Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

#

should i use a while(0) and a break instead ?

#

if (operator == 'q')
    break;

#

in other words, is there a prettier way to essentially do this

while(!done)
{
  check(done);

  if(!done)
    do_stuff();
  else
    do_other_stuff();
}

to avoid checking "!done" twice ?

How would i append a new value to a json variable in python?
eg:

Ive been trying, and i would get it like key:"["1","2"],"3"]

#

Like lets's say i wanted to add a authorization key to something. I already have a pre-set one, and i want to add a new one to it.

lament meteor Oct 24, 2019, 12:18 AM

data = json.load(jsonFile)

that should work?

though i tried append before and it was giving me a NoneType for the json variable

I need help, currently I am running a bot in node/discord.js and I am looking into setting up PayPal webhooks in the bot but this guide is helpful but confusing at the same time https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/quickstart/create-webhook/#

#

Any help is appreciated

peak bloom Oct 24, 2019, 4:05 AM

#

this looks rather straightforward, can you elaborate on where you're confused

#

to be clear, those docs explain the flow for using paypal's api module which you can probably just grab off npm to create an outgoing webhook, so paypal will send a request to the URL you provide, that means you'll need to set up an express server or some equivalent to receive that request

hoary elm Oct 24, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

so for example the url they have in example one what would that be changed with or does it remain the same

peak bloom Oct 24, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

you want it to go to your bot so you're gonna need an express server on the bot

hoary elm Oct 24, 2019, 4:06 AM

#

Okay

#

Thanks 😁

#

@peak bloom essentially what I want it to do is something like this where when someone donates/pays me through PayPal tho bot will post in a channel of my choice user has donated $123

📎 Screenshot_20191023_220747_com.discord.jpg

Discord webhooks accept data payload different from usual ones

hoary elm Oct 24, 2019, 4:09 AM

#

I'm not sure either

slender thistle Oct 24, 2019, 4:10 AM

you would need to host a webserver to handle that and send requests to Discord webhook yourself

earnest phoenix Oct 24, 2019, 2:02 PM

don't blame your incompetence on it being difficult

#

also on that website it still says vps is recommended lmao

#

hosting a bot is equivalent of downloading a program and running it

#

linux is more common in hosting

#

so a lot of people use linux distros for their bots

#

which doesn't even require you to have some knowledge with linux already, just common sense

cunning goblet Oct 24, 2019, 2:04 PM

i love how almost all bot tutorials encourage running a debug version of your bot in prod

#

don't blame your incompetence on it being difficult what kind of logic is that

a vps isnt that hard to set up

#

it is relative to other hosting solutions

consoles are more powerful and easier to make than an entire ui

think of it like painting

UIs are equal to secondary/tertiary colors while full access consoles are equal to primary colors.
you can mix primaries to get any other sublevel, but no matter what you do you cannot get primary colors from another iteration (secondary/tertiary)

from a resource perspective sure

github desktop is less powerful than git on the command line

making it more heavy

discord will you send my message

How to display API ping?
start a stopwatch/timer, send a message to discord, wait for it to get back to you, stop the stopwatch/timer and you have the ping

stopwatch/timer

why would you do that for ping

it's how you measure REST ping

when kids are taught to learn how to ride a bike aren't they usually given training wheels and guidance ?

those two are not comparable

Some people can't connect to discord

you can't break your bones from working in a console

You can

#

as another note, that argument is completely invalid as there are a ton of resources and documentation online which offer introduction to linux envs

aren't the majority of tutorials on discord bot hosting

focused around glitch, repl and heroku ?

how is that relevant to what i just said lmao

those places are also bad to host on, but its good for training

earnest phoenix Oct 24, 2019, 3:03 PM

zerp, exactly what you just said is because of influx tech illiterate people doing programming when they shouldn't

which in the end promotes very bad practice just for dumb people to have it their way

imo that's just gatekeeping

how isn't that just straight up gatekeeping

#

watch the video looool

#

why don't you sum it up for me instead

#

the fun in programming is getting to resolve logical problems your way, if you can't logically resolve problems quickly or just can't do logical thinking, it is not fit for you

#

same as medical practice isn't for everyone

#

i'm not asking you to read any articles or watch videos that supports my stance

#

i told you to watch the video because it explains the point i'm trying to get across without typing out a novel

if you're not letting people learn, no one is fit for anything

blissful scaffold Oct 24, 2019, 3:07 PM

they do

earnest phoenix Oct 24, 2019, 3:09 PM

you keep ignoring the fact that it's just not fit for everyone

#

and when kids learn to bike they sometimes need training wheels to make the process easier

#

same like singing, someone might want to be a singer and a performer but simply can't be such because of sheer sound of their voice

mossy vine Oct 24, 2019, 3:10 PM

yeah but singing can be taught just like logical thinking to a certain degree. you wont be an expert, but wont be the worst either

earnest phoenix Oct 24, 2019, 3:10 PM

You dont become a good programmer from using drag and drop programming languages,

where did i mention you have to sound like whitney houston to be a good singer, that's not a point anyone here said

mossy vine Oct 24, 2019, 3:12 PM

i feel like most beginners jump into programming with the wrong mindset

earnest phoenix Oct 24, 2019, 3:12 PM

drag and drop programming is a tool to introduce ppl to programming same as the game Operation might ignite a spark in kids to be interested in medicine

blissful scaffold Oct 24, 2019, 3:13 PM

certain people simply won't be able to see a problem and come up with a solution on the spot and write it

cough, dbm

doesn't mean they should quit pursuing programming, as cyber said logical thinking can be taught along many other skills

and before running a bot, learn how to use a server. If you already fail on reading a simple mail, running a server is NOT something you should do. Servers are highly complicated structures and if you misconfigure it, it can be used to do illegal things and since it is your server you can be blamed for what it does and that can lead to hefty fines.

log the time when your bot starts and calculate the uptime from that

save the epoch second that the bot starts up in a variable, and when you need uptime just compare the current epoch second to that saved epoch second

It's all gyp related from what I can tell

quartz kindle Oct 24, 2019, 9:14 PM

you said you were running on a vulture vps?

#

why is there a ton of heroku written all over the place?

past flower Oct 24, 2019, 9:15 PM

#

Yeah my bad this bot is Heroku hosted not Vulture

#

Got it confused with another bot I'm working on 🤦‍♀️

quartz kindle Oct 24, 2019, 9:16 PM

#

so basically, heroku uses an automated build system thingy, and its failing to build several of your dependencies

#

you have a shit ton of dependencies, are you sure you need all of them? you should probably clean them up and remove anything that you're not using.

#

aside from that, some of those dependencies might not be compatible with node 12

#

so try setting your engines to node 11 or node 10

#

you also dont need node-gyp installed locally, since npm uses its own version

past flower Oct 24, 2019, 9:17 PM

#

Alright I'll run through and clean them up and play with the version..

#

And oh I didn't know that 🤦‍♀️

#

@quartz kindle removing gyp and changing node version to 10 fixed it

#

Thank you 😁

#

Do you possibly know any good Databases?

#

That's the only real reason this bot is Heroku right now cause I'm looking for a db for him before I change it over to my vps

why would json be better?

blissful scaffold Oct 24, 2019, 9:28 PM

if you create a record for every user and you want the bot in this server then probably dont use json

quartz kindle Oct 24, 2019, 9:28 PM

100k rows in a single json file would make it quite big, and if anything goes wrong you lose all of it

100k rows in separate json files will ruin your disk

Discord.js : how to delete image attachments as they are sent in a specific channel, but log the image attachment link?

this is my code that isn't working:

if(message.channel.name === "picTesting") {
    if(message.attachments.size > 0) {
      if(message.attachments.every(attachIsImage)) {

        let Attachments = (message.attachments).array()
        Attachments.forEach(function(attachment) {
          console.log(attachment)
          attachment.delete();
        });
      }
    }
  }

#

it wont allow me to send attachments (doesn't pull up the upload page), and i cant figure out how to get the upload link if i do

#

wait. i think i got it

amber fractal Oct 25, 2019, 1:05 AM

#

Once you delete the message, the attachment link is deleted too

#

So logging the link after deletingthe message is pointless

#

It would only still exist because of cache after seletion, but not long

#

In case you have that cached for some reason.

tacit stag Oct 25, 2019, 1:11 AM

#

so i figured out how to log it, but using attachment.delete() is resulting in an error

#

my console says:```UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: attachment.delete is not a function

#

nvm i got iut

#

had to use message.delete()

#

and i still got the url

#

oh ur right

#

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/634941454128513035/637097118154096650/buzz.png

#

it doesnt load

#

@amber fractal So here is what I am trying to do: I have a currency system set up, and when someone sends an image (particularly a meme) in a server, it will delete it and save the url. Then, the message user will get a dm with a unique generated id for the image, and can use a command to sell the meme to another person (+more which isnt relevant).

The thing i need to get is an image url for the sent image, but also delete the image in chat

#

Is there any way to do this?

like, one solution i see to my problem isnt good at all: writing the image using fs to my system

#

after a while, this is a lot of data

tranquil drum Oct 25, 2019, 1:42 AM

#

you don't need to write the image to your fs

#

you can just keep the image url in memory or in a database if you need it to persist between restarts

after deleting the image, the url is unavailable, so im looking into databases

prefixes.forEach() is a little slower, but not by much

#

the regexes tho, are abysmally slow

roughly 3-4x slower

I need someone with Administrator permissions on this server to disable some announcement stuff on my bot so it's not pinging everyone when it updates

just eval and disable it?

My bot has a config command and I didn't think to allow myself to use it anywhere

which is how users distinct presence between custom status

#

custom status

#

custom

you can customize it

if you remove that line, new users will not know if that's a title that's promoted by discord etc.
