development

[white anvil]

it automatically converts them to unicode on send

[cinder patio]

Discord probably replaces them with the raw unicode before it counts the characters

[white anvil]

so you can still have the same amount

[brave blade]

no it doesn't

[earnest phoenix]

internally all :emoji: get parsed to unicode, replacing all colon format emojis to their unicode counterparts

[brave blade]

I tried it

[white anvil]

it does

[pale vessel]

oh fuck i found it #development message

[white anvil]

but the emote limit is lower

than char limit

[brave blade]

well I don't know how they do it internally

[pale vessel]

@copper cradle

[copper cradle]

had to be spanish

smh

[brave blade]

but fact is, they rejected my bot messages when its character count was over 2000, with shortcodes

whatever

thanks

[copper cradle]

those dudes make the rest of the Spanish dev community get bad looks

[reef girder]

If you write a bot to throw on more than one server do you actually host all instances of that bot?

Or when people add it to their server you as the author host it yourself?

[pale vessel]

the first

[reef girder]

So I need to maintain state between servers?

Like if they set a setting

[earnest phoenix]

like server-specific setting? maybe like a prefix
@reef girder

[copper cradle]

you only need 1 instance of the bot

[reef girder]

yeah

Like a prefix or a response message

[copper cradle]

then you can use a database to store such data

[earnest phoenix]

so you use a database to store that

[wicked pivot]

const fs = require('fs')
const hour = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync("./hour.json", "utf8"))
function write(){
  fs.writeFile("./hour.json", JSON.stringify(hour), (err) => {
      if (err) console.log(err)
  })
}
if(!hour[moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY")]){
    hour[moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY")] = {
      users : 0,
      bots: 0
    }
  }
  write()
  if(message.author.bot){
    let add = 1
    let Current = hour[moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY")].bots
    hour[moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY")].bots = Current + add
    write()
    return
  }
  let add = 1
  let Current = hour[moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY")].users
  hour[moment().format("DD/MM/YYYY")].users = Current + add
  write()```it does not write in the json

[copper cradle]

it's like asking if a new account gets create everytime I join a server

[reef girder]

and then use the guild ID to just grab wahtever info?

sighhh okay

[copper cradle]

bc it uses the old hour

the one that's at the top

[earnest phoenix]

I use keyv and a mongodb

[copper cradle]

add hour as a parameter and pass it to the function

[earnest phoenix]

keyv is really simple and to the point

[reef girder]

ill check it out thanks

🙂

[earnest phoenix]

what things should i consider when storing user input in a json file? is there a parse function to escape stuff like quotes etc?

[cinder patio]

you shouldn't do that

[reef girder]

If you want to do it you can though!

checkout decodeuricomponent

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/decodeURIComponent

oh wait maybe thats the wrong thing sec

oh no thats right

but JSON.parse will get you most of the way there

[tardy estuary]

yeah json parse

[earnest phoenix]

so i am trying to do it if the guildid has 1 in the blacklist row they cant do any commands what have i done wrong

client.on('message', async msg => {
  if (msg.channel.type !== 'text' || !msg.content.startsWith(settings.prefix)) return;
  console.log(`[${msg.guild.name}] ${msg.author.tag} >> ${msg.content}`);
  const cmd = msg.content.toLowerCase().slice(settings.prefix.length).split(' ')[0];
  if (!commands[cmd]) return;
  con.query(`SELECT * FROM testing WHERE guildid = ${msg.guild.id}`, (err, result) => {
      if (err) return console.log(err);
      if (result[0] && result[0].blacklist == 1 || cmd !== 'help') {
          return msg.channel.send('This server is blacklisted so cannot use this command.');
      }
      else {
          commands[cmd](msg);
      }
  });
});```

[reef girder]

are you getting an error?

[earnest phoenix]

aren’t jsons prone to corruption

[reef girder]

or whats happening when you run that

@earnest phoenix yeah its not perfect but if they want to just move forward best to help people with their actual question instead of suggesting rewrites

[earnest phoenix]

will json parse fix stuff like quotes being stored properly etc

[copper cradle]

don't use json as a database

when you migrate your crap we talk ok

[reef girder]

Yeah :p

then thats the time to answer the other question haha

[earnest phoenix]

get a nice mongodb sandbox

i just migrated over from using .txt

[tardy estuary]

dont use json as a db because it isnt a real db and you are gonna run into issues trying to write to a single file simultaneously. unless you forcibly do everything synchronous, which also sucks

[wicked pivot]

help me pls

[reef girder]

?

[tardy estuary]

any errors @wicked pivot

[wicked pivot]

no :c

[tardy estuary]

im assuming write() isnt doing what you think its doing?

aka

you should be calling fs.write()

im assuming

oh nevermind i see you have it as a function

ignore me

[hasty lotus]

dbl.hasVoted(message.author.id).then(voted => {
    if (voted) {
      //command

@wicked pivot do you use command handler ?

and do you host on glitch ?

[wicked pivot]

glitch

[earnest phoenix]

yikes

[hasty lotus]

glitch frequently has problems with file writing

[earnest phoenix]

yes it does

[hasty lotus]

try to host it on your computer

just to make a test

if it works then it means that the pblm if from glitch

if not idk

check the name of the file

[earnest phoenix]

pm2 and self host are great things

[wicked pivot]

I already used json before and I had no problem

[hasty lotus]

while your process is running

try cat

do cat hour.json

[wicked pivot]

I have to do what ?

[hasty lotus]

download your bot files

[copper cradle]

yeah

[hasty lotus]

on your computer

[copper cradle]

you won't be using json dbs on glitch

[hasty lotus]

and try to run it on your computer

[copper cradle]

and nowhere else

json is not supposed to be used as a database

just get a real database smh

[wicked pivot]

on my pc it works

[hasty lotus]

then it's from glitch

you will have to change your host sorry :/

[wicked pivot]

on my pc it works, what do you advise me like db on glitch? free

[hasty lotus]

idk

sqlite with quick.db is quite easy to setup

and use

[copper cradle]

ofc it's gonna work on your pc

[reef girder]

@earnest phoenix for keyv is there a way to set character encoding types?

I want to store emojis

[copper cradle]

you can't just dynamically write files like that on glitch

get a real host

[vestal sequoia]

Is it any way to get the Field title white?

[copper cradle]

or don't bother people with such problems

[hasty lotus]

Is it any way to get the Field title white?
@vestal sequoia no sorry

[vestal sequoia]

Ok, Thanks

[earnest phoenix]

@reef girder not sure, you might be able to store emotes

[wicked pivot]

@hasty lotus I already use quick.db in the same file

[hasty lotus]

but you can use .setDescription @vestal sequoia

[vestal sequoia]

Ok thanks 🙂

[hasty lotus]

@hasty lotus I already use quick.db in the same file
@wicked pivot idk then

:/

[copper cradle]

they want to get the field not set it

fetch the messagw

[hasty lotus]

yeah like make it white

but nope

field titles are gray

and they will stay gray

🤷‍♂️

[copper cradle]

the message returns an array of embeds if there are any the embed you want will be the first item

then you can get it's properties

[vestal sequoia]

In an Embed, AddField, What dose the inline do?

[reef girder]

make it all show in the same row

instead of on a new row

side by side vs new row

[vestal sequoia]

Ok, thanks

or do u have to re-fork

[earnest phoenix]

anyone used remotemysql? what do i write in "host:" when i want to connect my nodejs code with the db?

phpmyadmin just says localhost

[copper cradle]

well

it says it all

localhost

[earnest phoenix]

but when i type that i get a connect refused

[copper cradle]

127.0.0.1

[earnest phoenix]

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:3306

[copper cradle]

and you need the port

is that the correct port?

where is the database hosted at

[earnest phoenix]

not sure where i see the correct port

remotemysql.com

can i view the port num on phpmyadmin?

[copper cradle]

idk

never used phpmyadmin

[earnest phoenix]

found this

not sure how to relate it to host

you mentioned port, but where do i input that?

just local:3306?

[pale vessel]

oh yikes

that's a free mysql hosting

[copper cradle]

ah

then the host is remotemysql.com:3306

[earnest phoenix]

oh it worked by just typing remotemysql.com

i guess default is 3306

[pale vessel]

because 3306 is the default port

[copper cradle]

that's the default port

[pale vessel]

yes

[copper cradle]

yea

lmao

[pale vessel]

you're prone to data leak

[copper cradle]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

glad we agree, lol

[pale vessel]

if your database vanishes one day, you can't blame us

[copper cradle]

I won't use such sketchy hosts

[earnest phoenix]

i think there are some free myswl hosting through github student pack too

[copper cradle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

idk I have my vps where I have my stuff

[earnest phoenix]

but are i really like how it instantly has your phpmyadmin setup too

[copper cradle]

to I'm fine

[pale vessel]

pma is good

[earnest phoenix]

this is what i have access to https://education.github.com/pack

[copper cradle]

oh well

[earnest phoenix]

what if i use json on the mysql db

[copper cradle]

are you kidding

[pale vessel]

doesn't sound like it

[quartz kindle]

you're trying to add a role to a message?

[pale vessel]

surely that'll work

[nocturne dagger]

oh

god

i changed it message.author

but it was member

so go with it as that

same error tho just member.addRole

[pale vessel]

are you on v12?

i guess not since client.channels.get()

[nocturne dagger]

no im not

i am old

[pale vessel]

are you sure it's the same error?

can you send it here, just in case

idk how to explain

[pale vessel]

i just-

ok

lumap read docs

[copper cradle]

ah shit

the papulince is back

[tight plinth]

so I guess

//djs v12
connection.dispatcher.end()
```--> ```js
//eris
connection.end()
```for the stop command?

I do

[pale vessel]

that idk

i never do that i did use that but forgot kek

good job you managed to not show the error

[warm maple]

ugh

there's nothing else

than that

like NOTHING

just this

[pale vessel]

commando oof

[warm maple]

yh

[pale vessel]

idk how i can help but look at the stack trace

[sudden geyser]

You sure there's nothing.

There would at least be the type of error

[warm maple]

nope

thats all

nothing else

[sudden geyser]

Okay well I assume the error was logged at /root/bot/events/client/commandError.js:1:15. There's also stuff like /root/bot/index.js:79:3 and /root/bot/node_modules/discord.js-commando/src/extensions/message.js:256:17, so could you show the code in the index file at line 79?

[fallow quiver]

function randColor() {
    red = (Math.floor(Math.random() % 255) + 100).toString(16)
    green = (Math.floor(Math.random() % 255) + 100).toString(16)
    blue = (Math.floor(Math.random() % 255) + 100).toString(16)
    color = `#${red}${green}${blue}`
    console.log(`Made Color ${color}`)
    return color;
}

I made this random color function to generate a random color for my embeds, but it always generates the same color: #646464, does anyone know what is causing that?

[quartz kindle]

Math.random() % 255 is always a number between 0 and 1

flooring it makes it return always 0

[fallow quiver]

I guess I did the Math.random() wrong then, I guess my brain was thinking like the rand() function in C++

[quartz kindle]

in js, Math.random() returns a double between 0 and 1

[quartz hill]

Math.floor(Math.random()*255)

[fallow quiver]

Yeah, I guess my brain forgot which language I was using halfway through the thing and I thought JS worked like that

[neat ingot]

'#'+(0x1000000+(Math.random())*0xffffff).toString(16).substr(1,6)

is a fun way to generate a color

const rand = Math.floor(Math.random()*16777215);
const color = '#'+rand.toString(16);

is another fun way 😛

[viral spade]

Is it a thing to create multiple bots with the same name to better being able to distribute workload?

[modest maple]

wut

you mean clustering?

[viral spade]

i mean ensure that when i add new servers/shards, the same guilds stay on the same shard/server

[modest maple]

you cant

thats not quite how it works

[hollow saddle]

@fallow quiver Which lib are you using because I know discord.js has a built in random function for embeds. .setColor('RANDOM')

[fallow quiver]

Bro

Seriously?

[hollow saddle]

Yeah lol

[fallow quiver]

Well I wasted a bunch of time

thanks

[hollow saddle]

Anytime

[viral spade]

Yes you can. if you make xxBot1,xxBot2, .. and log them in on different vps, then the same guilds will stay on the same servers

[modest maple]

Clustering is basically splitting the bot into separate subprocesses, where X amount of shard distributed over X amount of processes (Clusters)

What it is not is making seperate bots and doing that because thats not how it works

[viral spade]

Yes clustering you will ned too

of course, so you can have more than 2500 per vps

[modest maple]

no

nononononono

that is sharding

Clustering != sharding

they are two very different things

[tardy estuary]

@neat ingot did you steal my code to generate a random color for every message? 😄

also afaik theres no reason to convert from decimal to hex into an embed

[hollow prawn]

https://sourceb.in/f0ff80fc3b
I'm using this code, what it should do is:
set the placeholder's color, send a preview of how role color would look, then await reactions for yes/no (green tick/red x) and based on that it will accept the command, create the role with the desired color by the user and add it to the user, when cancelled it will edit the embed saying its cancelled and when on error, it will say time's up
what it does:
changes the placeholder's color, sends the embed message of the preview, adds the first reaction the green tick and almost at the same time as it adds the second reaction the red x it doesn't await for the message reactions by the user and it cancels the command out as if it reads its own reaction the red x and it cancels the command
I'm using relatively the same code for when the role already exists and it works without an issue

[dusty onyx]

i keep getting the error discord.errors.NotFound: 404 Not Found (error code : 10008): Unknown Message and i have 0 clue where it’s coming from 👀💧has anyone heard of a fix for this (python btw)

anyone knows why?

[viral spade]

so i am only talking about different bots and sharding, not about clustering. I am talking about being able to split guilds to separate vps, never changing which server the guild is on. (After a bot has recahed a certain limit of servers, the next bot is created and the next say 100k servers can connect to this one, instead of the last).

[modest maple]

just silence it

[dusty onyx]

oh

oki

[modest maple]

@viral spade and i am telling you YOU CANNOT DO THAT

which is why i told you

you need to cluster

[viral spade]

with cluster i can do that?

[modest maple]

damn this is hard

i would suggest it would be a good idea learning how Sharding and Clustering works with deployment

because you have a rather large misconception on how it needs to work

[viral spade]

can you link me to an info about this clustering i need for discord?

[neat ingot]

huh ? no lol, i got those samples from github ages ago when i was looking for random colors, thought they were neat 😛

@tardy estuary

[tardy estuary]

haha im just messin

i said in here a few days ago that I don't see a good use case for the embed colors. it's too small of a sliver to provide a user a good understanding of what it means, so I decided to just make it random

[viral spade]

So i dont understand how i can use a cluster to ensure the same guilds stay on the same vps?

[neat ingot]

lmao

i use umm

the color of a persons name for embed colors

[tardy estuary]

yeah that might be about it. but i mean their name is already a color so it just seems redundant still (imo)

[modest maple]

@viral spade YOU CANT

[tardy estuary]

but using it for an error color or something is kinda.. not helpful imo

[modest maple]

Clustering is the method of splitting shards into seperate processes

[modest maple]

these processes can potentially be split across machines

[neat ingot]

yea, thats true lol

[modest maple]

but your bot is in 16k guilds its no where near the size to where multi machine scaling is needed

[viral spade]

i am rebuilding it now and i want the next version of it to being able to sustain 1.000.000 servers

ideally

or just be horzontally scalable

[amber fractal]

At that point, it must have already been horizontally scaled really

unless you like wasting resources

[viral spade]

yes so is there a way to scale horizontally in such a way, that each set of guilds has its dedicated vps and local database forever? When a new guild adds the bot, it gts assigned a vps and stays there forever?

[quartz kindle]

no

[viral spade]

aight, thanks

[quartz kindle]

unless you set it to like 500 shards, and never change lol

[viral spade]

wouldnt creating a single bot for each vps work, tim?

[modest maple]

no

DONT DO THAT

jesus dude

[viral spade]

i am asking in theroy

[modest maple]

split the shards into seperate proccesses

and no

diffrent bot

different account token everything

[viral spade]

dude i am thinking about a way to achieve this "yes so is there a way to scale horizontally in such a way, that each set of guilds has its dedicated vps and local database forever? When a new guild adds the bot, it gts assigned a vps and stays there forever?"

[modest maple]

people rlly need to learn how to scale shit earlier on smh

[viral spade]

and the same time you say i dont need to care about this yet with 16K

[quartz kindle]

you mean having separate bot accounts for each vps?

[viral spade]

ye

[modest maple]

no

you shouldnt even need seperate VPSs at 16k guilds

[quartz kindle]

i mean, in theory it could work, but that just sounds like even more work to maintain

[amber fractal]

you cant create a bot account programmatically though can you?

[modest maple]

its just avoiding learning how to properlly scale stuff

and no

not without getting banned

[viral spade]

you shouldnt even need seperate VPSs at 16k guilds
@modest maple

people rlly need to learn how to scale shit earlier on smh
@modest maple

i am doing this

[modest maple]

🤨 Learn about splitting shards up into seperate processes

read d.js docs on the sharder

[viral spade]

will it achieve this: "scale horizontally in such a way, that each set of guilds has its dedicated vps and local database forever" ?

[modest maple]

get that idea out of your fucking head

that is not how you should scale shit

that is not a robust system

that is not good

[viral spade]

id call that the perfect scaling, but as tim said, the solution with maintaining different bots sounds like more work

[modest maple]

no its not

because what happens if a guild gets sent to the wrong thing

what then

that vps has fuck all on that guild

Your system should be able to scale regardless of being on seperate machines

or on the same machine

you should start by just not having your bot run on 1 freaking process

[viral spade]

isnt the sharding manager creating 1 process per shard per default?

[modest maple]

NO

[tardy estuary]

theres no reason to be mad at someone for asking questions

[modest maple]

that would be a awful waste of reasources

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/gateway#sharding

it would help if you read up even a little bit into more depth on how sharding works

and why it exists fundamentally

[tardy estuary]

Linck01 is your bot really in 16k guilds already?

[viral spade]

y

[tardy estuary]

i mean, if someones bot was that successful I feel like they would already understand a majority of this

but perhaps not

[modest maple]

its not a new bot

[quartz kindle]

@viral spade honestly, if you want to go for database clustering, you should give up on mysql

mysql is simply not designed for that, mysql works best as a single-machine mega-database

[modest maple]

idek how the bot got so big considering some of his logic

[viral spade]

i just dont want to redo everything at 100K servers, preferably also not at 500K servers, but only "add new nodes to my cluster" you know^^

[modest maple]

thats litterally what clustering is

[quartz kindle]

with one database and proper caching on all shards, i doubt you will need horizontal scaling on the database side

[modest maple]

Discord makes it so freaking easy to split processes and multi machine bots

by that point you should probably just have a online host for the db and let them scale it for you

[knotty steeple]

cassandra gud

[amber fractal]

or just use mongo shit's easy asf to scale and shard

[modest maple]

no point scaling the db if he cant scale the bot lmao

[viral spade]

the db is the only problem

[quartz kindle]

the thing is that his bot is highly reliant on the database

[modest maple]

should of ditched Mysql before hand then lol

or set up a cache db aswell as a buffer

[knotty steeple]

whats he trying to do

[modest maple]

hes at 16k guilds with zero knowledge of how sharding or clustering works

that is what is happening

[viral spade]

i mean the bot runs on different vps perfectly right now

[knotty steeple]

odd

[viral spade]

with an in memory local cache of every guild that is on that vps

[modest maple]

i cant, this is too much for me

[quartz kindle]

then get out :^)

[viral spade]

so what database you could recommend me for a stats bot like this?

[neat ingot]

mongodb/mongoose imo

[viral spade]

that works well for scaling and discord and everything

[neat ingot]

[earnest phoenix]

can i can use brake; in if() ??

or i have to use switch and case

[sudden geyser]

switch cases or loops or labels

what would you need it for

[hollow prawn]

heyo Tim

would you be able to help me yet again
https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/708391887307800767

[neat ingot]

why do you need to break an if? just end the if block :/

[earnest phoenix]

i dont want when the code come in if() it will stop, and dont read code anymore

[sudden geyser]

What are you doing to exit it.

Using return?

[pale vessel]

it's not even brake

[earnest phoenix]

return;

so it will stop ??

[knotty steeple]

dont use return if u dont want it to stop

[pale vessel]

yes but not on forEach loop

[earnest phoenix]

wut

i want to stop

[pale vessel]

return won't work on forEach loop

[sudden geyser]

I mean there's else if and such

[earnest phoenix]

oh

[amber fractal]

you cant stop a forEach unless you error it

[earnest phoenix]

yes i only need stop on else if

[pale vessel]

if you intend on using a lot of else if, consider using switches

[neat ingot]

you can continue a foreach i beleive, never used it myself

[pale vessel]

what's the point of that

[sudden geyser]

noop

[neat ingot]

https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_break.asp

[amber fractal]

that doesnt work in forEach

[earnest phoenix]

shouldn't this work on mysql nodejs? connection.query("SELECT * FROM timezones").then(data =>{console.log(data)})

[pale vessel]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

this is better then stackoverflow xD

[neat ingot]

ahh yea just for

my bad 😄

[amber fractal]

You cant stop a forEach loop

[knotty steeple]

tf does a continue do

[amber fractal]

not without erroring it

[neat ingot]

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
  if (i === 3) { continue; }
  text += "The number is " + i + "<br>";
}```

[pale vessel]

yes it will work if you have a table called timezones @earnest phoenix

[neat ingot]

skip to next iteration

[earnest phoenix]

i do

[pale vessel]

okay

[earnest phoenix]

but it says it's not a function

[hollow prawn]

@earnest phoenix if you use promise mysql, it should work, if you use default mysql, that's on callback functions, also what it returns is an array

[earnest phoenix]

TypeError: connection.query(...).then is not a function

[pale vessel]

did you define connection

[earnest phoenix]

yes ofc

[pale vessel]

oh

i think it's the .then

[earnest phoenix]

let connection = mysql.createConnection({ host: process.env.host, user: process.env.user, password: process.env.pass });

[amber fractal]

it is that

[knotty steeple]

dont think the mysql module works like that

[pale vessel]

have you tried reading the official docs?

[knotty steeple]

u need a callback..?

[amber fractal]

query doesnt return a promise ^^

[knotty steeple]

u do

[amber fractal]

it takes a callback

[pale vessel]

yes

[knotty steeple]

ew lowercase env variables

[earnest phoenix]

so sql, (data => {}) instead of using a .then

[pale vessel]

yes

[amber fractal]

uh

[knotty steeple]

the first one is the error

[pale vessel]

but (error, results, fields) => {}

[hollow prawn]

no

[knotty steeple]

so no

[earnest phoenix]

did you say there was a version of sql that works with promises instead of callbacks?

[knotty steeple]

u wouldnt get real data

[amber fractal]

.then only works for promises

[pale vessel]

i answer yes to everything

[knotty steeple]

u need a callback function and the first argument is the error if there is any

[pale vessel]

yes mysql2/promise

[knotty steeple]

the second is ur actual data

[pale vessel]

const [rows] = await con.query(fuck)

[knotty steeple]

what does that do

[pale vessel]

same shit

[hollow prawn]

connection.query('database you deal with', (<error>, <rows>, <anything else you need>) => { code in here })
@earnest phoenix this is callback default mysql
if you install and set up promise-mysql, you can use .then

[pale vessel]

same as results

that's what i use

[earnest phoenix]

use promise-mysql or mysql2/promise?

[pale vessel]

mysql2/promise is better

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2#using-promise-wrapper

[knotty steeple]

mysql2/promise is mysql2 with promises

[hollow prawn]

with what would mysql2/promise be better

[pale vessel]

yes

[knotty steeple]

so its just the promise branch that has promises

[pale vessel]

cleaner syntax

[hollow prawn]

compared to promise-mysql

[pale vessel]

oh

idk

[knotty steeple]

promise-mysql is a different package

[pale vessel]

i just use whatever works

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

is the connection code still the same

[pale vessel]

yes

[hollow prawn]

it is, yes, but it seems to work quite good for me

depends, for promise-mysql I had to change some things around

[pale vessel]

both good

use whatever you're comfortable with

[earnest phoenix]

does it deal with reconnecting itself?

[pale vessel]

it's not going to connect all the time

only when executing statements afaik

[earnest phoenix]

because the reconnecthandler i got from overflow is not working

[hollow prawn]

and make it like this:

(async () => {
  bot.db = await mysql.createConnection({
    host: 'ip',
    user: 'user',
    password: 'pass',
    port: 'port',
    database: 'db',
  });
  console.log('DB Coonected');
})();```
inside my `index.js` file, what I do is I bind the connection to `bot.db` and I have to await it, otherwise it can't do proper query

wdym reconnect handler

[neat ingot]

😄

[hollow prawn]

oh ggod, good spot imma fix that

[earnest phoenix]

function handleDisconnect(conn) {
  conn.on('error', function(err) {
    if (!err.fatal) {
      return;
    }

    if (err.code !== 'PROTOCOL_CONNECTION_LOST') {
      throw err;
    }

    console.log('Re-connecting lost connection: ' + err.stack);

    connection = mysql.createConnection(conn.config);
    handleDisconnect(connection);
    connection.connect();
    console.log("reconnected")
  });
}

[hollow prawn]

[earnest phoenix]

hmm so i can't just connect in the beginning inside bot.on("ready"... ?

[hollow prawn]

oh, when you do reconnects your "ready" event should be ran again

you can do the connection in there

I do mine outside of my on ready event

as I access it in other events as well

and I dont use reconnect handler as I have pm2 which so far works good enough for me

[earnest phoenix]

wait is this the lib i was supposed to download?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2-promise

[pale vessel]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2

actually

it doesn't matter

you can even use the original mysql

[earnest phoenix]

i wanted to use promises though

[pale vessel]

you don't necessarily need promises

well in that case you can use mysql2

and require it as mysql2/promise

[earnest phoenix]

i can't find the npm page for mysql2/promise

only the page i linked

[pale vessel]

i sent it

[earnest phoenix]

oh wait

i see it now

[pale vessel]

here: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mysql2#using-promise-wrapper

[earnest phoenix]

i thought it had a separate page

[heavy marsh]

Using discord.js v12, Is there a way to check if a link is a working mp3 url?

[winged remnant]

Will the V11 still be usable after October?

[heavy marsh]

For example http://episodes.ne.fm:8000/bbcradio1

[smoky spire]

No @winged remnant

[winged remnant]

I have several versions ... @smoky spire

[viral spade]

Tim can you tell me what clustering db you would choose for my bot, and how/where you would host the cluster? Would you take a managed cluster or install in on your own machines? I just saw the mongodb cluster prices for amazon/google/azure on the mongodb website, and they terrify me a bit..

[smoky spire]

@winged remnant ?

[winged remnant]

Let the V11 be deleted.

[atomic quarry]

When the code is ran it just returns "what are you THINKING man ..."
if (
message.content.includes(r1) ||
message.content.includes(r2) ||
message.content.includes(r3)
) {
return message.channel.send("if this message shows up then it detects the correct input");
} else {
return message.channel.send(
"what are you THINKING man that's not a valid option from the list??"
);
}
})

[astral yoke]

hi so if I have this let prefix = config.prefix; how would I make it so you can set a custom prefix with mongodb i already connected it but i dont know what todo

[fair oasis]

hello can any bot developper sms me please and thanks

[earnest phoenix]

Just ask

[heavy marsh]

Is there a way to check if an link matches a following extensions
.png, .gif, .jpg - Basically all the image formates

[atomic quarry]

Is there an easier way to do the message.content.includes?

[earnest phoenix]

just check if it that link ends with these

[heavy marsh]

For all file formates?

Is there no other option to do it

[earnest phoenix]

its easy to filter through just the image ones

[heavy marsh]

I mean I am trying to do a stream command using discord.js. So I want to make sure no images linkes are there

for example stream blabl.png - Should give an error

[quartz kindle]

@viral spade honestly cant say, i've never used anything other than sql, but if you're up for a little experimenting, take a look at one of those newer ones, like yugabyte and cockroach db, otherwise mongo is known to be easily clusterable, but i would personally go for a vertically scaled remote rdbms and work on efficient caching and transactions, because thats what im most familiar with. if it gets very bad, you can always throw a redis cache in the middle. alternatively if you prefer a fully managed and automatic solution and dont mind paying for it, check out google cloud spanner

[heavy marsh]

Any solution for this #development message

[earnest phoenix]

again, just filter out the image types, thats the only way i know

if that link ends with .png, give an error

[heavy marsh]

There is alot of image types that is the reason

[quartz kindle]

what are you trying to do?

[heavy marsh]

A stream command

to play mp3 links only - For example http://episodes.ne.fm:8000/bbcradio1

[quartz kindle]

make a request to it and check the response headers

its much easier and better to check if its a valid audio stream, than to check all other possibilities (theres literally thousands of other possibilities)

[heavy marsh]

What do you mean by response headers

[quartz kindle]

when you make an http request, for example using node-fetch or any other http library

you can access the response headers

[heavy marsh]

I am confessed 😐

[quartz kindle]

what are you using to play this link?

[heavy marsh]

connection.play(<args[0]>, { volume: 1 });    ```

let connection;
    
try {
connection = await VC.join();   
} catch (error) {
console.log(`Error On play.js : ${error}`);
message.channel.send(`![error](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/678624265276358696.webp?size=128 "error") **Error occurred! Please retry the command again or contact support - https://discord.gg/xxx**`);
}

[quartz kindle]

doesnt it throw an error if you play an invalid link?

[heavy marsh]

nope

I tried playing a .png and no errors

[quartz kindle]

well then i'd make an http request to it

[heavy marsh]

I have no idea how to, that is why ...

Also how did you do this - #development message

[quartz kindle]

have you ever used a library like node-fetch, request, got, axios, snekfetch?

open dev tools in chrome

check network tab

[heavy marsh]

I have used request - But with a npm package

Ahh I use firfox

[quartz kindle]

then open firefox's dev tools

they should also have a network tab

[heavy marsh]

then open firefox's dev tools
Where will it be?

[quartz kindle]

so, you can use an npm package like request to check the content type of the url

[heavy marsh]

nvm found ir

it*

But how to do this - #development message 👀

[astral yoke]

how would I get an sql server for quick.db

[quartz kindle]

for some reason firefox doesnt show the headers for that page lmao

thats why i dont use firefox, full of weird shit

[astral yoke]

chrome is where its at

[heavy marsh]

Nvm I use google crom 👀

chrome*

And I still cant find the tool

[quartz kindle]

open dev tools, go to network tab, reload the page, click on first connection that appears in the network tab, click headers

[heavy marsh]

OOh DAM

[cinder patio]

Thoughts on Dart? I just stared learning it today and it looks amazing

[quartz kindle]

its used for dart throwing

[heavy marsh]

But how to search a a link?

Do ou have to visite that page first?

[quartz kindle]

yes, thats why you have to use a library like request

[heavy marsh]

hmm ok

Is there a link to follow for a guild

[quartz kindle]

you can make a HEAD request instead of a GET request, to check only the headers, and not download any content

[heavy marsh]

And what should the header be?

[quartz kindle]

it should contain "Content-Type":"audio/mpeg"

or audio/ogg

[heavy marsh]

"audio/mpeg" || "audio/ogg"

Linke this

[quartz kindle]

there are a few more

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types/Common_types

[smoky cedar]

(node:12132) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Invalid Form Body
user_id: Value "@smoky cedar" is not snowflake.

Anyone knows something about this APIError?

[heavy marsh]

ooh 👀

[quartz kindle]

theres about 5 or 6 audio mime types, although not all types are used by streams

you would do something like this: ```js
let audiotypes = ["audio/aac","audio/mpeg","audio/opus",...]
let check = await request(url,{method:"HEAD"})
if(audiotypes.includes(check.headers["Content-Type"])) {
connection.play(url)
}

[copper cradle]

@smoky cedar remove the <@! >

[earnest phoenix]

look whos back back again

[heavy marsh]

@quartz kindle Thank you Tim for the help 🙂

[earnest phoenix]

oh tim i have something for you lol

[heavy marsh]

oofs RIP

[earnest phoenix]

why rip

he wont reply to me anyway he dont like me ahahahah

[quartz kindle]

if its something super basic, ill just tell you to go learn javascript

[heavy marsh]

he is yping

typing*

My spelling oofs

One more small question will you tube links be blocked by this? - @quartz kindle
#development message

YouTube, Sportify and etc ..

[quartz kindle]

if you give it a youtube link directly, it will not contain an audio type

because the audio is in a player on the page, its not a direct link

[heavy marsh]

ooh i see

[hollow prawn]

what do I have to do, to have always embedded images in rich embeds that I get from deleted messages?

[heavy marsh]

?

You mean message embeds?

[hollow prawn]

const mFiles = await message.attachments.map(a => a.proxyURL);
if (mFiles.length >= 1) {
        for (const a of mFiles) {
          if (a.toString().includes('.png') || a.toString().includes('.gif') || a.toString().includes('.jpg') || a.toString().includes('.jpeg') || a.toString().includes('.tiff') || a.toString().includes('.tif') || a.toString().includes('.bmp')) {
            const mDelete = new Discord.RichEmbed()
            .setAuthor(message.author.tag, message.author.displayAvatarURL)
            .setDescription(`**Message sent by **${message.author}** was deleted in **${message.channel}\n${message.content}`)
            .setColor('#c4150f')
            .setTimestamp()
            .setImage(a.toString())
            .setFooter(`Author ID: ${message.author.id} & Message ID: ${message.id}`);

            if (!logChannel) { return; } else if (logChannel) { return logChannel.send(mDelete); }
          } else {
            const mDelete = new Discord.RichEmbed()
            .setAuthor(message.author.tag, message.author.displayAvatarURL)
            .setDescription(`**Message sent by **${message.author}** was deleted in **${message.channel}\n${message.content}\n**File format not an image: **${a}`)
            .setColor('#c4150f')
            .setTimestamp()
            .setFooter(`Author ID: ${message.author.id} & Message ID: ${message.id}`);

            if (!logChannel) { return; } else if (logChannel) { return logChannel.send(mDelete); }
          }
        }
      }```

didn't expected it to be that big, but anyway for that code I get like 50/50 chance of the image to not be set in the rich embed

and it'll just log that a message was deleted

so I'm trying to see what do I have to do to have it constantly get the image's links and have them in the embeds

[heavy marsh]

@quartz kindle Just one more questions.
Is it possible to get the name of the stream to?

[quartz kindle]

no

[heavy marsh]

ooh ok

[quartz kindle]

streams are just data, nothing else

you'd need to get the name from somewhere else

[heavy marsh]

So it is possible?

[quartz kindle]

like a page about the stream, if it exists

[heavy marsh]

OOh I see

Thank you

[quartz kindle]

for example, if you load http://episodes.ne.fm:8000 and search for "bbcradio1" you will find it

but thats only for that specific website, all websites are different

sometimes you can find some metadata in the header

[heavy marsh]

metadata - ?

[quartz kindle]

for example that stream has this

but those fields are not guaranteed to exist

[heavy marsh]

I see

but is it always icy-name ?

or diffrent?

[quartz kindle]

@hollow prawn if that's from a messageDelete event, i dont think thats possible, as discord deleted the images before your message arrives

@heavy marsh it will always depend on the website, broadcasting system used by the website, custom fields set by the owners, etc

[heavy marsh]

OOh ok

[hollow prawn]

it is from messageDelete event, it takes a bit of time until discord deletes the images

like 5-10 minutes

as I get the proxy URL

[quartz kindle]

well if it works only 50% of the time, clearly not

[hollow prawn]

it's weird, if I spam delete images it works 50/50 time

if I do it slower, it always works

[cloud nacelle]

how did u guys do that

[hollow prawn]

and if I do multiple images from phone, then delete them, I get more entries in the mapping

[cloud nacelle]

the colored text with the

hi`

[hollow prawn]

but only one gets recorded

you set the language

for the codeblocks lol

[cloud nacelle]

how to do the colored text

[quartz kindle]

then you're doing something wrong

are you using global variables accidentally?

[cloud nacelle]

prob

[quartz kindle]

console.log the urls to see if they are not being duplicated or messed up with

[hollow prawn]

yeah, but I can't figure out what, no global variable, already did, logs the URL links properly without an issue and returns them in an array even if its 1 link

that code is run inside an IF statement that checks if the bot has the permissions for sending messages and embedding links

and before that I check if there's a logging channel on the database or not

even if I use forEach same thing

[quartz kindle]

try console.logging(a) before sending

[heavy marsh]

[hollow prawn]

alright

[quartz kindle]

you can use the https module, but that module is more complicated to use

[copper cradle]

cOnSoLe.LoGgInG is NoT dEfInEd

that's gonna be their next msg

[hollow prawn]

no lmao

[copper cradle]

hmmm

[heavy marsh]

Then what request should I use

[quartz kindle]

if you want something easier, check out got

[heavy marsh]

got - ?

[hollow prawn]

yup, logging a properly without an issue

[quartz kindle]

got is the name of the package, check their npm page

[earnest phoenix]

let HighestAmountOfVotes = -1
let Winners = []
await ParticipantArray.forEach(async Participant => {
        let AllVotingDocsOfParticipant = await VotesSchema.countDocuments({Type: "Vote", UserName: Participant})
        if(HighestAmountOfVotes < AllVotingDocsOfParticipant){
            if(Winners.length == 0){
                HighestAmountOfVotes = AllVotingDocsOfParticipant
                Winners.push(Participant)
            }
            else{
                HighestAmountOfVotes = AllVotingDocsOfParticipant
                Winners = []
                Winners.push(Participant)
            }
        }
        else if(HighestAmountOfVotes == AllVotingDocsOfParticipant){
            Winners.push(Participant)
        }
    })
    let WinnersString = ""
    console.log(Winners) --- Logs an empty array

does anyone one know why it does not await the foreach before moving on?

[hollow prawn]

.forEach isn't fond of await

[earnest phoenix]

how can i fix that

or can i not

[sterile minnow]

Does anyone know how to give someone a Role?
i tried this:

            message.author.roles.add(role)
                                 ^

TypeError: Cannot read property 'add' of undefined

[hollow prawn]

using for ( X of Y ) { do magic }

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile minnow whats your version

[hollow prawn]

you're adding a role to a user not guild member

[earnest phoenix]

^

[sterile minnow]

djs 12

[hollow prawn]

users don't have roles

[sterile minnow]

you're adding a role to a user not guild member
@hollow prawn how do i fix it?

[hollow prawn]

by doing message.member

i think

[earnest phoenix]

@hollow prawn what would x and y be defined as

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix forEach cannot be awaited

[hollow prawn]

X is your entries of Y array

[mental lodge]

I’m struggling to keep my bot up 24/7

[sterile minnow]

https://tayron.is-inside.me/yeM2ufeT.png

doess not work either

[hollow prawn]

lmao no

message.member

instead of message.author

the rest should be the same

[sterile minnow]

yeah but i have two users

[mental lodge]

Remove add and only add

[sterile minnow]

https://tayron.is-inside.me/h0dWzagM.png thats member

[hollow prawn]

wdym you have two users

[sterile minnow]

i have author and member

[hollow prawn]

and to who do you want to add the role?

[sterile minnow]

i want to give them both the role

[hollow prawn]

message.member will give you the author of the message in a member object
message.mentions.members.first() will give you separate member object that's the first mentioned one

[quartz kindle]

there are two different things in discord.js: User and Member
a User contains things like username, profile picture, etc
a Member contains things like nickname, roles, etc...
message.author is the User of who sent the message
message.member is the Member of who sent the message

[hollow prawn]

for it, you do member.roles.add(role)

as you have defined it as a member in your code

[sterile minnow]

okay i'll try

and how do i remove it?

only roles.remove?

[hollow prawn]

you can check the docs for removing, search for GuildMember in v12 and look for it if you're not sure for something
i haven't used v12 so idk for sure, but should be the same as .add

instead of .add it should be .remove and again with (<role>)

[sterile minnow]

okie

[heavy marsh]

Tim still I get this ...

let streamlink = args[0];

try {
let audiotypes = ["audio/aac","audio/mpeg","audio/opus"]
let check = await got(streamlink,{method:"HEAD"})
if(audiotypes.includes(check.headers["Content-Type"])) {

let connection;
    
try {
connection = await VC.join();   
} catch (error) {
console.log(`Error On play.js : ${error}`);
message.channel.send(`![error](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/678624265276358696.webp?size=128 "error") **Error occurred! Please retry the command again or contact support - https://discord.gg/**`);
}```

[quartz kindle]

console.log(check)

also did you check if thats the correct syntax for got?

[quartz kindle]

alright, console.log it

[heavy marsh]

I got a huge one

https://pastebin.com/6LVSbkZ2

[elder moss]

How to link a discord to a Game and do like a verification thing?

discord bot

[quartz kindle]

@heavy marsh it appears the content-type is lower case

[hollow prawn]

I'm thinking maybe the issue comes from the "if" statement

[heavy marsh]

Let me re test

[hollow prawn]

is there a way I can reduce it without chaining multiple else if?

[heavy marsh]

@quartz kindle Thank you it works well now 🙂

[earnest phoenix]

@heavy marsh may I dm you?

[heavy marsh]

About what exactly?

[earnest phoenix]

That command actually 😂
I was wanting to do something similar for my bot but for some reason everytime i try it crashes

so i was gonna see if youd wanna trade your code so i can learn

[heavy marsh]

@earnest phoenix - #development message

Tim already told how to do it

[earnest phoenix]

ah ty

[white anvil]

supply Discord iOS as an identify property to the gateway

not possible on most libs

[earnest phoenix]

Bruh why no android

[white anvil]

what lib

what lib

[pale vessel]

that's language

[white anvil]

js is a language not a library

[earnest phoenix]

THATS A LANGUAGE

[white anvil]

the library you use to communicate with discord

[pale vessel]

you ask me

[white anvil]

discord.js? eris?

[pale vessel]

yes

[white anvil]

I don’t think it’s possible with either of those actually

[pale vessel]

it is

[white anvil]

is it

[pale vessel]

you can supply ws options on both

[white anvil]

well idk the syntax

[earnest phoenix]

Just edit the source it will work

[pale vessel]

too much work

[earnest phoenix]

Basically you go to node_modules to discord.js

[pale vessel]

not recommended

[white anvil]

$identifyProperties: { $browser: 'Discord iOS' }

[earnest phoenix]

Well fork the github then smh

[white anvil]

lol the fact that you have to fork to do it means that it isn’t supported

..just saying

[pale vessel]

it's supported in djs

[white anvil]

you’ll probably run into problems in the future if you fork the lib

[earnest phoenix]

Nah theres a thing called maintaining

[white anvil]

yeah but you don’t get that maintenance if you run on a fork

[earnest phoenix]

You do bruh

You maintain it yourself or via a github bot

[white anvil]

or just run on base repo and don’t fork packages you use

[earnest phoenix]

Or dont be lazy and control your packages instead of letting them be controlled

[white anvil]

don’t know about you but trying to maintain forked packages is probably a pain

and a waste of time

it’s not lazy it’s just pointless, if you want something to be added you open an issue

[earnest phoenix]

Not really, its just a search for important bug fixes in commit history

:D

[white anvil]

or a pull request

[earnest phoenix]

Useless prs get denied anyways

[white anvil]

if you’re forking for a useless feature then wtf are you doing lol

[earnest phoenix]

Im forking because im not going to move to these managers lol

But the versions after managers has bug fixes

And no ones gonna accept PR stuff for an old version lmao

[white anvil]

eventually ur old version will just become obsolete

[earnest phoenix]

Not if you maintain it

[pale vessel]

pain in the ass

[earnest phoenix]

I have enough javascript knowledge and github knowledge to maintain it until november

[white anvil]

yea literally

[quartz kindle]

discord.js v11 community edition

[white anvil]

i wanna work on the code I wrote not some else’s lol

[pale vessel]

lmao

[white anvil]

which is what that maintenance is doing

[earnest phoenix]

I'd rather maintain for months by cloni g commits into my fork rather than update my entire bots core with all its other npm packages because these damn devs thought adding .cache to everything was a good idea

[white anvil]

scrolling though commit history to find patches I should make to my fork based on my assumption of how important it is doesnt sound like a good long term model

[pale vessel]

managers are good

[quartz kindle]

didnt eris start as a discord.js fork?

[white anvil]

probably lol

[grizzled raven]

[earnest phoenix]

@white anvil "how important" yeah no

[grizzled raven]

create a discord.js fork with optional caching

[white anvil]

you’re the one that said that you’d patch in ‘important’ bug fixes ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

I just update everything which has bugs, which is basically every commit nowadays

[quartz kindle]

i mean, the only thing you have to do to keep v11 running is supporting intents and changing the domain name

[earnest phoenix]

Yes important as in guild.available never turning false causing a massive fake event spams is pretty important

[smoky spire]

@grizzled raven you don't have to use caching lol

[earnest phoenix]

@quartz kindle no i run v12.0.0-dev

Right before managers were introduced

[quartz kindle]

oh you're gonna fork v12 pre-caches?

[earnest phoenix]

No after-caches and import them without the cache changes

Lol

[quartz kindle]

lmao

i have a bot on that version

i need to update it but i dont feel like it

[white anvil]

what is all this shit about .cache anyway

[grizzled raven]

managers

it makes more sense

[earnest phoenix]

Im only gonna update when i get my bots 50k lined code in its core and npm packages fixed for this managers bullshit

[white anvil]

i don’t follow the bloatville that is djs

lol

did they just make collection have shit like limits and expiration

[quartz kindle]

it makes sense, and its good for the library, but v12 has been in development for years, so people started porting their bots to v12 while it was still in development, then they introduced the managers change and fucked over hundreds of developers who have been using the v12 version lmao

[earnest phoenix]

Yup

Thats where i started maintaining my own fork lmao

[white anvil]

yeah the lib I use has that, with a .cache property

[smoky spire]

You can manage ur memory urself jacher

[earnest phoenix]

I cba to look through like 100k lines of code to fix this shit

[white anvil]

but all the methods you get on Map also exist on the Collection class it has

[quartz kindle]

it was a big breaking change, which is normal because the lib was in development still, but everyone was using it as if it was stable because its been in dev for years

[white anvil]

which means you never need to reference the .cache property

don’t see why djs wouldn’t introduce that

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah but then still lmao

[quartz kindle]

you do, all the collection methods were moved to a .cache property

[grizzled raven]

did they just make collection have stuff like limits and expiration
@white anvil two different classes, LimitedCollection and Collection

[earnest phoenix]

Why didnt they add it like a year earlier

[white anvil]

they should exist on the base object not .cache wtf

that’s dumb

[quartz kindle]

they dont exist on base anymore in v12

[white anvil]

big brain devs

[earnest phoenix]

message.guild.members.cache.get

Like christ

[smoky spire]

It was easier to maintain the backend with managers

[white anvil]

yeah with the lib I uses you can just do .members.get

even though the actual cache itself is .cache

pretty neat

[quartz kindle]

the reasoning is that the cache property handles all sync operations, while the parent class handles all async operations and rest methods, in order not to have them mixed up in the same class

[earnest phoenix]

They shouldve done it in v11 tbh

[grizzled raven]

what difference would it make

[white anvil]

what rest methods even exist on those caches

[grizzled raven]

fetch

[quartz kindle]

rest methods dont exist on the cache

[grizzled raven]

on all managers

[white anvil]

well I mean

the collection then

the base object whatever

[quartz kindle]

.fetch for example

[white anvil]

oh

[grizzled raven]

and add on some managers

like roles.add(roleID)

[earnest phoenix]

Now i guess with all this talk our bots are messed up anyways

[white anvil]

yeah i just don’t use that stuff

I have a rest client

that I use for basically all my rest operations

[quartz kindle]

you're using a custom lib?

[white anvil]

it’s not custom but it’s very obscure

and the rest client is standalone

[earnest phoenix]

Is there a way to refer .cache back to its collection but keeping .cache a thing

[quartz kindle]

thats basically what im gonna do as well lol

[earnest phoenix]

Does anyone know how i can sort this map by the number of votes

[white anvil]

it covers 100% of the api

it’s pretty neat

[quartz kindle]

whats its name?

[white anvil]

detritus

sec

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix you can extend the classes and add getters

[white anvil]

https://github.com/detritusjs/client-rest this is the rest client

[earnest phoenix]

Which classes though

[white anvil]

https://github.com/detritusjs/client this is the gateway client, which implements the rest client

[earnest phoenix]

Like i want to update, but keep the normal methods, do i just get getters insode my fork or where

Since i dont want my npm packages to break bcz some depend on the old cache methods

[white anvil]

so you just want to have all the regular Map properties available in the base object

?

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[white anvil]

uhh

lemme find the source for the collection my lib uses

that implements that

[earnest phoenix]

But im talking about having both tho

[white anvil]

yeah this has both

[earnest phoenix]

.cache for all discord.js shit that changed and the base ones for everything outside discord.js

[white anvil]

if I understand what u mean

https://github.com/detritusjs/client/blob/master/src/collections/basecollection.ts

[earnest phoenix]

Typescript god damnit

Idk why but i hate looking at it

[white anvil]

yup 😃

[quartz kindle]

same lmao

very interesting lib tho, i might steal some things from it

[white anvil]

the rest client is like 3000 lines

there are so many functions lol

[earnest phoenix]

Oh christ where do i even have to look at lmao

Like the functions or wut xd

[white anvil]

it has getter methods for stuff like get, has, set

[earnest phoenix]

I dont rlly get "getters" how are they defined

Like the functions or actual "get"

[white anvil]

they’re just properties that fetch a value dynamically from somewhere else

get thing() { return 'thing' }

MyClass.thing

[earnest phoenix]

Wait get on a clear/delete wouldnt work would it

[white anvil]

wdym

[stiff canyon]

Any Script Program?

[earnest phoenix]

Deleting via the base, "get" on delete wouldnt work?

I suppose managers introduced members.cache.delete while removing members.delete?

[white anvil]

probably?

you can implement your own .delete

[earnest phoenix]

Hmmm..

[white anvil]

via getter

[earnest phoenix]

Ill just compare the files that changed soon i guess

[white anvil]

or just function

doesn’t have to be getter

getter is just fancy function

[earnest phoenix]

With my knowledge (and a 9 for javascript in school) i should probably find out how to
