You can't just take a bot online and then throw in random code from some other bot and expect it to work. Please learn javascript first.

How do i get the json information of my bot's ratelimits bucket?
earnest phoenix
ratelimits aren't returned in json, they're returned in the request headers (except when you're actually ratelimited, you get Retry-After header set in the json response)
also
your lib should handle ratelimits for you
why do you want to access those
signal summit
Just to make sure my bot doesn't gets ratelimited?
As far as i know discord.py creators say it handles the ratelimits for me
tired panther
As far as i know discord.py creators say it handles the ratelimits for me
you can even hit the ratelimits even if they handle them
signal summit
Yes
modest maple
I mean you can hit ratelimits
signal summit
That's what's worrying the heck outta me
modest maple
the libs just re-schedule and wait till it clears before sending again
signal summit
So again asking is there a way to enquire information about ratelimits bucket or i take steps (make some sort of wrapper) to prevent bot sending messages too quickly?
tired panther
That's what's worrying the heck outta me
you should not do something like, change channel names every minutes
modest maple
again, you're library should already handle that for you
you dont know the ratelimit untill you hit it when it gives you how long to wait for

in discord.py i know i can do @has_permission(permission=True) but i need it to be more modular like if ctx.author has permission == permission or if ctx.author.role in approved_roles: is this possible? whats the method to get a users permission, ive been searching up online but most of the results for me are either outdated using the old discord library or only cover the first method which is not what i need.

And just get the attribute you want to check and it'll return boolean. If you wanna list out all the perm the author has, you can do [perm for perm, allowed in permissions if allowed], it'll return list of str

I have it looking at the files and its able to tell me the files that are in the folder, but I can't figure out how to reload them and cache new ones.

you can clear the cache
then re run the command loader

umbral zealot
didn't you have a full command handler earlier with commands in their own files
that you copied from github somewhere
earnest phoenix
Add the kick command also man its just code for ban
bro im making 2 different files
one for kick
and one for ban
kick is working fine
but ban is not
old cliff
Thats not how its done
You just run 1 insuance of the bot
And add the kick command and ban command in one file
First learn js
umbral zealot
Theory: You took this ban command from an online tutorial and tried to paste it in ./commands/ban.js
All the commands that are working fine are the ones you stole from the original repository with the rest of the bot, don't pretend like you actually wrote anything.
earnest phoenix
anyways, after resetting token ban command also worked
earnest phoenix
n yes, discord.js publically posted an example of ban n kick command

I'm over here with a 600+ server bot that I hand made, barely copy pasted shit and if I did it was because something didn't look right and I couldn't figure out where to put a line.

umbral zealot
I mean, obviously if you think I'm wrong, @swift umbra , you're free to DM them fully made code that's working, and keep doing it. Falling victim to a help vampire is nothing to be ashamed of, if you feel you're doing something right by it.

you took files from readdirSync and gave it directly to load/unload as a first parameter

stable nimbus
I look at each directory and then read whats in each directory.
quartz kindle
exactly
so logically, you have to do the same thing
before you can give the file and path to load/unload
look at each directory, read whats in each directory, and use load/unload on each file found
stable nimbus

its not that hard

hello ๐ I'm getting to sharding and if I understand the concept correctly, each shard runs duplicate bot code?
so if I'm posting server count on top.gg from the bot.js every 60 minutes, does it mean each shard will post it each hour instead of just once? should I move the post code to the new sharding manager file - index.js then?
same with getting top leaderboards from my db, if I pull from database top players every hour, does it mean it would run the same code 10 times with 10 shards?

<@!188836645670223872> how should a queue system be implemented?
my personal thinking is i make a global array and the write waits till its the top of the array and then writes and removes from the array
quartz kindle
what kind of queueing you do need?
crimson vapor
nah it needs to be more advanced than a simple array
json db
try to lower the writes
quartz kindle
because if you're splitting into many files, you dont need queueing, unless you need to write to the exact same file at the same time, which you can mitigate by using writeFileSync
earnest phoenix
nah it needs to be more advanced than a simple array
m whelp i just gave away what i was going to do so
crimson vapor
because if you're splitting into many files, you dont need queueing, unless you ...
1 file tho for me
quartz kindle
writeFileSync is blocking but since the files are small, the amount of block time will be pretty much irrelevant
earnest phoenix
because if you're splitting into many files, you dont need queueing, unless you ...
mka imma trust you on that, mainly because im too lazy to implement what i just said
crimson vapor
iirc I don't use writeFIleSync
earnest phoenix
earnest phoenix
iirc I don't use writeFIleSync
do like me and split the file way up
crimson vapor
/**
* Write to the DB
* @param data Data to be written
* @returns {boolean} success
*/
_write(data) {
// Check if "data" is the wrong data type
if (data === undefined) throw new Error('Tried to write to DB without any data');
if (!['object', 'array'].includes(typeof data)) throw new TypeError('data must be of type "object" or "array"');
// Write to "tmp/data.json" and rename file. Throws if errors
try {
data = JSON.stringify(data);
fs.writeFileSync(this._tmpFilePath, data, 'utf8');
fs.renameSync(this._tmpFilePath, this.path);
return true;
} catch (err) {
throw new Error('An error occured when writing to the DB:\n' + err);
}
}```dunno, i hate queue systems
crimson vapor
I do
crimson vapor
dunno, i hate queue systems
rip, I need a way to not corrupt files
quartz kindle
also if you implement the "write temp then rename" you also dont need queueing nor sync, so you get non-blocking as well, best of both worlds
crimson vapor
don't just want to rely on blocking

``` How would I be able to read the IDs in blacklistedUsers in my main index.js file?no not really
the way you are doing this isn't very good
it would be easier to do message.client.blacklistedUsers = new Set() but you need to deal with not creating a new set every command
also, a Set is not persistant
every time the bot restarts, the set would reset
assuming you aren't resetting it every time you run the command
wheat mesa
Yeah, I'm fine with it resetting. I'd rather not deal with any sort of database storage solutions as this is just a bot for my friends and I to use and mess around with

but it doesn't work that way either
you're creating a new set every time the command is executed

discordjs, I got the sharding manager working, but I have pieces of code like setLeaderboards, which runs like 1000db reads almost at once each hour and I just can't make it run from one shard
crimson vapor
what db do you use?
solemn latch
is there a reason you need to do that many reads?
all my leaderboard stuff i would do in one request, and then cache it.

trim saddle
@crimson vapor you
crimson vapor

trim saddle
how do i do sharding
smoky herald
it's vanilla MongoDB
wait, am I misunderstanding the definition of read? one request = one read?
I thought each document I get even as part of one query counts as read
crimson vapor
one request is one read
smoky herald
aka if I make a find request and limit it with 50 returns its 50 reads?
smoky herald
solemn latch
which you probably shouldnt be doing
smoky herald
one request, one read
well, good to know ๐ leaderboards aren't the case where I'm looping, it's one find request ๐
solemn latch
mongodb at full scale can handle millions of requests an hour iirc.
crimson vapor
full scale !== 1 process on a 2 core vps
full scale is like a full dedi just for the db
