(Discord.JS)
How do I make a report command like, the input is /report @someone (reason) and I want it to be sent in an embed to a channel in my Discord server.
The output will be like:
User#0000 has been reported
(Reason)
Reported by UserWhoReported#0000
If someone could help that’d be great!
slender thistle
I'd suggest using two fields for that
Field1 name: Reported User
Field 1 value: (the reported user's name and tag)
Field2 name: Reported By
Field2 value: (the person who reported)
mild escarp
ok

Keep a database of the user and store it somewhere into another channel too

does somebody know how to wait for a foreach loop to end in js?
need it ASAP
amber fractal
Afaik you cant
You can return a promise and get data out of it, but you still cant wait for that data specifically.
earnest phoenix
like i want to do something when a loop ends
amber fractal
Yeah ik
earnest phoenix
like sending results of whathappened in the loop
amber fractal
Im saying that isnt a possibility
You can do something like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38406920/best-way-to-wait-for-foreach-to-complete

@earnest phoenix is there an error?

Please enter at least 300 characters excluding special characters in your detailed description. Add your commands. Spaces or empty spaces are not counted.
im uploading a bot on discordbots.org
grim aspen
300 words spaced
earnest phoenix
and it says that
grim aspen
simple as i can put it
earnest phoenix
but what i need to do i dont get it?
lusty dew
How can I make my purge command show the correct amount of messages deleted
D.js master
earnest phoenix
count the amount of messages you pass to the bulk delete method
what?
i dont understand
Please enter at least 300 characters excluding special characters in your detailed description. Add your commands. Spaces or empty spaces are not counted.
grim aspen
put a total of 300 words with spaces, and have; what it does, it's main help command, it's specialty
lusty dew
I already have
.then(messages => {....}
grim aspen
the long description
lusty dew
But when I do true (the second param of bulkDelete) it returns 0 messages deleted when I’ve deleted 20
lusty dew
The deleting of the messages work out
lusty dew
Yes I fetch messages
earnest phoenix
no
ok so
if you put in !purge 20
Please enter at least 300 characters excluding special characters in your detailed description. Add your commands. Spaces or empty spaces are not counted.
then the first arg is the deleted count
dudes what i need to do
wth
it means exactly what it says
use your brain
@earnest phoenix enter 300 characters
but where
about your bot
in brief description?
no
lusty dew
Okay but that’s not accurate @earnest phoenix
grim aspen
in the long description
earnest phoenix
where then?
grim aspen
lusty dew
They can put 100 but in reality it only deletes 20 messages
earnest phoenix
@lusty dew ok, but when you fetch messages their should be a count
yes
but there is no any other description
HELP
@lusty dew the second parameter is whether to filter old messages because you can't bulk delete messages older than two weeks, setting the second parameter to true will filter it out
limit: integer
THERE IS NO OTHER
description
SOMEONE HELP ME
loud salmon
yall be nice
@earnest phoenix the black bar is where you need to add the long description
grim aspen
http://prntscr.com/pazopw @earnest phoenix
lusty dew
I know but when I put true then I do
.then(messages => {message.channel.send(messages.size)})
``` it returns 0have you read what i said
well i know
jesus christ can no one use their brain today
earnest phoenix
i use something similar but i can’t recall how i got the message count lmao
i know it’s simple but
lol
lusty dew
So my next question is if you would stop being so damn ignorant
earnest phoenix
ohh @loud salmon thanks
lusty dew
Is how can I get the actual number of messages deleted while still having true
loud salmon
@earnest phoenix write about your bot. talk about its features, its commands, and how it works
earnest phoenix
in both descriptions?
loud salmon
if you cant reach 300 characters, then you need to add more features
earnest phoenix
do i have to explain it like i should explain it to a kid?
set true on the second parameter
it will make old messages that can't be bulk deleted go boom from the collection
it returns the amount of messages that can and were bulk deleted
earnest phoenix
ok thanks
if it returns 0 it means that 0 messages have been bulk deleted
so, none
lusty dew
But that’s false
earnest phoenix
you can't bulk delete messages older than 2 weeks
lusty dew
I know
earnest phoenix
so you probably have some other code deleting it too
using the DELETE request on the message itself
earnest phoenix
does it return 0 regardless in which channel, regardless of whether there have been recent messages or not
cry did explain it
lusty dew
It returns 0 when any messages have been deleted
earnest phoenix
you use messages.size right?
after using js bulkDelete().then(messages => { // code that you have });
@lusty dew
lusty dew
You don’t have to ping me wtf
lusty dew
You just sent the message
earnest phoenix
ok
lusty dew
Give a person time to respond
earnest phoenix
sorry for harming you by pings
loud salmon
hey hey hey, clearly everyone in this conversation is worn out. My suggestion is that everyone take a 5-10 minute break
lusty dew
No I just don’t like being pinged for no reason
loud salmon
go in a different discord channel, watch a youtube video, or just try and walk around for a bit
lusty dew
🤷
const fetched = await message.channel.messages.fetch({limit: args[0]});
message.channel.bulkDelete(fetched, true)
.then(messages => {
message.channel.send(`:check: Deleted ${messages.size} messages`)
});
This is my bulkDelete code
sullen yacht
He's helping you chill a ping won't kill you
earnest phoenix
is args[0] an integer or string
lusty dew
If it is a string it becomes an int
loud salmon
any more toxicity from anyone here and they get a break much longer than 10 minutes, kthx
loud salmon
you can be muted again if the toxicity continues
earnest phoenix
my suggestion is to go to the official discord.js server
lusty dew
🤷 whatever
loud salmon
damn
lusty dew
If you guys don't want to help then don't have a development channel
earnest phoenix

people have been trying to help you though, but its just been a bit unclear
due to 3 people asking questions at once

are you listening to the error event?

Yeah. Full process.

well you could simply not log that error when it comes
if the process is not crashing, and the shard reconnects successfully, then the lib is handling it correctly, your choice to log it or not

Ill take the no logging one

you can log it as a single line info text, instead of the full warning/error object

well, it's in ready.js, so it wouldn't occur when your bot joins/leaves a guild (unless you have it wrapped inside a listener, but that's a big no no).

Why would you need to set the status to dnd every 20 seconds?

@heavy marsh if you want to update the numbers on an interval, you have to get their sizes again

Is Eris better than discord.js?

if you are willing to modify d.js for memory usage while keeping the ease of access then d.js

the trade offs is the memory Usage
if you are not willing to modify d.js for memory
then go use eris

my 12k guild bot uses 550mb ram with discord.js, its up to you to be clearing your cache (although d.js could be giving better controls over it)
quartz kindle
my 1.5k guild bot uses 50mb ram with djs-shenanigans (200-300mb with normal discord.js)
grim aspen
@indigo geyser next time I suggest not to spoon feed, no one really learn from it
indigo geyser
I only wanted to help him
grim aspen
Yeah, I can understand. The best you can do is give him a tutorial website and a library website like discord.js.org
#rules-and-info
grim aspen
No, attacking a beginner is basically harassing them
indigo geyser
And spoon feed?
grim aspen
Spoon feed is basically what you said

Ok

Hi, I fixed my bot problem, what do I need to do now for it to enter the server? Who do I talk to?
Anybody know?

if it was muted or kicked, contact the mod who did it.
if it was not approved, submit a new application on the website

Hola People. Want to learn about making Discord Bots? Check out this guide that @valid frigate and I made. https://vinniehat-1.gitbook.io/guide-to-making-your-own-discord-bot/
cursive dagger
Good tutorial ^ (recommended for beginners)
abstract crow
Thanks
I felt things like choosing a code editor just has to go in there. It was big for me and stuff like that.
sudden geyser
Guide looks nice. You could add some basic code for js and py from the homepage too.
vernal basin
I just began my first discord bot project and this guide is going to save me thanks
valid frigate
Vinnie did you include how to shard
haven't read it yet but will in a sec
also vinnie you can put this on gitbook https://gitbook.io
mossy vine
@abstract crow here is some feedback ig
- you arent really mentioning that js can be used outside of the web with node.js
- visual studio can also be used for js development (and its quite a powerful tool for the job, but also quite heavy)
- recommend more learning resources
- telling people to add their non-unique bots to dbl might not necessarily be a good idea. there is already an oversaturation of mediocre non-unique bots
- mention how important it is to secure your token before publishing to github
- the server recommendation part includes too many information that a beginner might not know or care about, such as ip addresses, bandwith, custom image support, etc.
- as vysion said, sharding
devout chasm
idk about sharding for beginners lul
abstract crow
^^^^
@mossy vine Thanks for the honest feedback. The servers part I said was for when you get more advanced, and I don't think sharding is anywhere on a beginners mindset, and as a mod for DBL we are supposed to encourage adding your bot so I added that in there. It doesn't really matter if they are all the same, its just we want to welcome them type of thing. I will take a look tho. Thanks 🙂
Docs going up on gitbook soon
valid frigate
@abstract crow my feedback
- better formatting: text is hard to tell apart (lists, etc)
- w3schools isn't really a good resource
- like cyber, tell people to think about what other tusers would want before creating a bot to avoid generic bot making
mossy vine
there are some very generic ideas at the bottom
valid frigate
i should make an entire seperate guide for sharding
djs docs don't cover it
well*
mossy vine
discordjs.guide covers it very well tho

how to do an prefix with space between prefix and command?
earnest phoenix
Should a movie command be limited to NSFW Channels ?
sudden geyser
- General: if it can return nsfw info, yes.
- Woah: Add a space at the end of the prefix (assuming it's in a value or something)
glad herald
I have an idea.
You can have webcams on discord servers. When Fred boat joins and in a webcam call it should try to make it show the video. Just an idea
loud salmon
we arent really a suggestion discord @glad herald 🤷
glad herald
well do something with that idea. Its a great idea.
loud salmon
no, bots can use streaming/purple status, but broadcasting video to a channel is only for users @earnest phoenix
also yea we aren't the fredboat support server @glad herald
earnest phoenix
Aight!
soft eagle
how fast can a bot change game status online status and pfp on milaseconds?
loud salmon
@soft eagle absolute minimum is 12 seconds. But we would prefer that you do something like 120 seconds
soft eagle
i have game as 1 minute, status 3 minutes and pfp 1 hour
loud salmon
thats good @soft eagle
@earnest phoenix every 15 minutes or so you can change the pfp
earnest phoenix
That‘s nice didn‘t know that
slim heart
how would one go about formatting a database update of a key in "whatever.key.etc" into the actual update object
so like set("thing.value", true) would do update({thing:{value: true}})
quartz kindle
if your input is a string, you can split it on "."
and iterate over the array and build a json obj
another option is to use eval
slim heart
but how would i be able to go even further
like "whatever.thing.otherthing.value"
like idek where to start
quartz kindle
a recursive function or a loop
slim heart
im trying a for loop but im lost in how i can go into a newer object
quartz kindle
if you split it on dots, you get an array, you can loop over it infinitely
slim heart
like i can get it like {a: {b: value}} but not {a: {b: {c: value}}
the issue isnt making the loop ive no idea the logic behind how i could actually do what i need
slim heart
What about setting the value after cuz that was the big part for me? I guess checking against the index and seeing if it’s the last one?
amber fractal
That would probably make the most sense

Reviewed the bot rules again (cause i forgot half of them)
Bots will receive a mute if they:
• Spam testing channels
does that include if the bot is commanded to spam? (ex: pref!spam "text" 12)
unique nimbus
yes
jade thistle
okk
unique nimbus
spamming is not allowed
jade thistle
good to know

@jade thistle if you have a spam command in your bot, its going to get declined

What's the best way to add a timeout to eval()

I'm pondering ways to bypass the 100 message limit on TextChannel.bulkDelete in discord.js. I've thought of just getting a huge collection, filtering out old messages, splitting up the collection into pieces of size 100, then using a for loop to await bulkDelete each piece. Does this seem like a decent idea, or would it ultimately fail?
knotty steeple
isnt that just api abuse
limpid flower
Maybe
hushed berry
The max is discord imposed afaik
earnest phoenix
SamuraiStacksToday at 12:04 AM
isnt that just api abuse
it isn't
api abuse would be to automate that process and keep it running for x amount of minutes/hours
some libraries do the same as proxxa proposed; split the requests into batches of 100 messages/request

quartz kindle
variables are case sensitive. you should probably learn some basic javascript first
and its not the id the goes there, its your bot token
slender thistle
That sounds like a funny thing to do
Make client.login support IDs but require token when the script is run and then if the ID under entered token does not match, close the program

For activate the bot ? What i'm suppose to do ?

You're saving the bio and that's it
If you want them linked to a user
You're gonna need to save some kind of reference to the user together with the bio
user id would be perfect for that

is that better? @late hill
late hill
yes
but setbio will allow people to create multiple bios
and fill up your database
So you should do something about that
stray garnet
but what
late hill
Instead of always creating a new entry
You can check if there's already one created
If so, just edit that one
stray garnet
but how
late hill
late hill
Use findOne in your setbio to check if they already have one
if yes, edit the bio, save
if no, create a new one
quartz kindle
just assign it to some unique key
like guildID+userID
or just userID if its not guild specific
i can see that you're already using them, there should be a way to set them as the primary key no?
so if they already exist, it will be updated, if not, it will be created
stray garnet
any Example please?
quartz kindle
i dont use mongo
but looking at their docs, you should be able to achieve that by creating a unique index
late hill
Using Mongo's unique indexes will most likely throw an error when you try to create another document with the same index
So you'd still have to check yourself
quartz kindle
he should be able to use update with upsert:true
instead of insert
but i dont use mongo so idk
also depends on how mongoose handles it
you should look into the mongoose docs

amber fractal
same db, different library

I agree with Steven
That one is officially made by MongoDB and it's optimised for production purposes

mongoose worked fine with my 50k server bot tho
quasi forge
Did you try using mongodb tho
stray garnet
findOneAndUpdate() so i would use that insetad of findOne()?
quasi forge
Yes
stray garnet
Ok
steel heath
nah but it's like 200us why would i use different library to get 100us faster time
i prefer async functions btw @stray garnet
quasi forge
It's more like 40-50ms
steel heath
and connecting to mongodb on each command is not good i think
i only had one connection and moved that through all of my commands
quasi forge
^
amber fractal
I connected in the ready event and added it as a variable to the client
steel heath
thats even more stonks
amber fractal
so like client.db
steel heath
using client is smart
amber fractal
It's the variable that should be in all of your bot related files
earnest phoenix
resp[i].ID.slice(5) how do i convert that to a username ?
that gives the ID resp[i].ID.slice(5)
steel heath
well you get can the user object from discord if your website is connected to your bot somehow
client.users.get(resp[i].ID.slice(5)) i think
earnest phoenix
why doesnt the client.fetchUser(resp[i].ID.slice(5)).username work?
steel heath
try js client.fetchUser(resp[i].ID.slice(5)).then(u => u.username)
earnest phoenix
your one works
steel heath
or js // only if your function is async const user = await client.fetchUser(resp[i].ID.slice(5)); return user.username
steel heath
uhh
earnest phoenix
<%=client.fetchUser(resp[i].ID.slice(5)).then(u => u.username)%>
amber fractal
because fetch returns a promise
steel heath
yep
amber fractal
you could (await ...).username
earnest phoenix
any way i can define it
steel heath
await is not possible in ejs by default afaik
earnest phoenix
:/
steel heath
i suggest you do that back in your code
twin kestrel
Hello everyone!
I have a problem that happens more and more frequently.
I have an event called "guildCreate" and another called "guildRemove" and the problem is that it gives false positives, that is, it says that "x" server has expelled it (and coincidentally one of them I manage it) and then says it has been added.
I know they are false positives because something appears with this scheme:
guildRemove, guildCreate, guildRemove, guildRemove, guildCreate, guildRemove, guildCreate, guildCreate, guildCreate (Logically with the same server ID, same owner and same number of members)
I use discord.js
EDIT: Right now this is happening
earnest phoenix
<%=client.fetchUser(resp[i].ID.slice(5)).then(u => u.username)%>
returns
[object Promise]
steel heath
const user = await client.fetchUser(resp[i].ID.slice(5));
response.render("something.ejs", {
userObject: user
});
/* ^^ is not gonna work */
``` i prefer doing it like this in your express routenice
earnest phoenix
object Promise?
loud salmon
@twin kestrel its because the guildRemove and guildCreate events are fired when a server looses connection and then goes back online.
i don't know much about discordjs
they are also fired when the bot is kicked/added to a server
twin kestrel
Seriously? Well, it happens to me constantly
loud salmon
thats what i think is the issue
amber fractal
twin kestrel
Thanks I will try
loud salmon
@twin kestrel this is specified in the actual discord docs
discordjs doesnt differentiate those two occurrences by default
which is poopoo
earnest phoenix
K
loud salmon
huh
loud salmon
oh kewl
i guess people just dont wanna update
or people are using the wrong methods
earnest phoenix
i use v11 :(((
quartz kindle
let me check v11
earnest phoenix
and yes discordjs does differentiate it in v11 too
quartz kindle
it does in guildCreate, but im not finding anything in the guildDelete source lul
quartz kindle
ah i found it
loud salmon
oofers
quartz kindle
its handled in actions/guildDelete
earnest phoenix
<%=db.fetch(`short_${resp[i].ID.slice(8)}`)%> that returns objectPromise how do i get the data?
quartz kindle
same as you did before
quartz kindle
just do what EGGSY posted
earnest phoenix
i put that code in dashboard.js as well await db.fetch(short_${id})
but it only gets the top data
not everyones
``` db: await db.fetch(short_${id}),
for (var i = 0; i < resp.length; i++) {
resp.length = 10
console.log(resp)
is = resp[i].ID.slice(8)
so db only contains one item?
needs more context tho, i dont know what your code is doing with only those snippets
steel heath
// in your route:
const IDs = new Array(),
users = new Array();
for (var i = 0; i < resp.length; i++) {
IDs.push(resp[i].ID.slice(8));
}
IDs.forEach(id => {
const user = await client.fetchUser(id);
users.push(user.username)
});
response.render("page.ejs", { users });
// in your EJS file (` = for coloring):
`
<% for (var i = 0; i < users.length; i++) { %>
<div class="card">
users[i]
</div>
<% } %>
`
// NOT SURE ANY OF THIS IS GONNA WORK
``` i dont really have time right now sorry this is all i can do for nowand i bet there are better ways to do this
