what is a avatarurL? OwO

quartz kindle May 21, 2020, 6:09 PM

#

@fallow steppe there are two ways of mixing strings and variables, one is concatenating, the other is templating

// concatenating
"my string" + Math.round(number) + "another string"

// templating
`my string ${Math.round(number)} another string`
``` notice the difference in quoting

fallow steppe May 21, 2020, 6:10 PM

I see

earnest phoenix May 21, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

My bot doesn't start anymore, any idea why ?

fallow steppe May 21, 2020, 6:10 PM

#

So I'd have to use quotes instead of inverted comma?

quartz kindle May 21, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

if you want to use concatenation, you can use whichever you want, but you have to stop the string, use the plus signs, then start another string

fallow steppe May 21, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

I see

#

Alright thanks

quartz kindle May 21, 2020, 6:11 PM

#

if you use templating, you dont need the plus signs, instead you use ${} around it. templating can only be done with backsticks/inverted comma

earnest phoenix May 21, 2020, 6:13 PM

My bot suddenly stopped working, it actually doesn't start, any idea why? I didn't change anything about it except for some embeds

How to make shards if I use discord.py and already have bot maked on cogs?

I want to test shards on my raspberry pi before something more powerful

How can I catch an error from a const variable that awaits something? (Node)

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 8:35 PM

#

You can use try.

green vale May 21, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Can I do that with a const variable?

#

Or just any variable*

rocky solstice May 21, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Declaring the variable inside try.

#

And.

#

Yes, I guess.

green vale May 21, 2020, 8:36 PM

#

Wait--so if I declare the variable inside try, can I use it outside of the try statement?

hi

#

why does let e = require('ms'); e(message.member.createdAt) respond with 47 years?

pale vessel May 21, 2020, 9:17 PM

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

sudden geyser May 21, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

createdAt is a timestamp (in Discord.js it's a date, but in Eris it's a string) from the start of 1970.

junior prawn May 21, 2020, 9:19 PM

#

hi

quartz kindle May 21, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

and "ms" returns the amount of time the input represents

digital ibex May 21, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

so uh

#

what can i do to format it?

quartz kindle May 21, 2020, 9:20 PM

#

what do you want to format it as?

digital ibex May 21, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

do i need to convert it into a unmber, then do e(..)

#

something like

quartz kindle May 21, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

you want to know how long ago the member was created?

digital ibex May 21, 2020, 9:21 PM

#

yeah

#

and it responds with years (if years), days (if days) and hours & minutes

quartz kindle May 21, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

member.createdTimestamp = timestamp of when the member was created
Date.now() = current timestamp
Date.now() - member.createdTimestamp = difference between now and the creation date, aka how long ago it was

digital ibex May 21, 2020, 9:22 PM

#

oh

#

let e = require('ms'); e(Date.now() - member.createdAt)

#

?

quartz kindle May 21, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

better to use createdTimestamp in this case, since it returns the timestamp as a number, while createdAt returns it as a Date object

digital ibex May 21, 2020, 9:23 PM

#

createdAt returns a timestamp

#

in eris

@fallow steppe example?

fallow steppe May 22, 2020, 12:52 AM

Example I have a variable that has your economy amount ( like gambling gives you 100 ), wht'd be the method to show this value and modify a variable value?

quartz kindle May 22, 2020, 12:54 AM

#

you mean this? ```js
let a = 100;
console.log(a) // show 100 in console
message.channel.send(a) // send 100 as a message
a += 100 // add 100 to a, so it becomes 200
console.log(a) // show 200 in the console

fallow steppe May 22, 2020, 12:54 AM

Not in console, just a variable within the bot itsself

#

Ex. My bot has a command called work and gives generated amount for ex 100, I'm not sure how do I modify a variable so it sums your balance with what's generated

thats better than nothing

there are a variety of ways

you could use mysql, mariadb, mongodb, postgresql, txt files, json files

its up to you to decide

fallow steppe May 22, 2020, 12:59 AM

#

Yeah I use json files on the bot

steel drum May 22, 2020, 12:59 AM

assuming you are using javascript

you could use the fs module to read and save json files

id advise against that however

So I have a database for levels and want to know if there’s a way I can have my bot figure out who has the highest the second highest then 3rd highest level and then fetch their ID to put into mention form (<ID@>)

#

for a leaderboard

#

I currently have a database in a JSON file

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 4:27 AM

#

please tell me why console.log(bot) makes my process lag

you're logging your entire bot class probably that's why

@merry edge I'm pretty sure it's sendMessage capital M and I'm also pretty sure that's Deprecated you can still use it but most common method now is just message.channel.send

now it says invalid token? i know it read the token, but then it just says invalid? ;-;

hoary elm May 22, 2020, 6:22 AM

@pine bear Refresh your bot token and re add it to the project usually helps if you are positive it's reading it/you added it properly 🤔

pine bear May 22, 2020, 6:23 AM

it works while self hosting the code

hoary elm May 22, 2020, 6:23 AM

Yeah glitch has done that to me a few times

But then if I refresh the token it's fine

@earnest phoenix that means you're not using the async keyword before the function

Supplied roles is not an Role, Snowflake or Array or Collection of Roles or Snowflakes.

first time a got that error

have you ever heard of debugging

inspect your variables

see what their types and values are

How can i fix this error: ReferenceError: prefix is not defined?

EDIT: I got also this in console: DeprecationWarning: current Server Discovery and Monitoring engine is deprecated, and will be removed in a future version. To use the new Server Discover and Monitoring engine, pass option { useUnifiedTopology: true } to the MongoClient constructor.

pale vessel May 22, 2020, 8:27 AM

#

do you know what const does?

#

pass useUnifiedTopology: true to the options

white anvil May 22, 2020, 8:28 AM

#

you have defined prefix in the wrong place, it only exists within your if statement

#

you need to declare it within the scope of your event and set the value where you need it

balmy knoll May 22, 2020, 8:28 AM

#

Where have i to add this useUnifiedTopology: true?

pale vessel May 22, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

use let instead

#

if you read the error, you'll know why

balmy knoll May 22, 2020, 8:29 AM

#

@pale vessel Yes i have just replace it with let

sacred mural May 22, 2020, 9:07 AM

and you're not a noob

modest maple May 22, 2020, 9:07 AM

@willow sphinx You must run the program to keep it running

that program runs 24/7

does anyone know a way of having javascript send the redirected link?

in my case I pull a url from reddit but its a gfycat url which in a browser would send you to the gifdeliverynetwork .com but the bot just sends the gfycat link which cannot embed the gif in question

sacred wraith May 22, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

Hey guys, how exactly do you develop your bot once you've deployed it to production? Like if I run it locally, my bot suddenly replies twice (prod and dev).

jolly zephyr May 22, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

are you on .js?

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 9:29 AM

#

use different tokens for dev and prod

coral stirrup May 22, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

dotenv is the solution

jolly zephyr May 22, 2020, 9:31 AM

#

if you're using github here is the best method;

make a separate file for your token outside of your directory for all of the bot files and use ../config to fetch it

coral stirrup May 22, 2020, 9:32 AM

#

this could upload the bots token, though.

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 9:32 AM

#

.gitignore exists

jolly zephyr May 22, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

oh yeah thats even better

coral stirrup May 22, 2020, 9:33 AM

#

if you dont know how you can fix this simple issue, you may also not know about gitignore.

#

thats why its dotenv all the way.

jolly zephyr May 22, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

does anyone have a solution for the redirect issue

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 9:34 AM

#

see if there are any redirect instructions in the headers

#

this'll help https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Redirections

MDN Web Docs

Redirections in HTTP

URL redirection, also known as URL forwarding, is a technique to give more than one URL address to a page, a form, or a whole Web site/application. HTTP has a special kind of response, called a HTTP redirect, for this operation.

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.

well you're not supposed to join the args if you want the first word

I want integrate my bot in discord.js with a custom prefix feature, but when i try to connect the bot to a mongodb database, i got this error in console (sometimes all work properly). I had already reported a little over this problem, but they couldn't help me. Could you help me?

seems like an issue with mongo

balmy knoll May 22, 2020, 11:12 AM

#

Yes the problem concerns the connection in mongo. But I don't understand since sometimes it connects and sometimes it doesn't.

pale vessel May 22, 2020, 11:12 AM

try:

checking your credentials
whitelisting your server ip
have a proper connection string

balmy knoll May 22, 2020, 11:15 AM

@pale vessel The credentials and the connection string are correct, because sometimes all work. So i don't know

Hey. I need your advice. What would you prefer when you are making/using a help command?
A general help command where you have to react with emoji to get help about a category. Then you can return by reacting with ⬅️
A general help command which shows what categories the command has. You can get help about a category by doing <prefix>help <categoryname>, for example .help server settings

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 2:09 PM

#

Last i'd say

#

from a user's perspective, to me all forms of paginators are annoying

#

just give me what i need plain and simple

#

bc the help command with reactions requires a reaction collecter which eats a lot of ram when used multiple times. Lets say some people want to break your bot and find a way to do so by spamming the help command. not good

#

put the categories in fields - field name is the category and field value is the list of commands in that category

#

^

#

if i want more information about some category or command, i'd expect for the bot to support help category or help command name

#

that's just me though, i don't know how other people feel about it

nocturne grove May 22, 2020, 2:12 PM

#

well I got kind of what you're saying now

can I show it to you in #commands?

Anyone who could help a bit with React (TypeScript)?
I have an authentication using the Context API (& localStorage for persistence) but whenever I am authenticated (in localStorage) and reload the page, it just resets the authenticated to false.

export default (props: any) => {
    const prevAuth = window.localStorage.getItem("auth") || false;
    const prevAuthBody = window.localStorage.getItem("authBody") || null;

    const [authenticated, setAuthenticated] = useState(prevAuth);
    const [authBody, setAuthBody] = useState(prevAuthBody);

    useEffect(() => {
        window.localStorage.setItem("authenticated", `${authenticated}`);
        window.localStorage.setItem("authBody", authBody!);
    }, [authenticated, authBody]);

    const defaultContext = {
        authenticated,
        setAuthenticated,
        authBody,
        setAuthBody,
    };
    return (
        <RootContext.Provider value={defaultContext}>
            {props.children}
        </RootContext.Provider>
    );
};

The only time I change the authenticated is whenever I actually authenticate (this code)

const json = await response.json();
if (json.access_token) {
    context.setAuthenticated(true);
    context.setAuthBody(json.access_token);
    setToken(json.access_token);
} else setToken("invalid");

how do i print a list inside a list?
i tried to do
x[0][0]
but it seems to print the first letter of the first list
@narrow kettle imagine it being like this:```
0: [0, 1, 2, 3],
1: [0, 1, 2, 3],
2: [0, 1, 2, 3],
3: [0, 1, 2, 3]

so [0][0] will get the first index of the first row

#

to print the whole arra (row) you just need to get [0]

isnt it like this tho?

0: [0: [0, 1, 2, 3], 1: [0, 1, 2, 3], 2: [0, 1, 2, 3], 3: [0, 1, 2, 3]]

How many times is a bot to change his status? I don't ask this for myself but I see a bot here that's updating like every 8 seconds or something
@nocturne grove 8 seconds is api abuse

def open_file():
    f = open("Pink_Floyd_DB.txt", "r")
    text = f.read()
    f.close()
    x = text.split('#')
    for i in x:
        i = i.split('*')
    x.pop(0)
    return x[0][0]

the file is just full of songs and albums, the first split, splits the string into albums(Which works), and then the second splits should split the songs inside the albums(which i dont know if it works because i cant manage to print it)

yeah already thought that

#

idk what to do with it now but just wanted to be sure 😂

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:26 PM

#

@narrow kettle so that's correct

#

it's a 2d matrix, which has albums as rows and songs as columns

html to json isn't a thing but xml to json is

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

probably you're getting the album as a text

narrow kettle May 22, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

ah

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

the album*

#

so let's say the album is called yellow submarine

narrow kettle May 22, 2020, 5:27 PM

#

how am i suppose to do that there is a list taht contains the albums which contains the songs then?

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

getting [0] of that album would return y

narrow kettle May 22, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

mhm

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

you need to use objects

narrow kettle May 22, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

wdym use objects

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:28 PM

#

artist A contains N albums, which contains N songs

#

I'll use json code as example

#

{
  "id": 0,
  "name": "Linkin Park",
  "albums": [
    {
      "id": 0,
      "name": "Hybrid Theory",
      "songs": ["a", "b", "c"]
    }
  ]
}

#

for example

#

so when you do artist.albums[0].songs you'll get all the songs of that artist

#

obviously for python you'll need to create a proper object (unless python works with json)

does anyone know the code to give role?

@earnest phoenix isn't addRole()'s arg a string?

@cosmic girder not working?

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:48 PM

#

like, addRole(ID)

cosmic girder May 22, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

@earnest phoenix it works yes but doesnt give him the role

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 5:49 PM

@lyric mountain no

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:49 PM

#

show the whole error

cosmic girder May 22, 2020, 5:50 PM

#

addRole(ID) wont work because of the fact its gonna be in different servers

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

ID is unique for each entity

cosmic girder May 22, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

exactly

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:51 PM

#

no two roles have the same id, regardless of being in different servers

white anvil May 22, 2020, 5:51 PM

@still merlin this question could not be more vague

cosmic girder May 22, 2020, 5:51 PM

how do bots with many shards scale their bot? If their bot is added in thousands of servers every day, how could they scale automatically?

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

dude

#

it's the addRole

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 5:52 PM

#

-.- yes

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

@lyric mountain exactly im trying to make it so they get muted so addRole(id) wont work
@cosmic girder addRole(id) will always work, unless you're trying to add a role to a member that's not in that server

#

@earnest phoenix use addRole(role.id)

sudden geyser May 22, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

You can pass a role instance or the ID

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

well :D

sudden geyser May 22, 2020, 5:53 PM

#

doesn't matter

#

You should check if the role was actually found

#

in the db fetch

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:54 PM

#

do a console.log(role)

cosmic girder May 22, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

ok

sudden geyser May 22, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

btw that try catch statement won't work since <Role>.addRole returns a promise.

pale vessel May 22, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

it would

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:55 PM

#

if (msg.content.toLowerCase().startsWith(prefix + "mute")) {
    var mem = msg.mentions.members.first();
    if (msg.guild.roles.find("name", "Muted")) {

        msg.channel.send("Please mention the users @");
        console.log(e);
      });

    }
  }

@cosmic girder use this:```js
msg.guild.roles.find("name", "Muted")).then(r => {
mem.addRole(r);
msg.channel.send(mem.displayName + " has successfully been muted!");
}).catch(e => {

pale vessel May 22, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

you don't need return

#

you already have break

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

you can't return a value outside a function

sudden geyser May 22, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

it would
from my experience it won't

#

you need to await it first

pale vessel May 22, 2020, 5:57 PM

#

chances are you d-

#

yeah

#

you need the use await

#

~~just add one word~~

lyric mountain May 22, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

or just use .catch()

#

since promises have built-in try-catches

earnest phoenix May 22, 2020, 5:58 PM

#

["command"].forEach(handler => require(`./handlers/` + handler)(bot));

error
require(...) is not a function

sudden geyser May 22, 2020, 5:59 PM

did you export a function in the file

tht wouldnt work you have
