[eternal flame]

damnation in the pit awaits the var

ok

so

its working

but

the server value is still 0 even though its in 2 servers

[toxic bane]

@toxic bane https://lmgtfy.com/?q=meme+api
@nimble escarp thanks!!

hi

[jolly wave]

hi

[quartz kindle]

because you're defining it outside the ready event, as i told you before

[nimble escarp]

Could you just send it like a normal message next time so that other's questions don't get pushed up too fast? @eternal flame

[eternal flame]

im not picking up what youre saying here tim

ill just give you the code block that i think is giving me the issues

it is but

ok here

``let stats;
bot.on("ready", () => {
console.log('api boy is on')

stats = {
    "rainbow": 5,
    "unicorn": 3,
    "doom": -3,
    "gloom": -2,
    "poopoo": 2,
    "servers": servers

}

})``

[jolly wave]

yes

[nimble escarp]

Ask your code @earnest phoenix

[eternal flame]

^

also please dont flood with screenshots

[quartz kindle]

@eternal flame as i said, you're defining the variable servers before the bot is ready, so the servers will always be 0

[eternal flame]

how do i fix that

[quartz kindle]

isnt it obvious?

[eternal flame]

wait

im re******

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix return if author is a bot

[nimble escarp]

You are not checking if the sender is a bot

[quartz kindle]

@earnest phoenix make it ignore bots

[nimble escarp]

if (!message.content.startsWith(this.prefix) || message.author.bot) return;

This is what I use normally

[earnest phoenix]

Thanks for flooding btw

[eternal flame]

ok tim

so

it worked

but

it says 5 servers

and its in 2

wait let me check

imagine tho lol

ok brb

[faint prism]

So... I'm trying to figure out this issue I got. I think it corrupted my json db.
I suspect someone had a weird unicode username that didn't serialize well

[quartz kindle]

rip

no backups?

[faint prism]

It was recently wiped

[eternal flame]

ok so

[faint prism]

No backups yet lol

The data isn't super important yet anyways, but annoying

[quartz kindle]

either wipe it again or look at position 12248 for some unclosed string

[eternal flame]

im gonna wait for auger to finish cuz i dont wanna be a dick

[quartz kindle]

although it might be that the file was incorrectly truncated, so the problem might not be a broken string, but a whole chunk of data being cut off

[twilit rapids]

@dreamy elm did you start the server yet

[dreamy elm]

well timo it wont show nothing

[twilit rapids]

You have to run the jar file

And keep it running

[dreamy elm]

bc nginx is masking the ip to a port

[faint prism]

although it might be that the file was incorrectly truncated, so the problem might not be a broken string, but a whole chunk of data being cut off
@quartz kindle It overwrote the json file back to empty on that error because the file size dropped way down

I need to get my SQL db context working

So I can hurry up and mirate

[quartz kindle]

yeah do that

you need a lot of special considerations when working with json

[dreamy elm]

bc nginx is masking the ip to a port
@twilit rapids

[eternal flame]

ok so using graingers code that he gave me (props to him) i figured out that the 5 servers things WASNT an issue and that it was just me being a fucking idiot

so

how can i find

the number of members

like

total

how many members are in each server the bot is in

combined

[faint prism]

oh snap, I had a backup

[quartz kindle]

use a reduce function on the guild cache, do yo know how to use a reduce function?

[faint prism]

I'm exploring MongoDb. My DB class is essentially a List<UserRecord>
Is this what the DB should look like? I just threw my Json db at it

Or is there a way to make the _id the UserId, or primary key, or something like that

[eternal flame]

i do not tim

[quartz kindle]

you probably want each user record to have a unique id so it can be properly indexed

[faint prism]

Also, telling me to google is an acceptable reply lol

Yeah, the record's ID is <ulong> UserId

I'd like this to be the PK

[quartz kindle]

are you using a collection?

[faint prism]

I'm exploring MongoDb. My DB class is essentially a List<UserRecord>
Is this what the DB should look like? I just threw my Json db at it
@quartz kindle

[quartz kindle]

i mean, if you did anything with mongodb collections

like db.someCollection.insert()

or how did you transfer from json to mongo

[faint prism]

Let me show you my user record repository class

That's essentially my JSON database

Nothing fancy

[quartz kindle]

yes but

you said you are exploring mongodb

[faint prism]

mhm

[quartz kindle]

did you actually write to mongodb yet?

[faint prism]

No, I imported via JSON file just to test it out. I'm assuming that doesn't make for the cleanest db.. 😛

[quartz kindle]

ah

i dont know what mongo does when importing json, but from the image you sent before, it doesnt look right

[eternal flame]

how do i check to see how many members are in all the servers my bot is in combined

[faint prism]

But, I think dropping the UserRecordsRepoitory would make it convert better.

[eternal flame]

and no i dont know how to use a reduce

that would be prob nice tho

[amber fractal]

That collection was not indexed

[quartz kindle]

i'd look into creating a collection in mongo db, then iterating over your json users and inserting each one into the collection, using the user id as the _id field

[amber fractal]

usually each document has its own _id for indexing

[faint prism]

That's what I figured

Bc rn it's a table with 1 object that's an array

[quartz kindle]

ye, it should be a collection with each user as a document

[amber fractal]

I believe getting by _id is much faster than by other properties

because it's guaranteed to be unique

[quartz kindle]

@eternal flame guilds have a .memberCount property

which gives you the total number of members it has

[eternal flame]

oh

wait so

[quartz kindle]

but to combine the memberCount of all guilds, the easiest way is to use a reduce function

[eternal flame]

can u give me an example code please

i dont know how to start it

oof

[quartz kindle]

a reduce function takes a list of items, for example an array, and does something with all of them until there is a single value left

for example ```js
array = [1,2,3,4,5];
result = array.reduce((previousValue,currentValue) => previousValue + currentValue, startingValue = 0)
result // 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15

[eternal flame]

so basically

its a very complicated way of saying 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 equals 15

or so and so + so and so + so and so + so and so + so and so + so and so = dsjlghfekhdhfdgs

[quartz kindle]

exactly

[eternal flame]

ok so

[quartz kindle]

its a fast way to reduce any number of items into a single value based on whatever function you want

[eternal flame]

i have my bot set to log what servers its in and how many members each server has but it does not combine them

(thans grainger for the code)

ill show you

it console logs

"server is starting" is just a bug

[quartz kindle]

you know how to get the number of guilds, right?

[ancient nova]

does anyone wanna say their opinions on the website I made? I'm looking for feedback it's my third ever website

[eternal flame]

i have it set as the status

and yes it also displays it on the api

[quartz kindle]

so to get the number of guilds, you use client.guilds.cache.size

[eternal flame]

yep

[quartz kindle]

client.guilds.cache is an instance of a Map object, which is how discord.js stores guilds

you can read more about Maps here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map

[eternal flame]

dora the explorer intensifies

[quartz kindle]

but discord.js takes the default Maps and extends them with new functions

[eternal flame]

alr

[quartz kindle]

many of the array functions are added to them by discord.js

including a reduce function

so you can directly do client.guilds.cache.reduce()

[eternal flame]

shut up

rly?

thats a lot easier then i thought

so wait

how would i

wait

how would i have that display as a number

[quartz kindle]

their reduce function is nearly identical to the original reduce function that arrays have, you can check the original reduce here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/Reduce

so if you learn how reduce works in one, you can use it in the other exactly the same way

[eternal flame]

hm

how would i log this to the console

i just tried console.log(client.guilds.cache.reduce()) and that didnt work

(of)

ofc*

[quartz kindle]

reduce requires a function

just like find, filter, etc...

[eternal flame]

what would the function be

[quartz kindle]

remember the example i showed you above?

[eternal flame]

wait

hold on

would it be

i dont wanna fuck up and sound stupid

function

client.

hot or cold

[quartz kindle]

cold

[eternal flame]

fuck

uh

function

[quartz kindle]

do you know how to use .find and .filter and other array functions?

[eternal flame]

in my dreams maybe but thats the highest chance

[faint prism]

Trying to figure out which one of these fits a ulong

64-bit (8-byte) integers is what I need

[quartz kindle]

probably long

[faint prism]

wouldn't it being an unsigned long have an issue with that?

[quartz kindle]

which app is that?

[faint prism]

MongoDB Compass

[eternal flame]

ok so it does start with function right

[faint prism]

Long would make a ulong truncate. Unless it was a long long

[quartz kindle]

cant find anything in the compass docs

[faint prism]

me either :/

[quartz kindle]

decimal128 would probably be long long

[faint prism]

I'll look more into that db, but I don't need percision..

[quartz kindle]

so number would be uint32, and long would be uint64 i believe

but they have a separate int32

[eternal flame]

u guys sound like me trying to figure out the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit

[quartz kindle]

trying to figure out what exactly mongodb compass means with those names lol

[eternal flame]

so

the

reduce thing

it does start with function

right?

[quartz kindle]

anyway, you never used .find() or .filter()?

[eternal flame]

no

[faint prism]

Decimal128 supports 34 decimal digits of significand and an exponent range of −6143 to +6144

[quartz kindle]

you never used any array function?

[eternal flame]

nae

[quartz kindle]

what about forEach

[faint prism]

Do you know what an array is?

[eternal flame]

for my handlers yes

command handlers

also for the console log

commands

etc

[quartz kindle]

ok so, when you do something.forEach() inside the forEach you put a function

and the function is executed once for every item

this function is given the current item, for you to do something with it

for example

[eternal flame]

["command"].forEach((handler) => {
require(./handlers/${handler})(bot);
}); are my cmd handlers

[quartz kindle]

something.forEach(item => do something with item)

[eternal flame]

OHHH

oh

so

would the

the the the

the do something with item

be the reduce function

and the item

be the server count

or

[quartz kindle]

more or less

[eternal flame]

am i wrong

yay

[quartz kindle]

if you wanted to do .find or .filter, it would be the same thing: something.filter(currentItem => do something with current item) or something.find(currentItem => do soemthing with current item)

but with .reduce its a bit different

with forEach, find and filter, you function is given the current item, to do something with it, but with a reduce, the current item is given as the second parameter, not the first

the first parameter is an accumulator, which holds the total combined value so far

[eternal flame]

oh

[quartz kindle]

so a reduce would be like this

something.reduce((accumulator,currentItem) => do something with current item and accumulator)

[eternal flame]

what would it be with the needed things replaced with things to get member value

[faint prism]

ListOfThing.ForEach(aThing => aThing.thingsProperty = newValueForThing) // Replaces every things property

[opaque eagle]

what does he want to do

[eternal flame]

total member count of all servers

that the bot is in

[quartz kindle]

the accumulator has no initial value, it starts as being undefined, but, the reduce function gives you an option to set an initial value, as the second parameter

[opaque eagle]

yeah you can just use array.reduce

[quartz kindle]

so for example

we want the final value to be a number

so lets set the accumulator's initial value to 0

something.reduce((accumulator, currentItem) => do something, 0) <-- 0 is the initial value of the accumulator

[eternal flame]

so let me get started on this

kinda

if

i set the amount of servers its in as servers

would it be

["servers"].dbjsfgkjdsgfd.g(dfskjgkhfdhgdfsgf)

[quartz kindle]

no

[eternal flame]

hm

[quartz kindle]

your starting point is client.guilds.cache

remember?

[eternal flame]

oh

yeah

[quartz kindle]

anyway, the do something part, its basically, what to do with the current item, and the accumulator, and whatever the result is, the accumulator becomes that result

[eternal flame]

so the accumulator is what everything is added too

it piles up

[quartz kindle]

for example, if you put accumulator + currentItem in the do something part, then if accumulator is 0 and item is 5, then the accumulator becomes 5. so when the next item comes, let say the next item is 6, the next step will be 5 + 6, and the accumulator becomes 11, so the third item comes, lets say its 10, it will do 11 + 10, and the value will become 21

exactly

[eternal flame]

its like im learning math all over again lol

im just gonna call you mrs. baily now

jk

ok but

[quartz kindle]

so to do this with guilds

when you do client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, item) => do something, 0)

the item, is a guild

not a number

but the guild contains a .memberCount property

which is what we want

so you simply do accumulator + item.memberCount

[eternal flame]

wait

so

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, membercount) => do something, 0)

oer

or*

wiat nop

wait no

servers would go there right?

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => do something, 0)

[quartz kindle]

it doesnt matter what you write there, its just a name

[eternal flame]

oh

[quartz kindle]

the item is always going to be a guild

[eternal flame]

OH

OH

ok

[quartz kindle]

because you're doing reduce on the guilds.cache

[eternal flame]

ok

so

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => do something, 0)

what would

go into the do something

[quartz kindle]

in the above case, servers would be 1 guild

the current guild being done something do

[eternal flame]

that

[quartz kindle]

and all guilds have a .memberCount property

[eternal flame]

so

wait

so we

go through each guild individually

get the member count

add that to the acc.

and then

[quartz kindle]

exactly

[eternal flame]

oh

would that just be

like

client.guilds.cache.size = servers

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => do something, 0)

[quartz kindle]

nope

[eternal flame]

ASJKGHGUFSDKHJKHFDDJSFF

[quartz kindle]

you dont need servers at all

[eternal flame]

wait

[quartz kindle]

whatever you write in there

[eternal flame]

what?

[quartz kindle]

its just a name

doesnt mean anything

[eternal flame]

ok

[quartz kindle]

you could write a instead of servers

doesnt matter

[eternal flame]

hm

ok so im gonna put servers in there for now

where do we determine the amount of guilds to go through

or does it

determine that auto.

[quartz kindle]

guilds.cache is a list of guilds

something like [guild1,guild2,guild3,etc...]

[eternal flame]

so it by default

caches

every guild?

[quartz kindle]

when you do .reduce on it, it does it to all of them

yes

[eternal flame]

oh

ok

so

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => do something, 0)

the accumulator

would be 0 right

[quartz kindle]

yes

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((0, servers) => do something, 0)

?

[quartz kindle]

no

[eternal flame]

[quartz kindle]

the beginning of the function is where you define the names

it doesnt matter what you write

[eternal flame]

wait so

[quartz kindle]

could be (accumulator, item) => or (a,b) =>

[eternal flame]

is

[quartz kindle]

its just a placeholder name

[eternal flame]

oh

oh

oh

oh

okay

[high summit]

[quartz kindle]

what matters is how you use it inside the do something part

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => do something, 0)

we have this so far

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => a complicated way of saying add it all, right?, 0)

[quartz kindle]

more like, an easy way of saying add the current item to the accumulator

[earnest phoenix]

<What does that 0 at the end doing there>

[quartz kindle]

the initial value

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => current item?,0)

[quartz kindle]

in the above case, servers would be the current item

thats the name you gave it

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers, 0)

:O

[quartz kindle]

that will make the accumulator become the item

[eternal flame]

shit

[quartz kindle]

almost there

[eternal flame]

was the servers good wher eit was?

servers, 0

or is that the bad thing

[quartz kindle]

no, its correct

just add the accumulator there as well

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers, accumulator, 0)

[quartz kindle]

no

you want to add them up

how do you do addition?

[eternal flame]

omg

wait

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + acc?, 0)

[quartz kindle]

yes

[eternal flame]

OH

im big brain

[quartz kindle]

but still theres something missing

[eternal flame]

[quartz kindle]

because the current item is a guild, not a number

they types dont match, they cant be added together

[eternal flame]

so

are we supposed to convert it to a number?

[quartz kindle]

you want to get the memberCount from it

[earnest phoenix]

No, guild has a memberCount

Just map them if you want

[eternal flame]

where would membercount go

[quartz kindle]

memberCount is a property of guild

if a = guild then memberCount would be a.memberCount

[eternal flame]

where would that goooo

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + a.membercount?, 0)

[quartz kindle]

you named your guild servers not a

[eternal flame]

dshigbgdfjkhkjgdfl

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + servers.membercount?, 0)

[quartz kindle]

now you removed the accumulator

[eternal flame]

h

[earnest phoenix]

Both are required

Both with the memberCount property

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + a.servers.membercount?, 0)

[earnest phoenix]

Bruh

[quartz kindle]

that makes no sense

a doesnt exist

[eternal flame]

then

wait

would acc go in place of a?

or

wait

cgnb mkfgjsnbfsdg

[quartz kindle]

put the accumulator back

[sudden geyser]

This may be helpful https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/reduce

[earnest phoenix]

Bruh

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + a.servers.membercount?, accumulator, 0)

[earnest phoenix]

No

Bruh

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[eternal flame]

hh

[sudden geyser]

this is painful and fun to watch

[quartz kindle]

you were almost there, now you're fucking it all up

[eternal flame]

TAKE A STEP BACK

[earnest phoenix]

Just do a fuck go back

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + acc, 0)

[quartz kindle]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

And add memberCount property to both

[amber fractal]

not both

[quartz kindle]

not both

[earnest phoenix]

Nani

[eternal flame]

now is just the stage where you move something around till it works

[amber fractal]

accumulator will be a number

[eternal flame]

LOL

[slender thistle]

servers is the item itself, right?

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + acc, something here, 0)

[amber fractal]

servers is one guild

[slender thistle]

Nope

[quartz kindle]

no commas

[eternal flame]

f

[earnest phoenix]

Hello everyone, tell me do you know how we can do to see the number of servers in which our bot is (mentioned me if you knew please)?

[quartz kindle]

leave the commas as they are

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + acc, something here 0)

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix

<Client>.guilds.cache.size```

[quartz kindle]

leave the 0 as it is

[eternal flame]

so remove soemthing here

[quartz kindle]

what matters is whats between => and ,

everything else is correct

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix good ^^

[eternal flame]

oh

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) sumthin => servers + acc, 0)

[quartz kindle]

no

[earnest phoenix]

Uhh

Bruh

[eternal flame]

f

[quartz kindle]

i said everything else is correct

[earnest phoenix]

Remove sumthin

[eternal flame]

take a step back, i must

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + acc, 0)

is what i have

[quartz kindle]

yes

[eternal flame]

like i said

[quartz kindle]

that is correct, the only problem is that servers is a guild, and accumulator is a number

[slender thistle]

You'd need to edit the servers that's after =>

[eternal flame]

this is the stage where you move shit around until you get lucky and it works

[sudden geyser]

noop

[quartz kindle]

but because servers is a guild, it has a .memberCount property you can access

[slender thistle]

There's no need to move shit around

[eternal flame]

ok

so

do something]

that turns

servers into a number

or

no

[quartz kindle]

servers is a guild

all guilds have a .memberCount

[eternal flame]

[quartz kindle]

so how do you get the member count from a guild?

[eternal flame]

uh

wiat

wait

i got this

[earnest phoenix]

[eternal flame]

guild.memberCount

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[quartz kindle]

exactly

[slender thistle]

Almost

[eternal flame]

SHIVACO I HATE YOU

[slender thistle]

Well, it's not literally guild

[quartz kindle]

now your guild is called servers because you gave it that name

so what do you have to do?

[eternal flame]

servers.memberCount

[quartz kindle]

bingo

[eternal flame]

jhk;fgdbajklo;fgdbajlkbf;dsfgdsjkl;

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers + acc, 0)

so

we take

servers.memberCount

and put it

where

[quartz kindle]

inside the => ,

[eternal flame]

replace servers with it or keep everything and just do servers.memberCount + etc + etc, 0

[quartz kindle]

replace servers with it

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((accumulator, servers) => servers.memberCount + acc, 0)

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[quartz kindle]

yes

now just name the accumulator properly

[eternal flame]

sweating

[earnest phoenix]

You can name it a

[quartz kindle]

Lol

[earnest phoenix]

Lmao

[eternal flame]

uh

okay

i feel like

i should think about what to name it

like its my newborn child

client.guilds.cache.reduce((steven, servers) => servers + acc, 0)

[honest perch]

Learning time with tim

[quartz kindle]

most people just name it (a,b)

i personally name it (a,t)

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((hoarder, servers) => servers.memberCount + servers + hoarder, 0)

[quartz kindle]

why the extra servers

[eternal flame]

oh

[earnest phoenix]

You don't need the servers +

[eternal flame]

client.guilds.cache.reduce((hoarder, servers) => servers.memberCount + hoarder, 0)

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[quartz kindle]

yes very good

[eternal flame]

😎

so

[quartz kindle]

now you can give all of that to a variable

[eternal flame]

so

[quartz kindle]

let totalMembers = all of that

[eternal flame]

var piece_of_shit_that_took_me_an_hour = client.guilds.cache.reduce((hoarder, servers) => servers.memberCount + hoarder, 0)

[quartz kindle]

yup

[eternal flame]

alr

[earnest phoenix]

Yes lol

[quartz kindle]

and it must be inside the ready event

otherwise the list of guilds is empty

[earnest phoenix]

Yea, lmao

[slender thistle]

I'll kindly yell at you for using snake case in JS

[honest perch]

Now tim

[sudden geyser]

What_About_This

[honest perch]

Teach me all of react in 10 seconds

[quartz kindle]

i cant beliebe i just spent an hour on this

[slender thistle]

Well you're permamuted now Tim

[quartz kindle]

missing a comma

[eternal flame]

ik

just making sure tbats right

[quartz kindle]

yes

[slender thistle]

you forgot a comma after- eh fuck phone

[quartz kindle]

except

your client

you named it bot

[honest perch]

Who doesnt do that

[eternal flame]

yes

anyways

[quartz kindle]

so you have to adapt

[eternal flame]

kets fuckin go

pog

[quartz kindle]

nice

[earnest phoenix]

[honest perch]

Tim

[earnest phoenix]

Whats the domain? @eternal flame

[quartz kindle]

@honest perch i dont know react >.>

[eternal flame]

localhost moment 😳

[honest perch]

How can we make sure Tim really isn't the creator of javascript

[eternal flame]

i still need to port the thingy

[spare coyote]

Who doesnt do that
@honest perch
i do i named my client, client

[earnest phoenix]

[eternal flame]

iim just working on getting it set up rn

[quartz kindle]

i name my client client as well

because... its the original name

[eternal flame]

iim making an api

[quartz kindle]

its like naming link link when playing zelda

you even get an extra heart for it

[honest perch]

I name it "thisisjustelectronbutdiscordversionsoramgobrrrr"

[sonic lodge]

wait really

[faint prism]

@quartz kindle It auto changed to a double

Weird. The website has Int64, but the Compass client doesn't

[honest perch]

Who uses 64

[faint prism]

People with ulongs

[slender thistle]

storing IDs as strings gang

[faint prism]

No way

[quartz kindle]

but isnt double supposed to be for decimals? doesnt make sense to use double for ints

[faint prism]

Yeah, idk

[quartz kindle]

i tried compass once and didnt like it

tbh i didnt like any of mongo

i prefer sqlite

[faint prism]

It seems less weird than MongoDB imo

Isn't NoSQL supposed to be better though?

[honest perch]

Depends on preference

[slender thistle]

I heard PostgreSQL is very efficient compared to the rest

but I like mongo because it's NoSQL and I just like fucking my JSONs up

[quartz kindle]

there are pros and const to both styles

nosql received a lot of hype but people are kinda finding out its not that great after all

the popularity of sql is going up again

[slender thistle]

I mean, I don't use NoSQL for its popularity really

And I kind of see why it's that way

[gray finch]

anyone know how to use style on top.gg ?

it seems that css is not working

i'm trying to use style on this part of the site

to change the white color to another

[eternal flame]

how does one port forward LOL

google isnt being nice

[gray finch]

you login to your router

[eternal flame]

i mean i got it successfully forwarded

but

its not

accessable

from anywhere else

aand idk what to do

its still a local boy

[slender thistle]

Firewall

[gray finch]

you need router id and password as far as i know

if you managed to set a port forward from your router pannel

[solemn latch]

Happy cake day shiv

[gray finch]

then you have to go to firewall and make sure that the specific program has allowed traffic trough your firewall

[eternal flame]

wait

so

i go off of att interne

an im using port 3000

for an api

is that

a good thing

[gray finch]

i think you can go with any port, if it's not used by something else

[eternal flame]

ok so

its still

its stuck on local still

uh

its not

public

im using a rasp pi and it wotn let me in

[gray finch]

check firewall settings

[rustic nova]

get your ip from https://whatsmyip.org

dont post it here though lmao

[eternal flame]

im noyt

LOL

ok so

like i said

im att wifi

whihc is

garbage

[rustic nova]

btw keep it one message

[eternal flame]

prob good idea

[rustic nova]

what model do you have?

[eternal flame]

fuck

lemme check

[rustic nova]

if you don't have access to your router's settings, then you're pretty much at a dead immediately

[gray finch]

how do you customize these things on top.gg ? anyone know ?

[rustic nova]

css

[eternal flame]

BGW210-700

[rustic nova]

<style> tags on your long description

[eternal flame]

i have access to the router stuff

[rustic nova]

https://www.att.com/support/article/u-verse-high-speed-internet/KM1215101/

[gray finch]

i did something like

<style type="text/css">
.class1 {
}
</style>
<body>
<p class=class1> test </p>
</body>

and it's not working

[eternal flame]

what protocol would i use

for an api

[earnest phoenix]

https

[eternal flame]

f

[rustic nova]

i did something like

<style type="text/css">
.class1 {
}
</style>
<body>
<p class=class1> test </p>
</body>

and it's not working
@gray finch use <style> only, not <style type="text/css">

[earnest phoenix]

that's not the issue either

that's invalid html

[rustic nova]

yeah

[gray finch]

ok , but how do i get buttons class name, to customize them

[rustic nova]

inspect element

[eternal flame]

@earnest phoenix

im talking about

protocol as in

[gray finch]

big brain

[eternal flame]

tcp/udp

[rustic nova]

big brain
@gray finch nah i'm fr, inspect element is the best way to go, it can give you all the class names for the buttons and stuff

[earnest phoenix]

https is tcp though

[eternal flame]

oh

im dujb

[earnest phoenix]

unda

[rustic nova]

this is one of the reasons why i don't host on windows

[eternal flame]

im dying in pain

istg

what would be better to host from?

[rustic nova]

vps

[eternal flame]

whats that

[earnest phoenix]

hg vps

[eternal flame]

i

what

which VPS

what VPS

[rustic nova]

any

[eternal flame]

how VPS

[rustic nova]

where vps

[earnest phoenix]

vps that has fast latency

[eternal flame]

i want to

host an api

i mean

it can already grab the data

but

meh

fuck it

[earnest phoenix]

i want to make it so if the user has the role already and you say !role it removes it instead of adding the role

this is my code:

@client.command(pass_context=True) @commands.has_permissions(administrator=True) async def role(ctx, user: discord.Member, role: discord.Role): if role in roles: await user.remove_roles(role) else: await user.add_roles(role) await ctx.send(f"{user.name} has been given {role.name}")

[rustic nova]

check if that user has the role, if it doesn't, add it

vise versa

[earnest phoenix]

yeah but instead of making a whole command on removing roles

i want to make it one command to remove and add roles

do you get me @rustic nova

[slender thistle]

if role in user.roles:
remove
else:
add

[rustic nova]

[earnest phoenix]

how i can unban in the event on_message? discordpy

[faint prism]

@earnest phoenix https://stackoverflow.com/questions/48103177/how-to-unban-a-user
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api.html#discord.Client.unban

[slender thistle]

unban whom

[earnest phoenix]

how do i make @command.cooldown convert to hours

        await client.unban(message.guild, client.get_user_info(722594354576883762))

i made a daily command

if used collects coins once a day

and basically ahs a day cooldown

[slender thistle]

Well

[earnest phoenix]

you should probably store long term cooldowns in a database in case the process dies for whatever reason

[slender thistle]

discord.Object(id=your_needed_ID_here) to avoid an unnecessary API request

and use message.guild.unban without passing the guild again as an argument

[earnest phoenix]

uhhh

[earnest phoenix]

@slender thistle Hey tell me how do we get the Bot Developer rank?

dont work @faint prism

AttributeError: 'Client' object has no attribute 'unban'

[slender thistle]

@earnest phoenix An approved bot on top.gg

[faint prism]

So client is going to be your discord client object variable

[slender thistle]

@earnest phoenix #development message

[faint prism]

Shiv probably knows more than me about this ^

[slender thistle]

Use message.guild.unban and pass it an instance of discord.Object

[earnest phoenix]

discord.Object(id=id_member)?

@slender thistle
ok and my bot gets tested when the shots?

[slender thistle]

id_member being ID of the member, yeah

[earnest phoenix]

thx

[slender thistle]

@earnest phoenix I'm not sure what you mean, but bot revies currently takes 3 weeks or more

[earnest phoenix]

wtf? https://i.imgur.com/xihVIRp.png

3 weeks 😱🥶

[full widget]

wtf

[slender thistle]

What the fuck is that

[faint prism]

Did you type something instead of when you meant to make it a string?
What's a command in python? lol

[slender thistle]

how do you even get that

It's just python(3) some_file.py so idk how they got that

[earnest phoenix]

@slender thistle work

thx

[slender thistle]

magic of assumptions and there we go

[earnest phoenix]

is a stupid question but, how i can do a .then() in python?

[eternal flame]

someone teach me how to port forward

im dumb

[slender thistle]

Well

a = stuff()

do stuff with a

[uneven estuary]

Henloo, so I changed from hosting on glitch to locally hosting my bot but for some reason, even after installing all the packages required, im getting a MessageEmbed is not defined error when its a global variable in the file. I tried to use a different command that used embed and it worked. I'm using discord.js v12.
Here is where my code isnt working ( i removed the link bc well ouo )
and I would like to say that i didnt change anything in the code when i started hosting locally. It was working fine on glitch.
please @ me if someone answers thank you

[sonic lodge]

@fleet hornet is there an error

[rustic nova]

@uneven estuary what discord.js version?

[uneven estuary]

v12

[eternal flame]

someone teach me how to port forward
im dumb

tried that

[rustic nova]

https://github.com/discordjs/discord.js/releases/tag/12.0.0

[eternal flame]

doesnt work

[rustic nova]

Some things were changed about the MessageEmbed, correct me if i'm wrong

[eternal flame]

im making an api

and right now

its local host

i want it to be a public

att

[earnest phoenix]

you're asking to be ddos'd

[eternal flame]

BGW210-700

[rustic nova]

just use some kind of tunnel

[eternal flame]

idfk how

lol

[earnest phoenix]

don't expose a port on your home ip lol

people will either fry your router or dox you

[sonic lodge]

@fleet hornet does the embed send?

[uneven estuary]

Some things were changed about the MessageEmbed, correct me if i'm wrong
@rustic nova im not sure but it was working fine on glitch

[eternal flame]

prob

[rustic nova]

better yet, don't even host locally, just get a vps

[humble gyro]

i have port 80 exposed uwu

[rustic nova]

ofc

@uneven estuary that's the only thing i remember back then, that RichEmbed was changed to MessageEmbed or smth

[sonic lodge]

i have a feeling something else other than your logging code is causing the restart

[uneven estuary]

that's the only thing i remember back then, that RichEmbed was changed to MessageEmbed or smth
@rustic nova yeah

[eternal flame]

is it okay for me to expose port 80

How i fix?

this chat hurts

it just hurts

[solemn latch]

The font ahhh

[earnest phoenix]

why not just debug and see what is actually going on instead of guessing

if you're running with the debugger in vsc for example

that doesn't do much if you don't have breakpoints

log at points and try catch

/ or place a brakepoint

breakpoint*

how do i send hi marked text in discor dpy

what have you tried

i want to make it so the bot sends marked text

what have you tried

well

**

**

-_-

have you tried actually using the same syntax as you do as an user

yes

which is a logic step in every normal humans brain

like sending **hi**

yeaah

my bad

i'm stupid -_-

you are.

[solemn latch]

Wow, gottem

[earnest phoenix]

are you sure about that

or that you don't have multiple instances turned on

the message that was deleted wasn't in cache, so it has no properties at all. when you delete a message, all discord gives is the message id in the event, nothing else, the libs pull other relevant data from cache

hm

`@client.command(aliases=['with'])
@commands.cooldown(1, 5, commands.BucketType.user)
async def withdraw(ctx,amount = None):
await open_account(ctx.author)
if amount == None:
await ctx.send("please enter the amount!")
return

bal = await update_bank(ctx.author)
amount = int(amount)
if amount>bal[1]:
    await ctx.send("you don't have that much money!")
    return
if amount<0:
    await ctx.send("amount must be positive!")
    return
    
await update_bank(ctx.author, amount,)
await update_bank(ctx.author, -1*amount, "bank")

await ctx.send(f'you withdrew {amount} coin(s)!')`

how do i make it so if i say .withdraw all, it takes everything out of the wallet. instead of typing the numbers you have in your wallet

[slender thistle]

There's the option of doing if amount == "all":

[snow urchin]

        let votes = client.fetch("https://top.gg/api/bots/480421483575902208/votes", {headers: {Authorization: process.env.DBL}}).then(res => res.json())
          .then(json => {
            let voters = [... new Set(json.map(x => x.id))];
            return voters.map(x => {
              return {voter: x, count: json.filter(x => x.id == x).size}
            })
          }), numer = 0;

          message.channel.send(

              .setDescription(

                  : "Nobody has voted yet!"
              )
          )

Why does this return the "Nobody has voted yet?"

wait im dumb

nvm

[sudden geyser]

yeah it returns a promise

[dire obsidian]

Stats should be a owner command or public command?

[solemn latch]

Depends what stats

[dire obsidian]

Ram, cpu, users, server count

[snow urchin]

        client.fetch("https://top.gg/api/bots/480421483575902208/votes", {headers: {Authorization: process.env.DBL}}).then(res => res.json())

                )
            )
          })

[dire obsidian]

maybe you dont make that..

just i say

maybe

[snow urchin]

Ok I got somewhere
https://i.callumdev.pw/0y7sp.png

[sudden geyser]

Why are you even making a raw string to then be parsed into an object with Object?

[snow urchin]

dw fixed that, infact https://i.callumdev.pw/rflz1.png

[sudden geyser]

nice

[snow urchin]

ya

well its sorta fixed

i am on it twice?

updated code block above

3 times actually

[pale vessel]

here's how i'd do it:```js
const formatted = {};

votes.map(voter => formatted[voter.id] ? formatted[voter.id]++ : formatted[voter.id] = 1);```

formatted would look like { "id": 10, "moreid": 4 }

so in the embed, you can use Object.entries(formatted) and map them however you like

[snow urchin]

great formatted https://i.callumdev.pw/6qkmg.png

[pale vessel]

nice

[snow urchin]

mhm

very helpful indeed

[pale vessel]

lol

mine returned {"590455379931037697":7,"373657230530052099":10}

[snow urchin]

yours is done differently then

[pale vessel]

the votes are from the same endpoint, hmm

[karmic compass]

does anyone know how to fetch data from a JSON file in javascipt? i know how to use requests in python but i don't know how to convert it into javascript (btw im using https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search and want to fetch "url" when a user types in a command in discord)

oh where did that come from

uh

[pale vessel]

you'd want to parse the json response

can't help, sorry

there should be plenty of tutorials online

[karmic compass]

okay

after some short time spent on google i know how to do actually most of the things except for grabbing the JSON file from the website

[pale vessel]

ah, can't you use the request module?

get the response from the API and parse it as JSON

[karmic compass]

i know var jsonFile = "{"name":"hi"}"
var ojb = JSON.parse(jsonFile)

consoel.log(ojb.name)

i cant figure out how to get jsonFile to be equal to https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search

[pale vessel]

that's javascript

[karmic compass]

yes

was it too confusing?

i meant to say i know how to do it in python but i want it in javascript

sorry if i came across as confusing

[pale vessel]

oh haha

[karmic compass]

lmao, i do that too much

[pale vessel]

do you use a package for requesting?

[karmic compass]

wdym,

[pale vessel]

e.g. axios and node-fetch

[karmic compass]

i haven't actually gotten into any of these,

i got as far as the other thing, i don't know what package/how to use it

[pale vessel]

you should get one of those packages to make things easier

[karmic compass]

alr ill install node-fetch

[pale vessel]

good choice, i use node-fetch too

[surreal notch]

I want help in my website i wanted that if someone press a button in my website then it should then my discord bot should send a particular message in my server that this person have pressed this button i cant understand how to attach website with bot.

[karmic compass]

npm install node-fetch?

hm

[pale vessel]

yes

an example in node-fetch would be const obj = await fetch("endpoint").then(x => x.json());

basically, it converts the response to a parsed object

[surreal notch]

https://discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/741496501376909372 ?

[pale vessel]

you can access obj.url that way

[karmic compass]

how do i use node fetch? const fetch = require('node-fetch')

[pale vessel]

sure

[karmic compass]

sorry if i'm asking a lot of questions

[pale vessel]

nono

you're nice

[karmic compass]

aw thank you

anyways so after i get that fetch, const obj = await fetch( what is endpoint? https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search ?

[solemn latch]

The button should send a request to an api that has acess to your bot @surreal notch

[pale vessel]

yeah, that's the endpoint

[solemn latch]

Which can then send a message in a channel

[karmic compass]

then parse obj, and then we're good?

[surreal notch]

I m actually noob in backend

[pale vessel]

mhmm

[karmic compass]

woah

that was fast

[pale vessel]

node-fetch is cool

[karmic compass]

also btw

if i do function(message) {

will that work with await or do i have to require async?

[pale vessel]

you'd want to add the async keyword, so async function(message)

that way you can use await

[karmic compass]

okay

[surreal notch]

@solemn latch and how the button can send a request

[pale vessel]

there's always .then but it might make your code look wonky

[surreal notch]

i m trying this first time

[harsh moon]

What is the function for creating a role because createRole does not work

discord.js

[pale vessel]

<role manager>.create in v12

[harsh moon]

?

so how would I use that?

what is the role manager

[pale vessel]

role manager would be for example, message.guild.roles

[harsh moon]

ok

[pale vessel]

you should read docs though

[harsh moon]

but create was not working either

I tryed both commands

sorry functions

[pale vessel]

you might have messed up the structure

[harsh moon]

let me send it

[solemn latch]

@surreal notch https://stackoverflow.com/a/16036129

[pale vessel]

ah, too lazy to send link

[harsh moon]

did I mess up?

[pale vessel]

what version are you on?

[harsh moon]

uhh idk

let me check

whats the command again>

[karmic compass]

so i got an error

=

[pale vessel]

Discord.version

can you show the code?

[karmic compass]

yes

[harsh moon]

cmd not found

[pale vessel]

oh, try npm ls discord.js

[karmic compass]

    if(message.content == 'y!cat') {
        const obj = await fetch("https://api.thecatapi.com/v1/images/search").then(x => x.json())
        const catURL = JSON.parse(obj)
        const catEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
         .setColor('0dff00')
         .setTitle('Meow!')
         .setImage(catURL.url)
        message.channel.send({embed:catEmbed})
    }

[harsh moon]

k

enpty

[sonic lodge]

you don't need to parse it agian, it's already json

[pale vessel]

you don't need to parse it again, response.json() does it for you

[harsh moon]

empty

[sonic lodge]

jinx

[karmic compass]

lmfao

kk

[harsh moon]

it said empty 😐

[pale vessel]

xd

[surreal notch]

@solemn latch Thanks

[solemn latch]

Np

[pale vessel]

you can use console.log(require("discord.js").version)

[harsh moon]

ok found it

[pale vessel]

o you're still on v11

[harsh moon]

how do I update?

[karmic compass]

Hmm, it doesnt show what game I am playing. 🤔 Can someone help me?

not an essay

[harsh moon]

@pale vessel its still telling me its not a function

[karmic compass]

oh you already pinged him

was going to do it but ig hes offline

[pale vessel]

try debugging

console.log(obj)

[karmic compass]

oh apparently obj.url is undefined, i logged it to my console and it gave me "undefined"

yeah

imma see just obj

gotta wait for it to update

[harsh moon]

flazepe it still tells me its not a function and I updated

[pale vessel]

createRole is v11 code

[harsh moon]

yeah I did both

same err

[karmic compass]

okay, so, this is obj

[pale vessel]

it's an array

how would you access the first index of an array?

[karmic compass]

oh uh

[pale vessel]

say obj is an array

[karmic compass]

args[0]

bno

obj[0]?

[pale vessel]

yeah
