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.

man, changing from v11 -> v12 has taken me so long already, still not finished 😐

literally like a month and a half now 😐

So I never really ask for help anymore but right now I need some I have a command

const Discord = require("discord.js");

const bot = new Discord.Client();

const snek = require('snekfetch');

exports.run = async (client, message, args) => {

const speech = args.join(' ');

if (speech.length < 2) return message.channel.send(`${message.author.username} You must supply text for Yoda. Yes.`);

const { text } = await snek.get(`http://yoda-api.appspot.com/api/v1/yodish?text=${encodeURIComponent(speech.toLowerCase())}`);

message.channel.send(JSON.parse(text).yodish).catch(console.error);

}

It's supposed to take the text provided and return it as Yoda text but it's having issues parsing the JSON response and I get a error ```at JSON.parse (<anonymous>)7:43 AM

Jump Toat Object.exports.run (/app/commands/yoda.js:8:31)7:43 AM

we just went through this

hoary elm May 20, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

Error is related to the website response, I have checked to make sure the site still works.

I have also attempted to use node-fetch

#

^

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 1:45 PM

#

try to use node-fetch and i'll help you

#

or give the node-fetch code

hoary elm May 20, 2020, 1:46 PM

#

I have code for it in node-fetch 1 sec

#

New Yoda CMD

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const bot = new Discord.Client();
const snek = require('node-fetch');

exports.run = async (client, message, args) => {

const speech = args.join(' ');

if (speech.length < 2) return message.channel.send(`${message.author.username} You must supply text for Yoda. Yes.`);

const text = await snek(`http://yoda-api.appspot.com/api/v1/yodish?text=${encodeURIComponent(speech.toLowerCase())}`)

.then(res => res.json()) // expecting a json response
.then(json => {
message.channel.send(JSON.parse(body).yodish).catch(console.error);
});
}

#

Error with that ^^ is text is not defined

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 1:47 PM

#

why did you put it inside a constant

hoary elm May 20, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

🤦🏻‍♂️ you know I had a feeling it was the const

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

remove const text =

#

actually

#

remove await too

#

because you use .then

hoary elm May 20, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

So just ```text = ()``?

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 1:48 PM

#

also where do you define body

hoary elm May 20, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

also where do you define body
@sudden geyser I don't I had that as text originally just changed it a few minutes ago

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 1:49 PM

#

Also why are you creating a new client at the top level of your file

#

ah

hoary elm May 20, 2020, 1:50 PM

#

Yeah lol I'll change it back to text, thanks for your help guys 😉

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 1:51 PM

#

you don't need text = ()

#

simply ```js
snek(http://yoda-api.appspot.com/api/v1/yodish?text=${encodeURIComponent(speech.toLowerCase())})

.then(res => ...)```

hoary elm May 20, 2020, 1:52 PM

#

Ahh okay makes sense

#

Thank you 😁 and sorry still a bit new to node-fetch

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

you should change snek to fetch to avoid confusion

#

and code quality ig

hoary elm May 20, 2020, 1:53 PM

#

Yeah I will do that lol it confuses me even

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

Hey guys I'm still having this error: ```
UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: WHERE parameter "user_id" has invalid "undefined" value

#

and yet again this is my code:```js
const target = msg.mentions.users.first() || msg.author
const user = await Users.findOne({ where: { user_id: target.id } })
// Messed Up Code ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
const items = await user.getItems()

#

i'm not sure what went wrong as when I console.log(target.id) it gave me my discord user id

warm marsh May 20, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

Does the db have that user as an entry?

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:14 PM

#

yes

#

I have another command called balance that gets the balance of the current user

#

and that command works like a charm

cold ivy May 20, 2020, 2:15 PM

Can someone give me a solution for my bot running on discord.py turning off whenever my PC sleeps?

warm marsh May 20, 2020, 2:15 PM

I've never worked with that database before so I've got no clue.

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:17 PM

#

hmm

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

@cold ivy your bot only works while your bot program is running, if the program stops running, so does the bot

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:20 PM

#

well, thats why i said pm2

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

pm2 wont help

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:21 PM

#

pm2 has python2 and python3 support

#

and it works when my mac goes to sleep

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 2:21 PM

he said hes self-hosting and his pc sleeps

limber flume May 20, 2020, 2:21 PM

@quartz kindle my bot has reached 75 servers and i have done verifiacation how long untill i get this dev

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 2:21 PM

mine took 3 weeks

limber flume May 20, 2020, 2:21 PM

brUH

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 2:22 PM

that's pretty fast

limber flume May 20, 2020, 2:22 PM

#

why are u look so angry lul

cold ivy May 20, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

do you have any free hosting solutions for discord.py

limber flume May 20, 2020, 2:23 PM

#

yes im discord.py

#

heroku

#

is what i use its pretty good 🙂

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

heroku is good but it can have frequent downtime when using a free account @cold ivy

limber flume May 20, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

i have a free account and i never get downtime

#

its been 2 months and its easy , when i want to update my code i go to github and commit changes and 3 mins later its updated

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:25 PM

#

hmm, i used heroku to host an owasp juice shop ctf and there was alot of downtime

cold ivy May 20, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

as in down you mean it does not listen for commands?

limber flume May 20, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

no heroku is perfect for me my bots always working

cold ivy May 20, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

for you

limber flume May 20, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

thonk

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

Heroku works fine tbh

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

i guess i'll try heroku

cold ivy May 20, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

when it is down does it still listen for commands

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

no

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

No

#

Means your bot is also down

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

downtime means that the bot goes offline for a while

cold ivy May 20, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

that wont work for me

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

your bot restarts every 24 hours

#

even on verified accounts

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

Unless you get the credit from github education pack

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

still no

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

Which only lasts for 2 years

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

it's dyno cycle

#

it has nothing to do with credits

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Doesnt the hobby dyno

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

hobby might work differently

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

I'm pretty sure that's what it does

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

2 years is a long time though

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Ye

pale vessel May 20, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

i'm sure by that time you already have money to buy a vps

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

has anyone worked with sequelize?

cinder patio May 20, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

I have

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

cool

#

I need help with this error

#

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Error: WHERE parameter "user_id" has invalid "undefined" value

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

user_id is undefined

#

which it shouldnt be

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

and this is the code that I suspect is wrong is this:```js
const target = msg.mentions.users.first() || msg.author
const user = await Users.findOne({ where: { user_id: target.id } })
const items = await user.getItems()

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

you need to show us how you defined user_id

#

oh wait

#

yeah im stupid

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:42 PM

#

module.exports = (sequelize, DataTypes) => {
  return sequelize.define('users', {
    user_id: {
      type: DataTypes.STRING,
      primaryKey: true,
    },
    balance: {
      type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
      defaultValue: 0,
      allowNull: false,
    },
  }, {
    timestamps: false,
  })
}

#

this is the Users model btw

cinder patio May 20, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

can you console.log target

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

i can

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

that would be helpful with debugging

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

it gives me the Discord User object

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

then it should work

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:43 PM

#

thats the problem

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

what exactly is Users

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

it's a sequelize model

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

Alright so its a database

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:44 PM

#

yeah

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

hm

#

the onliest explanation i see is that sequelize fucked up somewhere

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

i have a file called avadb.sqlite which is the sqlite db for my bot

#

idk how sequelize fucked up

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

you can try annother db that bases on sqlite too

#

quick.db is pretty handy

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

hmm

#

ok i guess i can try migrating to quick.db

cinder patio May 20, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

Doubt it's a problem from sequelize

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

@serene night you can try logging target.id too

#

if it works sequelize is broken

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

📎 Screen_Shot_2020-05-20_at_10.48.47_AM.png

#

i still get an error

#

and i think that sequelize is actually broken

cinder patio May 20, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

Are you sure the error is coming from that line? I think you are trying to set it to undefined

serene night May 20, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

i'm sure that the error is coming from that line

#

It's showing a stack trace where the error origin is /Users/daydream/Developer/ava/commands/inventory.js

#

on line 13

#

column 57

#

well, i guess i'm gonna try quick.db

cinder patio May 20, 2020, 3:06 PM

#

you are making a mistake

tight plinth May 20, 2020, 3:10 PM

#

not really

#

quick.db is good

cinder patio May 20, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

And probably has 1/10th of the features sequelize has

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 3:14 PM

#

quick.db

cinder patio May 20, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

features you are almost guaranteed to use

torn nebula May 20, 2020, 3:15 PM

#

user_id has undefined value

#

your're finding value but not added any value to user_id

Set id value user_id then use findOne

unborn steeple May 20, 2020, 3:17 PM

#

quick.db is useful but you can run into alot of errors if you dont know how to use it.

torn nebula May 20, 2020, 3:18 PM

#

will starts with install error

unborn steeple May 20, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

lol

peak venture May 20, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

How would i sum the values inside

[ {
  value: 123
}{ 
value: 234
}]```

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

iterate over the array and add up each .value

#

You can use <Array>.reduce for example.

peak venture May 20, 2020, 3:25 PM

#

already doing a forloop

#

just wondering wether i did my reduce correctly?

#

TotalRating = ShipStore.reduce(
      (acc, currentRating) => {
        return acc + currentRating.total
      }
    );```

#

so in ShipStore.rating is the value i need

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 3:27 PM

#

did you try it? An example for the array you gave above: js arr.reduce((prev, val) => prev + val.value, 0); // The second argument is what the value at the start should be.

peak venture May 20, 2020, 3:28 PM

#

ah so currentRating.total should be ShipStore.rating instead

lethal vine May 20, 2020, 3:29 PM

#

hey question

#

how in python i check if a channel is nsfw or not

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

currentRating is the current element in the array you're running. So whatever you want to add up should be off that.

#

cosmitir are you using discord.py because I think it's .nsfw on a channel

lethal vine May 20, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

thx

#

yes discord.py

peak venture May 20, 2020, 3:30 PM

#

🤔

#

the reducer just adds the numbers after one another 0145696720381386118823171148155014339901541

#

instead of like .f.e the last 2 are 990 and 1541

#

let TotalRating = ShipStore.reduce(
      (acc, val) => {
        return acc + val.yrating
      }, 0
    );
  console.log(TotalRating)```

PHP encourages an insecure programming style by design

The language is a minefield of hidden security problems.

The documentation is full of harmful advice.

PHP created by coders who never understood - value of time, business processes, ROI, etc. Most common use for code is in business world; PHP does not understand how IT works efficiently in a business world; it is for geeks only.

It took years for PHP to support Unicode, which has been a requirement for business solutions for years. Does it do that well now?

Inconsistent code, libraries, frameworks, reminds me of antique shops (mix of crap, mediocre stuff, unrelated items thrown together, with the odd useful item).

At one time, PHP, JavaScript, and C++ were considered the worst programming languages in the world. However, in December of 2015, PHP 7 was released. This version made breaking changes in order to substantially improve the language.

Consequently, PHP is no longer as awful as it used to be. By comparison, JavaScript has NOT made breaking changes, and it likely NEVER WILL.

Instead, ECMA TC39 have chosen to put a Band-Aid on JavaScript and pile on new feature after new feature in the hope that they can make you forget how execrable the language truly is. The result? Look at ECMAScript 2017: its language spec is a whopping 885 pages long!

JavaScript is now one of the most bloated programming languages in the world.

@nocturne grove doesn't an error occur?
Or do you mean what if? If so, just don't let your users make them, add checks. You should always be in control of the execution or sql injection will probb occur.

nocturne grove May 20, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

Of course I check their whole input, I replace all things needed etc. But I meant errors like connection stuff

ruby talon May 20, 2020, 4:10 PM

Shouldn't raise an error on the DB side

silent berry May 20, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

@earnest phoenix did you see the error?

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

@silent berry that error means the message was not found, the only way i see it happening in that code is if you delete it somewhere else, which causes your msg.delete() to not find it

silent berry May 20, 2020, 4:10 PM

#

ok

#

what would cause it to repeat the message to repeat its self where if i type one thing in the channel. it spams it.

ruby talon May 20, 2020, 4:11 PM

@nocturne grove if any connection exceptions occur this will be on the side that send the request as the DB can't respond or receive anything

nocturne grove May 20, 2020, 4:11 PM

#

Shouldn't raise an error on the DB side
@ruby talon ?

I can just get an error that prevents my bot from inserting data, right?

do you have other .on("message") blocks?

yes

ruby talon May 20, 2020, 4:13 PM

@nocturne grove Yes, if you are using a custom library you should add the checks yourself.
Else all exceptions should be build in and easy to handle for the script.

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 4:13 PM

#

@nocturne grove database libraries check these kinds of errors for you and give you back an error for you to handle

which database library are you using?

silent berry May 20, 2020, 4:13 PM

djs v11.5.1

nocturne grove May 20, 2020, 4:14 PM

let rMember = message.mentions.users.first();

you collect the error and log it somewhere, then show something to the user

rMember is not a member

If the DB server should be up might wanna retry

On startup of my bot, it's going to send a log, check some if his permissions and start up his counters (see if anything changed)
When an error occured at the start up counters part, some strange things can happen in the whole uptime of the bot.
(Hmm I now realise I can work around that maybe)

#

I know this explanation is really vague

modest maple May 20, 2020, 4:17 PM

yo @quartz kindle You are mc JS dude yes?

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 4:17 PM

Why track the uptime through a DB tho

how can i pass args through setTimeout?

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 4:18 PM

modest maple May 20, 2020, 4:18 PM

#

?

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

you want to give args to the scaleUp function, correct?

#

do you want to hardcode them? or do you want the timeout to call a method in a class? or something else?

nocturne grove May 20, 2020, 4:19 PM

#

Why track the uptime through a DB tho
@ruby talon you probably read that because of my vague explanation xd

I meant stuff can go wrong for the entire time the bot is online, until it goes offline

modest maple May 20, 2020, 4:20 PM

they're varibles

i worked it out

@earnest phoenix inspect your variables, one of them returns nothing probably

ruby talon May 20, 2020, 4:23 PM

I would assume you have to load the commands in when starting and that your code has a DB object which then executes all commands on the db?

nocturne grove May 20, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

@earnest phoenix message.channel is an object, use it like ${message.channel} to get the mention. Or message.channel.toString() I believe

#

yes I have

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 4:24 PM

#

@nocturne grove i tried in both ways bot i still got the error

ruby talon May 20, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

If so add a test check at the start (see it as a ping), if you get an expected result switch a check var. If it failes retry but block the commands that depend on it

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

i told you to inspect your variables

#

you'll achieve nothing by guessing what's the issue

ruby talon May 20, 2020, 4:25 PM

#

This way your script shouldn't be able to "crash"

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 4:26 PM

@earnest phoenix console.log(banEmbed.toJSON())

#

and you will see in your console which field is empty

#

Or atleast thats the way I would handle it in your situation.

nocturne grove May 20, 2020, 4:28 PM

@ruby talon on startup, it's now already saying database connected after the, I believe, first query. So you suggest when that's not logging, I know the connection is not stable.
Hmm sounds logical, thanks

nocturne grove May 20, 2020, 4:28 PM

and tbh, I don't think I should go too far with it. Because now I'm thinking "what if something else's happening in one of the following queries"... 😅

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 4:29 PM

i hope you're not using a single connection for all of your queries

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 4:29 PM

#

check your mysql library's docs, it should mention how to catch any error that happens

#

if your connection is unstable because you have a remote database, look into mysql pooling libraries

ruby talon May 20, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

@nocturne grove idk how it works on JS but in python I would let my command class inherit my error handler class and catch the errors

nocturne grove May 20, 2020, 4:30 PM

#

i hope you're not using a single connection for all of your queries
@earnest phoenix Last week I put all my queries in one file, so it will always make a new connection and close it. Thanks you was one of them who said that 😉

in js you can time your functions with performance.now() to get an execution time reading

and it output me invalid number given

@modest maple is it just a website, or a website for a bot?

add me to the open beta then

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 4:59 PM

i mean, nothing i can say about that part, performance is pretty irrelevant at that point

i would do things a bit different but thats just personal preference

digital ibex May 20, 2020, 5:00 PM

how can i check if a user has used a command in under 10 seconds?

#

like

i use 5 commands in under 5 seconds, how can i check it?

#

using javascript

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

~~read the docs~~

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

you can use timers and intervals

digital ibex May 20, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

nothing will be in the docs about that

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:01 PM

#

js?

digital ibex May 20, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

what can i check for though?

#

yes

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

for example

jovial nexus May 20, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

TypeError: args.replace is not a function

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

create an object and an interval of 5 seconds

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:02 PM

#

https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/adding-features.html#cooldowns

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:03 PM

#

every time a user uses a command, put the user in the object, and add a command counter

#

make the interval reset the counter every 5 secs

#

another way is to add a counter somewhere when a user uses a command, and set a timeout to remove said counter

#

the counters will keep themselves updated, and you can arbitrarily check their size at any given point

digital ibex May 20, 2020, 5:04 PM

#

oki, thank u

#

what i'm doing has got nothing to do with doing anything with cooldowns

@jovial nexus args.replace is not a function

check your args, they are either wrong or invalid

#

cant help without seeing your code

jovial nexus May 20, 2020, 5:08 PM

#

    run: async(client, message, args) => {
        const url = args.replace(/<(.+)>/g, '$1')

um, args is an array isnt it?

modest maple May 20, 2020, 5:08 PM

@quartz kindle How is that gonna work with button events tho?

jovial nexus May 20, 2020, 5:08 PM

yu

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:08 PM

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:09 PM

it isnt?

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:10 PM

u sure?

#

cause "args" are usually named as an array

#

hence, the s

digital ibex May 20, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

u can join the args and then replace it

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:10 PM

#

@jovial nexus how do you call the run function?

#

you're passing invalid args to it

#

@modest maple button events?

jovial nexus May 20, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

do you mean this? ```js
commands.run(client, message, args);

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

yes

#

how did you define args?

modest maple May 20, 2020, 5:11 PM

#

The hide function is being invoked by a onClick() event

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

are you using jquery?

modest maple May 20, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

nop

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

are you doing something like transitioning the opacity before setting the element to display:none?

modest maple May 20, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

yh

jovial nexus May 20, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

      const args = message.content.slice(prefix.lenght).trim().split(/ +/g);

modest maple May 20, 2020, 5:12 PM

#

300ms from 100% -> 0%

#

then hide

#

but obs atm its hiding long before it gets to 0%

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

you should be able to setTimeout(() => element.style.display = "none", 300)

#

or something

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

yeah split turns string into array

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:13 PM

#

@jovial nexus so args is an array

#

arrays dont have a .replace function

#

only strings do

jovial nexus May 20, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

then i need to replace args?

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

no?

#

args[0]

#

if you are inserting an url in a command

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:14 PM

#

args is an array of words, for example if the person types command bla1 bla2 bla3 then args is [bla1,bla2,bla3]

#

if you want to execute the .replace function on the first argument, ie the first word the user writes after the command

#

do it to args[0]

jovial nexus May 20, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

 run: async(client, message, args) => {
        const url = args[0].replace(/<(.+)>/g, '$1')
```?

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

if you want to execute the replace function on all args, all words the user types, no matter the order

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

yes probably

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:15 PM

#

then use args.map(word => word.replace())

#

yes, you probably want the args[0] method

jovial nexus May 20, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

TypeError: Cannot read property 'replace' of undefined

turbid bough May 20, 2020, 5:16 PM

there are no args in your command then

#

aaa

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 5:16 PM

#

did you type an url in your command?

ah

timid blade May 20, 2020, 7:59 PM

should have something about that in the docs for discord.js

they just say u can pass a string number or flag

#

not that u can pass a number (bitfield) or string (flag)

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 8:00 PM

I mean it kind of does:

A string (see Permissions.FLAGS)

A permission number

An instance of Permissions

An Array of PermissionResolvable

timid blade May 20, 2020, 8:03 PM

eh in hindsight that is a bit more clear, but most of discord.js it accepts strings instead of numbers because of snowflakes, so nobody would expect it to be different there so would be nice for a bit more clarity

you are fetching a message, it would not use a users

is there any way to shorten this function for the args I pass into the function

client.resource.cmdUsedLogger(client, command, commandArgs, msg)

Can't I just use an underscore?

@earnest phoenix client.users.get !?

@earnest phoenix yes(?

this dont work with users?

no

@earnest phoenix What version of DJS do you have?

How can i make a dashboard for my bot?

#

Basically interact with its database from a website.

#

Like disable and enable commands

clear island May 20, 2020, 9:13 PM

#

Is there a way to know if the message is from the server where the message was sent?

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:14 PM

#

@wise quartz you need to familiarize yourself with web development, look into these topics: frontend, backend, authentication, oauth2

#

how do i define what a command is in the default help command?

#

the whole "creating a dashboard" thing is too complicated to explain and too big of a concept so you'll have to research the topics yourself

wise quartz May 20, 2020, 9:15 PM

Frontend, backend, authentication and oauth2?

I'm working on a commands "marketplace" of sorts with my Discord bot. I'm using JSON for information. Some JSON properly returns, but some values return as undefined. What should I do?

modest maple May 20, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

use a db

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:18 PM

#

I did consider a db, but I want to do it in a format that's similar to package.json

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

Try it out and see.

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

I did consider a db, but I want to do it in a format that's similar to package.json
why though?

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

So like the way that my "marketplace" would work is that people could submit custom "packages" (command packs), and they can put info about the commands and the name and description in a JSON file that's similar to package.json

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

that's

#

a really bad idea

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

in the sense of safety?

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

yeah

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

Oh no I check that

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

oh

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

I'm going to manually check each package because it's dangerous if I don't obviously

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

i mean, unless you're reading the json file incorrectly, there's no reason that properties return undefined if they're there

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

it's not for me I'm a python developer it's for a friend so i don't know js too much and i don't have access to the bot.
So ask them to try it out? The statement works but it's better if one is able to debug themselves.

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

Yea there shuldn't be anything wrong with the code

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

if nothing works at all, you can try switching to ini or yaml

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

I was thinking of that

#

Wait how can I read yaml/ini in JS?

#

(w/o npm packages)

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:24 PM

#

you'll have to build your own reader

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:25 PM

#

Oh

#

I could use js-yaml or something like that

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

json is a javascript native
JavaScript Notation Object
so for everything else you'll have to either build your own reader or use a npm package

#

i don't know which one is the most performant since i don't mess around with node too much

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:26 PM

#

hm alright

sudden geyser May 20, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

I assume they're using Discord.js. Are they on v11 or v12.

green vale May 20, 2020, 9:27 PM

#

Or they're sharding?

#

I mean that's another possibility

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 9:28 PM

in v12 the guilds property changed types

#

see:

        **Have fun!**`);

});```

#

it shows undefined

#

but then if you do it as a text

#

in the bot.channels.get(welcome).send(`new member arriving it was ${member}`)

it actually pings him

but then in the embed

it shows <@id>

I want to do something like:

    config.package = yaml.safeLoad(fs.readFileSync(config.friendlyblobs.args[0].ok))

with args[0] being the argument of the command.

How can I do something like this?

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

config.package = yaml.safeLoad(fs.readFileSync(config.friendlyblobs[args[0]].ok))

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

So [] is the escape?

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:33 PM

#

yes

#

args is your variable

#

when using "." and your variable, the variable has to be inside of []

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:34 PM

#

oh alright

#

O, but now it's saying this

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string or an instance of Buffer or URL. Received undefined

#

It's undefined instead of a string

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

console log ```js
config.friendlyblobs[args[0]].ok

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:36 PM

#

Let me try again with another variable--

#

another value

#

Yep same thing, let me check console log

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:37 PM

#

what is the value?

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:38 PM

#

When I try to console.log(config.friendlyblobs[args[0]].sku), it returns "Cannot read property 'sku' of undefined"

#

I know that args[0] should return a string

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

ok whats the config variable?

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

config is a json file

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:40 PM

#

basially fs.readFileSync is looking for a string value and config.friendlyblobs[args[0]].ok is not a sting value or config.friendlyblobs[args[0]].sku

#

.sku doesnt exist apperantly

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

I did something wrong

visual sandal May 20, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

I made this function but it keeps returning undefined

            function afk(input) {
                fs.readFile('./resource.json', 'utf-8', async function (err, data) {
                    let body = JSON.parse(data);
                    let afk = body.afk;
                    for (let i = 0; i < afk.length; i++) {
                        if (afk[i].id === input.toString()) {
                            return true;
                        }
                    }
                    return false;
                })
            }

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:41 PM

#

Let me try again

#

okay correction* when I run console.log(config.friendlyblobs[args[0]]) it returns undefined

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

what exactly are you trying to do? @green vale

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:43 PM

#

Okay let me explain it

#

So I'm creating a "marketplace" of some sorts for commands for my Discord bot

#

So like the way that my "marketplace" would work is that people could submit custom "packages" (command packs), and they can put info about the commands and the name and description in a JSON file that's similar to package.json

#

For the safety concerns--I review them manually (if that's what you're wondering)

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

@visual sandal its coming undefined becuase js if (afk[i].id === input.toString()) { return true; }
is coming up false i think

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 10:45 PM

#

@neat gazelle answering your question from #topgg-api since this is the right place for it. When getting a user from the cache, the user is not guaranteed to be available. in order to get the user you will need to fetch from the api by using its id

#

guilds have an .owner and a .ownerID property for that. if .owner is not available, fetch it using the id provided by .ownerID

#

(in discord.js)

earnest phoenix May 20, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

it's like that everywhere since the api returns the owner id in the guild object

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:47 PM

#

oh i need to try this. thank you

quartz kindle May 20, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

since all you wanted was the owner's ID, you can simply use guild.ownerID directly, without needing to fetch anything

green vale May 20, 2020, 10:48 PM

#

@neat gazelle Thanks for the help btw it finally worked

visual sandal May 20, 2020, 10:49 PM

If the statement is false for the if statement then it should return false from the return outside the loop, right?

neat gazelle May 20, 2020, 10:50 PM

#

no. if the if statment is false then it doesnt run the the method inside it. therefore nothing is being returned so its undefined

visual sandal May 20, 2020, 10:52 PM

Ok i solved it thanks anyway

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:43 AM

#

You're welcome, I guess.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

So I'm developing a bot [DJS v12], and I'm going to use quick.db (It sucks, I know, but it's the easiest thing to use).

How would I use quick.db per-guild?

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:44 AM

#

Hm.

#

You can do ```js
db.add(${message.guild.id}_(thing you want define), (thing x2));

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

alright

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:45 AM

#

Then.

#

const fetched = db.fetch(`${message.guild.id}_(thing you want define)`);

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

Alright

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

I guess you're using quick.db for economy commands.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

Nope.

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:46 AM

#

Oh.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

I'm creating some sort of "commands marketplace", I use Enmap for my main bot but I messed up my testing db for it

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

I use Node 10 and Discord.js v11.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:47 AM

#

I use v12 and Node 12

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

dont use enmap

#

stop

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

^^^^

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

i've been using it for like 2 years its ok

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

its really not

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

how

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

it stores all ur stuff in one file

#

its prone to corruption

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Yeah.

#

What about Map?

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

if somthing happens to file, all data gone

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:48 AM

#

Yes, just Map.

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

doesnt scale at all

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

I have backups on GitHub
I have local backups
It's not really too critical data anyway

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Then, what do you recommend.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

All I have in my Enmap is just prefix so

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

far slower than usual db

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

mongo is best for critical stuff

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:49 AM

#

Yup, 🥭db.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

Enmap works fast enough for me, and if it corrupts then that's okay since it's not critical

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

i use postgres

#

i use postgres

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

Postgres

#

Hm

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

Postgres, huh.

#

Never heard of it before.

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:50 AM

#

how

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

are you serious

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

its one of most popular sql databases

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

I'm pretty serious.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

O_o

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

Maybe because I'm new to coding.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

~~What if I host my images on Postgres?~~

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:51 AM

#

but yea just dont use enmap at all

#

even if its non critical

#

it doesnt take long to spin up an actual database

#

its thre worst of the worst

#

i could list issues with it for ages

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

I do plan to migrate to Mongo at some point

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

That's alright.

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:52 AM

#

btw

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

hm

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

Quick.db actually sucks.

#

It's like Enmap.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

It's based on the same thing

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

if somthing happens to file, all data gone

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:53 AM

#

quick db is better than enmap

#

but still shit

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

I'm probably going to have to rewrite all of my commands

#

When I do move to Mongo/Postgres

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

why

#

didnt you say you were only storing prefix

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

Yes

#

But I have configuration commands

#

Eh I'll figure it out when I do move

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:55 AM

#

i would have thought u would set it in one command and get it in your handler

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

There are* other settings but all of them are insignificant besides prefix

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

Do you all mainly speak English?

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

Yes

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

Lucky.

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:56 AM

#

English and Japanese but natively English

#

Okay I'm gonna do quick.db lol

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

🤢

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

🤮

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:57 AM

#

oh

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:58 AM

#

quick db is exact same but the only slight advantage is that its based on sqlite

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

It's temporary while I decide what db I should use

white anvil May 21, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

if you cba learning sql then use mongo

green vale May 21, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

Yeah I was already considering using Mongo

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

Too many databases.

#

And what about Firebase?

green vale May 21, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

Firebase has DBs?

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 1:00 AM

#

Yeah.

green vale May 21, 2020, 1:01 AM

#

O_o

fast trench May 21, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

It's temporary while I decide what db I should use
@green vale use MySQL. Super simple and easy to use

green vale May 21, 2020, 1:38 AM

#

Hm another option

topaz fjord May 21, 2020, 2:10 AM

#

mongodb

grizzled raven May 21, 2020, 2:33 AM

#

i need to switch to mongo but aaaaaaaaaaa

steel drum May 21, 2020, 3:05 AM

#

ive really liked mariadb

#

its meant to be a drop in replacement to mysql

#

and if you're developing a bot with node.js, it natively supports promises

green vale May 21, 2020, 3:21 AM

#

that's cool

tidal sparrow May 21, 2020, 3:53 AM

#

don't use firebase db

fast trench May 21, 2020, 4:28 AM

#

MySQL is honestly the best and easiest db to use

dusky marsh May 21, 2020, 5:36 AM

#

thats arguable

steel drum May 21, 2020, 6:08 AM

#

theres no "best" database

spice smelt May 21, 2020, 7:20 AM

#

well i’m using quickdb and it’s true it isn’t really good. But can this be replaced by simple JSON files?

dusky marsh May 21, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

anything is better than using JSON for your database solution

spice smelt May 21, 2020, 7:26 AM

#

and btw why not use firebase? i haven’t thought about it but it doen’t seem that bad, right?

#

@dusky marsh why? not safe?

gilded ether May 21, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

JSON is prune or prone to corruption

dusky marsh May 21, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

^

gilded ether May 21, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

i can’t remember the word

#

but ANYTHING is safer

spice smelt May 21, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

xD

#

actually its just a file so it makes sense xD

#

but what about firebase?

gilded ether May 21, 2020, 7:27 AM

#

never heard of that

cedar nova May 21, 2020, 7:28 AM

#

how, let it be replaced by the number of servers
