what's bot.js for
pale vessel
hey
pale vessel
why does he have 2 files
digital ibex
what
late hill
likely because he wants to switch things up
digital ibex
where has it been copied
late hill
and keep the old version
pale vessel
i thought he was sharding
late hill
not the issue right now
copper cradle
there's no way you wrote all of that and you don't know how it works
like
really
pale vessel
maybe he just forgot
copper cradle
yeah
late hill
which is kind of an issue
your commands won't work yet even if you fix the login
You just have a command class that's never used atm
digital ibex
oh
copper cradle
and those files have nothing to do with each other
like
what's the point of having those
if they don't interact with each other
digital ibex
ik
digital ibex
index.js and bot.js are nothing to do with each other
digital ibex
yes

I use it yes
on my main bot project
I got permission from glitch
to make my bot 24/7

they removed that feature coz
it was getting laggy
u can still see the feature on ur project
but u cant turn it on

at what point in a bot's growth is a sqlite database not recommended anymore
lyric mountain
never
grizzled raven
ok
lyric mountain
HOWEVER
grizzled raven
lyric mountain
if you rely a lot on db-side operations then you might want to use a more complete db
I use mysql as main db and sqlite as cache db
grizzled raven
hm
earnest phoenix
mysql yuck
lyric mountain
but if you're using only common datatypes (text, numbers, dates, etc) then you can stay with sqlite as long as you want, it's fast af
@earnest phoenix 
grizzled raven
😳
earnest phoenix
because mysql is developed by oracle

How does one catch this exception in python?
earnest phoenix
and oracle is well... oracle, they're idiots

@earnest phoenix mysql has no fault that oracle's being a dick, it's a quite good db

earnest phoenix
it's outdated and slow
lyric mountain
slow?

outdated??
median ridge
Well, I wanted to tell the user that it was not valid.
earnest phoenix
a number of benchmarks show mysql being outperformed by postgres
postgres is also opensource
lyric mountain
could you show me your source?
earnest phoenix
what
modest maple
you can litterally look it up
lyric mountain
btw, #memes-and-media
modest maple
its pretty well regarded that Mysql is lesser than Postgres
earnest phoenix
it's development related, it doesn't need to be in off topic
modest maple
^
earnest phoenix
anyways, almost every stress test between mysql and postgres shows that postgres outperforms by a mile
lyric mountain
modest maple
it is related
earnest phoenix
indeed it is
earnest phoenix
????????????
the bot is in parentheses for a reason
this is on topic for development 
modest maple
its pretty much better in every way tbh
earnest phoenix
^
i've tried both
my experience with postgres vs mysql is like heaven vs hell
lmao
lyric mountain
I'll have to try it myself, every case is a case
earnest phoenix
you'll often see postgres being used in newer indie games
because of the sheer fact it outperforms mysql in big datasets
modest maple
i either use Postgres or Datomic
dark swift
how do I hide my api key from github?
zenith terrace
Or just edit it I guess
earnest phoenix
Could forget to take it out when making a new commit though
So tbf you could but you probably shouldn't

Btw what do you use to code?

hmmmm

considering you don't know what debugging is I think someone needs a lil bit of learning 
solemn quartz
did you do const Discord = require('discord.js') [probably you did]
golden condor
Yes
crimson vapor
I agree
solemn quartz
wat?
golden condor
What do you wanna see?
crimson vapor
Although you can learn from videos, I think it is best to understand what you want to do, then problem solve, which means going through the js docs and d.js docs
golden condor
What you wanna see?
solemn quartz
I think you need to ask to another person because i dont use Glitch
go on https://anidiots.guide/
i dont know on what channel
just look here
earnest phoenix
i hope you're aware that both glitch and heroku aren't powerful enough to run a music bot
solemn quartz
golden condor
Well @earnest phoenix I think you are wrong on that one
earnest phoenix
i'm really not
solemn quartz
but it doesnt work :p
earnest phoenix
probably because your bot is unpopular lol
golden condor
This is the one error Ive had
earnest phoenix
try having more than 10 concurrent guilds and your bot is going to crash
solemn quartz
lol
earnest phoenix
For a private bot Glitch will work fine, but if you intend to make the bot public, good luck keeping it running
That thing gonna die 
i like how people here flex with public bots hosted on glitch & heroku when having 20 guilds and a single command usage per day
golden condor
earnest phoenix
now let 10 guilds stream music and your bot is going to crash
crimson vapor
you did the users wrong
solemn quartz
i suggest Visual Studio Code
everyone does
earnest phoenix
👍
How many people actually use the bot
just because it's in 176 servers doesn't mean people are playing music or anything
solemn quartz
lul
earnest phoenix
But the second people are like, aww cool lets listen to some music
that's exactly why i said concurrent lol
Sometimes you gotta use easy words for the wee ones

of Tim, could you explain how an api for a bot would work? or point me in a direction that I could learn about it? if not all good
quartz kindle
what kind of api?
crimson vapor
Im not sure, but people say that they have api's created for their bot
at least, I think thats what they say
grizzled raven
they
quartz kindle
well, an api is a server you run that gives you data
modest maple
like a REST based api i imagine
grizzled raven
wait nvm i suck at everything
quartz kindle
actually the word api can be applied to many things, not necessarily online
modest maple
yh ik
I used / still do use Websocket servers for the old backend until i switch to a REST api
quartz kindle
i have a rest api as well, reworking my bot to actually use it
crimson vapor
so how do rest api's work for a discord bot?
modest maple
pretty much like any normal api
quartz kindle
the same way any other rest api
modest maple
run a webserver
using bot
send Get / post requests to api
get response from webserver
crimson vapor
im sorry, I dont know about rest api's
quartz kindle
i mean
first you need to know what you want to do
in my case, what i wanted to do
is have my bot's functions and calculations be usable in other projects
forest junco
Anyone got a javascript .js for anti spam?
modest maple
we are not giving u code
quartz kindle
so i put on those functions in a webserver, behind urls such as mywebsite.com/calculate
and instead of having those functions inside my bot's code
earnest phoenix
@forest junco try GitHub
quartz kindle
my bot just does a request to mywebsite.com/calculate
with parameters
and receives a response
modest maple
in terms of scaleability aswell
crimson vapor
so you gain the ability to use your bot's code with other applications such as a website?
modest maple
if you run a webserver and have a decent chunk of the databases behind that it is very very easy to make a webdashboard with it aswell
crimson vapor
how exactly do the api's work? http requests?
modest maple
yup
quartz kindle
lets say your bot has an image command, that randomly sends an image, and lets say you have 500 images stored in a folder in your bot's files
instead of having your bot open the images folder, chose a random image, and send
you make another project, make a webserver, and put a function on an endpoint
such as if you access yourwebsite.com/image your webserver will do what your bot did before, open the folder, pick a random image, and send it back to you
then instead of manking your bot do that, your bot just opens that link
and you can use that link in other projects
and you only need to maintain 1 folder of images
crimson vapor
this makes sense
quartz kindle
instead of having a folder for all projects that you want to do that with
crimson vapor
and seems kind of efficient, but at the cost of delay?
quartz kindle
yup
modest maple
not really
crimson vapor
but minimal
modest maple
yh
depends on how youre hosting it etc..
like a local host based set of Rest endpoints keeps the latency down in the 1-10ms usually
crimson vapor
and you would host this api on a web server? using node or what?
quartz kindle
if the webserver is on the same machine as your other projects, it will be < 10ms
modest maple
alot of languages support webservers
quartz kindle
node is one option yes
crimson vapor
what do you guys use?
tight heath
an image dedi
quartz kindle
i use node behind an nginx reverse proxy
modest maple
i use python and django because its what im most competent with and then microthreading
tight heath
same as tim but in golang
crimson vapor
"nginx reverse proxy" - meaning?
modest maple
yeetus that ipus
quartz kindle
nginx is a traditional webserver, like apache
it receives connections, resolves domain names, and points them to files on your computer
node.js is a fairly new webserver, so there is a lot of things that it is not very good at yet
like SSL for example
modest maple
if you were going to make your API external with a domain you would use some sort of apche based system normally
quartz kindle
so using nginx as a traditional server is more efficient than directly exposing node to the web
modest maple
but alot of languages and frameworks etc.... all have support for apache deployment
quartz kindle
so my nginx receives connections, and internally redirects them to my node server
faint hare
Is node good for backend/api ?
quartz kindle
its as good as any other webserver
crimson vapor
I assume that protects your code or the process?
earnest phoenix
a reverse proxy helps you handle stress on your internal webserver
quartz kindle
it protects, and also makes some things like SSL more efficient
a reverse proxy can also act as a load balancer
for example you can run multiple node servers doing exactly the same thing
and have nginx distribute connections to them
crimson vapor
node can only use one core, right?
quartz kindle
usually yes
modest maple
there is probably the ability to thread and multi processes
quartz kindle
unless you use workers and child processes
modest maple
^^
My webserver splits every request into a threadlet (micro thread) which allows it to scale upto how ever many logical cores you have x 600
earnest phoenix
👀
crimson vapor
I would like to learn about this by trying it
modest maple
xD
quartz kindle
im gonna make a version 2 and completely redesign it
also need to move servers, its currently hosted on google gce
which has horrible disk speeds
modest maple
just host mine on one of my local host machines with an NVME drive
altho is it worth the NVME drive, meh
quartz kindle
yeah nvme is a must for my api
modest maple
better than the big SSD which has like 50MB read and writes
quartz kindle
i uses a lot of i/o
crimson vapor
api's need the speed?
modest maple
depends
modest maple
REST based APIs tend to want to be moderately quick
if you are making your bot rely of the api in terms of storing data etc..
then it is a must
crimson vapor
Where do I learn more about api's?
quartz kindle
a public rest api needs to be very fast, as they can potentially have hundreds of people using them per second (unlikely but still)
also needs to have rate limits
modest maple
in theory mine can potentially cope with 14,000 requests a second
however
the ram will of eaten shit by then
modest maple
Datomic DB eats ram and cores for breakfast
quartz kindle
mine uses 30 year-old C code that loads data from files on disk
modest maple
OOF
quartz kindle
10gb worth of files
modest maple
even the people who use glitch felt that
quartz kindle
xD
modest maple
also @crimson vapor https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/01/understanding-using-rest-api/ Usefull link
quartz kindle
nonetheless its actually still very efficient
but ssd makes a huge diff
i tested a function that scans 21k files and compiles data from them
on google it would take 2min on average
on galaxygate takes around 7 seconds

How would I make a warnings command?

Save a list of warned users with a database. When a mod runs the command (you decide what's classified as a mod), check the args and find the user they wanted to "warn". Do your magic in the background by adding it to the db and there you go.

you can use node-fetch, which is a package that simulates fetch
and makes it work the same as in browsers

When I try to shard using 3 shards, my bot runs my command twice. Does anyone know what might be the issue? I'm using discordjs
Is it because I'm using more shards than I need to?
grizzled raven
multiple events maybe
check that first
eval client._events and see if message (and others) comes up as an array or an async function
copper cradle
if it comes as an array you're getting duplicate events
if it comes as an async function then you should be fine
wide ridge
I get this:
message: [AsyncFunction]
I have a function in my bot.js that runs commands,
client.on('message', async msg => {
...
commandfile.run(client, msg, args);
}
quartz kindle
did you fully restart your bot when you changed your sharding?
restarted all processes and all shards?
floral bloom
Is there an issue with the API or something? It's almost like there are two instances of my bot in one server. Almost every command I run it does the action twice.
I checked the code and found nothing.
wide ridge
did you fully restart your bot when you changed your sharding?
@quartz kindle I'm trying to set up sharding for my bot rn, and yeah I fully restarted it
amber fractal
did you run the file in another terminal?
you can run any amount of instances of the same bot
wide ridge
my issue is mostly that when I try sharding it sends multiple messages when it should only send 1
😭
floral bloom
Almost every command I use (ping, eval, update) it sends the success message twice and does the action twice as well.
grizzled raven
huh
cerulean pebble
hmm how to deloy dbl.js on heroku i try this way but i think it never work 😦
*deloy module
floral bloom
Hm, what code? I'm not sure what part is causing it and I have a few hundred lines of code.
quartz kindle
all of it
floral bloom
Hm, I can't post it all here. Especially with multiple files.
Also, here is an example of what it's doing (the last two messages are from the eval command. They are an array of the bot latency from previous ping commands).
It doesn't do it for every command though.
quartz kindle
then show the eval command
wide ridge
@quartz kindle anything seem off about the way I run commands?
floral bloom
It does duplicate actions for (so far) the ping, help, eval, update, and info command.
quartz kindle
@wide ridgeyeah i dont see anything wrong there
wide ridge
o.O
floral bloom
Huh...
quartz kindle
anyway, not much i can help with without seeing code
the problem could be anywhere
floral bloom
I have a similar command handler as Gopi and we seem to both be having the problem of the bot sending multiple messages (correct me if I'm wrong).
let commandFile = require(`./commands/${command}.js`);
commandFile.run(bot, message, args);
hmm how to deloy dbl.js on heroku i try this way but i think it never work 😦

you mean ?
i can't
heroku not have module DBL so when i upload code i must delete 2 lines that in picture
cerulean pebble
yup

hmmm
ocean frigate
I just opened this channel and saw the message
cerulean pebble
i mean the heroku not have module dbl.js
copper cradle
lol
cerulean pebble
so that's error
ocean frigate
Did not scroll up
copper cradle
send the error log
cerulean pebble
@copper cradle =))) i use the config var but i think it not work
copper cradle
did u run npm i dblapi.js
cerulean pebble
no how to run it in heroku
copper cradle
go to your bot's folder (on your machine) and in the console run npm i dblapi.js
then deploy your entire bot again
that's it
copper cradle
deploy it again
send the error log that you're getting from heroku's built in console

I have a djs bot...
This is one of my onEvent statements
client.on(`channelCreate`, channel => {
let myGuild = client.guilds.get(`${config.myGuild}`);
if (channel.guild.id === myGuild.id) {
let totalChannelCount = `${myGuild.channels.size}`;
let totalChannels = myGuild.channels.get(`${config.channelCount}`);
totalChannels.setName(`Channel Count: ` + totalChannelCount)
.catch(error => sendLog(error));
}
});
I get this error -> TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' of undefined in the if statement when i run a command
It only happens when i run the invite command of my bot
if (command === `invite`) { // Sends invite link for Client
const inviteEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setColor(`${config.embed_color}`)
.setTitle(`${config.client_name}'s invite links`)
.addField(`Here is ${config.client_name}'s invite link with administrator permissions`, `${config.invite_link}`, true)
.addField(`Here is ${config.client_name}'s invite link without administrator permissions`, `${config.noAdmin_invite}`, true)
.setFooter(`Provided by: ${config.client_name}`);
message.author.send(inviteEmbed);
return;
}
^ the invite command doesn't even relate to the channelCreate
and the id error happens with the channel.guild.id
summer torrent
channel.guild is undefined
visual sandal
ofc.. i am not creating a new channel in my server
I am sending a command to send invite links of my bot
but it is triggering the channelCreate, and there is no new channel so it is undefined
copper cradle
@visual sandal console.log channel and see what you're getting
visual sandal
kk
prints nothing
cause it is undefined
works when creating a channel cause.. well.. a channel exists
but it shouldn't run for the invite command
copper cradle
wait
dude
like
you never defined channel
did you actually expect channel to be a global var?
channel is inside the function you're calling when the event channelCreate fires
and it's only available inside of that scope
JavaScript has two scopes – global and local. Any variable declared outside of a function belongs to the global scope, and is therefore accessible from anywhere in your code. Each function has its own scope, and any variable declared within that function is only accessible from that function and any nested functions
@visual sandal
you got to be kidding

@cerulean pebble this should do. (I'd suggest running it on a local environment and then deploying it)
npm i <module>
npm i dblapi.js
dusky marsh
heroku just needs your package json and it installs all node packages for you
cerulean pebble
@lilac wharf how to make it on heroku
hoary elm
@cerulean pebble as Canarado said Heroku uses your Package.JSON to install modules for you, easiest way to get it to install the module is add it to the package manually 
or run the npm i dblapi.js command outside of Heroku Via your Terminal, Shell, Cmd Prompt or w.e you use and then re-deploy

Hello. I have an error.
This is the code where I get it.
```connection.query(SELECT * FROM account WHERE id = '${message.author.id}', function (err, rows) { //selecting user id
if (err) throw err;
if(rows.length < 1) { //if the user has no info in table | no id it inserts ID - XP - LEVEL
sql = `INSERT INTO account (id, xp, level) VALUES ('${message.author.id}', '${generateXp()}', ${lvl})`
} else {
let xp = rows[0].xp; //xp = the amount xp in database
sql = `UPDATE account SET xp = ${xp + generateXp()} WHERE id = '${message.author.id}'`; //update xp
let nxtLvl = rows[0].level * levelup; //how many +1 level per xp points
if(nxtLvl <= rows[0].xp){ //If level supass that amount it
connection.query(`UPDATE account SET level = ${rows[0].level + 1} WHERE id = '${message.author.id}'`) //updates level
}
//levelup message
if(nxtLvl <= rows[0].xp){
const lvlup = new RichEmbed()
.setDescription(`Hello, ${message.author.username} you leveled up to ${rows[0].level + 1}`)
.setColor(tutu)
message.channel.send(lvlup)
}
}
connection.query(sql)
})```
this is the error.

ReferenceError: Cannot access 'config' before initialization
run_main_module.js:17:47 | index.js:44:43
restive furnace
initialize config, like var config = "a", thats basic js, so if you fall into this type of errors and can't fix them, go learn basic js.
astral yoke
would it work though if I put var config = "a"?
hoary elm
Of course it would but you can't try and use it in a variable or a arg prior to initializing it
Example
message.channel.send(config.helpMsg)
var config = require ('./config')
``` is wrong the variable should be intialized before being calledyeah cause higher i have
const config = require ("../../main-db.json");
I'm just gonna scrap the idea.
And get a new idea on what to do.
prime cliff
Or learn how to debug 
and read error messages
Also when it says run_main_module.js:17:47 | index.js:44:43
It means the error is coming from that file on line 17 or 47 not sure what js formats it
marble juniper
all variables should if possible be at the beginning of the code or at the beginning of code brackets
prime cliff
Wasn't sure of the 47 column his code must be pretty messy
marble juniper
bet
and I bet that he used copy paste because who would ever make a mistake like that
but im not trying to judge
astral yoke
yeah okay buddys

Quick question about discord bots
Is it possible to make bots be able to interact with each other?
I set up a timer on a bot called mee6 to repeat a phrase every 12 hrs (which if a human said, would trigger another bot to complete an action) but the other bot doesn’t seem to see the timed message
You mean like bot respond to another bot?
Yes. Kinda
Is it possible
Hmm...
Have you used the
if (message.author.bot) return; code in your bot?
If you did... It won't respond to any bot
I haven’t, didn’t even know that existed
Hmm
For example what did you wanted your bot to say when mee6 responded?
@earnest phoenix
It’s a game stats server, so mee6 says $clanwar and another bot called deck shop responds with stats about a current war.
For example if you haven't used the code above and typed a code for example:
return message.channel.send("moment");
}```
And if a bot said bruh it would respond with momentIt responds back with the exact same thing
@earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
The wot
@earnest phoenix wait are you trying to code inside the message respond method of mee6
?
[Visible CONFUSION]
@earnest phoenix have you made a bot?
Not exactly trying to code. I just want mee6 to be able to loop the charade $clanwar and have the other bot respond
@earnest phoenix have you made a bot?
No, Not really
prime cliff
- Mee6 can only do that like every 3 hours with an auto timer
- Most bots don't respond to other bots
- Mee6 does not load or run code you give it
earnest phoenix
Hmm... You want like for mee6 to say something and other bot respond to mee6?
Hmm... You want like for mee6 to say something and other bot respond to mee6?
@earnest phoenix yes
But which bot you want it to respond to mee6?
It’s called Deck Shop, it’s a Clash Royale game tracker
Hmm... I think it can't because the bot that you're talking about might have the
if (message.author.bot) return;
Code inside of it... So... It cannot respond to the mee6 or mee6 can't respond to it if it has that
I see, is there any others that may work? I also have yagpdb but I decided not to do that because it was way too complicated (at least for me)
I mean like none of them will work because some bots are aware of other bots telling them what to do just like the bot you're trying to rig or do something with it(Deck shop or whatever)...
Just with one single line of code sooo...
Rip
Oh, ok
Thanks @earnest phoenix really appreciate the help
Np
marble juniper
no bot will work
marble juniper
it just sends your code as a string
doesn't eval it
because that would be a security break and no bot would eval your message anyways
earnest phoenix
Some bots can respond to other bots if they doesn't have the code above...(scroll up)
marble juniper
if (message.author.bot) return
marble juniper
imagine this
both bots have the same prefix
for example !!
and when a user uses !!help
the other bot responds
then the other bot responds
then the other
it would be an infinite loop
earnest phoenix
Discord would even might break because of that Infinite loop
But would take a very long time
marble juniper
once this server didn't had bot with common prefixes unmuted
only one person was enough to make this server die
now imagine those bots would all respond to each other
which are probably more than a thousand
earnest phoenix
Yup... Every of one your actions have an unexpected consequential danger in it
One mistake can take down all
marble juniper
another reason would be you have something like economy
and a second bot just to farm for you
earnest phoenix
Unexpected just like a code not initializing and giving an error
Yup
That would be like unfair to every player of a currency including bot...
For example Dank memer...
Farm and farm and you rich if that would have happened
marble juniper
k
tight plinth
Wat happens here
marble juniper
anyways im off
tight plinth
Currency, I see
marble juniper
@tight plinth development being active
earnest phoenix
Nothing just code talking and stuff
marble juniper
an illegal activity
tight plinth
No
earnest phoenix
API breaking limit activity
earnest phoenix
The wot
earnest phoenix
Yes and no smh
marble juniper
im gonna go watch netflix bye
earnest phoenix
That's just the most unexpected thing i've seen in my life...
I wasn't expecting that tho
My life is complete... I can GAME END NOW
earnest phoenix
I mean he tried to execute codes from inside of a bot message method
earnest phoenix
Yup
tight plinth
The bot literally sends the lines of code without executing them
And mee6 isn't coded in us or whatever
earnest phoenix
A bot mounted on a pile of code, running on a code, would execute a code through a message method code? Lmao
tight plinth
It's coded in mee6
earnest phoenix
I wasn’t trying to code in mee6, just send a command (not code) though it for another bot to respond
Oh lmao i see...
You though it was going to work but nah... Good job tho giving it a shot even though it wasn't going to work
earnest phoenix
Well that’s debatable
They're just like brains but with no functions if it has no codes...
You command with codes... The bot follow it
@tight plinth and bots can be stupid if they aren't given correct codes or not even given codes to them...
Hmm
earnest phoenix
Hmm you code on PC or mobile?
earnest phoenix
I do it on mobile but what kind of program are you using?
Termux?
tight plinth
Termius
tight plinth
And then re-upload
earnest phoenix
Welp... That seems to be obvious to do that lol
tight plinth
U hit back, u'll be back on terminus with this prompt
prime cliff
Are you oh my god what an elite master
tight plinth
And u click upload back to derver
