@earnest phoenix here's a simple bot setup you can use ๐
#development
shy turret
// Note: I highly recommend using a command handler instead which you can find here: https://discordjs.guide/command-handling/
const prefix = "!"; // Set a variable called "prefix" to "!"
const fs = require('fs'); // It opens up the "fs" module. The "fs" module lets you manage files.
const Discord = require('discord.js'); // "discord.js" is a module (https://discord.js.org/) for Javascript that lets you make Discord bots.
const client = new Discord.Client(); // This makes a "client" which would be the "(bot) user"
client.on('ready', () => { // When the bot turns on,
console.log('Bot is ready!'); // Sends the message "Bot is ready!" to the console
});
client.on('message', message => { // When there is a new message,
try { // This checks for any errors
if (message.content.startsWith(prefix) && message.content !== prefix) { // If the message starts with the prefix and the message is not just the prefix,
let cmd = message.content.toLowerCase().slice(prefix.length).split(' ')[0]; // This gets the command name. "message.content" is the "message". ".toLowerCase()" makes the message lowercase. ".slice(prefix.length)" removes the prefix from the message. The ".split(' ')" makes the variable into an array which looks something like > ["hello", "this", "is", "part", "of", "the", "command"] < and "[0]" gets the first part of the array. So it would be like getting only "hello" from the array ["hello", "this", "is", "part", "of", "the", "command"].
if (cmd == "help") { // If the command is "help", (so the message should be "!help")
message.channel.send("Hi."); // The Discord bot replies back the message "Hi."
};
};
} catch(err) { // If there is any errors, it sets the variable "err" as the error.
console.log(err); // This sends the error variable.
};
});
client.login("token here"); // I think you know how to get this. You can get this on "https://discord.com/developers" by creating a new application and making it a bot user.

solemn latch
shy turret
i was bored
odd lichen
solemn latch
Still against rules
shy turret
(wait it is?)
odd lichen
anyways back to my question? Is there a way to check if the bot reacted on the message with โ ?
shy turret
that's exactly 2048 characters i think
odd lichen
there probably is some way
shy turret
#development message just make it loop on a function
sudden geyser
Like if the bot was the one who added the reaction when the event was emitted, or who has reacted to it in total
misty sigil
shy turret
or make the number very long
solemn latch
shy turret
oof
odd lichen
two
shy turret
i dont even know if that code above works lmao
odd lichen
if the bot stops
it will reset everything
so i want it to be able to check in case bot randomly crashes
sudden geyser
I like how the try block won't even catch anything lol
odd lichen
well i would rather not fill up a database with useless data
i mean i could ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
but I dont see a point
shy turret
me well you can make the timer continue after...
bot restart
or something
wait i got an idea
shy turret
cant you just use the reaction event
odd lichen
im doing that ...
shy turret
and if the reaction is "โ"
solemn latch
Youd need partials
shy turret
and the message author is your bot
solemn latch
For non cached messages
shy turret
it deletes the message
odd lichen
but if the bot itself didnt react on it
i dont want the message to be deleted
you can probably check it somehow
shy turret
well if the reaction user is your bot (using ids), return;
solemn latch
Which is likly why your author is null
solemn latch
Message.member may also not be in the partials
shy turret
if the reaction user id is "bot id" return;
knotty steeple
i mean that is how our bot does reaction roles
solemn latch
Correct me if I'm wrong, but fetching the message again would give you the author
And all the reactions
odd lichen
hm
knotty steeple
it should
solemn latch
Since you only have the partial structure
shy turret
code?
odd lichen
maybe there should be multiple development channels to prevent cross posting xP
jolly wave
ok waiy
knotty steeple
the java script?
shy turret
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const Collection = require('discord.js');
oh
shy turret
line 1 and 3
shy turret
just use the same variable for it
pure lion
Imagine
{ peepee } = require ('pkg1')
{ poopoo } = require('pkg1')
shy turret
because Discord.Client() !== require("discord.js")
jolly wave
wdym two
odd lichen
hm
shy turret
@jolly wave you dont use the collection variable anyways
solemn latch
generally, you should know the basics of python before making a bot
jolly wave
so
earnest phoenix
๐
jolly wave
the ram,usercount,and servercount,members command are not working
solemn latch
whats with the weird formatting
solemn latch
your a vsc user right?
right click, format document
shy turret
jolly wave
i can't
knotty steeple
holy shit holy shit
solemn latch
also, so many vars
knotty steeple
that code makes me cry
jolly wave
yes
solemn latch
dont use var, use let
knotty steeple
wtf
jolly wave
ok
solemn latch
only use var if you have a specific reason
knotty steeple
indent properly
jolly wave
i can't find it
knotty steeple
use a linter
solemn latch
right click
knotty steeple
please
jolly wave
ah
jolly wave
no
solemn latch
format document normalizes the way you format for you

you should look into switch cases

so i can do it for you

Many are heading problem like me
jolly wave
what is your client id

discord is toxic on mobile x)
cosmic kiln
yap i guess so
solemn latch
its specifically oauth2 on the app
pure lion
dickord.jsno
solemn latch
everything else works fine
cosmic kiln
from 1 week i having problem invite bot in server
solemn latch
yeah, im sure discord is aware of the issue and working on fixing it
pure lion
jolly wave
i still need help
opal plank
in-app mobile auth was in testing iirc
jolly wave
there is none

@cosmic kiln 14-27 days is the avarage response for tickets
cosmic kiln
Now this is frustrating me I can't invite bot I created new server for my friend
jolly wave
you can't invite what
solemn latch
discord mobile app doesnt let you use oauth2
solemn latch
even tho if you open a link on your browser it opens your discord app
jolly wave
@cosmic kiln dm me your client id on the bot app i'll create the link
cosmic kiln
use browser
@opal plank I used but it is still not working
jolly wave
e
solemn latch
he is not making a bot @jolly wave
opal plank
cosmic kiln
@jolly wave ok
solemn latch
he is trying to invite a bot that exists
jolly wave
oooooh
jolly wave
which bot are you trying to invite @cosmic kiln
opal plank
if that still doesnt work, load the browser in Desktop mode
jolly wave
time to play Minecraft
opal plank
bro
two things
you confusion what im saying
BROWSER
like chrome
mozilla
opera
solemn latch
chrome sends me to the discord app
opal plank
not the discord browser
solemn latch
any time any discord link is opened
opal plank
open in desktop
cosmic kiln
solemn latch
i dont think android one chrome has desktop mode
cosmic kiln
but again this page
opal plank
solemn latch
it was supported a few years back, but not anymore right?
opal plank
It dods
solemn latch
ANDROID ONE
opal plank
wrong
solemn latch
not android
solemn latch
are you on android? or android one
opal plank
tryitandsee
/shru[
its a feature from chrome, im confident it has in whatever platform you using
earnest phoenix
so this is the place to get a headache, I've only slept for 5 hours so we'll see how this goes
opal plank
cosmic kiln
misty sigil
so this is the place to get a headache, I've only slept for 5 hours so we'll see how this goes
@earnest phoenix yes it is
opal plank
@cosmic kiln First, hold click on the invite link. Then copy link. once you got that, go to CHROME and paste that link in the url bar. Make sure its in desktop site
ya'll overcomplicating this
its not a big deal
karmic compass
How do I check if something happened while trying to fetch API? For example if a user enters an invalid username, how do I check if it is infalid?
solemn latch
yeah, my android one phone doesnt support desktop mode, my s10 does
so the desktop mode solution will not work for everyone
opal plank
doesnt need to be in desktop
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/272764566411149314/741669682704154684/Screenshot_20200808-115018_Chrome.jpg

desktop and non desktop
both work just fine
the desktop is just to make sure its not redirecting to the app
karmic compass
Can anyone help with .catch? I was using it originally but it didnโt work for some reason, it only did the error message no matter what
karmic compass
An error*
opal plank
no shit
opal plank
you can either do a .catch or a try {} catch{} block
karmic compass
It was in a command that tried to dm a user, but I didnโt want the bot shutting down due to perms
opal plank
send the code you are trying to catch error
timid latch
owo cf all
earnest phoenix
@karmic compass send the code in a bin so we can see it
opal plank
you got unhandled rejections on strict? 
bold of you
not the WHOLE code
just the snippet of what you trying to catch
earnest phoenix
Yeah ^
pure lion
Yooo teaching my gf to code day one
karmic compass
Message.channel.send(โsuccessโ)
}).catch```you have a gf?
opal plank
||so you telling me that another porn bot is being produced @pure lion ?||
earnest phoenix
Uhh
shy turret
pure lion
you have a gf?
Why yes
pure lion
You can't reply to a message
opal plank
does dm's have channel?
earnest phoenix
How do you send an embed object in a send method
pure lion
That's all I'm giving
opal plank
i forgot if channel exists on dm's
opal plank
oh then ignore me
if it exists on dm its fine
@karmic compass https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/catch
karmic compass
Ok
opal plank
read this to see how catch works
earnest phoenix
msg.channel.send( embed: embed{ code of embed} );
that doesnt work
how can you send an embed like that
knotty steeple
wha
earnest phoenix
thanks
opal plank
shy turret
@earnest phoenix are you using discord.js or eris????
shy turret
if it is discord.js...
karmic compass
Wait, so if I defined my send message and dm commands in a function, then caught that, would it work?
earnest phoenix
i got it already but ty
shy turret
you can just use the embed builder
earnest phoenix
im stupid
shy turret
new Discord.MessageEmbed()
earnest phoenix
I GET IT
restive furnace
embed builders: ๐ฉ
embed object directly on the message: ๐
earnest phoenix
What I use all the time
opal plank
const embed = new Discord.EmbedBuilder();
embed.setImage();
embed.setDescription();
channel.send(embed)
// instead do this, rather than making new variables, calling builders, and adding methods
channel.send({embed: {
image: {
url: someUrl
},
description: ':)'
}})
I get the catch a little bit, how would I apply it to grabbing API? If it didnโt show โIdโ, how do I catch that?
restive furnace
i used ember builders like 2 mo. ago, thats how irmb
opal plank
wdym @karmic compass ?
karmic compass
Like
sudden geyser
embed builders can be helpful in a lot of case scenarios
they're just helpers after all. you don't need any helper really
opal plank
nothing that you just cant assign object
karmic compass
If I went to grab API for a username, and I wanted to check if it was valid, how do I do so?
opal plank
what the builder is doing is the same you'd be without calling the builder and sending a static object
@karmic compass how is your user being provideD? with args?
or via author?
karmic compass
Yes, via args
opal plank
so you are trying to do an api call with args
opal plank
okay next bit
once that catch fails with a rejection, you log ('Falied with '+ arg[0]) for example
since you are doing an api request with the argument, thats your input
karmic compass
Yeah
opal plank
you dont need to retrieve what argument is being error'ed on the rejection, since you know the input (aka, your argument)
karmic compass
Yes
opal plank
so, you still dont understand?
karmic compass
not really
opal plank
okay lets do this
karmic compass
Okay,
shy turret
https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/741675342024147095 im forced to do the second one cuz i use eri- oh wait i can just add require('discord.js') to my code
sudden geyser
ew
karmic compass
So:
opal plank
message.author.send('hi').catch((e:any) => { console.log(e) })
then use { embed: embed.toJSON() }
stiff stream
what is wrong here?
sudden geyser
Two why not just create your own builder
opal plank
that would make it so it would LOG the error itself
shy turret
i can
karmic compass
Okay so then if I add in another message.channel.send in there to say it failed, it would work?
stiff stream
what is wrong here?
opal plank
you got that bit @karmic compass ?
karmic compass
Yes
sudden geyser
or just ste-- I mean borrow the helper
shy turret
what's "PREFIX"?
solemn latch
whats not working
opal plank
so there are another way you can do this
stiff stream
im typing &help and it isnt sending
opal plank
this for example
solemn latch
sending what
stiff stream
the prefix is &
solemn latch
you never send anything in this code
shy turret
^
misty sigil
give us your full code
opal plank
try {
message.channel.send('hi')
} catch {}
preferably excluding token
shy turret
(dont give your token)
misty sigil
but if you wanna send that you're stupif
opal plank
this is the same example as the first, there isnt anything being caught
opal plank
what you can do tho, is tell it what to do with the error
stiff stream
i have it too
misty sigil
nice
shy turret
(faster than else ifs at least)
opal plank
try {
message.channel.send('hi')
} catch(err:any) {
console.log(err);
}
can you send full code
stiff stream
i got the command its not sending the message
opal plank
this is just showing you how you can handle errors/rejections
misty sigil
and not just ss
ancient nymph
opal plank
@karmic compass think you can go from there?
karmic compass
Probably, Iโll ping you if I run into anything
opal plank
aight
stiff stream
and not just ss
@misty sigil i will send everything that are connected to the prefix
misty sigil
send everything
stiff stream
stiff stream
bot.on('message', message =>{
if (message.channel.type == "dm") return
var args = message.content.split(" ").slice(1)
if(!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return
if(message.author.bot) return;
everything in the message event
silver dust
Error: Cannot find module './config.json'
solemn latch
why not just send everything you need to send at once
misty sigil
what do you think that means @silver dust
misty sigil
config.json doesn't exist in the same directory
stiff stream
everything in the message event
@misty sigil 500 lines.
misty sigil
hastebin
dense patio
<client>.users.fetch(<id>)
@sick cloud so i've updated to v12 but this just returns undefined
solemn latch
youve kinda reached the point where command files is beneficial
misty sigil
await it @dense patio
dense patio
alright
stiff stream
so someone know what to do?
misty sigil
hastebin
solemn latch
youve not given us enough to help
stiff stream
wdym?
misty sigil
then i can see the code
dense patio
nice, that worked. thanks a bunch
stiff stream
@misty sigil i will send one command.
misty sigil
ok.
stiff stream
opal plank
i dont mind pings but i mind DM's, so dont sweat about pinging me
oops
someone posted token
karmic compass
oaky so
stiff stream
why its not sending it here?
karmic compass
its giving me an error with err:any
opal plank
cuz you likely have your token in it @stiff stream
karmic compass
opal plank
well, you shouldnt copy my snippet
sinful belfry
@stiff stream it had an invite in it
karmic compass
oh ok
stiff stream
ik.
opal plank
cuz its Typescript not javascript
sinful belfry
and @gilded plank deletes invites from users without a role
you'll need to remove the invite from that code in order to send it
opal plank
in Typescript we gotta specify the Type of the variable we are declaring @karmic compass
karmic compass
yeah, fixed that
wanton iron
hey it must be a recurring question but I'm developing a music bot and at the moment the music doesn't end I must have made a mistake but I don't see what I thought you could help me with.
karmic compass
sinful belfry
@wanton iron wdym by 'it doesn't end'?
gleaming glen
user's dms are closed
opal plank
see that its blue and not red?
karmic compass
oh
opal plank
if you dont want the error, just void it
gleaming glen
you can just ignore that basically
karmic compass
how would i void an error?
misty sigil
return
karmic compass
this is the coding analogy of picking up the phone then dropping it
wanton iron
there is no sound coming out but the music is still considered as being played and it remains stuck in this state, it's often towards the end of the music.
opal plank
catch() /*nothing*/ {
//do stuff
}```@wanton iron are you using something like ytdl?
and are you getting any errors at all?
karmic compass
but lets say im doing API right, and im checking for the part "id", and then it isn't there, is there a way to catch that?
wanton iron
no errors and i'm using this
sinful belfry
ah ok
opal plank
you arent doing anything with API misterdepth
karmic compass
well not right now
opal plank
you are just doing stuff from emssage object
karmic compass
but back to the "verification" thing
sinful belfry
@wanton iron have you set the 'highWaterMark' option?
karmic compass
as this was where i was wanting to go after
opal plank
well yeah, i remember you saying that
we tgetting ya to understand how to handle rejections first
wanton iron
@sinful belfry nope never heard of that option
karmic compass
oh ok
opal plank
lemme get something more workable one sec
karmic compass
alright
btw heres my code rn (gives console error but im not logging)
try {
message.author.send('hi')
} catch (error) {
message.reply('a')
return
@sinful belfry nope never heard of that option
@wanton iron ok can you send the code of where you set the ytdl options please?
karmic compass
woah discord thanks for the lit organization
opal plank
that should get ya a gist of how handling rejections work
wanton iron
@sinful belfry I don't actually set it up, I just use it like this.
opal plank
a .catch() would work similarly
sinful belfry
the options that you set is the bit where you've written 'filter: 'audioonly'
try adding the highWaterMark and setting the value to 1<<25
karmic compass
that's pretty decent, i tried to recreate it here:
try {
theVariable.includes(theVariableIsntAnArray)
} catch {
console.log('AAAAAAA it isnt working')
}```woops
opal plank
you now should have 2 examples of how they work
sinful belfry
@harsh moon check if rnew is defined
wanton iron
@sinful belfry thanks i'll try
harsh moon
the let rnew should define it
opal plank
harsh moon
or do I have to do const?
harsh moon
it should though...
sinful belfry
just check to see
sudden geyser
are you forgetting to await .createRole
harsh moon
await should not be there
karmic compass
sudden geyser
why
harsh moon
it printed null and the role is not there @sinful belfry
solemn latch
oopsies is the best error to get
solemn latch
my libs all dont throw descriptive errors, they just say oopsies
harsh moon
ok..
sudden geyser
best error is "Oh, no!"
solemn latch
"shit happens"
harsh moon
like this?
sinful belfry
because you're making a request to discord's api, you need to wait for the request to be completed and fufilled to ensure the role has been properly created before you can add it to a user
yeah
harsh moon
ok
sinful belfry
it needs to be in an async block (if it isn't already)
earnest phoenix
For example:
Starting money---->$500
After i do work command it plus $50
How to do that?
How to do that?
misty sigil
database
radiant kraken
do you have database?
harsh moon
problem
radiant kraken
like mongoDB or SQL
earnest phoenix
do you have database?
@radiant kraken what?
sinful belfry
@harsh moon yep, make the block it is in async
earnest phoenix
Ad im at mobile btw
misty sigil
dont do it
solemn latch
pretty sure you can also set the created role to something and apply it directly
const newRole = await msg.guildcreateRole...
msg.member.addRole(newRole)
And*
misty sigil
without db
harsh moon
???
sonic lodge
async function func_name()
sinful belfry
so if it is in a function, put async function functionName for example
misty sigil
if not, use quick.db
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix do you know what database is?
@radiant kraken nope XD
solemn latch
its for storing data
sinful belfry
@misty sigil not helpful
earnest phoenix
Oh
solemn latch
even with the bot restarting
earnest phoenix
So i cant do it?
radiant kraken
what library?
sonic lodge
you can, implement a database
misty sigil
you can use quick.db
harsh moon
its not a defined function
misty sigil
that is easy for beginners
earnest phoenix
you can, implement a database
@sonic lodge how?
harsh moon
karmic compass
@opal plank i finally got something to work, i made it so if i want to throw an error in console.log i put (name) and it prints "un oh" in console, otherwise it prints whatever i put in the function!
sinful belfry
@harsh moon alternatively, you could just put everything after it into the .then()
radiant kraken
@sonic lodge how?
@earnest phoenix there are a lot of database to choose from, like SQL, quick.db, MongoDB, etc
harsh moon
ok
sonic lodge
there's lots of ways to set one up too
misty sigil
use something like sql, quick.db (simplest) or mongo
misty sigil
if you're starting i'd reccomend quick.db yea
radiant kraken
choose the simplest, duh
sinful belfry
choose the simplest, duh
@radiant kraken don't be rude. either help them or don't say anything
earnest phoenix
Im not good at this
misty sigil
what language
radiant kraken
sorry
earnest phoenix
How??
pure lion
*mongoose noises*
misty sigil
what language
earnest phoenix
what language
@misty sigil ??
misty sigil
what language are you developing in
earnest phoenix
English
pure lion
Are you js or py or developing a bot in another language for some reason
sudden geyser
Gruja what programming language
harsh moon
@sinful belfry im confused
misty sigil
send us some code
earnest phoenix
Im become confused
misty sigil
and we'll find it out for you
pure lion
English
sinful belfry
@harsh moon the .then needs to run a function
harsh moon
oh
pure lion
@harsh moon make it redefine a let or something
sonic lodge
what language = what programming language is your bot written in
sinful belfry
you you can do something like .then(() => {//put code to run here});
earnest phoenix
This might be long?
misty sigil
AH
sudden geyser
javascript
earnest phoenix
Ok
sonic lodge
that was documentation
misty sigil
thats literally stolen from the quick.db docs
radiant kraken
what library did you use?
earnest phoenix
Ohhh
harsh moon
how do I define a function in discord.js?
sinful belfry
you you can do something like
.then(() => {//put code to run here});
harsh moon
oh ok
sinful belfry
just put the code you want to run inside the curly brackets
that is called an arrow function
earnest phoenix
Uhh i confused now
sinful belfry
and it is run when the rolecreate is complete
misty sigil
ok what language are you developing in
as in programming language
send us code from your bot
solemn latch
how do you look at documentation if your unsure what language your bot is in
earnest phoenix
Token?
misty sigil
no
radiant kraken
no
harsh moon
everything is getting errors ๐
misty sigil
what is your code
earnest phoenix
Im still 15 and don't know about all of these because i never touch laptop or pc
solemn latch
you cant do catch on nothing

remove the semicolon right before .catch

aandmcpro the error is quite self-explanatory: the async keyword can only be used in an async function

@sinful belfry my code is saved there is no await I restarted my bot and it throws that err ๐
sinful belfry
it is probs from somewhere else then
harsh moon
line 199
sinful belfry
apply the same things as what i've told you
earnest phoenix
Or laptop
sinful belfry
it is probs from somewhere else then
harsh moon
console is snorting some real big stuff rn
thick gull
The console should log the line, no?
thick gull
is the file saved
earnest phoenix
Hello a doubt is that I have this code but when putting the prefix in discord it does not take the command, nothing appears neither in discord as in the console
harsh moon
console is high af rn
misty sigil
its discord.js 12 right?
earnest phoenix
v11
misty sigil
oh
thick gull
solemn latch
djs v11 is deprecated
earnest phoenix
what?
solemn latch
its no longer being maintained by the djs developers
and will stop working entirely in october
sinful belfry
@harsh moon double check your whole code
harsh moon
new error
sinful belfry
just ctrl + f for await
sinful belfry
is the role defined?
sonic lodge
right above that line i see console.log(rnew)
sinful belfry
what does the console.log say before it
sonic lodge
in the console it reads null
harsh moon
mhm
sonic lodge
and null is neither a role nor a snowflake
karmic compass
@opal plank i found a pretty good way to do the verification, what i did was i had it get the request for the api, and then i checked if(!id) which would say if it were valid or not. i've tested it out, it seems a pretty good way to go right now since i'm not totally getting the hang of .catch
harsh moon
it creates a new default role though ๐
opal plank
@karmic compass you pinging the api with the user?
harsh moon
seriously console has been smoking pot for the last 2 hours
misty sigil
you need to url encode that
karmic compass
how would this be done?
harsh moon
@sinful belfry it is not working and only creating a basic new role ๐
sonic lodge
put the url inside encodeURI()
opal plank
parseInt and typeOf
parse the argument
then check if its type is number
or NaN it
should also work
sinful belfry
@harsh moon what discord.js version are you using?
harsh moon
1.12.2
karmic compass
where would i put this in my code? i think i get it put i don't know at which part to put it in
sinful belfry
@harsh moon ah, because your code looks like v11
opal plank
before you send it to the api, you need to narrow down some cases that would be useless to be trying
use isNaN() to check if the argument is a number
harsh moon
I used v11 but then some kid said that my code was not working because of version
opal plank
or do the long way i told you with parseInt + typeOf
harsh moon
but then I found out why it was because I was creating the role on the wrong layer
@sinful belfry you got any ideas?
sinful belfry
so are you on v12 now?
harsh moon
yes
sinful belfry
ok so either downgrade your discord.js version to v11 (which i wouldnt recommend)
or upgrade your code to v12
main badge
How do you guys go about your premium commands
sinful belfry
this is a great guide
harsh moon
it is v12
sinful belfry
your code isnt
solemn latch
your djs version is v12, your code is v11
harsh moon
well how do I update the code?
main badge
faint prism
How do you guys go about your premium commands
@main badge I think people use roles in their support server
harsh moon

https://discordjs.guide/additional-info/changes-in-v12.html
@sinful belfry @harsh moon check this out
main badge
Ahh
sinful belfry
it should cover everything you need
harsh moon
..
main badge
@faint prism thatโs a cool idea
opal plank
beat me to it
karmic compass
woudl this work: ```javascript
if(!isNaN(args[0)) {
message.channel.send('This is not a valid name!')
} else {
//other code
}
and the old code works fine its the new code
karmic compass
thankyouverymuch
opal plank
noproblemo
sinful belfry
well it doesn't work fine @harsh moon because you're getting errors
harsh moon
the new code does not work fine like I said
sinful belfry
for example, the client.users.exists('username', 'Bob'); method is not used any more
harsh moon
all my old commands 100% functioning
faint prism
If NaN on commands args? Why
sinful belfry
client.users.cache.some(user => user.username === 'Bob'); it is now this
(which is covered in the guide)
harsh moon
Never used any of that
sinful belfry
so please take a read of it, i promise it will help
faint prism
What if it's a mention?
opal plank
he is doing minecraft calls
harsh moon
it wont though because it has no code examples for creating a role ๐
opal plank
wont work with mentions
faint prism
<@ID>
opal plank
it HAS to be type
faint prism
oh alright
faint prism
IDK what the command it either. Missing convo context lol
solemn latch
the djs user ID doesnt work for other api's
opal plank
earnest phoenix
Finally you didn't ask for spoonfeeding again
karmic compass
in order to test the new system anyone have a mc username they'd like to see the program run with?
earnest phoenix
Minecraft username???
solemn latch
i dont even know my own minecraft username
karmic compass
yes but that's boring since i've done it already
solemn latch
ngl
opal plank
harsh moon
wth do I do??? @sinful belfry
karmic compass
nice name
opal plank
i thought uuid's arent compatible with name
earnest phoenix
NauticalJeans84
opal plank
earnest phoenix
I hope cracked mc usernames work 
opal plank
if you testing for NaN it wont work if you providing a username
harsh moon
so I just do addRole()?
sinful belfry
@harsh moon to use .find correctly
karmic compass
uh
karmic compass
it's giving me an error now
solemn latch
yeah, itll pass the role
opal plank
your var is called uuid, a username isnt a uuid
solemn latch
then(rnew) => {}
sinful belfry
so .find(x => x.name === "Name of role"); for example
karmic compass
i was testing and
opal plank
i assumed the endpoint you touching is uuid only since your var is uuid
earnest phoenix
cache
solemn latch
solemn latch
but still, dont even need find
earnest phoenix
they added cache for all collections or only a few?
harsh moon
is there a wait function for discord.js?
solemn latch
await
harsh moon
but one that I can actually use ๐
solemn latch
why cant you use await?
djs uses promises a lot, you should have a firm understanding of promises before using djs
harsh moon
where do I use it ๐
lusty quest
read the section in the d.js guide about async / await
karmic compass
wait can i just ask a question about async / await
solemn latch
sure
karmic compass
when using await message.channel.send does that mean it will not execute any code after that until it has done that
lusty quest
yes but no
dire obsidian
commando allready have aawait action
args: [
{
key: 'text',
prompt: 'What gif would you like to watch?',
type: 'string',
validate: text => text.length < 50
}
]
no need a async i think
well on commando
lusty quest
or most Databases return a promise you have to await
dire obsidian
well yeah
lusty quest
if you use then its like awaiting the promise
solemn latch
your using then, rather than await. which is another way to handle async
dire obsidian
wow is rl easy commando, mabe a good start for the coders
earnest phoenix
pretty sure auto-correct won't automatically put autocorret
lusty quest
i dont use commando didnt know about it when i started. And when i knew it exist my knowledge was large enought to not need it
solemn latch
even if using commando, id recommend understanding promises before using djs
earnest phoenix
what is the worst way to make a command handler
thick gull
one that doesnโt work
lusty quest
tbh i dont know how to properly write async stuff when i started to code bots until i got into it more
earnest phoenix
The one I hate the most is case-sensitive if statements that don't have .toLowerCase()
solemn latch
async is kinda a pain, it feels really confusing at first
earnest phoenix
smh
dire obsidian
yep
solemn latch
then, when you understand it, its super simple
earnest phoenix
oh right
dire obsidian
run: async(message, args)
earnest phoenix
that's why i said smh
dire obsidian
smh
earnest phoenix
one that doesnโt work
@thick gull that's kinda an awesome answer but there are worse command hamdlers
F quote with ping
solemn latch
i have seen people load their commands for every alias, which i think is silly
solemn latch
^ honestly i feel thats the equivalent but with each file being unique
karmic compass
oh and btw does anyone know a good website hosting service that's free?
solemn latch
github pages
main oak
but it broke into 6 parts
delicate shore
karmic compass
@opal plank you there or should i stop pinging you now
