Guys who run music bots, how do you deal with the quota limit of the YouTube API?
opaque eagle
If you go to the settings of the heroku project, you'll see a button saying Reveal Config Args
click that and add a new arg called token
safe kelp
Okay
opaque eagle
I think that's it
forest jay
hey guys is there a way to get attachment from deleted message?¿
opaque eagle
Nah
earnest phoenix
Im trying to do the dog command but i have this error saying TypeError: Cannot read property 'send' of undefined?
opaque eagle
Discord doesn't allow people to view deleted images
Even if you try to go to the link on your regular web browser, you'll get an error
hazy sparrow
message.content.slice(prefix.length)
// hello foo bar lmao
// gets rid of the prefix
.trim()
// hello foo bar lmao
// removes any whitespace at the start and end
.split(/ +/);
// ["hello", "foo", "bar", "lmao" ]
// splits the string at each space```
@opaque eagle so args[1] should do the job
opaque eagle
Yeah
forest jay
Yeah i see
earnest phoenix
const fetch = require("node-fetch");

Guys who run music bots, how do you deal with the quota limit of the YouTube API?
@mystic tundra I'm breaking my head with this now that my bot is being used by a lot of people

@opaque eagle thank you so much sir
earnest phoenix
Oh
Now i have this error
ReferenceError: Cannot access 'fetch' before initialization
sonic lodge
fetch('something'); // ReferenceError
const fetch = require('node-fetch');```
sudden geyser
It means you tried using fetch before it was initialized, typically when you try defining a variable then set the value to the same name as it.
Show your code pls
earnest phoenix
Wait i have this: fetch("https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random")
const Discord = require("discord.js");
module.exports = {
name: 'dog',
description: 'This is a random command',
async execute(client, message, args) {

const json = await res.json();
const fetch = require("node-fetch");

.then(res => res.json())
.then(json => {
let embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()

.setImage(json.message)
.setFooter(`Awwww`);
message.channel.send(embed);
console.log(json.message)
console.log(json)

move your requires to the top of the file

okay

lol i read "oop, salad"
earnest phoenix
xD

my keyboard has been repeating keys twice for some reason
I think it's my fingers though
earnest phoenix
TypeError: Only absolute URLs are supported
sudden geyser
"api" is not a url
earnest phoenix
Ohh wait so i have to put a link there?
sonic lodge
yes, just like you did with js fetch("https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random") .then(res => res.json())
sonic lodge
no, just change "api" to the api's endpoint
const res = await fetch("https://dog.ceo/api/breeds/image/random");
sonic lodge
that means message.channel is undefined
earnest phoenix
How come
safe kelp
So js again
sonic lodge
i don't know, how are you calling the execute function?
earnest phoenix
Async execute?
safe kelp
But I can open a mail by using M?open (clientid)
sonic lodge
yes, where do you call this function
earnest phoenix
hmm
Here?
client.on('message', async message => {
let prefix = db.get(`prefix_${message.guild.id}`)
if (prefix === null) prefix = "h!";
if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return; //if the content does not start with the prefix or author is a bot
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(" ");
looking for .execute()
also you can condense ```js
let prefix = db.get(prefix_${message.guild.id})
if (prefix === null) prefix = "h!";
into
```js
let prefix = db.get(`prefix_${message.guild.id}`) || "h!";
if (fs.existsSync(commandFiles)) {
require(`./commands/${command}.js`).execute(message, args);
} else {
message.channel.send("error, not found");
}
this?
sonic lodge
yes, notice how you are only passing two variables into the execute function
misty sigil
why have an unknown command error 😩
sonic lodge
^
and alos, this is the function header for the dog command:
async execute(client, message, args) {
earnest phoenix
Oh so i miss out client?
sonic lodge
they don't match up
require(`./commands/${command}.js`).execute(message, args);
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^
async execute(client, message, args) {```@twilit rapids we got a spammer

Hi.
I wanna host my bot on heroku, so I wanna know where to store my discord bot token? I need to fetch it in my .js file on github, but can't really place token in some config file as it's visible to others.
Any help on this?
heroku has an env var section
you add there on site
Well that's cool then. Thanks
golden condor
@hazy sparrow toLowerCase is a function
hazy sparrow
oh
sonic lodge
is there a way to mathematically determine the winner in rock paper scissors
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix Is it under Settings->config vars?
misty sigil
just use if statements idk
sonic lodge
oof
earnest phoenix
its been awhile but i think so
sinful idol
@misty sigil can we do with API?
earnest phoenix
you add a key and value
misty sigil
no
earnest phoenix
yep
sinful idol
okey thank you
earnest phoenix
and do I need to install heroku package as well in my bot to fetch it?
i thi k you use process.env.VARIABLE
but you might wanna look it up
i javent hosted on heroku in a couple years
I just wanna host somewhere s I don't have to host locally and deal with express 😄
golden condor
express is really easy
earnest phoenix
yea...i been going with $5 digital ocean droplets...cuz the free heroku goes to sleep
for development phase sleep is alright

What's ball
earnest phoenix
i have a question...if i built a website that had discord oauth login option....could i login using any info provided from an active bot?
hazy sparrow
const ball = Math.floor(Math.random() * (3- 1 + 1) + 1)
sonic lodge
and what is args[1]
earnest phoenix
like use a bot token to be valid auth on my site
hazy sparrow
and what is
args[1]
@sonic lodgeconst args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/);
golden condor
No you have to login with an account
earnest phoenix
ok ty
sonic lodge
i'm just assuming args[1] is always going to be rps in your case
hazy sparrow
isnt rps args[0] or am i missing something?
golden condor
Do you shift the array?
hazy sparrow
umm no
hazy sparrow
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
this one?
earnest phoenix
why do i have undefined here?
golden condor
it's args[0]
earnest phoenix
what is the difference between String.slice() and String.split()
golden condor
@earnest phoenix because you don't set a value for the field
earnest phoenix
ohh
hazy sparrow
hmm so if i change it to args[2] will it work fine?
earnest phoenix
put \u200b
golden condor
@earnest phoenix .slice returns a string, .split returns an arr
earnest phoenix
if you want it blank
golden condor
@hazy sparrow change it to args[0]
hazy sparrow
okay
sonic lodge
if another issue like that comes up again just log args to see what the problem is
hazy sparrow
okay, ty for the help\
golden condor
"Hello".slice(1) //ello
"Hello". split ("") //["H", "e", "l", "l", "o"]
But can i leave the value empty?
golden condor
yes
earnest phoenix
@earnest phoenix .slice returns a string, .split returns an arr
@golden condor huh then why doesmessage.content.slice("/ /")[1]return the second word of the message instead of the second letter that usually happens in strings
golden condor
But it will show undefined
earnest phoenix
Oh okay
But can i leave the value empty?
@earnest phoenix uuse \u200b for blank fields
hazy sparrow
theres another problem now
earnest phoenix
it won't show undefined
hazy sparrow
hazy sparrow
ohhh
earnest phoenix
Oh thanks
hazy sparrow
waot
golden condor
@golden condor huh then why does
message.content.slice("/ /")[1]return the second word of the message instead of the second letter that usually happens in strings
@earnest phoenix because you used [1]
pale vessel
it does
earnest phoenix
and slice returns a string
misty sigil
it does
earnest phoenix
golden condor
slice returns a string yes
pale vessel
if you do it on an array it returns an array
golden condor
unless you slice an arr
sonic lodge
btw i found a mathematical way to find the winner of a rock paper scissors game:
// 0 = rock, 1 = paper, 2 = scissors
function result(p1, p2) {
if ((p1 + 1) % 3 === p2) {
return 'p2 wins';
} else if (p1 === p2) {
return 'draw';
} else {
return 'p1 wins';
}
}```ok?
pale vessel

sonic lodge
in case everyone wanted to condense their massive if statement blocks into one function
golden condor
My brain hurts

this is my code:
let args = message.content.substring("C-".length).slice("/ /");
// User: C-help doge

maybr
pale vessel
that just slices the first two characters
earnest phoenix
nvm i don't use slice in my code it was my dumbass brain who thought i did
i do use substring tho
golden condor
Why don't you just slice it I am confused lol
earnest phoenix
if you still wanna see my code:
Why don't you just slice it I am confused lol
@golden condor the prefix is also included in args[0] and i don't want that
that's my source
maybe that'll help
pale vessel
are you confused with slice and split?
timid terrace
Who have bot list server
earnest phoenix
timid terrace
İ need bot list
golden condor
@golden condor the prefix is also included in args[0] and i don't want that
@earnest phoenix use slice? It will still work?
pale vessel
what is the problem
earnest phoenix
no i mean i need to cut off the prefix from the message before splitting
golden condor
message.content.slice(2)

bruh why do u have coin miners on your site

just slice or substring and split

you

ok
well i do know more than that lmao, i can make simple console app on C
and smth

Smth weird happened today I has to parse json twice before it worked
let stringifiedSmth = JSON.stringify("{money: 1000}");
fs.writeFileSync("userData.json",stringifiedSmth);
let readDaFile = fs.readFileSync("userData.json");
console.log(readDaFile); // {"money": 1000}
let parsedSmth = JSON.parse(readDaFile);
console.log(parsedSmth); // undefined
parsedSmth = JSON.parse(readDaFile);
console.log(parsedSmth); // [object Object]
daddy i swear i don't use json for storing user data
earnest phoenix
for some reason it did that
is that a json db
@misty sigil smth I'm working on for my package configs only
cuz
sqlite
for configs
ewww
cinder patio
ummmmm json should only be used to store static data
pale vessel
tell me about it lmao
opal plank
or a database
even configs are good to be stored in database
say you got other bot instances, you can keep them all sync'd that way
sudden geyser
In the past I met someone who made their database by having a raw text file but structuring it like a database
so they wrote a database raw which was kinda impressive
pale vessel

or use a proper databse lol

the problem is only with PAPER

its not a bad idea ngl, but stilll its better to use real one

Why are you assigning in the if condition? if(condition2 = args[0] === 'PAPER'){
golden condor
Everything about that code hurts me
opal plank
start using switch @hazy sparrow
hazy sparrow
@hazy sparrow use to lowercase for your own sake
@opal plank not very important for now eh
opal plank
and lowerCase()
it is
if someone types Scissors it wont match
or scissors
neither will work cuz its perfect matching
hazy sparrow
thats not the problem
hazy sparrow
const ball = Math.floor(Math.random() * (3- 1 + 1) + 1)
@hazy sparrow I think the issue is in your last statement: else if(!condition1 || condition2 || condition3){
You only check if the first condition is negated. Are the other two supposed to also not be negated?
hazy sparrow
The amount of repeated code
@golden condor😅
sudden geyser
You could chop down a lot of your code to make it more readable and understandable with some refractors.
hazy sparrow
@hazy sparrow I think the issue is in your last statement:
else if(!condition1 || condition2 || condition3){You only check if the first condition is negated. Are the other two supposed to also not be negated?
@sudden geyser yup. other two are also supposed to
opal plank
this triggers me so much im about to spoonfeed him

The spoon is the sea and you're in the middle
Get out of sea before you're forever lost
hazy sparrow

this triggers me so much im about to spoonfeed him
@opal plank i'll appreciate it very much thank you
sudden geyser
yup. other two are also supposed to
@hazy sparrow so try negating them with the not (!) operator
sudden geyser
I don't know, maybe it's because paper is in the middle and also has to go through condition3 with the || operator
hazy sparrow
@hazy sparrow so try negating them with the not (
!) operator
@sudden geyser so!condition1 || !condition2 || !condition3)?
cinder patio
yes
sudden geyser
Yeah try it and see if it works
hazy sparrow
hmm in that case it didnt work. now rock and paper has that problem but not scissors
sudden geyser
Try replacing || OR with && AND
hazy sparrow
hmm ok lemme try that
cinder patio
Also:
const _matchups = {
"paper": "rock",
"rock": "scissors",
"scissors": "paper"
}
const playerChoice = firstArg.toLowerCase();
const botChoice = ...;
if (_matchups[playerChoice] === botChoice) {
// the player wins
} else if (playerChoice === botChoice) {
// draw
} else {
// bot wins
}
Here's how I would to RPC. Before you say this is spoonfeeding it's not
hazy sparrow
Try replacing
||OR with&&AND
@sudden geyser it worked
sudden geyser
good
but you should try polishing your code and how the game works like the others said
hazy sparrow
yea i'll try to remove some code
hazy sparrow
Also:
const _matchups = { "paper": "rock", "rock": "scissors", "scissors": "paper" } const playerChoice = firstArg.toLowerCase(); const botChoice = ...; if (_matchups[playerChoice] === botChoice) { // the player wins } else if (playerChoice === botChoice) { // draw } else { // bot wins }Here's how I would to RPC. Before you say this is spoonfeeding it's not
@cinder patio it's that simple??
misty sigil
yea
cinder patio
yup
hazy sparrow
oh my word
opal plank
might have to go with if's
cant think of a clever way to premeditate the result comparators without if's
pale vessel
that space before default 
cinder patio
You may also not want to initialize the balls and values array every time the function is called
hazy sparrow
kk
opal plank
the function should only be called once
cinder patio
once everytime someone uses the command
opal plank
oh i see what you mean
good catch
i hate to do this but i think i'll have to run if's to check result
hazy sparrow
GOD i have still learn lots
opal plank
like i said, rn i cant think of a clever way to check results before hand without if'ing the fuck out it
pale vessel
wtf he fixed the space
opal plank
it only was like that cuz i didnt press save
sudden geyser
Really it's not too difficult. One way that comes to my mind is a dictionary way: ```js
let choices = {
rock: { name: "rock", losesTo: "paper" },
paper: { name: "paper", losesTo: "scissors" },
scissors: { name: "scissors", losesTo: "rock" }
};
let botChoice = choices[Math.floor(Math.random() * 3)]
let userChoice = choices[content.toLowerCase()] // Handle other stuff later
if (userChoice === botChoice) {
// ...
} else if (userChoice.losesTo === botChoice.name) {
// ...
} else {
// ...
}```
I don't know if this works but it's the basics
cinder patio
#development message only 2 ifs in my solution
sudden geyser
It's like 3 conditions
cinder patio
Ifs are definitely better than switch cases here
opal plank
cant disagree with that
hazy sparrow
why are you guys spoonfeeding me im not that noob 😭
earnest phoenix
Lol
sudden geyser
nah, it's just fun to come up with other solutions
earnest phoenix
Use random module ez
hazy sparrow
my code looks like trash looking to your solutions

Make it better then
@earnest phoenix yea ofc

Rock paper scissors without ifs / switches:

true: () => { console.log("Player wins!"); return true},

Where can i get the API links for discord.js?
Im not sure which one is the good site to get since im new to discord.js api

Hmm under which section
misty sigil
documentation section
earnest phoenix
bruh nvm
ionic dawn
faint prism
API links? the docs are at https://discord.js.org
@opaque eagle I think she means the Discord API URLs to hit the routes directly
opaque eagle
faint prism
Probably there ^
opaque eagle
Lmao
indigo folio
i always did https://discordapi.com/
opaque eagle
Why do they keep so many domains
makes no sense
why not just discord.com and discord.dev
so much simpler
indigo folio
doesnt really matter
topaz fjord
@opaque eagle do you have a node package that's straight from git?
earnest phoenix
Does anyone know how can I receive data in Javascript sent from Python via Flask
slender thistle
A webserver?
faint prism
Open a web socket and send json to it?
Or even better, a proper API
APIs can let separate languages talk to each other @earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
I just want to list my registered users on a table that's all is it worth creating an API
store data in a file
read it
ez
oh flask
I have no experience in creating apis
flask is for application servers
👀
i guess
Problem is I get data like [123,1,1,1] so writing and reading from a file would not be easy
use json format
Or idk split via commas i dunno
It comes as json I tried getting the data with Jinja as {{data}}
still merlin
How does one get a guild ping and the discord.js lib ping? In d.js
sudden geyser
What do you mean by guild ping? You could get your client's ping (ws: <Client>.ws.ping)
still merlin
I need like a server ping
earnest phoenix
It comes as json I tried getting the data with Jinja as {{data}}
@earnest phoenix u using js to work on that data?
still merlin
Some servers take longer to message than others sometimes I find
sudden geyser
Would sending an API request that's based on a guild's endpoint satisfy? For example, sending a message in a guild.
earnest phoenix
whats ur problem exactly @earnest phoenix
still merlin
Yes
sudden geyser
Then do something like this:
let start = Date.now();
/* ... send the message ... */
let ms = Date.now() - start;```
That's how long it took for the promise to return, which is how long it took to send the HTTP request.x = listMembers() (which returns a list of members as multiple json objects: [{(),(),(),()}, {(),(),(),()},{(),(),(),()},{(),(),(),()},{(),(),(),()}]
I am sending this from Flask as members = x
I now want to use x on javascript which x can be accessed with {{x}} on html that prints out all members
I want to get it as a js variable so I can create a for loop and process that variable for my needs

I get this error when I try to use node-fetch on an endpoint
TypeError: Request with GET/HEAD method cannot have body
First of all, I'm not dumb, I can read what that says. I'm just wondering how I can bypass it.
- The official RFC specs for REST requests doesn't say that GET requests can't have a body.
- I wrote the API I'm trying to fetch. That endpoint will look for the request body.
- It worked fine in curl.
That being said, how can I bypass that error?

what do you mean code9
earnest phoenix
@opaque eagle try and see if axios supports it, also i recommend using post for requests with a body
numpy is a very good module
Patenting a discord bot? 😂
ye
lol
eval can use template strings so you can do specific stuff using user input by using ${}
var (varName) = (varValue); // won't work
eval(`var ${varName} = ${varValue}`); // does work
It is really useful
I can fetch specific properties from specific objects
pale vessel
sudden geyser
using eval is bad practice
earnest phoenix
Also let & const > var
pale vessel
well yes it works like a normal function would
earnest phoenix
@pale vessel you need a brain to understand it
@sudden geyser if its not locked to owners only then sure
pale vessel
isolated vm + sandbox 😎
sudden geyser
yeah but even there it's still looked down upon
earnest phoenix
Wdym
You cant bypass an id check
@sudden geyser if its not locked to owners only then sure
@earnest phoenix and it certainly isn't locked to discord bots only i use it in my custom database library i am working on
????????
yep
it was useful for me
sudden geyser
as in using eval() in general is still looked down upon
earnest phoenix
heck my own kinda-useless npm package came handy for me
@sudden geyser its actually sometimes useful for me
me too
eval is so cool
sudden geyser
like what, dynamically evaluating some code as a string?
earnest phoenix
Only i can use it so im good
it is literally a necessity for my database package
Say debugging an issue with music queue s
like what, dynamically evaluating some code as a string?
@sudden geyser imagine fetching a specific value from objectxbased on user input
Wait wait
pale vessel
just don't do stupid things and it'll actually be useful
earnest phoenix
eval > 100 if statements
You use eval to handle user input
can my message be starred lol
Oh my fucking god
Oh my fucking god
@earnest phoenix stop swearing to god
sudden geyser
code913 you managed to set off the #1 issue with using eval
earnest phoenix
^
Is your bot here?
that English
is too hard
Let me break it
Is your bot here?
@earnest phoenix definitely not
I can fuck your bot in under 5 mins
code913 you managed to set off the #1 issue with using eval
@sudden geyser i 👏 don't 👏 use it 👏 for 👏 bots
sudden geyser
Anyway how is the example you gave useful though? https://canary.discordapp.com/channels/264445053596991498/272764566411149314/747153595077492776
You still need to know the name of the variable to use it.
earnest phoenix
You just said you did
I can fuck your bot in under 5 mins
@earnest phoenix there is no eval command
sudden geyser
It's not limited to bots. It's limited to programming

You still need to know the name of the variable to use it.
@sudden geyser what about a whole database package that uses better-sqlite3 to make a complex database where you can do shenanigans and it all works on the principle that i set specific values based on the values provided in a function and the eval command does the stuff i won't be able to do with normal javascript
Oh god
@earnest phoenix pls just stop ive seen u give terrible advice and even worse programming practices
sudden geyser
I have no idea what you said since I'd need to see your code base where eval is helpful but I can only think of a few scenarios where eval can be used. In general, it's good practice to avoid using eval unless you absolutely have to.
Just search up "Eval is evil" on Google for research
earnest phoenix
I never use eval other in my eval command
emphasis on unless you absolutely have to cuz i have to
slender thistle
Let me correct that:
"unless you ABSOLUTELY have to"
slender thistle
what the fuck is going on in any case
earnest phoenix
sudden geyser
We're talking about eval and when to use it

@earnest phoenix your bot only stores messages sent after your bot starts. Older messages are not available unless you request them from discord using fetch. You can only fetch a maxinun of 100 messages at a time
opaque eagle
so u can save it as mp3
quartz kindle
Plus there are storage limits for messages, the default in discord.js being 200 messages per channel, after which older messages start getting deleted from the cache
earnest phoenix
so i need to fetch from cache for older messages?
quartz kindle
These limits can be customized

I've tried to install Canvacord for something and I get a error when I try to run my bot

I've gotten a new error now, Without the new
TypeError: Class constructor Canvacord cannot be invoked without 'new'```I assume it's supposed to be a class used statically
tight plinth
so the discord.net gh repo tells us to use Discord.Commands instead of hard coding a command handler. Is that true?
earnest phoenix
@still merlin just Canvacord

Okay thanks

@slender thistle alright, my bad
slender thistle

i need me that emote
slender thistle
faint prism
so the discord.net gh repo tells us to use Discord.Commands instead of hard coding a command handler. Is that true?
@tight plinth yeah
It has a Register commands async function
Which will search for functions that start with the attribute [Command()]
If you want to see how I did it, my project is public
proven lantern
when you type # or @ in the discord text input box there is an autocomplete that pops up. is there a way to use our own prefix to create a custom autocomplete?
faint prism
Are you talking about mentions and channels?
proven lantern
@faint prism yes
earnest phoenix
so whats the correct way to grab old messages const channel = swcbot.guilds.get(msg.guild.id).channels.find(channel => channel.name === 'swc_chat'); const msgs = channel.messages.cache.fetch();
faint prism
I don't think so. That's a discord client side thing
earnest phoenix
is not working
proven lantern
@faint prism dang, thanks
earnest phoenix
im getting channel just cant figure out grabbing old messages
faint prism
Isn't it Download Messages or something
earnest phoenix
but get() only works on cache
opal plank
hence why you fetch if its not cached
opal plank
if(!cache.has(something)) fetch(something)
earnest phoenix
im using get to grab channel and its grabbing the channel
so theres a discord rest api or something i can fetch from? ill check that out
faint prism
so theres a discord rest api or something i can fetch from? ill check that out
@earnest phoenix yeah that's what the library handles for you. It probably has what you're looking for in it, but you could always just make the call directly to discord API
earnest phoenix
cool tyvm
fetch from discord if you want quicko updates
cache doesn't store everything

earnest phoenix
redis?????
opal plank
yup

imagine doing 140+ calls per second
if you werent caching stuff
faint prism

opal plank
nah this is some next tier flexing shit
im literally pulling 50% of twitchs global viewers
and its using 8% of the hosts cpu
EIGHT FUCKING PERCENT
opal plank
thats 1.7 mil viewers there talking
earnest phoenix
is there a rate limit to fetching
earnest phoenix
f
opal plank
@proven lantern i did not, my bot is more focused for streamers/twitch users
its too unique
earnest phoenix
that means discord.js-light is an almost useless thing
fetching everything = rate limits
caching nothing = hey tim you're cute
slender thistle
It just doesn't cache everything that you don't need
slender thistle
This library solves the problem by giving developers full control over how and when discord.js should cache the data it receives from the API.
earnest phoenix
alright
slender thistle
It doesn't say anywhere that it will fetch automatically
earnest phoenix
I'll just cache everything
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
but have a setInterval function clear the cache every hour
so it deletes the unnecessary stuff
and starts caching whatever discord users and guilds and stuff do
earnest phoenix
why
opal plank
using 0.2% of the mem of this host

So I'm trying to get my bot set up with sharding... (Discord.js 12.3.1)
I'm using the Sharding Manager and all is working fine, but I want the shards to connect to my (Maria) DB with a different user each. Any ideas on how I could achieve that?
misty sigil
Why would you need to connect with different users?
earnest phoenix
sweet i got it all working...now i show a random quote from channel in help embed footer
couldnt get the embed Objects to work though..had to make my own { embed: {}}
object and send that
blazing portal
Why would you need to connect with different users?
Wont there be problems when I'm trying to establish multiple concurrent connections with the same credentials?
misty sigil
@blazing portal I'm using MongoDB and it works with the concurrent connections
So I'd assume it'd work
blazing portal
How many connections do you have?
misty sigil
2 (shards / connections)
blazing portal
Well that's not many yet. It may work for 2, but I don't want to have to go back to this later and change it again...
But good to know anyway. thanks
misty sigil
Databases are good at handling 'simultaneous' accesses by multiple connections to the same table.
It'll be fine lul
blazing portal
yes i know databases handle concurrency with ease, but afaik not by the same user
misty sigil
I'd assume they'd handle that too
Because in an app you're gonna have multiple read/writes going on at the same time, probably from the same user
blazing portal
Yeah i guess you're right

I want in the help.js file to get the description and category, how do I get this?(javascript)

can you give me an example?

assuming you mapped it somewhere, just send that map to your help.js as param
it depends on how you got your stuff setup

console.log(cmd.name)

steady anchor
this is my help.js
opal plank
cool but it doesnt answer my question
how you mapping your commands?
cuz you'd need it on index
actually
nah that might work
usually you'd do on it your index
so you arent reading dirs on every command call
but anyway
steady anchor
You've got me stumped
opal plank
you should require() that module with the command name
hushed axle
why my laptop can't connect to my new vps \
opal plank
everytime you run !help it'll read the dir, there isnt a need for that
you likely have your commands mapped on your index
cuz otherwise what would be the point of dynamically organizing them like that
steady anchor
const {readdirSync} = require('fs');
const ascii = require('ascii-table'); // npm install ascii table
// If you want you can not add it and do a normal CommandHandler, I have this simply for aesthetics
let table = new ascii("Commands");
table.setHeading('Command', 'Load status');
module.exports = (client) => {
readdirSync("./commands/").forEach(dir => {
const commands = readdirSync(`./commands/${dir}/`).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for(let file of commands) {
let pull = require(`../commands/${dir}/${file}`);
if(pull.name) {
client.commands.set(pull.name, pull);
table.addRow(file, '✅')
} else {
table.addRow(file, '❌')
continue;
} if(pull.aliases && Array.isArray(pull.aliases)) pull.aliases.forEach(alias => client.aliases.set(alias, pull.name));
}

console.log(table.toString());
