What u mean
#development
solemn latch
you keep track of how many times they have done a command recently, if its above a certain amount, do nothing
I added it, when people started abusing commands, honestly the djs guide needs to explain better cooldown systems
wanton nova
yeah because you can just spam the cooldown message
slender wagon
or don't give a cooldown message at all
delicate shore
^
wanton nova
yeah that might make users confused though
wanton nova
that also requires a request
delicate shore
When they are on cooldown
slender wagon
he would probably understand that the problem isn't with the bot it is with him lmao
delicate shore
o
wanton nova
thats also kinda confusing
solemn latch
I give a max of one cooldown message per cooldown period
delicate shore
Ok
solemn latch
Unless its a command with extended cooldown periods
wanton nova
@slender wagon you don't understand how stupid some discord users are do you lol
slender wagon
reacting to a messages requires more effort than sending a message i think
wanton nova
wdym @fleet hornet
slender wagon
u should pick the size ur self

how do I get async in a command file?

What do you mean

t.edit(`Pong! Latency is ${(t.createdTimestamp - msg.createdTimestamp) / 2}ms.`);
console.log(`ping${(t.createdTimestamp - msg.createdTimestamp) / 2}ms`);

});
``` this is the command I whant to use but it needs async@fleet hornet what's the error
sudden geyser
Mark execute as async by adding async before it.
wooden ember
ah ok thx
crimson vapor
@fleet hornet is that the entire error, that doesnt really tell us anything
misty sigil
Why do you have more than 11 listeners
wooden ember
Im rewriting my bot as it was just one file
solemn latch
You only need one
slender wagon
Im rewriting my bot as it was just one file
@wooden ember if u are a starter that's just fine, but as u move on u should start using command handlers
wooden ember
yeah im rewriting it to use a command handler
slender wagon
u are using v12 right?

@stiff stream you shouldn't be nesting events.
For every new message sent (including your own bot, which can cause an infinite loop), it'll get a random puppy image and sent it to the current channel.
Try removing the bot.on('message', async message => {}) part.
earnest phoenix
how can i get the voters username
solemn latch
pretty sure the vote doesnt give you usernames
youd likely need to fetch the user from discord

Can you give my bot the command to set prefix specific to servers? Discord.js v11
sudden geyser
We can't just throw an entire block of code for you to use in your project. It's your bot and we don't know how it works, so you'll probably need to write it yourself. Either way, to make a customizable prefix, you'll need a database to store prefixes per guild.

@pure lion what do you mean?
sudden geyser
@stiff stream what is your case statement referring to. is meme supposed to be the command name? Why do you have a run variable you're setting to a function?
stiff stream
@sudden geyser yes, meme is the command name. and the run to make it work is it?
sudden geyser
But you're not calling it?
stiff stream
wdym?

Where do you call the run function.

i need to const it?

where do you see RichEmbed()?

sudden geyser
Like I said, it's not working because they're probably not calling it.
stiff stream
how do i define run then?
sudden geyser
Do you really need to wrap your command in a run function.
You showed in your source code that you defined it as run = (client, message, args) => {...}
pure lion
What version of discord js are you?
solemn latch
you already defined run, you just are not running run
stiff stream
v12
celest schooner
thats not the problem
sudden geyser
the version does not matter here.
celest schooner
i just told him that

it'll be an issue later on but actually calling it is priority

solemn latch
ancient nova
no it's just css edition on the website

mods regardless
ancient nova
;-;
I rewrote the main.js because of the hosting problem that the bot had, deleted some unnecessary code from the bot's main.js also deleted/rewrote few commands which made the bot's performance a bit better, also the main problem that the bot have with the task handling problem is the constant status change which kinda slows the bot down but I will try to increase the performance by deleting some things from the variable base in the future
I think I have a command like that but it's when you type for example !leave in a specific server

you can eval that.

Im not even sure Tim uses Type tbh
for real though, not a SINGLE soul here uses TypeScript?
earnest phoenix
Well some did, but most quit
zenith terrace
what even is the difference between eris and discord.js. I'm looking at an eris tutorial and it looks completely the same unless theres some sort of changes
digital ibex
you basically code what u want in eris
earnest phoenix
So discord.js is better than eris in my opinion
lusty quest
d.js got autosharding too
earnest phoenix
Wot
lusty quest
with V12
valid frigate
there is only one problem with eris at the moment and it's unknown close codes
earnest phoenix
Oh i know what you mean
valid frigate
aka the library cannot handle disconnects properly
earnest phoenix
The only difference i can spot in main is just the sharding
valid frigate
i'm working on a fix for this right now but atm it's not really viable for sharded bots
lusty quest
i think about switching to Discordgo
earnest phoenix
Bruh
lusty quest
is more efficent than node
valid frigate
it's pretty good yeah
opal plank
deno
valid frigate
go is supposed to be easy to learn
opal plank
digital ibex
eris is cleaner, more do it yourself, is maintained by one person only (one opinion on the code), and has always been better with sharding and connections. It has less util functions and also lets you directly call rest
opal plank
go deno
earnest phoenix
@digital ibex Actually no
lusty quest
go is pretty easy to learn, it has some stuff similar to js
earnest phoenix
Eris is terrible with sharding
valid frigate
eris is cleaner
not really. the index.d.ts file still produces incorrect types
earnest phoenix
Connection issues mate
opal plank
Vysion, i assume you know Ts well then?
digital ibex
if ur in around 10k servers, then make ur own
opal plank
thank fucking god
i ported recently all my shit to ts
but im somewhat new, still not using interefaces on anything fancy
though
can u check this rq?
valid frigate
interfaces are like a core concept of typescript lol
earnest phoenix
@digital ibex eris's sharding manager has some problems with reconnecting that kills most of the shards alive, and none connects back anymore
That's why
digital ibex
when does it start to do that?
valid frigate
i dont think that's necessarily a typescript problem
digital ibex
around 10k servers, yes
earnest phoenix
Random
valid frigate
hold on
opal plank
Js runs it fine
ancient nova
I created invite generating command why does it cause such lag?
digital ibex
its not random
digital ibex
not for me anyways
valid frigate
true
then again why is your switch statement an issue, everything looks fine
weird
digital ibex
if you think its so bad, make ur own sharding stuff
opal plank
it seems like a scope issue
digital ibex
but eris is neat imo
earnest phoenix
@ancient nova invite generation command? What context is this in
opal plank
but i was pretty sure switch cases had scopes f their own
valid frigate
switch blocks probably arent meant to have variables defined in the same scope as the block
opal plank
its kinda weird to me having to put blocks onto switch cases, so im not sure thats what causing it
hmmm that could be true too
valid frigate
id point it at scope yeah
opal plank
theres quite a few things i still gotta wrap my head around that Ts is way more strict that js, like that for example
valid frigate
probably because variable lifetimes are defined by {}
opal plank
apparently redeclaring variables is allowed in Js just fine
like in that example
absolutely no issues running that in Js
valid frigate
ya np
ancient nova

erwin, u like that code indent?
opal plank

bot ping is just the amount of time between the moment your bot receives a heartbeat from discord and until it confirms that discord received its heartbeat acknowledgement
opal plank
i just removed the cancer
valid frigate
const is for immutable variables
opal plank
user let/const whenever
digital ibex
or let
valid frigate
there's a difference between let and var i think
valid frigate
in the sense that var can be used outside of its scope
opal plank
which is horrid
valid frigate
they both have separate use cases
digital ibex
var is bad
opal plank
cuz they ignore scopes
valid frigate
let is part of es6 or smth
opal plank
globals and vars, dont use
valid frigate
use whatever man
ancient nova
welp
opal plank
theres a whole list of things you SHOULDNT do
ancient nova
Imma switch to const
cinder patio
var is only still in javascript because otherwise it would break thousands of web pages
opal plank
while it doesnt explain, take a look at this
valid frigate
ok just remember that if you set a const it's short for constant
earnest phoenix
Me wondering why does this error
for(let i = 0; i < 5; i++){
//Loop something
}```
While this works...
```js
for(var i = 0; i < 5; i++){
//Loop something
}```
let and var... Wtf    should I switch var to const in all my commands?
earnest phoenix
How's it erroring then, how
opal plank
@ancient nova https://phoenix35.js.org/good-practices.html#no-var
valid frigate
you can't run es6 code? shrug
cinder patio
ItsOkayBae, it depends on how the variable is used. If you aren't changing it, switch to const, if you are editing it, use let
opal plank
im running es2020

I can, it's somehow not working with let on that
earnest phoenix
Well let's try again
cinder patio
javascript is getting better and better

Wtf, it worked with let now... How it did give error before i wonder
opal plank
es2020 = ES11
im getting on my last wits with the new syntax
not syntax
but i wasnt using es6
cinder patio
What new syntax? the new ? and ?? operator?
cinder patio
oh
opal plank
theres a bunch of stuff that i have to switch up
valid frigate
a lot of popular npm packages now come with types
opal plank
i got fed up with interfaces when i first look
so now you'll see all my variables with :any infront
valid frigate
have you ever worked with structs in other languages
opal plank
i have not
valid frigate
oh
opal plank
i do have an idea how it works
cinder patio
interfaces in TS is basically how JS objects should look like
opal plank
though i havent properly learned yet
valid frigate
bruv
cinder patio
Interfaces in TS are nothing - literally they are only used to catch type errors
you shouldn't use interfaces for those
opal plank
well yeah
thats just an example
throughout the whole code its all any
EVERY
SINGLE
VARIABLE
cuz i set Ts type to strict and that fucked me up quite nicely before i realised THATs what was killing my code
cinder patio
import Discord from "discord.js"
client.on("...", guild: Discord.Guild => {
});```I am not 100% sure if the syntax is like this though, haven't used TS in a while
opal plank
havent touched much with that myself
cinder patio
that's specifying the data type for the guild parameter
that's like the whole point of TS
opal plank
i guess Guild is a interface exported from that lib?
cinder patio
or a primitive value like string or number
opal plank
thats what i mean, i still need to learn all that stuff
currently im on lax ts per se
cinder patio
If you haven't used statically typed languages before this could be difficult to learn
opal plank
its a learning curve for sure, but im down for it

hidden lynx
It's basically a library that should make vanilla js syntax in the browser shorter and easier
opal plank
JavaScript !== JQuery
JQuery is largely a replacement for the DOM. It provides a lot of tools for working with browser specific stuff, not JavaScript specific.
There's questions about JavaScript itself that can't be answered with "use JQuery". Questions about scope, the way functions work, objects, etc.
However, JQuery can be used beyond questions about JavaScript or the DOM. Just the other day a waitress asked "What would you like?" at a restaurant to which I replied "just use JQuery". She knew precisely what I wanted at that point

opal plank
^^
earnest phoenix
TypeError: channelType.toUpperCase is not a function
is the error
And now it's same instead of createChannel you need to use channels.create()
message.guild.channel.create?
Yea
No no
channels
opal plank
isnt that v12?
earnest phoenix
He said he updated it tho
opal plank
oh
earnest phoenix
Yeah, I updated it
opal plank
aight its fine then
that catch is kinda bugging me
.catch((err) => console.log(err));
hidden lynx
That should be correct tho
earnest phoenix
passing console.log works too
it's even better because you are not creating an extra function just to call console.log

member?
earnest phoenix
Don't user avatarURL
misty sigil
message.author.displayAvatarURL
earnest phoenix
message.author.displayAvatarURL() use this
opal plank
was about to mention that
earnest phoenix
Nice
earnest phoenix
No
finite bough
username
earnest phoenix
message.Username.createAt
Wtf is this supposed to mean
finite bough
message.author.createdTimestamp
stiff stream
stiff stream
i did
earnest phoenix
You defined moment after that line
earnest phoenix
Always remember to define things you're gonna use on your code a lot on the very top of your code
As mainly packages
opal plank
hmmm this is a bit infuriating too
stiff stream
earnest phoenix
@stiff stream you already defined moment
stiff stream
ik
earnest phoenix
You shouldn't define Something twice
stiff stream
but the command dosent work
digital ibex
r u using moment more than once?
earnest phoenix
People that doesn't define to require them packages on top of their code frustrates me
digital ibex
^ opposite for me
opal plank
startup time requires me to do some logging before/after the packacge is loaded
earnest phoenix
Wait packages even take time to load when you require them 
amber fractal
well nothing can be instant
opal plank
let a = new Date.now()
import(module):
let b = new Date.now()
console.log(a - b)
earnest phoenix
@opal plank import... I meant require
opal plank
same deal
amber fractal
idk about other runtime envs
digital ibex
yeah, apart from the stuff i'd have to change
earnest phoenix
Hmm lemme test then
earnest phoenix
@opal plank
=> ```js
Vx_eval let beforeRequire = Date.now();
require("moment");
let afterRequire = new Date(Date.now());
beforeRequire - afterRequire```
<=
0```hmm
digital ibex
use client.time
opal plank
it does log some for me, though there are multiple dependencies
earnest phoenix
What does even client.time do
How do I create a channel in vs11?
I only need to use the code once so don't tell me to use vs12.
digital ibex
client.time('bob');
require('moment');
client.timeEnd('bob');
times the code in the whatever
opal plank
console has that, no?
opal plank
yeah
digital ibex
mb
earnest phoenix
digital ibex
lol
opal plank
i should switch to that tbh
idk if it allows literals or more stuff tbh
actually
hmmm
holdup
digital ibex
takes 0.000131 seconds lul
earnest phoenix
I actually wonder how are we able to use them directly while they load though... Like
require("moment").duration() i think it's magic
earnest phoenix
It's for every package
amber fractal
Well you can do it with any module
because like I said, require is sync
it will require then run what's after
like doing a function inside of a function, but not really
earnest phoenix
Yea
I think it's like async/await but hidden and better that it does the requirement first then follows the other things like methods or properties
digital ibex
opal plank
its a method
digital ibex
yeah
amber fractal
eris doesnt have a duration property does it?
digital ibex
nope
amber fractal
that's why it's undefined then
digital ibex
i just tested it because he said it was for every package
opal plank
thats kinda cool tho
opal plank
lmao
fair
for a person who literally hot fixed their code by adding :any to every object rather than properly setting types, i understand
earnest phoenix
But the only issue with that is, that you can't do
new require("<some package that's a constructor>")
amber fractal
Think you can tho
opal plank
const {Constructor } = require()
?
as long as its being exported it should work, no?
earnest phoenix
Constructor can't be involved without new?
opal plank
hmmm
opal plank
@digital ibex with sanic pc's
amber fractal
like you could do let client = new (require("discord.js").Client)
digital ibex
sanic?
earnest phoenix
@amber fractal idk i tried but didn't work
opal plank
Speedy Computers
digital ibex
lol
opal plank
lul
digital ibex
but i mean
earnest phoenix
Haha supercomputers go brrr
amber fractal
https://oliy.is-just-a.dev/j8kap_5193.png works for me
digital ibex
my mongo queries take around 0.2ms with around 160 users
thats slow compared to google search
opal plank
are you in Dapi?
earnest phoenix
@amber fractal i might have used it wrong, wait lemme try again
amber fractal
google uses their own database afaik and they have a ton of cache
digital ibex
me?
opal plank
yeah
opal plank
Not in Discord Api server?
native pumice
Hi
digital ibex
oh
opal plank
Network, database and memory test
i was doing a over 10 calls PER row in postgres
for every user
API bulk call => get user obj => loop users into postgres calls for each property (created stamp, presence, status, last message, everything) => load all in memory and then finish the script
that was the best i could do to stress test everything at once
digital ibex
const e = require('../../models/Member');
console.time('query');
e.findOne({ id: message.author.id });
console.timeEnd('query')``` takes 0.18ms 🙁🤔
digital ibex
solemn latch
.18 of 1/1000th of a second? 🤔
cloud ravine
approve my bot
digital ibex
yeah
solemn latch
no you approve my bot
opal plank
@cloud ravine no
cloud ravine
y
opal plank
your bot stinks
cloud ravine
y don't evn kno it
opal plank
wrong channel, also you arent suppose to ask for bot approval
cloud ravine
oh ok
opal plank
digital ibex
but it could be faster, a bot with a dashboard in the actual bots code, not separate and which holds more data, is faster AND its in TS
solemn latch
my bot has an api, which serves data to the dashboard.
but the user never actually sends any requests to the bots api
cloud ravine
y is it showing ???? and N/A
solemn latch
it needs to be accepted before it can show online
digital ibex
wdym they dont send requests?
cloud ravine
ok
solemn latch
the webserver that hosts the dashboard makes requests to the api
and then sends that data to the user
cloud ravine
ok?
solemn latch
its an extra step, but helps prevent any ip leaks 🤷♂️
also lets the webserver cache some data, so less requests
digital ibex
i just added some security stuff on my dashboard, its so hot i love it
express security tutorials are interesting
they're not tutorials, more like guides but ya
torn ravine
anyone here work with particles.js
digital ibex
just ask ur question lul
cloud ravine
wat do u guys think wat is the average time ur bot gets approved
misty sigil
3+ weeks
cloud ravine
WAT NO
digital ibex
this isnt the correct channel to ask
cloud ravine
where should i ask then
digital ibex
read the channel topic
cloud ravine
oh ok
solemn latch
Its totally a wip still.
Hardly started on the front end
ancient nova
took me a while but I finally repaired the high lag
it was all multitasking fault
beacuse I had enabled like 30 utilities at once
that I wrote code for
so yeah I made so it'll enable only once it detects, it decreased lag a bit
sick cloud
sort then by their position property
earnest phoenix
2- sort by dividing their position by sort()
3- map them by it's name or whatever you want```if I want to update data in real-time on a website, what are my options as a beginner?
slender thistle
I'm not familiar with frontend, so please bear with me. 😂
To accomplish what I need, I could use socket.io, open a ws connection once a certain page is open, and depending on events, dynamically update the page?
slender thistle
My goal is to make a certain... modified "copy" of Trello
honest perch
hmm
slender thistle
Either through an API or on the webpage, a user (logged in with Discord OAuth) creates a note and is assigned to it until it's deleted
cinder patio
Websockets are, as far as I know, the only way to update real time data
By sending the same event to connected clients when that certain event occurs
tight plinth
@earnest phoenix plz no big code block
slender thistle
Poor page
tight plinth
also u'll get declined for rainbow
honest perch
you could hide everything
slender thistle
You're making the button's position absolute
That's relatively slow so I personally would consider it a pass

lumap is british?
misty sigil
me forgetting that my timezone is down, not just the uk
honest perch
uk doesnt exist
misty sigil
can confirm we do exist
honest perch
no
slender thistle
Can confirm this is #development :p
digital ibex
tight plinth
blur?
digital ibex
i dont think u can
just get the div of whatever u wanna darken
and do that instead of messing with the background
if i understood correctly
earnest phoenix
see if firefox supported backdrop filters you could make a nice blur too
slender thistle
.wrapper-page apparently

Im kinda getting lazy
Is there any website or program I can use

Can someone help me with using REST APIs on djs
digital ibex
what do u need?
loud matrix
I can't get the actual API, node-fetch just shows me the site information
digital ibex
what api?
loud matrix
a private one
loud matrix
?
digital ibex
