slim heart
Redirect uri is already for callback
amber fractal
I think dbl would have you lock it to nsfw channels tho
slim heart
I mean like after all the login is over, atm it goes to the home page
amber fractal
It redirects with a query param in the url doesnt it?
I did oauth stuff like 5 months ago, I forgot how it worked though
slim heart
I don’t think it passes on the query from previous if it just passes on code
earnest phoenix
what do you want to actually do
because this is most likely a case of http://xyproblem.info/
slim heart
Sorry. Sooo, ok, people can go straight to my dashboard with server already filled in. If they’re not logged in or login fails it redirects to the oauth login to properly login. I want to make it so ONCE they properly login, if they logged in through that, redirect them back to that page they originally weren’t logged into rather than just redirects back to home

mossy vine
why dont you use updateOne
https://mongoosejs.com/docs/api/model.html#model_Model.updateOne
outer tulip
So my friend had a question and I just wanted to ask here because i'm not sure with it
His professor told me to make a discord bot that lists out 3 most popular discord servers when you write a subject
So for example, if you write Physics, it's gonna send 3 most popular servers about Physics server
I told him its impossible, literally impossible but can someone clarify
mossy vine
not really impossible, but you need to gather a database of servers. you would essentially be making a server list but in a discord bot
outer tulip
oh
how can we even do that
like the possibility is probably getting 3 popular servers for every subject?
mossy vine
find servers related to the subject, and ask the owner(s) if they are fine with your bot including the server in its list
then its as simple as sorting them by member count or whatever you define as popular
west spoke
^
outer tulip
ok thanks guys
stray garnet
@mossy vine so at if (bio) change Update to updateOne()?
@outer tulip lmao your Professor told you to make an dc bot?
mossy vine
updateOne finds and updates the document
outer tulip
@stray garnet no its my friend who was told, he made a music bot and the professor said to make a bot that lists server cuz making music bot is "too easy"
outer tulip
i mean yea, you just connect to google console APIs
get youtube data api
ez clap
but yea thats what he was told to do
unique nimbus
Saying something is easy is different per person
Everyone has their own experiences
outer tulip
tru dat

@mossy vine

try commenting out the entire thing and using updateOne
it does what you want to do but in 1 function basically

if any of want to take a look of the bot code or package.json tell me
slim heart
This isn’t glitch support
slim heart
For bots
narrow kettle
it is a problem with my bot
slim heart
But it’s not really development it’s a platform issue
fading wigeon
there is no platform channel tho
slim heart
That you should bring up with the people who actually use the platform because it’s not your bot that’s the issue
narrow kettle
so its not a problem with the code?
slim heart
Yes that’s why you go to glitch support
Your bot shouldn’t be running any bash commands so best bet is yes this has nothing to do with the code
narrow kettle
can you give me an example of bash command realy quick? so i can check if i used any
slim heart
It’s literally just a command ran in bash. I can guarantee pretty much that you have not because it’s not even starting in the first place
It’s a glitch issue bring it to glitch please
narrow kettle
i will. thanks

viral spade
Is it normal that my bot with 5k servers needs approx. 3gb of memory after a few hours and rises to 6gb within a few days? Or do i have a memory leak?
slim heart
Is it normal? Yes, should it be the case? No. Like what was just said, sweep caches regularly
earnest phoenix
I'm kind of confused on that, is it like, a manual thing you should do through commands, or should it be automated in some way, I honestly have no idea
quartz kindle
there are many ways to optimize djs
but its not an easy thing to do
my bot uses 60mb ram with 1600 guilds
quartz kindle
djs caches everything by default
including users, members, guilds, channels, emojis, roles, presences, voice states
quartz kindle
thats what i did
but you have to know what you're doing
for example, disabling roles, will also break all permission checking methods
disabling channels caching will break sending and receiving messages
earnest phoenix
Is eris better
quartz kindle
i made a library that handles most of those problems, at the cost of losing some features
smoky spire
Eris doesn't cache at all, so memory-wise yes
smoky spire
Yeah
quartz kindle
and its structure is different
i prefer djs because i've learned it well enough to modify it to my own needs
if anyone is interested in the changes i did, my library is on github lul
earnest phoenix
dm me a link @quartz kindle
quartz kindle
timotejroiko/djs-shenanigans
earnest phoenix
@quartz kindle for the most part, could I easily switch to that instead of djs, without doing much rewrite?
I mean my bot's pretty basic, mainly consisting of sending embeds
verbal basalt
Anyone know a way I can get the bot to run for longer in this code?
celest spear
how to make a bot send an error message if the bot isn't in a nsfw channel? (I use discord.js)
quartz kindle
possibly yes, as it says, you have to test it extensively to make sure everything works as it should
verbal basalt
`import discord
client = discord.Client()
@client.event
async def on_ready():
print('We have logged in as {0.user}'.format(client))
@client.event
async def on_message(message):
if message.author == client.user:
return
if message.content.startswith('HELLO'):
await message.channel.send('Hello!')
client.run('token')`
Forgot to say it's python
quartz kindle
you can run a second bot on the same token with a different prefix to test it, thats what i do lul
slender thistle
to run for longer in this code? What do you mean?
slender thistle
Where are you hosting your bot
earnest phoenix
glitch probably
verbal basalt
Um. So far I've just made the bot and ran the code
slender thistle
locally?
verbal basalt
Yeah
pallid zinc
It must get off when u run some command
earnest phoenix
probably erroring out
verbal basalt
I haven't found a place to properly host this code other than the place I'm coding it
BTW I'm on mobile
slender thistle
What's your discord.py version?
verbal basalt
I will check
slender thistle
Uhh that might be the cause
pallid zinc
message.channel.send() exist in python??
celest spear
hey, i have a question.
how to make a bot sends an error message if the bot isn't in a nsfw channel? (I use discord.js)
verbal basalt
1.2
slender thistle
Yes that's valid syntax starting from discord.py 1.0
verbal basalt
Idk how to change it
slender thistle
@celest spear TextChannel should have nsfw property
verbal basalt
I'm using pydroid
west spoke
oh god
slender thistle
that is supposed to return a boolean value
west spoke
slender thistle
Ehhh... not familiar with pydroid personally, sorry
west spoke
honestly if shivaco wouldnt hurt me, I would reccomend async version. It works best in pydroid imo
Since rewrite styling is.... weird
slender thistle
rewrite is more OOP 
slender thistle
I swear Neko I'll try to host a bot with pydroid just to show you it's easy
someday
west spoke
viral spade
Tim and Iawa thanks for your responses. i will add a cronjob to sweep the cache for now.
slender thistle
I don't really want to poke holes in the ground with just my hands
I'm not familiar with pydroid but at least your code is alright
verbal basalt
Anyone know if a while loop would work in the code I showed before and where would be a good place to put it?
verbal basalt
Hm I'm trying to get it to run for longer so I thought while something is equal to something, it would run for longer
slender thistle
Ehhh
verbal basalt
Idk
slender thistle
Not sure that'd help
quartz kindle
it doesnt need a while loop because the problem is probably not code related
a discord library does not exit for no reason, it keeps listening to discord messages forever
your program is exiting for some reason, you have to find out what it is, it can be disconnections / network issues
check if your library has some sort of debug events that might inform you of whats going on
your process might also be killed by your system for some reason, too much memory/cpu usage, or any other weird reason
verbal basalt
Oh okay
hushed berry
memory leak doesnt actually sound all that unlikely
lunar crystal
How do I do to keep my bot online ?
quartz kindle
keep the program running
hushed berry
dont turn it off lol
amber fractal
Yeah
hushed berry
lmfao
amber fractal
Because you shut your pc off
You need a vps
And a process maanager
Or leave your pc on 24/7 and hog bandwidth
hushed berry
bots dont really use a lot of bandwidth lmao
quartz kindle
they do
especially with guild_subscriptions enabled
at some point my bot was using 400gb per month lmao
disabling guild subscriptions cuts its bandwidth usage by like 10-20x but you lose member join/leave events (hopefully discord fixes this)
amber fractal
I've received 5.8gb and transmitted 2.8gb
Idk how to check just bandwidth in linux 
quartz kindle
i used nethogs
amber fractal
Do I need to download that or is that just in linux
lunar crystal
I don't know really know what is an VPS, can you explain me
quartz kindle
vps means virtual private server
its like a computer that you rent somewhere
then you connect to it and control it through the internet
an entry level vps costs around 3-5 bucks a month
and it runs 24/7
quartz kindle
you can then install programs on it, upload files to it, etc
most of us use a vps to run our bots
google and amazon offer a free for 12 months deal
lunar crystal
Nice 😮
quartz kindle
so you could potentially have a vps completely free for 2 years, if you switch between them
but you need a credit card to create an account
there are also services such as glitch and heroku which have free plans, but they may have some limits and weird things
might be good for a start, but most developers dont recommend those
there are also many companies that have special offers for students
including free vps's

taking a while... is the anyway to do it with out hastebin?
hastebin isnt working from some reason...
narrow kettle
quartz kindle
@narrow kettle you are not doing any kind of checking
narrow kettle
i realised that, i have no idea how to check the prefix, i tried and the bot just didnt react
quartz kindle
you remove the prefix from the message, then continue the processing, but you never check if the message actually starts with a valid prefix
narrow kettle
how do i check if its the actual prefix?
quartz kindle
one way is to use javascript's string.startsWith() method
grizzled jackal
I use if(!message.content.startsWith(prefix) prefix being the variable that holds my prefix
quartz kindle
narrow kettle
can you show me where exactly do i need to put it
wide ruin
@short forge
narrow kettle
i dont know if i should put it in the args or switch or anytthing like that
grizzled jackal
Well think about it logically, where would you want it to check
short forge
does anyone here know how to move windows quick.db to linux quick.db
knotty steeple
what
narrow kettle
i guess before the switch
short forge
wait nvm
wide ruin
Fixed?
short forge
its not bot related
grizzled jackal
Try it and test, all part of the developer experience
wide ruin
It can still go here
short forge
lets ask on the official discord
wide ruin
It's still part of a bot
short forge
alright but i just read "Channel for chatting about (bot) development."
so does anyone here know how to move windows quick.db to linux quick.db
wide ruin
Bot is in brackets
knotty steeple
what does that mean
wide ruin
But yeah
quartz kindle
what do you mean with "move"?
wide ruin
Basically
quartz kindle
what backend are you using with quick.db?
wide ruin
We've been programming a bot for Windows and we're moving to raspberry pi
But the code has no errors on windows, and quickdb gives errors on raspi
quartz kindle
what backend/database are you using with quick.db?
knotty steeple
do you need to use paths
short forge
better-sqlite3 (if i understand you correctly)
knotty steeple
because paths are \ on windows but on linux its /
quartz kindle
then you can move the sqlite file
quartz kindle
then you just need to install everything correctly
short forge
well, the paths are fine
quartz kindle
and yes, change all your paths, although windows supports / as well
what error are you getting on quickdb?
short forge
"promisify" isnt a function
knotty steeple
maybe util isnt installed or node is outdated yes
short forge
let me check
its above ten
i know that
but for some reason an error reporter said it wasnt when node said it was
quartz kindle
check again
narrow kettle
nope... cant get it to work
short forge
ok so its 7.7.2 yet i tried to update it and it said it was done
quartz kindle
linux repositories do not update node that often
you have to install node from a proper source
instead of using apt
short forge
thats what i tried to do
short forge
i saw that, i did it, refreshed the terminal and nothing happened (i'll try again though)
hushed berry
nevermind
narrow kettle
@grizzled jackal it tells me there is no such thing as startwith
narrow kettle
let args = message.content.startWith(PREFIX).split(" ");
switch (args[0]) {
thats the only part that is relevant
slim heart
how can i get the icon url of a guild with no icon as in like the ones with the abbreviated guild names
earnest phoenix
there isn't one
the thing you see on your client is just css
you have to generate an image
slim heart
idek how to go about doing that
slender thistle
Is the font known for that
slim heart
is there a better way of just somehow signifying the guilds name in icon form for guilds without icons for my dashboard server select?
slim heart
idk css that well ooof
like i got this far
but the text just escapes the the circle
its an alt which is probably the issue
i can just make it a different element cuz ejs
quartz kindle
@narrow kettle its not startWith
did you read the link i sent you?
everything is explained there, learn how to read documentation, its an invaluable skill to have
narrow kettle
ik, im fixing it rn
narrow kettle
and it works
quartz kindle
so you cannot use .split on it
narrow kettle
yeah it told me that but the main problem was just a typo
i wrote startwith instead of startswith
grizzled jackal
@narrow kettle https://discordjs.guide I highly recommend you read this guide, I think it should be able to help you out a lot
narrow kettle
would probobly help me, im new to javascript and discord bots
slim heart
how can i fit the font to actually fit in the circle?
warm marsh
check the width of the text compared to the width of the circle?
quartz kindle
i dont think there is a way to measure text width in css
you'd need js for that
you can define font sizes in percentages, but thats it
earnest phoenix
you don't need to measure anything
wrap the text in a span element
you can then play around with the line-height property
quartz kindle
i understood he wanted to dynamically change font-size to keep it inside regardless of amount of characters
earnest phoenix
ah
that's bad UX design
you want to display as less text as possible to the user - so in this case just the relevant letters
earnest phoenix
slim heart
the other issue is keeping the circle an actual circle
earnest phoenix
huh
earnest phoenix
what's your css for the circle
slim heart
the behind one or the image one?
ill just send the whole thing here
body {
background-color: #2C2F33;
}
.guild {
float: left;
background-color: #23272A;
border-radius: 60px;
}
.guildPicture {
border-radius: 64px;
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
border: 1px black solid;
}
.guildText {
font-size: 1.5vw;
padding-left: 15%;
padding-top: 5%;
width: 100px;
height: 35px;
}```oh
quartz kindle
usually gives a circle 100% of the time
slim heart
getting this on my laptop now
quartz kindle
also are you sure you want font-size 1.5vw?
slim heart
its just to hold onto it for now until i start styling the text lol
idek what i would set that too some article i found said to use it
quartz kindle
the circle is like that because of the text padding
slim heart
removing it just moves the text
quartz kindle
you're giving the text a fixed 100px width plus 15% padding, that padding will be added to the fixed width, making the total width bigger than the 100px of the circle
slim heart
removing the padding does nothing but move the text out
and on laptop the same thing
quartz kindle
then you have some other shit going on lul
slim heart
i have this which affects the size of the circle
issue is when i try to use perfects it make literally no difference
earnest phoenix
check out the fiddle i posted above
quartz kindle
i would put the text inside a div with 50% size
quartz kindle
circle => width: 100px
divInCircle => width:50%, display block, text align center
textInDiv => overflow: hidden, text-overflow: ellipsis
something like that
slim heart
mmk ill see
quartz kindle
margin 0 auto, and some fiddling around
to center it
there are many ways of doing it
slim heart
im adding little tool tip things to pop out the name on hover and theres these lines idk what they are and how to get rid of them?
nvrm found out
earnest phoenix
I have a stupid question can you use more than one API with a discord bot
eternal mesa
@earnest phoenix what does that mean
earnest phoenix
like if i want to use discords API and then another API within the same bot
slender thistle
That's possible but you will have to use HTTP libraries
earnest phoenix
is it possible to use both of them at the same time?
sage bobcat
One message removed from a suspended account.

you can run as many things as you want in the same process

HTML is easy, CSS is the hardest part
quartz kindle
css is not that hard
technically js is harder than css, because js is an actual programming language, while css isnt
sudden geyser
css is your best friend when it comes to error handling
opaque eagle
what are we talking about exactly
that was react
also css is easier than html
all you need to know is the syntax... how css selectors work, etc, and maybe some functions like translate(), etc... rest of it is just looking up selectors and what they do in the docs
quartz kindle
no way html is harder than css, html is literally just tags inside tags
lament meteor
knotty steeple
css can be really ass
opaque eagle
If you think HTML is no more than just "tags inside tags", then CSS is also just "properties for selectors" @quartz kindle
earnest phoenix
what is css and html, I just use pen and paper
opaque eagle
Lmao
"HTML" also encompasses web standards like open graph protocol, SEO, and memorizing how each family of browsers and engines render different tags and which ones they support in the first place...
JavaScript is a lot more than just variables and if statements. Similarly, HTML is a lot more than just nesting tags.
CSS properties and flexbox and CSS grid are all really intuitive concepts that any serious person can pick up in roughly a day of solid learning.
autumn wind
idle basalt
css is definitely more complicated than html
everything that you just said about html applies to css twofold
you have to know even more properties and even more about browser support

If people wanted to donate money to your bot, what would be a good method to go about this, is it even possible, I'm assuming it is, or should it be more of an external thing, like on a website, you could click donate for example
loud salmon
@earnest phoenix I use https://ko-fi.com for one time payments / tips. Patreon is fine but the integrations with discord suck ass and they clip off a significant chunk of your earnings. For subscription, both groovy and mee6 use https://www.chargebee.com/. I haven't worked with them at all but nik is very helpful and I'm sure he is able to answer any questions you have.

How to do serialization? to make a backup system
quartz kindle
explain better
which language, library, database, backup of what, serialization of what?
earnest phoenix
javascript, json, backup servers system, serialization of servers datas so that after being able to restore them
quartz kindle
you want to backup the entire server?
most vps providers have backups
or you can just copy all your files somewhere, or setup something like google drive
earnest phoenix
Backup servers discords
quartz kindle
you're not making any sense
you mean guild configuration?
like prefixes and member settings?
store them in a database
like sqlite
quartz kindle
save it in a database
earnest phoenix
The goal is to be able to backup the servers and restore them
Yes
I know this lol
quartz kindle
you can use JSON.stringify with a filter
earnest phoenix
Yes, I was planning to use json
quartz kindle
or you can use one of the many json serializers on npm

make a table for backups, give it columns like "guildid","timestamp","data"

When i deposit for example 1000 it outputs me that
mossy vine
just add a background-image property with css to the div
near igloo
this
mossy vine
where did you find that
near igloo
earnest phoenix
Logic
mossy vine
okay.. right click the image, click copy link address, and use it as your background-image for the div
grim aspen
it needs a function on click
quartz kindle
@stray garnet make sure amount is a numbero
stray garnet
well uh i just throught that myself
mossy vine
bruh
stray garnet
Uh how can i check that again? @quartz kindle
near igloo
lose my brain cells
quartz kindle
@stray garnet Number(amount)
near igloo
i dea
slim heart
Please learn proper HTML
mossy vine
can an a tag have a background image? if yes, you can just use that instead of the div
near igloo
problem fixed
slim heart
And then do it
mossy vine
cool
near igloo
i can use this imag as hyperlink then it will go ti next page
lol IM SMART

So it shows me undefined, and i need to delete now data out of my Database, hoe can i do that
Cuz before i did that it was 0

You probably have to loop over all entries and update them all to 0
In sql its easy to do that, idk mongo

maybe its just the way I do it but don't you need a file[object] kind of thing first
or maybe im not understanding
but
i tried
earnest phoenix
oh true
stray garnet
Still @quartz kindle
quartz kindle
Then idk, log bank and money before and after adding A
earnest phoenix
basically im using a command handler, fs.readdir("./commands/", kind of thing, should that actually be placed inside the ready function, so they are all gotten on ready? Or should I keep that outside of other functions, again, discordjs
buoyant onyx
How do u create a premium Command after we click the emoji
How to make it another embed
@earnest phoenix
Or anyone can help me
earnest phoenix
don't @ me for that
mossy vine
@earnest phoenix it doesnt matter afaik
earnest phoenix
just because i'm an embed god I'm not gonna help smh
oh
thats good
@buoyant onyx I use https://ko-fi.com/ for one time payments / tips. Patreon is fine but the integrations with discord suck ass and they clip off a significant chunk of your earnings. For subscription, both groovy and mee6 use https://www.chargebee.com/. I haven't worked with them at all but nik is very helpful and I'm sure he is able to answer any questions you have. I asked a similar thing yesterday, spider sent this
buoyant onyx
But I saw some people they make like then add an emoji check mark for payment after that it automatic activate
The premium
buoyant onyx
How to do then
earnest phoenix
mossy vine
what do you want to do exactly
buoyant onyx
The premium funtion
For the premium user
And blocked some command for normal user
grizzled jackal
Thought they wanted a collector function
buoyant onyx
Wait I got some screenshots
How they make like this
This just some thai bot maker
They have there cpu
And memory usage
buoyant onyx
The link you send can refer right @mossy vine
mossy vine
wha
buoyant onyx
And then how they make database inside the visual private sefver

I want to make the level bot also
mossy vine
how long have you been making bots for?

ember atlas
Is there a specific reason maybe internally that my bot keeps restarting randomly for no reason.
I thought maybe there was something before I go yell at the other dev
earnest phoenix
are you using glitch/heroku/free hosting
mossy vine
yeah there could be hundreds if not thousands of things causing that
maybe there is a loop running that calls process.exit
ember atlas
Cry I’m using a shared virtual machine.
Just keeps going online and online for no reason
Process.exit is the restart command Cyber
earnest phoenix
is it just gateway disconnects?
earnest phoenix
Hi , is rainbow roles against TOS?
mossy vine
yes as its api abuse
earnest phoenix
What if it’s at 60s
grim aspen
it is still abuse
earnest phoenix
2min,
mossy vine
bruh
amber fractal
Bro you're too fast.
earnest phoenix
rainbow roles with a big delay aren't api abuse... or rainbow roles at that point
ember atlas
Ok, so I’ll have to wait. There’s logs I can’t see on my phone
Seems to be on server.
earnest phoenix
So I can do 1min
ember atlas
It says 10 on one and 9 on the other login.
Would that mean a server is having issues?
earnest phoenix
So am I allowed do 1Min ??
ember atlas
Ya now I’m hella confused
vernal willow
Are spaces in channel names allowed or is it considered api abuse? I've seen a few bots doing this and was wondering if it's even allowed
Edit: pretty sure it's just some unicode character
sweet creek
Is it possible to use a command to make all members in one group active in another?
vernal willow
Yeah you can lol
amber fractal
It's not a space then
vernal willow
So it's allowed?
amber fractal
I dont see why it wouldnt be
mossy vine
is it an actual space or just a dumbass unicode character that looks like a space?
amber fractal
But tbh not sure
vernal willow
Ok lol
amber fractal
All it does is make it hard for users to mention.
quartz kindle
Its a unicode character, you can do many cool things with it
(also abusive things)
earnest phoenix
http://jkorpela.fi/chars/spaces.html discord doesn't check for 90% of these
i mean, the client does, the api doesn't
amber fractal
Gotta be careful though, some phones (mine lol) render them as x boxes.
quartz kindle
The char im talking about is not in that list
earnest phoenix
are you referring to zalgo text
quartz kindle
Nop
earnest phoenix
huh ok then 🤷
the same effect can be accomplished with the chars in the list if your aim is to just have spaces in channel names
loud salmon
@earnest phoenix rainbow roles of any kind are frowned upon. the only one that I have seen a developer approve of is one color per day.

amber fractal
Exports is better than one file
narrow kettle
exports?
short forge
Apparently "node-fetch" isn't secure, and npm wont let me download (debian linux)
amber fractal
Most developers will have one file per command
short forge
"CERT_UNTRUSTED"
narrow kettle
wait what... you mean a whole file just for ONE command?
quartz kindle
which url?
amber fractal
Yes @narrow kettle
narrow kettle
why?
amber fractal
Most developers will use one file per command
narrow kettle
isnt it way too much work
narrow kettle
easier?
loud salmon
yep
quartz kindle
because commands are complex
amber fractal
It's organized
earnest phoenix
say you have a 100 line command, would you rly want to try and search for another one, it is all clustered at that point
loud salmon
commands can grow large, and having it per-file will organize it
short forge
just used npm i node-fetch, the url was registry.npmjs.org/node-fetch
quartz kindle
my commands have hundreds of lines
narrow kettle
so basicly just so it would be more orginized for you?
loud salmon
yep
amber fractal
You can reload commands as well, turn them off for a time while you work on them, etc.
short forge
and more efficient
loud salmon
oh yea, reloading and disabling is good
quartz kindle
@short forge wait the npm install itself is failing with unsecure? check your system date
short forge
3rd october 2019, time is right as well
narrow kettle
i mean... im used to having realy long comands on switch so it feels orginized for me not matter what... is there any benefit from doing it?
short forge
npm error: CERT_UNTRUSTED
narrow kettle
(i can disable commands with switch too)
quartz kindle
@short forge whats your node and npm versions?
narrow kettle
i guess so, but making a file for each command feels like it gonna take me days just to make the files... i will have over 60 commands...
probobly well over 100
amber fractal
And then you wont ever find them in a switch command
quartz kindle
i have less than 10, but some of my commands take multiple files
mossy vine
the template is 4-10 lines of code, depending on your templating
amber fractal
quartz kindle
@short forge wtf
short forge
1.3.2 for npm
quartz kindle
thats like prehistoric node
amber fractal
12.11.1 is node rn
quartz kindle
lmfao
amber fractal
Thats not even version 1
short forge
wow raspbian is broken then
narrow kettle
i can orginize the switch... i hope, the orginize thing does not matter to me too much at this point... but what are the benefits from making so many files?
short forge
i intalled 12 eailer with nvm and it said it was 12
quartz kindle
if your operating system is old, then its repository also contains old versions. and node is known to be outdated in most repositories anyway
short forge
os is latest in terms of updates
quartz kindle
you installed with nvm?
short forge
yep
quartz kindle
did you do nvm use 12.x.x?
short forge
yep
quartz kindle
if you dont know then you're not lol
narrow kettle
can any of you tell me the benefits that you get from making a file for each command(that swithc does not have)
quartz kindle
@short forge try restarting your pi
narrow kettle
waht do you mean easier to maintain?
amber fractal
It's typically just regarded as a good practice as well.
Single file bots are commonly looked down upon
short forge
file for each command
-proper structure
-easier to understand
-if one command breaks, usually the others wont
-faster and more efficient
-more organized
narrow kettle
when you say one command, do you mean lets say, !help (!help commands, !help donations, !help developers, !help bugs...on and on)
or literlly just one of them as !help commands or one of the other once
quartz kindle
faster and more efficient thats not necessarily true
amber fractal
Each file can export a help object
amber fractal
My commands have a run, aliases and help
quartz kindle
you can do it however you want
amber fractal
You can sort the help by category, single command, or nothing and it will just show all
It's all modular too
narrow kettle
i think i will go with a file for each catagory cuz i know i will have well over 100 commands and my bot would look fkd up if i do a file for each command?
short forge
command handlers are probably faster since it's not a check every message kinda thing (sort of)
quartz kindle
my handler doesnt have aliases, because i dont see a need for them
short forge
remember the sort of is important
quartz kindle
you cant not check every message lol, all handlers do that at some level
narrow kettle
even tho, i will still need to use switch for each catagory, it would just be like 10x smaller switch then the one i have now
warm marsh
Switch per cat?
amber fractal
You can have one folder per category, and one file per command in that folder
narrow kettle
switch per catagory
amber fractal
That's a good practice too
narrow kettle
cuz rn i have one switch for the whole bot
warm marsh
I know, You don't require to make a switch though.
quartz kindle
@narrow kettle what you're refering to as category is just the command itself right? like !command
we refer to that as command, and whatever comes after as arguments
!thisisacommand thisisanargument
we dont usually make separate files for arguments
narrow kettle
lets say the whole !help catagory(!help commands, !help developers, !help donations...) or !market(!market list, !market buy)....
quartz kindle
but depends on what the commands to anyway
narrow kettle
that what i mean as a catagory
warm marsh
Yeah, That doesn't require a switch though.
quartz kindle
thats what we refer to as "command"
narrow kettle
oh, i was thinking that you mean just ONE command, like !market list
quartz kindle
i would refer to that as "market command" with a "list" argument
narrow kettle
but its still fine if i use switch for each catagory right? (each diffrent command file)
narrow kettle
im new to java script so its not like i know too much about other commands
so i will probobly stick to that for now, thanks guys!
quartz kindle
my first bot was also a gigantic chaotic file, everything felt much better after i started splitting the code into smaller files
its something you do to feel good about it, and feel more organized, not to please anyone, and not for performance reasons
narrow kettle
i feel like even after spliting it all it would still be some how chaotic but meh, at least less chaotic then just one file
quartz kindle
its still a step forward, slowly you learn how to organize it more efficiently
narrow kettle
do any of you have guilds about how to make "items", "charcters" and such on discord.js
or a big project like this would realy be no good as first project?
quartz kindle
guilds?
narrow kettle
yeah, guildsm tutorials, what ever teach me how to do it
warm marsh
RPG esk games?
quartz kindle
also, there are better things to do than a switch statement
narrow kettle
kinda
like?
@warm marsh basicly is make a bot somewhere between @earnest phoenix and @earnest phoenix but with original content(that i thought of) and it would be based on anime
and ik it would be a big project so yeah... i gonna have a bad time
warm marsh
That would fairly easy, Just your imagination that would make it severely challenging.
As you can always ask for code sided help within this channel.
narrow kettle
i already thought about the whole bot and system, even tho i dont have any idea how to code most of it
like, market, monsters and warriors appering... exploring(to get items)
quartz kindle
one common example that most command handlers do looks like this ```js
client.on("message", message => {
// do basic checking like bots and prefixes
let cmd = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(" ")[0]; // example for extracting the command from the message content
if(commands.has(cmd)) { commands.get(cmd).run() }
});
then all your commands are organized into a big Map() object
and you dont need a switch to check each and every one of them
warm marsh
Map, Aren't collections better because of their extra methods.
quartz kindle
you just check if the map contains it, and then run its code/file
collections are maps, if you need the extra features, use them
if you dont, then stick with maps
i mean, it doesnt matter, but you're bloating your code with unneeded features
narrow kettle
mhm
quartz kindle
my first attempt at a command handler was way more rudimentary than that, it was basically an array of commands
commands = ["command1","command2","etc"];
client.on("message", message => {
if(commands.includes(cmd)) {
// run command
}
})```i basicly have only 3 of my most simple commands and it takes like 100 lines
warm marsh
Oh no.
twilit rapids
I mean, that works
quartz kindle
anything that takes lots of if/else or switch entries can be converted into some sort of looping
narrow kettle
but luckly, i got experince with c# and java so i know programming, just dont know to much about javascript
so i can use stuff like [] or switch or stuff like that
twilit rapids
I currently loop through every file inside my commands folder, if a "command" equals one of the one in that folder it runs that command
quartz kindle
of course, if/else/switch are faster than loops, but you probably dont need those extra nanoseconds, and you can potentially reduce your line count by thousands of lines
warm marsh
Are maps faster than loops?
quartz kindle
maps.has() (checking if a map contains an item) is a loop. it internally loops over all items looking for a match
same with array.includes()
narrow kettle
i do it cuz im more used to it and it feels comfortable
warm marsh
by chance you're used to it because of Java?
narrow kettle
that too, but even more from c#
quartz kindle
of course you can also go the traditional way js for(item in array) { if item matches, do stuff }
or even for(i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
warm marsh
Probably should break if matches.
quartz kindle
yeah
narrow kettle
in my case, i had no idea where to put a certain condition in the switch, so i just putted the condition in if
(the prefix condition)
quartz kindle
thats fine
warm marsh
Depending on the amount of commands you have that can get very hard to keep track of.
quartz kindle
what im talking about is trying to match a long list of things, in your case a long list of commands in a switch statement
narrow kettle
my bot do feel kinda slow tho... anyreason or its just my server? (half gv ram)
quartz kindle
you can safely devise a way to do that matching in a loop instead of a long switch
warm marsh
Your bot won't use half GB ram unless you're doing something mad.
quartz kindle
my bot uses 60mb on 1600 guilds lol
warm marsh
D.Js?
narrow kettle
oh boi, that means i will have ot buy a server at some point
quartz kindle
but because i made a heavily optimized lib for it

yes, it runs on d.js as a base
