere
inner jewel
too bad
mossy vine
heroku uses other systems tho
maiden mauve
ty tho I'll test it out
im not sure why I had it written like that in the first place
opaque eagle
Use path
const path = require("path");
require(path.join(__dirname, "commands", "common.js")) // you can chain as much as you want```When you do it this way path will join all those using the proper type of slash for the OS it's running in
maiden mauve
fancy
maiden mauve
yeah, I'm sure it solved that problem
I'm back to dealing with newbie mistakes on building/pushing to server
tight heath
Path is always a safe option though.
quartz kindle
its probably good to use if you're packaging your app for multiplatform, but if all you're doing is running it on a server, its kinda un-needed lol
opaque eagle
lol

@valid frigate message.author is 90% of your answer
i think if thats what your looking for
valid frigate
message.author?
inner jewel
if you're using a web dyno, you need to actually have a web server
valid frigate
no it's the message's id not the author's id
inner jewel
you want message object from message id?
maiden mauve
if you have the id of a message wouldn't that mean its assigned to a variable somehow?
inner jewel
no
valid frigate
uh yeah
inner jewel
the id could come from anywhere
valid frigate
actually not sure if that works or not
inner jewel
eg a db
maiden mauve
ah true
inner jewel
if you have a message and channel id, you can get the message
valid frigate
yeah i'm planning to store the message id in a db
& channel id
what i'm doing right now is getting the channel
inner jewel
the channel object should have a function for getting a message by id
valid frigate
oh yeah i see
i wasnt type casting Channel to TextChannel, so the function wasnt showing up
earnest phoenix
you can do channel.fetchMessage(โidโ)
robust lantern
what is a readme?
opaque eagle
Tells others what your project is about @robust lantern
mossy vine
@robust lantern a document that has information about the project
valid frigate
channel.fetchMessage isn't a function on master?
tight heath
Or .get if you're sure you have it cached
opaque eagle
@maiden mauve Save this text to a file called Procfile and push it to heroku: worker: npm start
valid frigate
yeah it's cached
tight heath
what if you restart the bot
valid frigate
oh shit wait no it isnt lmao
maiden mauve
@opaque eagle I changed it from web to worker node index.js
opaque eagle
gr8
valid frigate
mfw i still dont know the difference between get and fetch
inner jewel
i'd assume get is only cached and fetch requests if not in cache
maiden mauve
wait maybe I screwed that up
tight heath
yes, don't forget to await or .then
inner jewel
anything that needs to go back to the event loop to work is async
opaque eagle
If your file isn't named index.js then it won't survive... if it is, then it will
inner jewel
read: io, (properly implemented) delays, etc
inner jewel
there are sync variants, but in general you'll want to do it async
maiden mauve
thanks for all the help

Git is a headache when you don't understand the language they are using

sync io is the worst thing you can do in node besides one time things like require()

valid frigate
i thought too many async calls block the event loop
opaque eagle
Git is legit the easiest VCS everr
inner jewel
they won't block the loop
maiden mauve
yeah, as I use Git more it's doing a lot for minimal input
just every "tool" has its own language
@opaque eagle npm start would require another command line to point to your main file right?
opaque eagle
yeah you'd have to specify it in package.json
I thought you'd already have done that

I have no idea what the data usage of different bots is
my biggest issue was having to compress my bot folder and physically change the launch point
having 3 different PCs host it
web became a necessity
even though the javascript itself is like 100 kb it's amazing how annoying that gets
opaque eagle
That's what heroku does... cram a bunch of processes in the same physical server
abstract crow
Does anyone know how I can make modules for my Discord.JS commands?
topaz fjord
Wut

@abstract crow can you elaborate
abstract crow
Like Dillon said, modular commands. I have a command handler, just not folders for each type of command
So in my commands folder I have like 20 files instead of folders
topaz fjord
oh
gritty bolt
is there a way to make each word or phrase between a space into a varible?
like each argument, without having to separately slice them all?
since I dont think im doing it right
currently im trying to use 'args' in my command handler, but can someone point me the right way as in how to use it?

@abstract crow
instead of:

do this:
/folder/command group/
scan folder, for each folder in folder, scan command group, add commands
it's just a bit more logic
opaque eagle
What's koa and is it any good?
abstract crow
So should I do a forEach folder and forEach command in that folder?
sick cloud
@opaque eagle koa is a new kind of express, same devs but more modular, give it a go
topaz fjord
scan the folder for it's directories
Then go through each directory and add the commands in those
@abstract crow
so basically a foreach in a foreach
koa is the better expre
express
Written by the same devs using all the knowledge they've gained from writing express
sick cloud
scan /commands
for each folder in commands
scan /foldername
for each command in foldername

One quick question, how to i get shard status like ping and how many servers/users with that shard (shard_id) (discord.py)
@ me
opaque eagle
I was looking at the example... why does it use async when it doesn't need to lmao
gritty bolt
can anyone answer my question?
spare goblet
@gritty bolt I don't understand your question, wdym a word or space between each word into a variable
pale marsh
I think he basically means splitting a string?
spare goblet
Well yeah you can 
spare goblet
Remember arrays start with 0
gritty bolt
yeah, the first argument is 0, then 1, 2, 3, etc
valid frigate
noob question hours
how do i literally restart one shard
i cant access the shard object from anywhere 
earnest phoenix
w h i c h l i b r a r y
pale marsh
Make it publicly accessible then?
Idk how that can be done in JS but I'm pretty sure it's possible
valid frigate
sharded clients dont have access to the shardingmanager iirc
so whenever i try to get it via the ShardingManager it will return undefined
wanton nova
whats the ratelimit for changing your profile picture via the website?

@slender thistle is the code right?
let UPembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()

.setColor([0, 195, 255]);
if(message.guild.id !== '264445053596991498') {
message.channel.send(UPembed);
}
?
i'm brazilian don't worry about embed
slender thistle
Why are you assuming I know discord.js ๐
maiden mauve
lol
I feel like the definition should be inside of the conditional rather than vice versa
but it appears to be correct-ish
var statEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setTitle(playerStr)
.addField('Level',levelStr,true)
.addField('Attack',atkStr,true)
.addField('Defense',defStr,true)
.addField('EXP',`${target.exp}/${target.nextlevel} ${expStr}`,true)
.addField('Perk', perkStr, true)
.setFooter(`...`);
message.channel.send(statEmbed).catch((e) => {
if(e.code === "50013")
c.reply(message,"Bot does not have permissions to embed links!");
console.log(e);
} );
var
maiden mauve
lol I'm trying to make it cleaner
earnest phoenix
any of yall have original bot ideas? like i have a screenshare bot and discord bot.
maiden mauve
just an example of a working embed
tight heath
@maiden mauve to make it cleaner:
var => const
and add indentation before the .addField, .setTitle, etc
hollow saddle
Yeah and donโt use backticks for regular strings like you do with .setFooter
tight heath
oh also
might wanna put a space after a comma
improves readability greatly
my version:
const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setColor('#0099ff')
.setTitle(playerStr)
.addField('Level', levelStr, true)
.addField('Attack', atkStr, true)
.addField('Defense', defStr, true)
.addField('EXP',`${target.exp}/${target.nextlevel} ${expStr}`, true)
.addField('Perk', perkStr, true)
.setFooter('...');
message.channel.send({embed}).catch((e) => {
e.code === "50013"
? message.reply("Bot does not have permissions to embed links!")
: console.log(e);
});
๐
I never really questioned the syntax
but technically it's just an additive property with all the periods right?
line-by-line is just so it doesn't look like a dumpster fire
tight heath
chained function calls
the deeper you go the more you indent
since all of those add to the embed object, they're on level indented
maiden mauve
RichEmbed().setColor().setTitle().addField() etc
maiden mauve
it's the same with mongo query functions?
tight heath
yes
maiden mauve
ah
it's a bit different but it makes sense
for example
players.find( {level: {$gte: rangeLo, $lte: rangeHi}, serverId: message.guild.id } )
.sort( { level: -1} )
.limit(lim)
.exec (function (err,playerArray) {
...
would be the same idea?
scenic vapor
^
tight heath
players
.find({ level: { $gte: rangeLo, $lte: rangeHi }, serverId: message.guild.id })
.sort({ level: -1 })
.limit(lim)
.exec(function(err, playerArray) { ... });
the proper way
btw if you wanna have a fancy pants style guide
have a look at eslint & my config :p
maiden mauve
hahaha
I have a very unrefined project in general, any spacing was just done quickly to make sure braces lined up
tight heath
correctly spaced ([{}]) make for much more readable code
especially with stuff like nested arrays
maiden mauve
it does look prettier, can't debate that
tight heath
:p
but yeah, with eslint you can greatly automate your code looking fancy
if you like my style you can copy the eslint config
maiden mauve
I sorta skipped over all the linting recommendations when I started out
sublimetext is 90% with js
what exactly will it do?
just scan over spacing and braces?
tight heath
a lot more
also variable naming
destructuring
lots of that
in the end you'll get cleancodeโข
maiden mauve
lol
maiden mauve
not quite sure what im looking at with the example
seems to be pretty standard spaced
tight heath
that's the point
and dw about the actual code
it also checks stuff like destructuring, like in line 2
or using !== instead of !=, like in line 33
maiden mauve
its all automatic?
tight heath
yes
maiden mauve
that's kinda cool
tight heath
corresponding config lines in https://github.com/Nekiono/eslint-config-raven/blob/master/.eslintrc.json
destructuring: 256
!= => !==: 57
spacing: 147, 149, 154, 159, ...
inner jewel
what if i want == null/!= null
maiden mauve
btw, while I have a local enthusiast
I don't want to persue this
the double error checking in every case
but you can probably get the idea of whats going on
tight heath
also @inner jewel https://eslint.org/docs/rules/eqeqeq#allow-null
maiden mauve
trying to brainstorm a better way to organize that
tight heath
make a map of spell => minimum required level
check if user has said level else reply with error
inner jewel
spells = {
name: { levelNeeded: 123, dostuff: (args) => { ... } }
}
spell = spells[name]
if(!spell) return
if(level < spell.levelNeeded) {
reply()
return
}
spell.dostuff(...)```yeah, thats the feeling i got
tight heath
also pls don't use var
maiden mauve
lol tbh I have read let,var, const
but they seem to virtually make no difference in output
obviously let is local
inner jewel
var is function scoped and can be reassigned
let is lexically scoped and can be reassigned
const is lexically scoped and can't be reassigned
tight heath
var is global actually
inner jewel
nope
tight heath
as in file-scoped
inner jewel
it's function scoped
inner jewel
maiden mauve
my entire project has no "let"
tight heath
const/let > var
maiden mauve
look at how beautiful they are
inner jewel
unless your code is like this https://i-was-scammed-by.dabbot.org/6J5jzY5.png you can globally replace var with let
aka variables used outside the scope they're declared
maiden mauve
I just had a misconception starting out
that "const" was more of a global definition
and "var" was the go-to tool for multipurpose
I'd say 80% of my variable definitions are readability and not manipulated
so they should all be consts?
inner jewel
if you don't need to reassign, yes
steel cloak
const values cannot be reassign (const - constant). otherwise use let
maiden mauve
is there really a functional scope for "var" at all?
tight heath
what
maiden mauve
well, I guess the need to manipulate it outside of the local scope
tight heath
which never happens 
maiden mauve
it seems more forced that you would make it do that
steel cloak

๐ญ
scenic vapor
haha who would ever use mongoose panicking
maiden mauve
I was learning a lot at once when i started with mongo
tight heath
I wanna make a mongo wrapper called MongoBongo just for the lulz
maiden mauve
and mongoose was a tool that put it all together better
steel cloak
wait if you don't use mongoose then how else
scenic vapor
Mr Ravy sir how can I access a part of a collection without linking the schema
tight heath
since the point of mongo is kinda not to have models
scenic vapor
wokay nvm
scenic vapor
Thanms
what's the official wrapper called
that's a dumb question I can figure that ouy
steel cloak
wait is it better then mongoose?
tight heath
mongoose is a wrapper around mongodb
iirc
yuppers
but basically mongodb is the barebones functionality for interacting with mongo
while mongoose adds models
