development

[quartz kindle]

all instances of A have the same prototype

so when you do instance.something() you're doing A.prototype.something.call(instance)

[mellow kelp]

oh yeah the prototype thing

now it makes more sense

[quartz kindle]

all class methods are stored inside the prototype, and all class instances share the same prototype

so the functions are all the same, but they are called with different this

[rocky hearth]

and how the inheritance work?

[quartz kindle]

there are 4 functions that override the this variable, .call() .bind() .apply() and function declaration

an extended class with new methods will create a new prototype that is a merge of both prototypes

[blissful coral]

Confusion for noobies

[quartz kindle]

but the functions in the prototype are still references, not copies

[crimson vapor]

hello Extreme

[blissful coral]

Hi

[crimson vapor]

we are learning about memory in js

and how its kinda smart

[mellow kelp]

yea

[quartz kindle]

js is very smart

[mellow kelp]

its all coming together

[quartz kindle]

sometimes too much smart

[crimson vapor]

you think?

[heavy anchor]

On today’s TimTalk?

[blissful coral]

Js is to smart

[mellow kelp]

js is too smart

but also really dumb

[cinder patio]

V8* is smart

[crimson vapor]

Extreme

you in eastern time or central time?

@blissful coral

[earnest phoenix]

js still flops in GC

[blissful coral]

Central

I’m in biology rn

[rocky hearth]

what is this GC?

[cinder patio]

garbage collector

[rocky hearth]

so y its bad in it?

[crimson vapor]

imagine not failing bio

[earnest phoenix]

this is the reason why chromium eats so much memory, really bad garbage collection

[crimson vapor]

oh

thats an issue with V8?

[cinder patio]

mhm

[crimson vapor]

is there any way to manually gc?

or do it better

[cinder patio]

you can manually sweep it

[crimson vapor]

or thats just built in to V8

[earnest phoenix]

switch to c++

[cinder patio]

yea if you really want performance

or fork v8 and add manual memory management instead of gc

[earnest phoenix]

modern languages take away the pain of managing memory

that's a selling point for a lot of them

[cinder patio]

though c++ also has ways of making memory management easier... shared and unique pointers

[umbral zealot]

for deleted message you don't have a web process running.

😂

[near stratus]

f I announced my app name literally

[earnest phoenix]

having an automatic GC doesn't mean lesser performance though, it just needs to be done properly

for example .net5 has an insanely good GC, knowing when to dispose objects, when to spawn objects on the heap etc

[near stratus]

at=error code=H14 desc="No web processes running" method=GET path="/" host=app.herokuapp.com request_id=dbc0b235-6844-44cc-93db-f894e7b9a1d3 fwd="37.69.201.69" dyno= connect= service= status=503 bytes= protocol=https

[umbral zealot]

ok well, you do'nt have a web process running 👍

[mellow kelp]

your app must have a web process

[near stratus]

it has

[umbral zealot]

what does your Procfile look like?

[near stratus]

worker: node index.js

like this

[mellow kelp]

that's a worker process

[near stratus]

And my index.js contains

server.all('/', (req, res) => {
    res.send('Plubin is up');
});
server.all('/favicon.ico' , (req,res) => {
    res.send('Not provided');
});
server.listen(PORT, () => {
    console.log(`Server is up on port : ${PORT}`);
});

[near stratus]

yeah
wait,
web and worker are different ?

[mellow kelp]

yeah

[near stratus]

This person just died

[mellow kelp]

you'd have to split your server and bot into two processes

well

at least if you also got a bot running or something

[near stratus]

I'll put both on cuz I'm using webhook too

[mellow kelp]

k

[near stratus]

yeah it runs

[mellow kelp]

oh k

then you gotta add a web process to your Procfile to run the server

[crimson vapor]

whats server.all vs server.use?

[mellow kelp]

server.all is just for that route

server.use is for the route and every of its sub-routes

[crimson vapor]

hmm

oh

makes sense

[mellow kelp]

yea

@near stratus for a favicon you probably just wanna use server.get

i mean, no one's gonna try to make a delete request to your favicon

[crimson vapor]

I might

[near stratus]

@mellow kelp thanks it works now

[mellow kelp]

[mellow kelp]

np

[weary widget]

does anyone know how axios works? im trying to make a command that calls an external api but i keep getting this error

[quartz kindle]

data[0] is undefined

[weary widget]

wait it works if i just do res not res.data[] thanks

[mellow kelp]

you probably have a syntax error right before that

[shrewd creek]

@bot.command(name='botusers', help='only vissible to devs')
@commands.is_owner()
async def botusers(ctx):
await ctx.send(f'{len(bot.guilds)} server count')
await ctx.send (f'{sum([g.member_count for g in bot.guilds])} user count' )
await ctx.send([m.name for m in bot.guilds] )
await ctx.send ([g.name for g in bot.users] )

this gives me names of users form every guild

but is there a way to isolate and get the name list for a given guild name??

guys??

[slender thistle]

what in the living fuck

Create one big string and send it once instead of sending separate 4 messages

[shrewd creek]

lol

[slender thistle]

Also what do you mean by that

[earnest phoenix]

they're probably going to exceed 2000 char limit with the last two messages

[slender thistle]

Names of members of a specific guild?

[shrewd creek]

yea

[slender thistle]

Which guild specifically?

[slender thistle]

Could be avoided with a few tricks with string length checking :p

[shrewd creek]

like if my bot is there in a server ; bot

i shold be able to get the names of botusers foronm that guild alone like
#botusers bot.. should bing me the names

[earnest phoenix]

keep in mind that multiple guilds can have the same name

you should use the guild id instead

[shrewd creek]

hmm

so how do i write a code to get it with server id

await ctx.send ([g.name for g in bot.users] )

[tired panther]

can you set more than one key in a map

[earnest phoenix]

yes

if you're asking more than one same key, no

it will be overwritten

[tired panther]

client.react.set(msgid, { ///this saves the msgid in a map to prevent a fetch
      guildid: guildid,
      msgid: msgid, 
      reaction: emoji , 
      roleid: roleid,
      dm: dm
    });
``` link mgsid + emoji as key

I want to delete the map entrie with msg id 01929 but with the emoji 🤑

is it possible, without a for loop

[last geyser]

Anyone know of any way to embed the top.gg reviews section into another site without using iframes?

is it available via the api or something?

[earnest phoenix]

you seem to be only using the message id as the key unless im missing something?

[solemn latch]

I dont believe anything with reviews are available via the api.

[earnest phoenix]

you can use message id + emoji string as the key and then just delete the same thing

[umbral zealot]

Pretty sure you'd have to scrape the reviews

[tired panther]

yes msg id as the key

[earnest phoenix]

which is going to be hard since top.gg uses cloudflare

[tired panther]

in two seperate strings?

[last geyser]

mmmm

that kinda sucks

[earnest phoenix]

in one

[tired panther]

when I use a array?

[earnest phoenix]

what

[last geyser]

I wonder if I could just fetch it using the URL the browser fetches from

[earnest phoenix]

no

quite literally

combine them in a string

[tired panther]

uff

[earnest phoenix]

234703377999593472 + 😆 -> "234703377999593472😆"

[umbral zealot]

the browser isn't only fetching reviews, it gets all the data from the site. And, if my understanding is correct, it probably even does server-side rendering anyway.

[tired panther]

then I have to split them 😭

[last geyser]

No, it fetches /js/reviews.js, which I also assume then fetches another external URI

I could be wrong though

[umbral zealot]

no that`s javascript

[earnest phoenix]

why?

[umbral zealot]

not data

[last geyser]

eh the js is obfuscated anyway

[umbral zealot]

Can confirm that's server-side data (straight from the source, so not rendered by JS)

[tired panther]

bc when I want to have reaction roles , then I need the msg id

[umbral zealot]

So scraping would be the only way

[last geyser]

ah, that sucks

[earnest phoenix]

...so?

[last geyser]

Well, this is going to be interesting

[tired panther]

oh thx have a id

[umbral zealot]

In JS, puppeteer can do that in a jiffy

[last geyser]

tbh I could just cut out the reviews div and slap it in my page

[earnest phoenix]

the problem is cloudflare and encountering a captcha

[umbral zealot]

yeah sure just grab .reviews_wrapper 😄

[last geyser]

ah yeah thats a thing

cheers

[umbral zealot]

captcha?

[last geyser]

I mean

if I fetch it from my site via js

[earnest phoenix]

cloudflare will throw a captcha at you if your requests are sus

[last geyser]

then do it entirely client side

I highly doubt that it'll captcha me

even if it does, I could just fallback to iframing it

[umbral zealot]

It certainly won't if you do, say, a cache that refreshes only once an hour or twice a day or something

[last geyser]

Well yeah, I just remembered CORS exists and might become a problem

so client-side might not be entirely viable

https://this-is-a-really.questionable.link/ZNJQX4 yeah CORS doesn't like that

[mellow kelp]

freakin cors

[gilded olive]

F

[ember vale]

How 2 code 4 dummies?

[solemn latch]

im sure the company that makes those books have one on programming.

[neon turret]

hey, how do I get the code for this description in a good looking position?

[solemn latch]

Well, youd have to decide that.

[earnest phoenix]

set a div's position to absolute and do whatever you want

and also increase its z-index

[shrewd creek]

how to get names of bot users in a server using server id?

discord.py..

[tired plaza]

Does anyone know how to check channel permissions for the bot on discord.js

[mellow kelp]

client.guilds doesn't have a get method

[earnest phoenix]

<Client>#guilds is a manager

Access it's cache property

[mellow kelp]

you're probably looking for client.guilds.cache.fetch(id)

[mellow kelp]

channel.permissionsFor(someUserOrMember)

[earnest phoenix]

No

[mellow kelp]

oh wait

[tired plaza]

okay thanks ive been checking for the guilds p[ermission

[mellow kelp]

yeah guilds are cached

[earnest phoenix]

<Collection>#fetch() isn't a thing

[mellow kelp]

forgot i was using cache

my bad

client.guilds.cache.get

[earnest phoenix]

<Client>#guilds#cache returns a collection, use <Collection>#get() on it

did you login?

[distant cobalt]

const channel1 = message.mentions.channels.first()
message.channel.send(channel1)``` how do you have the command include a mention?

[solemn latch]

command include a mention?

[distant cobalt]

yes, but the bot can see if i actually mentioned a channel

[quartz kindle]

how did you create client?

[distant cobalt]

if you're using a command handler, you don't need to define client. put message infront of client to define it

[solemn latch]

just put it in an if statement to find out if any channels where mentioned.

[tired plaza]

what permissions does my bot need to send a message, is it just SEND_MESSAGES?

cause im getting a error saying missing permissions

[crimson vapor]

EMBED_LINKS if you use embeds

what is the error exactly?

[umbral zealot]

It also needs permission to view the channel.

[crimson vapor]

oh that too

[umbral zealot]

as in, you can't send a message where you don't have rights to view that channel, that wouldn't make much sense ^_^

[tired plaza]

but if the bot cant view the channel how does it know the message was sent?

but it was missing EMBED_LINKS

[quartz kindle]

thats wrong

[tired plaza]

still missing one permission but idk what it is

[quartz kindle]

client doesnt exist in discord.js
Client exists

and Client is a class so you need to instantiate it but you probably already have an instance, so you shouldnt even be trying to instantiate it again

[drifting wedge]

    let id = document.getElementById("id2").value;``` the func accesses elements in the dom, it needs to be in the top or bottom of thr html?

in head or bottom of body?

[pale vessel]

always bottom of body

[tired plaza]

          return reject(new DiscordAPIError(request.path, data, request.method, res.status));

is the error i get

[pale vessel]

you need to make sure everything loaded first

[drifting wedge]

alr

[pale vessel]

like last time when someone asked you to use onload, you could have just put your code on the bottom and it would have worked

[drifting wedge]

also, i made the func async but its really not updating

i updated the file in the webserver

[pale vessel]

again, check your console

[drifting wedge]

but the website isnt updating? do i shift f5?

i did

[pale vessel]

nothing?

go to errors

[drifting wedge]

function edit_bio() { < website
async function edit_bio() { < code

it does give errors

profile.js:4 Uncaught SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function

[pale vessel]

try shift f5 then

it shouldn't cache it though

[quartz kindle]

what are you sending?

[drifting wedge]

it still does

[pale vessel]

wasn't it ctrl f5?

i just use ctrl chift r

[drifting wedge]

i did it

still didnt update

waddafuck

[pale vessel]

it's not uploading correctly then

[tired plaza]

all it is is a message sending

[drifting wedge]

i nano the file and it says async

like the file itself is async

[quartz kindle]

but what are you sending

text? image? audio? link?

[tired plaza]

text

[quartz kindle]

only text?

[tired plaza]

embed

but the bot also does 'message.channel.id'

[quartz kindle]

embed needs EMBED_LINKS permission

files need ATTACH_FILES permission

[tired plaza]

does it need permission to access channel id or anything

[quartz kindle]

no

[drifting wedge]

profile.js:4 Uncaught SyntaxError: await is only valid in async function

function edit_bio() { so its not updating

does fetch HAVE to be await?

@pale vessel

[tired plaza]

hgere is the full script

[quartz kindle]

.cache.get

[tired plaza]

//////Modules//////
module.exports = {
 name: 'setlogs',
 execute(message, client, fs) {
//////Permissions//////    
 if (message.channel.permissionsFor(message.member).has("SEND_MESSAGES")){
  if (message.channel.permissionsFor(message.member).has("VIEW_CHANNEL")){
//////Main-Code//////
  let fullCommand = message.content.substr(9)
  if (fullCommand == "false"){
   message.channel.send("Logs have been Disabled") 
   client.Server ["Log" + message.guild.id] = {
    logchannel: "false"
   }
   fs.writeFile ("./data/Server.json", JSON.stringify (client.Server, null, 4), err => {
   if (err )throw err; 
    console.log("Server Data Updated "+message.guild.name);
   });
 }else{
   client.Server ["Log" + message.guild.id] = {
    logchannel: message.channel.id
   }
   fs.writeFile ("./data/Server.json", JSON.stringify (client.Server, null, 4), err => {
   if (err )throw err; 
    console.log("Server Data Updated "+message.guild.name);
   });
   message.channel.send(`<#${message.channel.id}> Set as Log Channel`)
  }
  }}
}};```

[pale vessel]

No

You can use .then()

But that's not the problem

Your website isn't updating

[drifting wedge]

mhm

i think imma just put code in script

[quartz kindle]

check if the channel you're trying to send it has any permission overwrites

[tired plaza]

but since it checks the permissions shouldnt it show no errors

[earnest phoenix]

I’ve been trying all day to figure out why it’s not working ^ no it’s not my command handler

[cinder patio]

It's Number

with a capital N

[pale vessel]

do you not have console

[earnest phoenix]

@pale vessel no

@cinder patio it’s not working my man

[cinder patio]

show your code now

[opal plank]

weird choice to do Number() and not parseInt but okay

[crimson vapor]

is there a difference?

[opal plank]

not sure myself

[pale vessel]

Number parses floats as well

[crimson vapor]

well actually here parseInt would be better

but realistically is there a difference?

[pale vessel]

No

[cinder patio]

you can't delete 3.5 messages so yeah parseInt is better in this case

[opal plank]

thats some poor handling

check NaN too

[earnest phoenix]

So what’s the problem you guys see?

[opal plank]

all 3 of the above

[earnest phoenix]

Lines? Lol

[opal plank]

read

[lament rock]

You don't check for if the amount is NaN or if the amount is < 1

[cinder patio]

and you are not rounding it

or using parseInt

[opal plank]

^^

[lament rock]

You also cannot pass a float. Number parses floats like Google mentioned

[opal plank]

floats, round, nan and natural numbers

[earnest phoenix]

So

[opal plank]

fix all those

[cinder patio]

also learn how to view the console

google around

there's definitely a way

[opal plank]

^^

or use an eval

dump the error in chat

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[earnest phoenix]

(Number, args[0]);

[lament rock]

What?

[opal plank]

............

all i can say at this point is:

[pale vessel]

amazing

[earnest phoenix]

Lol..

[opal plank]

@earnest phoenix Before you make a Discord Bot, you should have a good understanding of JavaScript. This means you should have a basic understanding of the following topics:

• proper syntax
• debuging code
• basic features (vars, arrays, objects, functions)
• read and understand docs
• nodejs module system

As much as we d like to assist everyone with making their bots, we rarely have the time and/or patience to handhold beginners through learning javascript. We highly recommend understanding the basics before trying to make bots, which use advanced programming concepts.

Here are good resources to learn both Javascript and NodeJS:

Javascriptinfo: https://javascript.info/
Codecademy: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/javascript
FreeCodeCamp: https://www.freecodecamp.org/
Udemy: https://www.udemy.com/javascript-essentials/
Eloquent JavaScript, free book: http://eloquentjavascript.net/
You-Dont-Know-JS: https://github.com/getify/You-Dont-Know-JS
NodeSchool: https://nodeschool.io/
CodeSchool: https://www.codeschool.com/courses/real-time-web-with-node-js
Evie s Accelerated JS: https://js.evie.dev/

Please take a couple of weeks/months to get acquainted with the language before trying to make bots!

[pale vessel]

That was fast

[opal plank]

cuz my bot has handy tags

[lament rock]

self bot!!!

[opal plank]

imagine removing my bot from here when its basically replacement of r.danny

[earnest phoenix]

Sigh...I come here for help but instead get the documents..

[opal plank]

you welcome

[sudden geyser]

You need to help yourself before we can help you.

[cinder patio]

we can't help you unless you show us logs

[earnest phoenix]

Alr

[lament rock]

It'll help you in the long run to read documentation and actually gain knowledge of the language. You would not have asked this question if you knew effective logic and debugging procedures

[opal plank]

nice, error cut in half

that shows a lot

[earnest phoenix]

Bruh

[lament rock]

That doesn't provide the error. The actual error is at the top of the stack

[opal plank]

MESSGAE_CREATE

[earnest phoenix]

Now? Happy

[cinder patio]

still nope

[opal plank]

does your bot even have permission to send messages?

[lament rock]

still not it

[earnest phoenix]

Bruh, yes @opal plank

[lament rock]

That's just the bottom of the stack where Discord.js checks for if stuff is cached

[earnest phoenix]

@lament rock tahts why I’m confused it’s now showing any error

[cinder patio]

give us the entire error already

[opal plank]

thats all io could guess from half the error

[cinder patio]

it is

[earnest phoenix]

Let me try again

[lament rock]

The error is there. Scroll up in the console

[cinder patio]

what you are trying to send is literally the error

[opal plank]

HALF of it*

and the least useful half of it

[lament rock]

deleteCount is not defined

lol

[opal plank]

reading do be hard sometimes

[earnest phoenix]

LOL

[cinder patio]

it's all lowercase

[earnest phoenix]

@opal plank yea on iOS yes

[opal plank]

upperCase

deletecount

not deleteCount

js is case sensitive

[earnest phoenix]

Oops..

Js you sensitive idiot

Lol

[opal plank]

just code in SQL, problem solved

[earnest phoenix]

@opal plank can it be used on iOS?

[opal plank]

im gonna pretend i didnt read that

[mellow kelp]

JUST 'code' IN 'sql'

[lament rock]

iOS sandbox do be strong though

[earnest phoenix]

Ayy worked guys :)!

Hm what if i want it embed?

Isn’t it

[opal plank]

then you send an embed

[earnest phoenix]

message.send.(embed) right?

[cinder patio]

try it

[opal plank]

tias

[lament rock]

You have to define embed

[earnest phoenix]

Alr, lemme try

[opal plank]

https://tryitands.ee

[earnest phoenix]

@opal plank lmao I love this meme

[opal plank]

same

[earnest phoenix]

Let’s Try 😎

Bruh nope didn’t work

Let’s see the error

[cinder patio]

of course it didn't

learn to code

at least learn the basics

[umbral zealot]

We keep trying...

[opal plank]

ikr sad dev noises

[earnest phoenix]

Lol

[true ravine]

I've just put my bot on github, and I want to be able to clone the repo on another device to work on it there. How should I handle the dependencies in node_modules? Should I upload them to the repo or is there some other preferred way?

[mellow kelp]

always ignore node_modules

thats what lockfiles are for, to keep track of dependencies and stuff

[cinder patio]

All the node modules are listed in package.json. Push your package.json and IGNORE the node-modules folder

after you clone, do npm i to download all the modules

[true ravine]

Yeah I've ignored them at the moment as I hadn't seen other repos with the folder

Oh yeah npm i

Thank you

[earnest phoenix]

We keep trying but always get the documents

[earnest phoenix]

Anyone help? @ember atlas

WTF

What just happened..

[cinder patio]

you shouldn't have leaked your token

[ember atlas]

Can you not

[true ravine]

This man is a madman

[earnest phoenix]

I’m sorry I didn’t

[sterile lantern]

uh

did you leak ur token?

[earnest phoenix]

How... no I didn’t

[sterile lantern]

what vps are you using?

[crimson vapor]

reset the token

lol

repl

[earnest phoenix]

I did but wtf

[sterile lantern]

and do that in the me-

are you using repl??

[crimson vapor]

yes

[sterile lantern]

i mean

.env

[earnest phoenix]

Ye..

[sterile lantern]

are you using .env

[crimson vapor]

.env or config or string

[sterile lantern]

you need .env on repl.it

or your bot security is at risk

[earnest phoenix]

Holy fuck man

[opal plank]

did we just witnes someone logging onto his bot and tagging everyone on every server?

[earnest phoenix]

That gave me a shitty shock

it could've been worse

@opal plank yes holy fuck how..

[sterile lantern]

is ur bot public?

[earnest phoenix]

No, holy wtf

[sterile lantern]

like do you use it in multiple servers?

oh

then its not that bad

[opal plank]

token leak, as literally people pointed out

[earnest phoenix]

i've seen people fully atomic bomb tokens, delete and ban everyone in every guild lmfao

[sterile lantern]

how tf

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix lmao right when I got pinged I check the coding

[sterile lantern]

do you delete a guild?

as a bot??

[earnest phoenix]

i meant delete all channels

[sterile lantern]

o

lmao

[earnest phoenix]

The most weird part is I don’t have coding that can do that

[dusty orbit]

h

[earnest phoenix]

you leaked your token

[sterile lantern]

you should switch to .env

in your .env file:

[earnest phoenix]

how many times do you have to be told

@sterile lantern I will

[umbral zealot]

They don't need your code to use your token.

[sterile lantern]

token=token

then

[umbral zealot]

They just wrote their own code.

[sterile lantern]

in your index:

[opal plank]

^^

[earnest phoenix]

Then how can it be secure? @sterile lantern

[opal plank]

bruh

do you even read?

[sterile lantern]

require('dotenv').config();
client.login(process.env.token)```

bruh

do you not know what .env is

[earnest phoenix]

Yes, but if I do it how can it be like secure

[sterile lantern]

.env will always be a private file

[earnest phoenix]

Yes @sterile lantern I got it

[umbral zealot]

@earnest phoenix Read this: https://anidiots.guide/hosting/repl#adding-your-token-to-the-env-file-and-using-it

[sterile lantern]

so even if your project is public

they cannot access your token

if its in the .env file

[earnest phoenix]

I already done it @sterile lantern

[sterile lantern]

alright

make sure to change your client.login function

to

client.login(process.env.token)

[earnest phoenix]

In .envy right?

.env*

[sterile lantern]

no..

in .env you ONLY put this:

token=tokenhere

nothing else

[earnest phoenix]

The weird part is I’ve already done it..

So I have no idea how they got my token

[sterile lantern]

did you change your client.login function??

[earnest phoenix]

Hm, I don’t think

[sterile lantern]

thats probably why

make sure to add this:

[earnest phoenix]

require('dotenv').config();
client.login(process.env.token)```

[sterile lantern]

client.login(process.env.token)

[earnest phoenix]

So I put this in index?

[sterile lantern]

no dont put it together

in your index.js

[earnest phoenix]

Oh ok

[sterile lantern]

where you do

[cinder patio]

maybe you gave it to someone

[sterile lantern]

const discord = require('discord.js');

under that

put

require('dotenv').config();

[cinder patio]

while you were asking for help

[earnest phoenix]

@cinder patio same

@sterile lantern Alr

@sterile lantern so this?

[sterile lantern]

yes

perfect

[earnest phoenix]

And then in the env I do this

[sterile lantern]

wait

no

[earnest phoenix]

TOKEN=.....

[sterile lantern]

why did you requrie it at the end

require*

in your code

index.js

on the top

where you require your packages

put the require dot env there

[earnest phoenix]

Oh my bad lol

[umbral zealot]

javascript is case sensitive so you need to put TOKEN in both places or token in both places, you can't mix the cases

[sterile lantern]

and then in .env make sure its
token=here

yeah lowercase if you do process.env.token

or uppercase if you do process.env.TOKEN

[sterile lantern]

oh

my god

[trim saddle]

@weak parrot you have big brain smarts right

[weak parrot]

Depends

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile lantern you said top-

[trim saddle]

why do you have the require under all the code

[sterile lantern]

i said at the very top

[earnest phoenix]

Ooh my bad LOL

[sterile lantern]

where you require your packages..

[wheat jewel]

Hey I'm transfering from quickdb to mongo and I'm wondering how I would do this

So I do item = args[0]
And thatll get me the first arguement:
I would just do:
```db.set(${reciever.id}${item}s, newrecieverinv);

db.set(${giver.id}${item}s, newgiverinv);```

How would I do this with mongo?

 result = await userSchema.findOneAndUpdate({ userid : userID }, {item : value    }) 
           
```but that doesnt work because it tries to set `item` to `value`
Do I have to make an if else statment for each item?

[earnest phoenix]

So all of the 3 lines at the top? @sterile lantern

Lr just the package one

[sterile lantern]

just the last two

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

[sterile lantern]

i mean

no

the const discord

and reuqire one

require*

leave the client.login there

[trim saddle]

@weak parrot uhhh how do you see if a permission is in a set of permissions

[weak parrot]

No clue

[earnest phoenix]

bitwise AND

[wheat jewel]

Anyone here use mongo?

[sterile lantern]

no

well i dont

some other people do

[earnest phoenix]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/permissions @trim saddle

This at the end and those other at the top

[trim saddle]

i'm reading the docs

[sterile lantern]

yes thats fine

[earnest phoenix]

you just have to use bitwise AND

[sterile lantern]

now stop ur project

and run it agian

[earnest phoenix]

on your permissions

Alr

[lament rock]

if ((bitfield & permission) == permission) return true
else return false

[trim saddle]

uhhh don't think this is right

[crimson vapor]

oh no

its a mod bot

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile lantern so uh how is my file private? And yea it’s working,

Only I can view it? And also the other that are helping me code it?

Or only me

[lament rock]

check what the keyword this is referring to. If you're nesting it somewhere this.client is defined, this might be referring to the arrow function

[sterile lantern]

only the people that are in the project and have edit permissions

[crimson vapor]

ready event is likely not a class

[sterile lantern]

so if you didnt add anyone then only you

[crimson vapor]

if it is my bad

[sterile lantern]

quite frankly,

i think repl makes it so only project owner can see .env

regardless of collabs

[crimson vapor]

yep

no

no teams can see it

[sterile lantern]

collabs can?

oh

rip

[earnest phoenix]

sure that's one approach, just combine every value that has true in a bitmask with the values from the doc

a sample of that is also in the docs

i think

[trim saddle]

// this.permissions = BigInt
// guildPermissions[gp] = another BigInt
Boolean((this.permissions & BigInt(guildPermissions[gp])) == this.permissions) // false regardless

[lament rock]

That statement wasn't meant for you, skull lmao

[trim saddle]

wh-

[lament rock]

this was though #development message

[trim saddle]

i see but i still get false

[lament rock]

they're parsing from API

[trim saddle]

none of this is coming from the api yet

this is local testing

[lament rock]

Oh?

I see

[earnest phoenix]

discord's api will never return perms like that

Bruh, now my bot is not working

[lament rock]

They return a string which you can convert to a BigInt which is recommended

[earnest phoenix]

Help me someone

[trim saddle]

class PetalsPermissions<K extends keyof guildPermissionsType> {
    permissions: bigint
    constructor(perms: bigint|K[]) {
        switch (typeof perms) {
        case "bigint":
            this.permissions = perms
            break
        case "object":
            let n = 0
            Object.keys(guildPermissions).map(p => n = n | guildPermissions[p])
            this.permissions = BigInt(n)
            break
        }
    }
    // @ts-ignore
    get toJSON() {
        const d = {}
        Object.keys(guildPermissions).forEach(gp => {
            d[gp] = Boolean((this.permissions & BigInt(guildPermissions[gp])) == this.permissions)
        })
        return d
    }
}

this is the entire class

[opal plank]

is discord having a stroke?

or is it me?

[crimson vapor]

not you

[opal plank]

legit not getting post system messages

[crimson vapor]

discord is high or something

[opal plank]

my bot is reacting to the joined members but not getting system messages

[crimson vapor]

lol

[opal plank]

taken right now

[earnest phoenix]

@sterile lantern thanks :)!

[lament rock]

I do not believe you since the error states that this.client is undefined

log the value of this

or assign client to a variable which you can access without needing to access this

[earnest phoenix]

So uh, can someone help? It works and it also does this...

[lament rock]

I just tested something similar and it works properly

[cinder patio]

& returns either 0 or 1

[earnest phoenix]

Help pleas

[trim saddle]

if it's 0 it should be false

[lament rock]

& returns the bit you're checking for if it's in there. Not 0 or 1

0 if it is not in there

[trim saddle]

if it's one it should be true

[earnest phoenix]

Uh anyone?

[lament rock]

What's the error

[earnest phoenix]

It’s saying there’s a bug for no reason @lament rock

[cinder patio]

still, Skullbite is comparing the result to this.permissions, they should just check if the result is 0 or not

[sterile lantern]

np

is that a client.on function?

that message

or is it an error function?

like .catch or client.on(ready

[grizzled raven]

someone explain how why and how

[earnest phoenix]

PLEASE HELP

[grizzled raven]

oh wait

[lament rock]

If the output doesn't have client as a property, then this.client is undefined like the error suggests and you should assign the client variable to something other than this since this is a funny JS key word which if nested, refers to the scope it's in. In this case, a function or the scope which is calling the function.

[grizzled raven]

oh nevermind i guess it just ignores the * 1

[crimson vapor]

• 1 is * 1

its not ignored

[cinder patio]

5 * 1 = 5

any number * 1 = same number

[grizzled raven]

just cause * 1 is 100 and *10 is 928

but

[cinder patio]

You are multiplying (4 * 23) by 10

which is 920

And Math.floor(25 / 3) is 8

[trim saddle]

wouldn't these be 0n if they were wrong...

[grizzled raven]

yeah i got it, just needed to add some brackets

[lament rock]

If the permission was not in the bitfield, the output would be 0n

If it was, & returns the permission

[earnest phoenix]

Why is this not working..

[crimson vapor]

what is got?

[earnest phoenix]

Just a package for it

[trim saddle]

all my comparisons are getting bigger than 0

[crimson vapor]

ive never heard of this

[cinder patio]

maybe you should stop copying code and start trying to understand how it works

[lament rock]

probably some obscure http lib lol

[earnest phoenix]

Yea, it’s pretty unknown

[crimson vapor]

use node-fetch

or anything popular

[earnest phoenix]

It’s made for

So it can’t send different images etc

[lament rock]

What's the bitfield?

[earnest phoenix]

they're a help vampire lol they won't listen to anything you got to say

they've been told to go learn javascript and read useful articles more times than i have fingers on my body

[trim saddle]

hmm

[earnest phoenix]

Maybe you should stfu every time I see you here you’re just here to go after the newbie coders maybe you should stfu and stop saying stuff like that

[lament rock]

@ mods

[trim saddle]

2147483647n @lament rock

[earnest phoenix]

[trim saddle]

actually

this seems wrong for the one permission i'm using

[lament rock]

How did you get this bitfield?

[earnest phoenix]

i'm popping off on you because you're a help vampire, i have no problems with new people at all, i'm glad to help them whenever i can and it's super nice being able to direct them at docs

you however, actively refuse to read any useful resource that's thrown at you and then complain "WHY THIS NO WORK????" when you found the code in a garbage can equivalent
@earnest phoenix

[cinder patio]

That is the biggest 32-bit integer

[earnest phoenix]

What you want? Want me to go use your codes in GitHub?

codes

lol

cringe

[lament rock]

@trim saddle this bitfield has every permission

[mellow kelp]

at this point we're the ones making his bot

[earnest phoenix]

this tbh

[trim saddle]

hm.

[earnest phoenix]

we contributed to your code more than you yourself

[trim saddle]

oh lol

i mapped the wrong array

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix I’m gonna be honest I don’t learn shit from documents I’ve read the documents but don’t understand em

because you don't read with understanding

[cinder patio]

I think this channel should be moderated more strictly and people like Partyman should get blacklisted

[earnest phoenix]

you just skim read it

and then complain how you don't understand it

the type of person who doesn't think while reading a book and then complains the book is shit and doesn't make sense

when all you had to do was actively think about what you're reading

[earnest phoenix]

No I read it carefully

[cinder patio]

How old are you @earnest phoenix ?

[earnest phoenix]

if you're interested why everyone hates what you're doing, read https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/19665/the-help-vampire-problem

@cinder patio bruh what’s that kind of question?

[trim saddle]

case "object":
    let n = 0
    // perms: array with permission keys
    Object.keys(perms).map(p => n = n | guildPermissions[p])
    this.permissions = BigInt(n)
    break

[earnest phoenix]

I’m 14

[trim saddle]

@lament rock maybe i'm parsing things wrong

[earnest phoenix]

Almost nearly I’m 13 rn but 14 in 21th February

[trim saddle]

wait...

[earnest phoenix]

they know about the 13+ limit so they're probably going to lie about their age

[trim saddle]

FUCK

[lament rock]

[trim saddle]

don't say anything papi

don't.

[lament rock]

Alright

I'll spare you the pain

[trim saddle]

thank you.

forgot it wasn't actually an object i guess.

[earnest phoenix]

Bruh seriously?

[lament rock]

pain

[cinder patio]

what is it 👀 is it because you're mapping the keys

[earnest phoenix]

Ya fucking joking me? Ya telling me I’m under 13 just because I copy n paste codes 🤦‍♂️

i cannot explain how much cringe my body felt by reading this message

How?..

[cinder patio]

they cannot explain

[trim saddle]

@earnest phoenix in all honesty, you shouldn't be copying without understanding what they mean

[lament rock]

Object.keys(ArrayLike) returns the Array indexes which would still technically be correct if you're accessing Array[key]

[earnest phoenix]

@trim saddle but tf is he saying that I’m underage?

notice how i said probably

Notice how I said ||stfu||

lol

i love script kiddies

they're amazing

[trim saddle]

wouldn't the Object.keys() for an array just be index numbers

[lament rock]

Ye

Log some values to find out :)

[earnest phoenix]

I love fat asses that sit on their chair using their pc’s 24/7 @earnest phoenix

[solemn latch]

i feel insulted

[earnest phoenix]

They’re amazing at coding

Like amazing

i love fat asses too

i like it thick i like it fat yeah

[trim saddle]

well they're stringed so it would still return an undefined

[mellow kelp]

[earnest phoenix]

Ofc you do

[lament rock]

Oh yeah. I forget Object.keys returns Array<string>

[trim saddle]

finally

[lament rock]

[earnest phoenix]

@earnest phoenix Alr I’ll try to learn send me all the important documents only the important ones

[trim saddle]

alright

work time

bye peoples

[lament rock]

have fun cutie

[cinder patio]

#development message

[trim saddle]

it'll be hard but ok

[cinder patio]

also you can do n |=

[earnest phoenix]

@cinder patio any others?

@opal plank typescript is bullying me

Just give them rn, since now I’ll go hardcore on them

well, vsc theoretically

[lament rock]

If you read all of that and grasp the concepts they teach you, you won't be asking questions like you just asked today

TS does like to bully

[earnest phoenix]

** Just give them rn, since now I’ll go hardcore on them**

it keeps screaming to configure my excludes but

[cinder patio]

I just gave toy

[earnest phoenix]

and the tsconfig is at the root of the project

[lament rock]

control shift p => restart TS server

[opal plank]

thats normal

[cinder patio]

Try closing and opening Vscode, this happened to me once

[earnest phoenix]

@cinder patio so those are the only one?

[lament rock]

that's a good thing to do when TS is being dumb

Just restarting TS server is sufficient

[earnest phoenix]

seems to work

[cinder patio]

yea that works too

[earnest phoenix]

thank

[lament rock]

Older versions require restarts more often, but I assume people spring for newer versions anyways

[earnest phoenix]

LOL

[lament rock]

TS bundled with VSCode might be out of date so I just tell it to use npm installed binaries

[earnest phoenix]

hm

might be the reason why it broke

im running 4.1.3

but on an older project everything seems to be fine

[lament rock]

I think that's latest

[earnest phoenix]

Want me to nitro boost lol?

nobody gives a single shit go talk in general

nobody gives a shit about your exsictence please go sit on your fat ass

[sinful belfry]

can you both be polite to one another

[earnest phoenix]

yeah, that was the problem, vsc seems to be running 4.1.2 in the bundle

[sinful belfry]

this is not the place to argue, and general conversation should be in #general @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

@sinful belfry ima be honest his been after me since I came to this channel and I’m tired now

And that’s like 9 days ago or something

Yea I really am pissed now

[sinful belfry]

im not asking what has happened, im telling you that general conversation should be in #general and you shouldnt be arguing here

so please stop

[earnest phoenix]

Alr

[lament rock]

Oh okay. I see. Still kind of odd since newer versions like 4.1.2 should still be okay. I meant older in general terms like TS 3.x
It never hurts to tell VSC to use npm bundled, but it doesn't make you impervious to TS just being stupid

[drifting wedge]

in python, how can i do like: if "joe" is in this list 3 times, do this

[umbral zealot]

probably regex then count the results.

[earnest phoenix]

Tsk tsk tsk

[craggy pine]

Party, as people said earlier. Please talk in #general if you're not asking or helping for development questions.

[crimson vapor]

how should I access client on a class but if you were to log the class, client would not show up? js/ts

would private property work?

and how would I do that in js

[umbral zealot]

pretty sure there is a private property on classes.

[crimson vapor]

ik about that on ts but what about js?

[lament rock]

JS doesn't have private properties. You could manage the reference in a variable in the root scope and use a getter to return the value. Getters do not show up in logs

[crimson vapor]

and is private what I am looking for?

[umbral zealot]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Classes/Private_class_fields

Since node 12 and on all recent browser that aren't, like, safari or some other archaic thing 😛

[lament rock]

Hm. Node 12. Not sure why I haven't seen this

strange implementation nonetheless

[umbral zealot]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sudden geyser]

Safari supports private class fields, but only in technology preview atm

[solemn leaf]

var width = 400, height = 400, buffer = Buffer.alloc(width * height * 4);

for (var y = 0; y < height; y++) {
    for (var x = 0; x < width; x++) {
        var pos = (y * width + x) * 4;
        buffer[pos] = 0;
        buffer[pos + 1] = 10;
        buffer[pos + 2] = 100;
        buffer[pos + 3] = 255;
    }
}

message.channel.send("loading", { files: [buffer] })

It sends the image, but its a jpg that doesnt display anything

[drifting wedge]

for flask
do i use asyncio.sleep or time.sleep?

[sudden geyser]

If you're in an async scope, use asyncio.sleep. If you're in a blocking scope, use time.sleep (which blocks)

[mellow kelp]

so uh

is it possible to set a prototype property of a class as an different empty object for each instance?

i tried TheClass.prototype.obj = {} but that just passes the same object reference to every instance

[earnest phoenix]

@umbral zealot lmao I thought that said private ass fields LOL

[halcyon kite]

uhh hey guys how do you fetch a channel of ur choice?

[silent cloud]

Yo guys

Can somebody help

Code part

https://hastebin.com/kazixaxocu.js

Thats a translate command

I have error about results(const) empty

But why

[tranquil drum]

What’s the error exactly

[halcyon kite]

ok umm another question
how do i make it so the amount works look heres what happens

and here is the code:

yeah its big

[solemn latch]

look at the second args value

[halcyon kite]

u mean the args[1]

[solemn latch]

yep

[halcyon kite]

ok

hmmm

this happens

hmm

[thick horizon]

How to have a Range Developer?

[earnest phoenix]

Show the code's part where the error is

[halcyon kite]

look this happens: this is code:

[opal plank]

that isnt the code

thats the command

[halcyon kite]

ik im sending wait

[opal plank]

do you use visual studio code?

[halcyon kite]

yes

[opal plank]

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/debugging

read that

[earnest phoenix]

Does debugging work in a discord bot code?

[opal plank]

of course

[earnest phoenix]

Oh right

[halcyon kite]

uhh well here
is code anyways:

[earnest phoenix]

You are using args[0]

[solemn latch]

you are using args[0]

jinx you owe me a soda

[earnest phoenix]

That takes the command

[sudden geyser]

Looks very repetitive

[earnest phoenix]

You must use args[3]

2*

[quartz kindle]

fetching from the db a bunch of times and then never using it

[solemn latch]

or args[1] depending how you define args

[earnest phoenix]

Ya

[earnest phoenix]

He must fetch data from the db only if it's neccesary, i think.

[halcyon kite]

ok

hmmm

wair

i dont need 4 of those fetch

[crimson vapor]

stonks

[earnest phoenix]

Lmao

[quartz kindle]

you see that the variables are colored differently?

that gray-blue color means the variable is not being used anywhere

[earnest phoenix]

Ya

Or readed

It's the same thing ikr

[halcyon kite]

annnd nothing happens.

items is needed tho

[earnest phoenix]

Only if you will use it, otherwise don't fetch that data.

(It's a suggestion)

[halcyon kite]

hm

[quartz kindle]

you have a CSP header that prevents using external urls as image sources

[earnest phoenix]

xd

[halcyon kite]

look nothing happens

this me friend

[solemn latch]

are you still using args[0]?

[earnest phoenix]

Tim our savior

[halcyon kite]

no i am using args[1]

[earnest phoenix]

Use 2

I said 2

[halcyon kite]

ok

[earnest phoenix]

1 gets the "pokeball" string

[quartz kindle]

what are you using for webserver?

[earnest phoenix]

Tim you are our savior lmao

[quartz kindle]

whats the webserver software

nginx? node?

[halcyon kite]

annnnnnnnnnnd

[earnest phoenix]

Ubuntu as webserver software?

[quartz kindle]

nginx reverse proxy?

[earnest phoenix]

Is that possible?

[halcyon kite]

this is with args[2]

[solemn latch]

log your args

[halcyon kite]

k

[quartz kindle]

show your reverse proxy config

do you have set headers for content security policy?

[halcyon kite]

didnt log

oof

[craggy pine]

How did you write your console.log()

[halcyon kite]

i did console.log("test")

tho should i put the thing

[craggy pine]

So that means it never reached that part of the code

[halcyon kite]

yeah

[craggy pine]

so you know it's something before that.

[halcyon kite]

yep

[craggy pine]

Instead of asking for every time it doesn't work, you can play around wit the args[] and whatnot until it does.

[quartz kindle]

why do you have both proxy_pass and proxy_redirect?

[craggy pine]

since you can use console.log() to log each step to figure out where it breaks

[halcyon kite]

if(isNaN(args[1])) {
            message.channel.send("specify a number.")
        }
        if(purchase === 'pokeball'){
            let pball2 = args[1] * 250
            if(amount < 250) return message.channel.send('You do not have enough money to buy this pack/item. Please try another one');
            db.subtract(`money_${message.author.id}`, pball2);
            db.add(`pokeball_${message.author.id}`, args[1]);
            console.log("log1")
            message.channel.send(`You just bought a pokeball pack!`)
        }

this is the args[1] part

[solemn latch]

where are you logging it

[halcyon kite]

for pokeball

[solemn latch]

🤔

[halcyon kite]

the console.log

afterdb.add

it sends the isNaN

well not the log part

[solemn latch]

thats in an if statement thats not running and doesnt contains args

[halcyon kite]

in discord it sends isNaN

[solemn latch]

log it outside all if statements, and log the args variable

[halcyon kite]

ok here wait

[quartz kindle]

do you have Content Security Policy anywhere in your nginx configs? even outside of the proxy block?

just so we dont add duplcated stuff

[halcyon kite]

if(isNaN(args[1])) {
            message.channel.send("specify a number.")
        }
        console.log("log1")
``` this works

it logged

[solemn latch]

log the ARGS

so we can see whats in it plox

not "log1"

[halcyon kite]

here

this is what it logged

i said 1 pokeball to buy

[solemn latch]

your args dont seem to be args

[halcyon kite]

yeah ik

[earnest phoenix]

Also, you must use return(?

[solemn latch]

why would you name it args if its not args 🤔

[quartz kindle]

he probably did console.log(args[1])

[solemn latch]

ag

[halcyon kite]

e\

e jfnmszlvj

this is my brain

[earnest phoenix]

Mm

[halcyon kite]

i swear it has died at this point or it has died before

:/

[earnest phoenix]

I think you must use return to prevent executing the rest of the code and getting any error

[quartz kindle]

i was never alive

xD

[halcyon kite]

true

[earnest phoenix]

Lol

[halcyon kite]

XD

[halcyon kite]

yes i did do that lol so what do i put bc my brain is still DYING

sad

[quartz kindle]

when they asked you to log args, they meant console.log(args)

[halcyon kite]

ooh

[earnest phoenix]

lmao

[halcyon kite]

im brain ded

[quartz kindle]

so they could see what the variable args looks like

[earnest phoenix]

Ya

Show us where is defined arga

Args*

[halcyon kite]

there

this is log

[quartz kindle]

because once you see how args looks like, then you also see which index is the correct one

see, so pokeball is index 0, and "1" is index 1

[craggy pine]

so '1' would bne index 1

[halcyon kite]

ok

[quartz kindle]

so args[1] is correct

[halcyon kite]

ik

[earnest phoenix]

Lol

[halcyon kite]

args[2] was wrong

[earnest phoenix]

Oh

[halcyon kite]

yeah

also this sadly was the first error
