it does not return anything

[tight plinth]

anyway, I have a bot that sends some things daily, and i want the user to easily edit the time where the bot will send the things like this:

User input: `!settings time 7AM`
Bot output: Successfully set the time of when I will send the facts to **7AM CET**!```The timezone will be CET no matter what, and i want the bot to set something like `Date.now() + time until 7AM CET` to it's db. How can I make that happen?

@eternal osprey I would not recommend using JSON as a database personally, as it can easily break and/or be corrupted

[eternal osprey]

I understand, Thanks!

But i need to do this in json tho.

[tight plinth]

o

[lament rock]

If you're constantly writing data to a json, you should not use a json file. json is only recommended to read from

If you absolutely need something high level, use sqlite

[lament rock]

What precision do you allow users to set times to? seconds? minutes? hours?

[tight plinth]

minutes

(thanks google) I guess js Date.parse("5/4/2021 7:30 AM") works, but im pretty sure the user will be able to abuse it and set the time to 69 years somehow

[lyric mountain]

first of all, you might need to use crontab

then just use regex to match keywords

[lament rock]

Okay. I think it would be within reason to have a single interval which queries the database every minute to see if there are any reminders meant to be sent within that minute.

The alternative would be to store intervals in a Map keyed by user IDs and clear the Interval then re-set.

I think having possibly a bunch of timers ticking on a single thread wouldn't be the best idea. That being said, I would go for the query database option

[eternal osprey]

let last1 = Object.values(mons).find(m => m.name === `${found.name}`)
                        fs.writeFileSync("./mons.json", JSON.stringify(mons), e =>{
                            //Handle error
                             last1.owner = `${targetMember.id}`; //Setting the owner ID
                            });
                                ```i am trying to change the owner ids.

it is not working tho

[humble rock]

module.exports = class BaseEvent {
    name;
    
    constructor(name) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    async run(client, ...args) {};
}

i got this error:
TypeError: Class extends value undefined is not a constructor or null

[lament rock]

remove the name; at the top.

declaring class properties is only necessary in TypeScript

[humble rock]

ok

nope

it still doesn't work

[lament rock]

Well. The error doesn't correspond with that code block. Look at the stack to see where the error is coming from. The issue is trying to extend something which is undefined or null or doesn't have any constructor signatures

[humble rock]

const { BaseEvent } = require('../Bases/BaseEvent');

module.exports = class Ready extends BaseEvent {
    constructor() {
        super("ready")
    }

    async run(client) {
        const guildcount = client.guild.cache.size
        const username = client.user.username

        console.log(`${username} is now ready!`)
        client.user.setActivity(` over ${guildcount}`, { type: 'WATCHING' })
    }
}

[lament rock]

do not deconstruct the require
Export is of type BaseEvent
not { BaseEvent: typeof BaseEvent }

[humble rock]

can you modify as well my text

[humble rock]

[lament rock]

All you need to change is the require statement. The export of that file is a class. Not an Object holding the class instance

[opal plank]

yo, what does discord use for colors again?

its not hex

[lament rock]

Idk if it's rgb

[opal plank]

i forgot the number name for the values

its not rgb

[lament rock]

figured

[opal plank]

its something else, but i forgot how to search color number

it just says color code

but whats the actual name of those color codes

its not hex for sure, not rgb either

[lament rock]

Discord.js logic to parse strings to number seems to suggest it's hex.

Their use of 0xffffff is hex

[opal plank]

ugh thats annoying cuz the raw api uses integerrs

not hex

[prime fox]

uhhh

someone help

for some reason my site only loads on edge

just freezes

chrome

[lament rock]

@opal plank They seem to parse the int to a radix of 16

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/parseInt

[prime fox]

edge

[opal plank]

ty ❤️

[prime fox]

nvm it was the service-worker script

[lament rock]

mhm. I guess I should clarify that that was converting hex to what Discord accepts. Idk the inverse of that operation

[fierce ether]

     await reaction.message.reactions.remove(matchEmojis[3])``` whats correct way of removing a reaction by id?

[opal plank]

that gives me the idea of what to do tho, thanks

[lament rock]

ReactionManager.cache.get(id).remove()

Message.reactions is of type ReactionManager

[fierce ether]

thx

[keen bison]

my bot uses heroku redis as a cloud storage system

and im on 9 of my 50 alloted MB
and its throwing a memory full error

i dont know why

and everything ive done to fix it deosnt work

help

;(

[nocturne geode]

anyone know why when i type !help in discord nothing actually happens?

[lyric mountain]

is your whole bot hosted on heroku?

[keen bison]

yes

[dusky sundial]

Does it give any errors?

[nocturne geode]

im not sure

[lyric mountain]

then the error is not with redis, but with your bot

it's reaching the max memo

[dusky sundial]

Well there's an easy way to find out isn't there?

[lament rock]

50MB alloc

[nocturne geode]

i cant see the console for the bot though

[dusky sundial]

Why not?

[nocturne geode]

i dont know how

[keen bison]

but my bot only stores stuff on the redis thing and its an OOM redis error

[dusky sundial]

How are you running the bot then?

[lament rock]

Pretty sure Redis instances and application dynos are separate

[lyric mountain]

the bot itself also uses memory

[keen bison]

redis.exceptions.ResponseError: OOM command not allowed when used memory > 'maxmemory'.

[nocturne geode]

im running it of heroku and before i could see the console now its changed and im not sure where to find it

[lyric mountain]

your redis is sharing memory with your bot

it's expected to reach memo limit

[dusky sundial]

Well, I'm pretty sure .setTitle() is supposed to take a string

[keen bison]

it shouldnt bcause the bot itslef is quite small

its like 50kb

[lyric mountain]

don't see file size

file sizes are irrelevant

[nocturne geode]

oh yeah it should and i dont have a string

[lyric mountain]

even a small bot could use 4GB of memory

[dusky sundial]

C-create one?

[lament rock]

I would love to see a Discord bot which only takes 50kb of mem

[lyric mountain]

that's not a bot, that's a microprocessor

[lament rock]

I probably couldn't even write a gateway lib which fits in that memory space

[lyric mountain]

think of bots as being balloons

when you use it it inflates

[nocturne geode]

it works now ty for the help

[dusky sundial]

You should figure out how to see the terminal, otherwise you're gonna have a really hard time

[nocturne geode]

yeah ill try to figure it out

[lyric mountain]

heroku's teminal is in the log tab

[nocturne geode]

wheres the log tab?

[lyric mountain]

dropdown menu on the top right

[keen bison]

it doesnt use that much mem

[nocturne geode]

i think mines different or something

[proven lantern]

I think i found a discord bug. when someone uses a one time use invite link to a voice channel they can always view the channel even if i remove their view permission.

[dusky sundial]

This is more than 50kb tho

[keen bison]

yes but well within limits

still returning the oom memory error

[quartz kindle]

your redis is 50mb or 500mb?

[lament rock]

50mb is extraordinarily small for a redis instance

[quartz kindle]

wtf

the free version is only 25mb lmao

also fucking 15 bucks a month, and guess how much you get

fucking 50mb

LMAO

[astral forge]

I need help, my commands arent responding

[lament rock]

Jesus christ

What a scam

[astral forge]

bruh how

[quartz kindle]

fucking 1gb redis instance costs 200 bucks per month

LMAO

[astral forge]

Can someone help please?

[quartz kindle]

guess how much 100gb costs

(their max plan)

[astral forge]

??

[lament rock]

Tell me the number

[lament rock]

Holy fucking shit

[astral forge]

can anyone help me? please?

[quartz kindle]

show code

and errors/logs

[astral forge]

thats the thing.

there is no error

it just wont respond to the command

[fierce ether]

trying to create a convert time function js convertTime(time){ const m = moment(time) return m.toNow(); } using ?time 2d

how am i going wrong?

always returns in a day

[astral forge]

oops

[lament rock]

So, then it's a logical issue with finding a command and calling the function to execute

[quartz kindle]

hence "show code"

[astral forge]

theres the code

I need help with this issue, my bot isn't working and it's not Saying the Logs

[quartz kindle]

hastebin pls

[astral forge]

well yea

like one or two things in there are from pastebin

but its been working fine

until now idk why

[lament rock]

He meant put the code in hastebin so we can see it. We don't wanna download a text file to help you

[astral forge]

oh LMFAO

lmao i just exposed my self

then

[lament rock]

[astral forge]

eh idc im a begineer so

[alpine coyote]

Hey

[quartz kindle]

"i copied this code from internet, why not work"

[astral forge]

https://hatebin.com/lmvitublpb

[astral forge]

it worked

so

idk what u mean

[quartz kindle]

then why it doesnt anymore?

did you change anything

[astral forge]

nope

[lament rock]

have you tried restarting the process

[astral forge]

yes

like 100 times

and ive kicked the bot

and made it rejoin

still does not work

[lament rock]

Lol okay

[astral forge]

oh did i post it in the wrong thing lmao

or will that work too

i did hatebin instead of hastebin on accident lol

[quartz kindle]

doesnt matter, as long as we can read the code without having to download anything

i dont use python but i remember someone saying you shouldnt mix commands with events

try removing the message event and see if the other commands work

also, is the bot even logged in?

[astral forge]

when did i mix commands and events

[lament rock]

You're writing annotations for both client commands and events

[astral forge]

where

what line

[lament rock]

You literally have written
@client.command() and @client.event
Those are annotations for client commands and events

[astral forge]

oh right here?

[lament rock]

Yeah. And also the message event

[astral forge]

so should i put the event before the command

[slate rose]

Hello, So am currently trying to animate the Creators avatars on my bots page on top.gg. I need some help cause I am not mentally there with css. I tried a few different things and they failed . If you know how to do this please dm me cause i'm .

[lament rock]

Don't mix them in the same file is what the suggestion looks like

[astral forge]

so like this?

[lament rock]

css animations

[astral forge]

https://hatebin.com/bvowwpgvup

like this?

[lament rock]

No. Try putting them in different files or remove the events and test

[astral forge]

oh

[slate rose]

You fr gonna do me like that ?

[lament rock]

[slate rose]

Pain

Hello, So am currently trying to animate the Creators avatars on my bots page on top.gg. I need some help cause I am not mentally there with css. I tried a few different things and they failed . If you know how to do this please dm me cause i'm .

Please and thanks

[astral forge]

why is it giving me errors

then

if i put it in a different file

[lament rock]

well. What are the errors

[astral forge]

lol

wait a minute dont clown me

im new to python

just tell me what im doing wrong

[slate rose]

[lament rock]

client isn't defined. You'll have to export client to that file somehow

[astral forge]

oh wait

[slate rose]

So I just get ignored but this guy gets help

[lament rock]

I'm not a front end developer

[slate rose]

[lament rock]

For a good reason, too

[astral forge]

got it

[astral forge]

yes

bruh wait

[slate rose]

k

[astral forge]

whenever i run the event code

it just crashes

[lament rock]

lmao

[astral forge]

what

[lament rock]

Just try removing the event code temporarily. Only run the client commands to see if they work

[astral forge]

https://hatebin.com/kydqsdznnj

this is my event code

POG

it works without events

then how am i supposed to get events

i found out whats wrong

mixing them is fine

or atleast it works

but there was one that messed everything up lmao

[quartz kindle]

i remember someone saying that if you use the commands extension, then it will create an internal on_message to handle the commands for you

and if you write your own on_message you're basically disabling the one responsible for the commands

[astral forge]

lol

what should i replace it with

??

[slate rose]

Helllo, so I need help with my bot

V

https://glitch.com/edit/#!/heathered-iodized-afternoon?path=app.js%3A25%3A15

this is my glitch project

my bot does not want to go online

[astral forge]

LMFAO

code

oh wait

oh nvm i dont know js

i used to

[slate rose]

rip

bruh

[astral forge]

import discord

is what im used to lmao

i fixed the mod mail thing btw

[worn siren]

For some reason, this returns true for both me (boosting for 5 months) and my friend (boosting for one week)
I'm trying to make it return true when they've been boosting for more than a week, and false if not.

[fierce ether]

  const enabled = player.plugins.banned.enabled
    const time = player.plugins.banned.time
    if(enabled == true && Date.now - time >= 0) return user.send(bannedFromMatchmaking)``` this would return if enabled and the time is still not finish correcT?

[opal plank]

@fierce ether or.... you could just ```ts
if(enabled && Date.now() > time) //do stuff

[quartz kindle]

your thing is inverted and also you're removing 1 week from both of them

if premiumSinceTimestamp > Date.now() - 1week

[hearty remnant]

So due to the nature of globalchat I am working on global bans

[thorny abyss]

eyo anyone can help me on how to avoid TypeError: unexpected type, use Uint8Array in discord js?

[mellow kelp]

you're passing a wrong type to an argument or something

[thorny abyss]

It seems like it is thrown inside the api from time to time but it always crashes the bot when it happens

like once every month

[thorny abyss]

thanks any idea on how to prevent this?

[thorny abyss]

its not in my code its in the node module thats the problem

[mellow kelp]

hm

no idea then

[thorny abyss]

aight thanks anywayys

[hearty remnant]

@thorny abyss I have a script to auto restart on crash

Want it

[thorny abyss]

sure

[quartz kindle]

you're trying to play invalid data

either your audio stream got corrupted at some point, or it tried to play an invalid file

[thorny abyss]

That actually makes sense thanks alot!

Only thing thats weird: Shouldn't the stacktrace go up to the method that triggers the playing?

meaning up to my code?

[quartz kindle]

no

because the error is not caused by the triggering

[thorny abyss]

i see

[quartz kindle]

its caused in the middle of the stream, and by then the code that started the playing is already long gone

[thorny abyss]

makes sense im gonna take a look at the files then

thanks

[agile lance]

let money = db.all().filter(data => data.ID.startsWith(`bal`)).sort((a, b) => b.data - a.data)
        money.length = 10;
        let finalLb = "";
        for (var i in money) {
          
          finalLb += `**${money.indexOf(money[i])+1}.** | ${money[i].ID.slice(25)} - \`${money[i].data}🪙\`\n`;
        }
        
        
        const embed = new discord.MessageEmbed()
        .setTitle("Global Leaderboard")
        .setColor("#ff0000")
        .addField(`Leaderboard`, finalLb, false)
        message.channel.send(embed);
}```

Issue: Returns embed that is messed up [shown below].

[quartz kindle]

money[i].data is an object

you cant concatenate it like that

[agile lance]

how do i turn that into the amount of money the user has?

[quartz kindle]

either concatenate the individual properties of the object, or serialize it to JSON

[agile lance]

using quick.db is a pain

Why does money[i].ID.slice(25) return undefined?

[quartz kindle]

console.log(money[i].data)

[agile lance]

Ok

[quartz kindle]

console.log ID as well

you're slicing 25 characters off of it, so if the ID is anything smaller than 25 characters , it will basically make it empty

[hollow stump]

Anyone have any idea how to (from the discord API/endpoints) have a wrapper see if channel is nsfw channel?

[agile lance]

Thats what money[i].data returns

If I slice none will it return the full user id?

[quartz kindle]

see, data is an object that contains 2 ids and 2 values

which of those do you want to show in the embed?

[agile lance]

User ID and the bal

So like

#1 | USER ID - USER BAL

I need it to show all people though for the leaderboard

[quartz kindle]

yes but you have 2 users in that data

for some reason

[agile lance]

Yeah as 2 people have used my bot

[quartz kindle]

yes, but arent ids supposed to be saved in money[i].ID?

[agile lance]

In quick.db the ID is the name of the db

So if I logged sau

db.all();

It will look like

{
ID: 'bal',
data: { user id: bal, user id2: bal2 }
}

[quartz kindle]

so then you want to loop over data, not over money

[agile lance]

Its easier to show you 1 sex

sec*

[quartz kindle]

yes but you got your for loop wrong then

[limpid moth]

I want my bot to determine wether or not the message sent starts with the text "owo" and if it does then search through the array "list" if the message has any one of the values of the array

    const msg = message.content.toLowerCase();


    // Counting code
        if (msg.startsWith('owo')) {

            const afterowo = msg.slice(3).trim().split(/ +/);

            for (let i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {

                if (afterowo === (list[i])) {
                    message.channel.send('That was a command!');
                }
                else {
                    message.channel.send('That was not a command');
                }
                break;

            }

    }

[quartz kindle]

or are there multiple things with ID bal?

[agile lance]

Only 1 thing has id bal

[quartz kindle]

then get the thing with id bal, then loop over its data

not over itself

for(i in money.data)

[agile lance]

Ok

Is that all to change?

or do I have to change everything to money.data

[quartz kindle]

everything

for(let id in money.data) {
  `${id} - ${money.data[id]}`
}

[agile lance]

Ok

So finalLb += `**${money.indexOf(money[i])+1}.** | ${money[i].ID.slice(25)} - \`${money[i].data}🪙\`\n`;

[quartz kindle]

also dont use filter

use find

[agile lance]

Alr

[quartz kindle]

and no need to sort

if there is only one bal

[agile lance]

I thought I need sort for highest to lowest?

[quartz kindle]

data is not an array, its an object

[agile lance]

oh

[quartz kindle]

objects are not ordered

if you want to sort data, you have to convert it to array

[agile lance]

          
          finalLb += `**${money.indexOf(money[i].data)+1}.** | ${money[i].data.ID} - \`${money[i].data}🪙\`\n`;
        }```

Will this work?

[quartz kindle]

no

[agile lance]

Ahh I dont understand at all

[quartz kindle]

both afterowo and list are arrays, so you cant compare them like that. use array.some() with array.includes()

[limpid moth]

Ok

[agile lance]

Nothing seems to work for my leaderboard

I’ve used source code with a separate instance and still failed, idk whats wrong

[quartz kindle]

your code is simply incorrect for what you want to achieve

[agile lance]

I’ve spent like

40+ hours on it

And cant get it right

[quartz kindle]

first of all, if you have only 1 bal, then you should store is as a key

db.set("bal", { user1: balance1, user2:balance2, etc... })

[agile lance]

If I switch to say, mongoDB, and use zapmongo’s built in leaderboard function, will that work better?

[quartz kindle]

then you access it using db.get() instead of db.all()

[lyric mountain]

If it was only sql...lul

[quartz kindle]

they will be more complicated to setup than quick.db thats for sure

[lyric mountain]

Select * from user order by balance desc

[agile lance]

yeah. always worth a try though

mongo is probably better anywho

[quartz kindle]

probably

but your issue is not quick.db

its your code lol

[agile lance]

yeah but mongo db has a built in lb function

Lol

[quartz kindle]

which you can accomplish with 2 lines of code

[lyric mountain]

Built-in stuff are kinda dangerous I'd say

Like, you're stuck to whatever method it uses

[quartz kindle]

lets say you have the object bal like this ```js
obj = {
ID: "Bal",
data: {
"345346346": 1,
"498376083": 50
}
}

[agile lance]

yeah

[quartz kindle]

sortedarray = Object.entries(obj.data).sort((a,b) => b[1] - a[1])

that will give you this

[["4545345", 50], ["45394579", 1]]

or the other way around, i never rememeber which way is descending or ascending

its just a matter of switching a and b

[lyric mountain]

It'll be descending ig

[quartz kindle]

then you can simply do ```js
for(let user of sortedarray) {
field += ${user[0]} - ${user[1]} \n
}

[agile lance]

Yeah how will I make it show what rank they are?

[lyric mountain]

Indexed for loop

[agile lance]

Or for say, add a medal next to rank 1?

so like

[quartz kindle]

like the top 3 have medals?

[agile lance]

for(let i; i < user.length; i++) {
// code
}?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[agile lance]

yea

[quartz kindle]

you can do that

for(let i = 0; i < sortedarray.length; i++)

[agile lance]

Is “Object” a built in js thing?

[quartz kindle]

then instead of user[0] and user[1], you have to do sortedarray[i][0] and sortedarray[i][1]

yes

[lyric mountain]

All data types except primitives extend Object

So it's the deepest u can go in classes' hierarchy

[quartz kindle]

Object.keys() creates an array or keys
Object.values() creates an array of values
Object.entries() creates an array of key,value pairs

[agile lance]

So I can basically do the Object.entries(db.all().find(dta => dta.ID == "bal")).sort((a, b) => a[1] - b[1]);

[quartz kindle]

yes

[lyric mountain]

B - A

[agile lance]

alr

ill try it

ill do medals later. i just want the lb to function

Code is let sorted = Object.entries(db.all().find(dta => dta.ID == "bal")).sort((a, b) => a[1] - b[1]); let field = " " for(let user of sorted) { field += `${user[0]} - ${user[1]}` } message.channel.send(new discord.MessageEmbed() .setTitle("**Global Leaderboard**") .setDescription(field) )

[quartz kindle]

Object.entries(db.all().find(dta => dta.ID == "bal").data).sort((a, b) => a[1] - b[1]);

[agile lance]

Ohh

Forgot a key part

[quartz kindle]

use \n for newlines

[agile lance]

Ok

Can I use like \tab to separate the user id from the bal, or just keep it with -

[quartz kindle]

not sure if tab will work, you can try

[agile lance]

How can I limit it?

can I like use a .length and set that to a fixed amount?

To show say, 10 people at max

[limpid moth]

Must have done something wrong :/

    const msg = message.content.toLowerCase();
    const afterowo = msg.slice(3).trim().split(/ +/);
    function checkCommand() {
        return afterowo === list;
    }
    // Counting code
        if (msg.startsWith('owo')) {

            if (list.some(checkCommand) === true) {
                message.channel.send('That was a command.');

            }
            else if (list.some(checkCommand) === false) {
                message.channel.send('That was not a command');
            }


    else if (msg.includes('owo')) {

        message.channel.send('👍');

    }

[quartz kindle]

you can truncate the array by overriding its length

sorted.length = 10

[limpid moth]

Hug is in the list

[quartz kindle]

you're missing the includes, and also the parameter for some

[agile lance]

yep that worked tyvm

[pale vessel]

If the array is smaller than the length you set it to, you'll have <empty item> filling the rest

[agile lance]

i also made it show tag by fetching the user through client’s cache and returning user.tag

[agile lance]

Can’t I set the empty items to "Nobody#0000 - 0"?

[quartz kindle]

you can

but its easier to just put an if

if(sorted.length > 10) sorted.length = 10

[agile lance]

Okay

I could do like

o yea

[limpid moth]

How do I fix the parameter?

[quartz kindle]

.some iterates over each item of the array

so array.some(item => do something with item)

for each item of the array, you want to check if it exists in the other array

[agile lance]

it randomly stopped working

[quartz kindle]

so array.some(item => otherarray.includes(item))

[agile lance]

Cannot read property of 0 of undefined

sorted.length = 10
let field = " ";
for(let user of sorted) {
field += `User: ${user[0]} - Balance: ${user[1]}\n`
}
message.channel.send(new discord.MessageEmbed()
.setTitle("**Global Leaderboard**")
.setColor("BLUE")
.addField("**Balance Leaderboard**", field)
)```

[limpid moth]

Then you need to define the thing that is undefined

[agile lance]

Uhm

It isnt that easy

I’m pulling 0 from a array

Index 0

[quartz kindle]

remember the if?

[jolly mortar]

does anyone know how to make the bot send a message as soon as someone invites it to their server

[dusky sundial]

Could you use php to check if a specific python process is running?

[quartz kindle]

if(sorted.length > 10) sorted.length = 10

[agile lance]

Ohhh i forgot

My bad

[jolly mortar]

i got it to send a plain message but when i try to use a embed it dosnt work anymore

[agile lance]

I was like "Why isnt this working??"

[dusky sundial]

Show the code you use to create the embed

[jolly mortar]

lemmi find it rq

      .setTitle("test")
      .addField("test")
  .setTimestamp();
    message.channel.send(embed);
  }```

is what i put after the code that makes it send a message when its added

[dusky sundial]

Does it give you any errors when you try it?

[jolly mortar]

no

its just that it dosnt send after the 2nd time

[agile lance]

client.users.cache.get(user[0]).tag is returning undefined

user[0] returns a id

idk if this will work but I can try client.users.cache.find(u => u.id == user[0]).tag

[dusky sundial]

Could you show the code for the entire event?

[agile lance]

nope neither works

[jolly mortar]

let defaultChannel = "";
    guild.channels.cache.forEach((channel) => {
      if(channel.type == "text" && defaultChannel == "") {
        if(channel.permissionsFor(guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES")) {
          defaultChannel = channel;
        }
      }
    })
 let embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setTitle("test")
      .addField("test")
  .setTimestamp();
    defaultChannel.send(embed);
   })```

[pale vessel]

you should check if defaultChannel exists before sending the message

[dusky sundial]

Also, isn't .addField() supposed to take at least 2 arguments?

[jolly mortar]

yea i updated it

[pale vessel]

Also, instead of using forEach, just use collection.find()
guild.channels.cache.find(x => x.type == "text" && x.permissionsFor(guild.me).has("SEND_MESSAGES"))

much more simpler and it won't continue looping once it finds an element that matches the filter

[jolly mortar]

it works now yay

Is that a object

or an array?

[dusky sundial]

Pretty sure that's a json object

[agile lance]

Okay ty

[opal plank]

rule of the thumb

[dusky sundial]

surround it with [] to make an array

[opal plank]

starts with {} is object

[] array

() {} or () => {} function

[agile lance]

okay

How do you tell if a user can’t be dm’d

with .catch it doesnt reply anything like I tried

.catch(err => message.reply('can not dm.\n\n Back end error: '+err);

[pale vessel]

You can only catch it

[agile lance]

It logs the error but doesnt reply to the user running the cmd saying it cant be dms

[opal plank]

WHERE did you put that catch ?

if tis logging the error, you either didnt give the full snippet or its THROWING the error(not logging)

[agile lance]

I put it right after it sends the user so it says

[opal plank]

show full snippet

[agile lance]

message.author.send(...).catch(err => message.reply("You have dms turned off!"))

[opal plank]

[agile lance]

and in console it says

    at RequestHandler.execute (/home/runner/Augusts-bot-PRIVATE/node_modules/discord.js/src/rest/RequestHandler.js:154:13)
    at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:97:5)

(rejection id: 2)```

[opal plank]

then what is that thing above?

.catch(err => message.reply('can not dm.\n\n Back end error: '+err);

[agile lance]

that was what i tried the first time

it disnt work

so i changed it

still didnt work

[opal plank]

use a try/catch with await then

[agile lance]

ok

[solemn leaf]

Errwinn

Pleasee

Dont teach bad habits

[opal plank]

huh?

[solemn leaf]

((err) plsss

[opal plank]

what bad habits?

they arent even using the error though

[solemn leaf]

Then just do

()

[opal plank]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

too tired for that today

lets just say after this major rewrite my brain is barely functioning anymore

[solemn leaf]

Dont rewrite your brain

[vale raptor]

(discord.js) anyone know more specifically what "DiscordAPIError: Missing Access" might mean in the context of a guild fetch promise being rejected? it seems to happen at random times, with random guild ids, causing some fetches to fail for a reason I can't figure out.

[agile lance]

means it has no access to the server/channel your fetching

if(sorted.length > 10) sorted.length = 10
let sorted2 = Object.entries(db.all().find(dta2 => dta2.ID == "level").data).sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])
if(sorted2.length > 10) sorted2.length = 10
let field = " ";
let field2 = " ";
for(let user of sorted) {
field += `User: ${client.users.cache.find(u2 => u2.id == user[0]).tag} - Balance: ${user[1]}\n`
}
for(let user of sorted2) {
field2 += `User: ${client.users.cache.find(u => u.id == user[0]).tag} - Level: ${user[1]}\n`
}
message.channel.send(new discord.MessageEmbed()
.setTitle("**Global Leaderboard**")
.setColor("BLUE")
.addField("**Balance Leaderboard**", field)
.addField("**XP Leaderboard**", field2)
).catch(() => null)```

Error: Cannot read property of tag of undefined.

The code worked fine until I added the xp lb, whats the issue?

[opal plank]

likely you trying to fetch a guild that is still cached but they already removed your bot from it

[vale raptor]

no, I know it's happening in guilds that are using it currently. I've had it fail to fetch my own guild from the cache.

[opal plank]

then no, im not sure why that would ever happen

[vale raptor]

strange, it seems to happen in bursts too. sometimes there will be no errors for hours, then suddenly 3 people using the bot will throw 3 separate missing access errors.

I know this is too little information to really diagnose, I guess I'm just hoping someone else has experienced the same thing.

[lyric mountain]

Maybe some command is trying to access a channel it doesn't has access to

Also dm will throw that error if it's closed iirc

[vale raptor]

it happens in channels that I know the bot has access to, and the method throwing the error is client.guilds.fetch.

but it doesn't happen consistently in any channels

[agile lance]

pull from cache

and try to use .find not .catch

[vale raptor]

are you suggesting I check the cache first, then if nothing comes back, try .fetch? is that not what fetch already does?

[agile lance]

client.guilds.fetch is not a function

you have to fetch from cache

[earnest phoenix]

uh

no

[vale raptor]

client.guilds.fetch is definitely a function

I've been using it

[earnest phoenix]

cache is a collection

[mellow kelp]

that's not how it works

[agile lance]

it always told me it wasnt

so i always use .cache.fetch

[vale raptor]

the cache is a collection, and I'm not seeing a fetch method on the collection type. are you sure?

[agile lance]

oh wait

im mixing .fetch up with .find

my bad

[vale raptor]

plus if I just checked the cache, I'd still have to hit the API in some cases when the guild hasn't been cached recently.

[mellow kelp]

bruh

[slate oyster]

I successfully got Chatlink to double up as a bridge on the alpha version of my bot!

[sour warren]

is it a website?

[slate oyster]

It's a bot
The 2 clients pictured are Discord (Left) and Nertivia (Right)

[sour warren]

oh

whats that your on

[slate oyster]

The left one is Discord
The right one is Nertivia
That's 2 windows I have open

[sour warren]

ok

[lusty quest]

you could use webhooks to mimic the user who send the message. the user will still have the Bot tag but also you could have the users PFP and Nick

[sour warren]

how you make the bot come online

Frequently Asked Questions 📜

PLEASE READ BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS

[sour warren]

wrong website

[zenith terrace]

Thats pog

[pale vessel]

You can't

Don't you need a user token for that?

Which means that you can't since it counts as self botting

It's not documented in docs, only the GET operation is

[summer torrent]

wait you can't change vanity url of server with bot?

[pale vessel]

Have you tried this

br

Try it ig

It might still work even if it's not documented

Also, it's body, not payload

Also, the method should be PATCH I think

Not POST

[earnest phoenix]

isn't the vanity url only modifiable by the guild owner

[summer torrent]

nope

[earnest phoenix]

huh interesting

[pale vessel]

fetch("https://www.discord.com/api/v6/guilds/762359120031907871/vanity-url", {
        method: "PATCH",
        headers: { "authorization": `Bot ${client.token}`, "content-type": "application/json" },
        body: JSON.stringify({ code: "test458" })
});```might work, can't test it

Since you use Discord.js you can just use js client.api.guilds[<guiild id>]["vanity-url"].patch({ data: { code: <new vanity> } });

Yes

yes

[agile lance]

How do I sort a object in alphabetical order

[summer torrent]

what lang

[agile lance]

js

Also how do I delete a specific thing in a quick.db database?

Like I have a notes command

How do I delete a specific note

[summer torrent]

.delete(...)

[agile lance]

that clears the whole db I believe

according to the docs atleast

[terse jasper]

in ... u write what u wanna delete

i think

[agile lance]

db.delete('note'+message.author.id) will delete all notes

i need to clear only 1

[summer torrent]

for example

db.set("mynotes_1", "hello world")

db.delete("mynotes_1")

oh

[terse jasper]

hmm i tried to do it once but i didnt know how so i stopped

[agile lance]

hm

i can to do db.delete(notes, flitteredNote)

[earnest phoenix]

can i send a code i can't understand what's wrong?

[agile lance]

sure

[earnest phoenix]

This is the code

I am new to JavaScript

[agile lance]

how do you slice the first character of a string?

[earnest phoenix]

slice(0)

[agile lance]

ty brutha

[earnest phoenix]

wut?

[pale vessel]

That...does nothing

slice(1)

[earnest phoenix]

^

even better

index the string

[near stratus]

isn't this slice(1)

[agile lance]

How can I remove this comma

infront of every not besides top

[earnest phoenix]

isn't the first index 0?

[agile lance]

idk

[summer torrent]

show code

[pale vessel]

It's amount of characters, not index

[summer torrent]

you are doing join(",") probably

[kind crescent]

what is your .join()?

[earnest phoenix]

you're thinking of indexing the string instead of slicing, but yeah if your goal is to only get the first character you should index the string instead

"gay"[0] // "g"

[agile lance]

im doing args.join(' ')

[agile lance]

im doing args.join(' ')

[kind crescent]

can you show the code for your embed builder?

[agile lance]

  .setTitle('Your Notes')
  .setColor('RED')
  .setDescription(`${no}\n`)
  message.reply(eme)```

I can send my add notes command

if(!args.join(" ")|| n >= 10) return message.reply(`Error ID 166. Missing argument or exceeding note limit of 10!`)
message.reply('Note added.')
await db.push('note.'+message.author.id, args.join(' ')+'\n')
return db.add('notes.'+message.author.id, 1);```

[lusty quest]

you get the , bcs you display an array. idk if join() will actually remove the ,

[kind crescent]

have you tried

.setDescription(`${no.join('\n')`)

[agile lance]

no lemme try

works like a charm tyvm @kind crescent

[kind crescent]

No problem. If you ever get variables displaying in a way you dont want them to, try console.log to see how those variables actually look

[buoyant sinew]

or try catch error if you wont like errors in console

[eternal osprey]

    const mons = require("./mons.json");
            console.log(found.name)
            console.log(founds.name)
                        let last1 = Object.values(mons).find(m => m.name === `${found.name}`)
                        fs.writeFileSync("./mons.json", JSON.stringify(mons), e =>{
                            //Handle error
                             last1.owner = `${targetMember.id}`; //Setting the owner ID
                            });
                                let last2 = Object.values(mons).find(m => m.name === `${founds.name}`)
                                 fs.writeFileSync("./mons.json", JSON.stringify(mons), e => {
                                    
                                     last2.owner = `${firstmember}`; //Setting the owner ID
                                    });
                        ```
 hey so i am trying to change the value of key owner.
however it does not work, nor does it change anything.
```js

{
    "1721138": {
        "ability": "Corrosion",
        "iv": 88,
        "stamina": 96,
        "hp": 338,
        "speed": 50,
        "attack": 16,
        "defense": 28,
        "specialattack": 234,
        "specialdefense": 307,
        "id": 367,
        "name": "Huntail",
        "level": 18,
        "catchChance": 0.8333333333333334,
        "spawnId": 4236884,
        "owner": "345138133429649408",
        "catchTime": "01/18/2021 9:49 PM",
        "nickname": ""
    }```
this is how the object looks like

[lusty quest]

why did you still use json as a "db"

Object.1721138.owner did you tryed this?

[eternal osprey]

i have not

i have looped thrtough the file to find the mons which name is the same as was put in

and named it last1

and later on changing it using last1.owner = ${variable}

@lusty quest

[lusty quest]

yea this will probably not work with the object you provided

[eternal osprey]

why is that?

[lusty quest]

bcs of the id

if you get the object as the one you send earlyer you have to use the path ive provided otherwise you wont find it

[eternal osprey]

owh shit

where is that id above ability then defined?

I am literally confused

var correctID;``` it is the correctid

but that was never passed into the json

might have found the solution

mons.[correctID].owner is what i should call

found.correctID

 let last1 = Object.values(mons).find(m => m.correctID === `${found.correctID}`)
                        fs.writeFileSync("./mons.json", JSON.stringify(mons), e =>{
                            //Handle error
                             last1.owner = `${targetMember.id}`; //Setting the owner ID
                            });
                                let last2 = Object.values(mons).find(m => m.correctID === `${founds.correctID}`)
                                 fs.writeFileSync("./mons.json", JSON.stringify(mons), e => {
                                    
                                     last2.owner = `${firstmember}`; //Setting the owner ID
                                    });``` so it would be like this right? @lusty quest

[eternal osprey]

any help please?

[foggy robin]

I need some help im trying to do simple pages for a help command I use commando but dont like the help command it has

[pure lion]

Can we use opengraphics for our bot page?

[crystal wigeon]

hey umm are setintervals and settimeouts considered event blocks? also do they cause lag?

[earnest phoenix]

what do you mean by event blocks

[earnest phoenix]

do you mean opengraph meta tags?

if you're thinking of opengl... uh no

that's not a web library

there's webgl but that's only accessible via js

[kind crescent]

setinterval and settimeout do not prevent other commands being used (if that is what you are on about)

and the amount of lag they cause is only the same as running the specified function every n seconds

[pure lion]

Yeah

[earnest phoenix]

nope

the meta tags are scraped at top level, meaning the first head element that occurs

(which is going to be top.gg's head element)

[pure lion]

Ah okay

What do you need help with?

[earnest phoenix]

...log inside of the try

if an error happens the flow will stop going through the try block and will jump to the catch block

[fluid basin]

.finally

if your language supports it

[earnest phoenix]

finally will occur regardless whether an error happened or not

[fluid basin]

hm

makes sense

[sacred aurora]

can i use custom dns for get request in node js?

[fluid basin]

uh yes

[warm marsh]

try
{
  // do code
  console.log("fine?");
}
catch(err)
{
  // do something with err
  console.log(err);
}```

[sacred aurora]

how

[sacred aurora]

yeah

[warm marsh]

?

[sacred aurora]

that'll do

[warm marsh]

huh?

[fluid basin]

depends on what you need it for

[sacred aurora]

the webpage im trying to scrape can't be accessed from the server

403 error

[fluid basin]

that means your IP is likely to be flagged and blocked, this has little relation to dns if the webpage is blocking requests from your server

you will either need to use a VPN or a proxy to scrape the site

[earnest phoenix]

^

[sacred aurora]

hmmm

[earnest phoenix]

you need a proxy, not a different DNS

[sacred aurora]

how can i do that

does axios have built in proxy option?

[earnest phoenix]

google it

[fluid basin]

you will need a proxy info

and there is a way to set it in axios

[earnest phoenix]

you're also probably going to have to buy a proxy list, 99.9% of free public proxies are already blocked by most major services

[hoary pumice]

What the difference between
message.reply and message.channel.send?

[modest maple]

message.reply

send

[zenith terrace]

oh message.reply actually replies now

[modest maple]

idk im assuming it does

if it doesnt then gj d.js

[zenith terrace]

oh yea ur python arent you

[modest maple]

well mostly python but yeah

[summer torrent]

just install master

[zenith terrace]

no

[rigid maple]

What am I doing wrong

[summer torrent]

client.getLevel doesn't exist

[rigid maple]

what should I do

[summer torrent]

create...??

[quartz kindle]

did you copy this code from somewhere?

[summer torrent]

^

[quartz kindle]

or did you create getLevel yourself?

getLevel is not part of discord.js

its a user-created thing

[alpine coyote]

How can I snooze Team on

[pale vessel]

Elaborate

[lament rock]

The shit you type in google vs the shit you ask in a dev question channel

The vanity url should always be a string

You need to await the fetchVanityData

const url = await guild.fetchVanityData().then(v => v.code);

[pale vessel]

destructure

[tight plinth]

what's the best module to do http requests in js

[lament rock]

not axios or node-fetch

I was unironically thinking of switching to the built in http lib

[tight plinth]

so what should i use

the built in http lib sounds like pain

[lament rock]

It is. A few people in my dev server seemed to rave over one called centra

I have no personal opinion on what to use

[tight plinth]

hm

i found one called "got"

[lament rock]

got's api sucks

[opal plank]

tim is the one that recommended got iirc

im personally a fan of axios

does most of the jobs for you

parsing, error cacthing/handling, intercepts shit, its everything i need tbh

[lament rock]

axios logs the errors regardless of if you put it in a try catch block or not

I hate that

What it logs is large and unnecessary info

[opal plank]

huh? i never noticed that

i dont think its does that ophidian

[lament rock]

Believe me. It does. I wrote a rest lib and returned errors to the user level but there was no way I could handle them in my application like I did with discord.js.

[opal plank]

its just really not doing it for me

do you have a test snippet?

either fixed in last patch or somethings up

[lament rock]

Not on hand. I'd have to write something

[opal plank]

im gonna be honest, i've never noticed that error logging you're mentioning, though its entirely possible i overlooked it, since i log a lot of errors

i think of my console as my friend, the only instance i dont log stuff is in prod

for that i have custom dumps and handler for it

[lament rock]

My console is flooded with bad http reqs

in prod

[opal plank]

hmmm thats odd tbh

[lament rock]

Mostly just unauthorized

[tiny ruin]

hey guys, I'm using djs and I want to make embed with variable number of fields in embed.
Ex. an array has x strings in it and I want every string in separate embed field

Is it possible?

[cinder patio]

yeah, just loop through the array of strings

[tiny ruin]

how? I know it sounds easy

[opal plank]

for() loop

[cinder patio]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide/Loops_and_iteration

[tiny ruin]

I mean create embed fields

[pale vessel]

yes?

apply the same concept

[tiny ruin]

ik how to loop.. but I want to create embed fields at each iteration

[pale vessel]

const embed = <embed>

for (cond) {
    <add field>
}```?

[cinder patio]

Do you use the MessageEmbed object to create embeds or do you just use raw objects

[opal plank]

remember that theres a limit to how many firleds you can add

which i dont remember back of my head, 25 or something

[earnest phoenix]

[pale vessel]

25 yes

[tiny ruin]

how many emojis discord server can have?

max level 3

[pale vessel]

250

Just

Not sure if it's both animated and static or 250 for both

[tiny ruin]

Should I make embed pagination or display emojis => role map in fields (maybe 25 emojis per field)

[pale vessel]

Pagination imo

Fields can be big

If you don't want reaction pagination you can make the user specify the page

[tiny ruin]

thanks

[slender thistle]

125 per each

@earnest phoenix kullanci is just a user and not Object with many keys

you can join them like kullanci.join(' ,')

[earnest phoenix]

i will try thanks

[crystal wigeon]

so i have setintervals that run every 3 minutes and they dont stop.. would this be a reason for lag high latency pings?

i have 3 such intervals that run every 3 mins and one runs every 3 hours, and 1 2 hours, and few other setTimeouts that run like after 15secs but these are cleared

[kind crescent]

Ive had one command before that ran every 2 seconds. Didnt cause lag for me

I suppose it depends what your intervals are actually doing

[earnest phoenix]

Hello,
I would like to know if in discord.js it is possible when we put an invitation link in the status its automatically ranks us? thank you in advance

[crystal wigeon]

my intervals make DB calls and updates

i dont think it would cause lag since they are async

also is it really not possible to serialize the message and client object that djs gives? ;-;

[earnest phoenix]

don't mix sync/async and serial/parallel execution

they're two different things

[crystal wigeon]

well nodejs nothing really executes parallely

so i thought the DB queries were causing lag which in deed took like 800ms - 1.2secs even more, i optimized those to 200ms or less

but the lag still persisted

so that wasnt the bottleneck

i thoguht maybe there some event loop block in my code

but my for loops are async

[modest maple]

serial/parallel execution
concurrency != parallel

[earnest phoenix]

.. that's false, node supports parallelism

[crystal wigeon]

well i've never used it xd

[modest maple]

JS can use multiple threads, but async is always ran on the same single threaded event loop

[crystal wigeon]

also i could use a second hand to review my code to figure out bottle neck

let me know if anyone can help

[earnest phoenix]

as to why your bot is lagging, the only way to find that out is to debug your code and track performance

[crystal wigeon]

yep i tried most of it

the lag only shows up when 2k people are using it

when i running my test bot

i see literally no lag

which is used by like 5 - 10 people

the same functions in both

[feral aspen]

In the guildMemberAdd event, there is no message, so how can I do this? let role = message.guild.roles.cache.get(server.mainRole);

[crystal wigeon]

client.guild

[earnest phoenix]

get the guild from the member

[crystal wigeon]

or that

xd

[feral aspen]

let role = bot.guilds.roles.cache.get(server.mainRole);?

guilds or guild?

[earnest phoenix]

no

[feral aspen]

Oh.

[crystal wigeon]

member.guild

[feral aspen]

OH.

🤦‍♂️

[crystal wigeon]

when the guild member event occurs you get the member

in the callback

[feral aspen]

member.guild.

[earnest phoenix]

i really need to get a colored role so people stop ignoring me

[feral aspen]

I got you!.

[crystal wigeon]

also this

[earnest phoenix]

(i was kidding :p)

[feral aspen]

let role = member.guild.roles.cache.get(server.mainRole);

[modest maple]

wont change anything

people like to selectively listen to people only if its what they wanna here

[earnest phoenix]

@crystal wigeon it isn't because djs objects are too complex and have recursive properties

map properties you want to your own object

[crystal wigeon]

ye its the recursive that gets me grr. member.guilds.role haiz if i wanted this i have to serialize every single prop lol

just hinking of a way to make it easier

mmm

[tender basin]

Hey folks, got question developing such algorithm that can take Spotify album image colour palette as input and return matching or suitable background colour that can be used, any idea if such thing can be achieved? would appreciate some of your thought process. 🙂

[earnest phoenix]

at the top of my mind, you would just go pixel by pixel and save the most dominant colors

[modest maple]

If you're using python Numpy can be pretty good for this or OpenCV

[tender basin]

colour that will possible be available lets say in this example green yellow and blue is give as input then my algorithm should workout the best possible output from that

okay, I have seen that too

[modest maple]

your easiest solution is calculating the dominant colour

and matching that to x background or just using that dominant colour

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_cut

[feral aspen]

const { Schema, model } = require("mongoose");

const serverSchema = Schema({
    name: String,
    serverID: String,
    prefix: String,
    test: Boolean
});

module.exports = model("Server", serverSchema);

Hey, just quick question regarding MongoDB, I'd like to ask why whenever I add a new line such as test: Boolean, it doesn't update for all the saved ones that are in the database, and whenever the new command features wants to use the test: Boolean, it would simply not find it for the ones that are in the database as it didn't update to all the saved ones! What can I do?

This is also how it registers it..

if(!server) {
            const newServer = new Server({
                name: guild.name,
                serverID: guild.id,
                prefix: process.env.PREFIX
            });
            newServer.save().catch(err => console.log(err));
        } else {
            return;
        };

I can simply just add the test: Boolean alright, but what about all the current saved ones? It doesn't update, what can I do?

[tender basin]

agreed, I think should avoid complicating and thanks for the suggestion. 😊

[opal plank]

overcomplicating is my middle name

[feral aspen]

What can I do though! :(

[tender basin]

this is also good example of simple solution

https://medium.com/@clcrooks/spotify-api-color-sorter-6cb935b9a8fd

[kind crescent]

<Schema>.add({name:type})

[feral aspen]

What do I do with this?

[kind crescent]

Create a new command that runs that.

Or have it run with the ready event

[rugged cobalt]

I'm currently having this issue where I'm trying to delete the obj (as defined in Guild.js) from the guildConfig collection. But when I try it, it just says that there were none found. It only works if I manually add in the _id to the admins object along with copying the actual id from the document. Anyone know how I can work around this https://srcb.in/dO70QonTqz

[feral aspen]

So, this unfortunately didn't work even though I discussed it with the user, so anyone got any other solutions I could deploy to fix this?

[quartz kindle]

just create a server with express or something similar

[modest maple]

just use nodejs' rate http lib

[quartz kindle]

rate?

[edgy tapir]

how to check if a member didn't send any amount after the command in discord.py ? like !clear [amount]

[feral aspen]

If someone knows mongoose, can you help me with this?

[lusty quest]

use updateMany

just modify your model to contain the wanted new value and run a updateMany query to make the change on all existing documents

[crystal wigeon]

hey

also

quick question

so a Promise() without await is considered synchronous? can it cause event blocks?

something like

func() { new Promise(
Promise.all()
) }

something like this

i feel like it would cause blocks?

[earnest phoenix]

promises are always async

removing await will make it non-blocking

[crystal wigeon]

so using await will make it blocking?

[tender basin]

from PIL import Image

def colorPicker():
  example_image = Image.open('image url here')
  image_colour = example_image.getpixel((250, 100))
  print(image_color)

This solved my spotify colour picker from album image, but for pure accuracy can use K-Means Clustering in OpenCV but for simplicity this is does the job for the time being I have tried with various song on spotify so far the accuracy for the colour palette is decent. 😊

[crystal wigeon]

async func () {
return await new Promise(async () => {
return await Promise.all([])
}
}

would this cause event blocks?

[lyric mountain]

To get the average color you could just iterate over all pixels and exclude white and black tho

[lyric mountain]

No

Because the method it's in is async

It'll block only if you await it too

[crystal wigeon]

so awaiting the func would block it?

[modest maple]

i think you're missing the entire point of async/await and promises

[crystal wigeon]

well, im slow xd

just making sure that im not doing it wrong tho

[crystal wigeon]

this func, if i call this func with await thats when it blocks everything right? but if that func is also used in another async func it wont block

if im correct

[modest maple]

🤨 You know the whole point of async and await is to provide a higher level non-blocking api over promises right?

[crystal wigeon]

yeah but the reason im using promise all is to avoid for (...) loop since i want them to run parallely or something

because i wanna avoid nested for loops

[modest maple]

if you call a async function from a synchronous context you're blocking the current thread to allow the event loop to manage the context to give the concurrency aspect

[crystal wigeon]

gotcha, so if i call a async function from async context there's no blocking right

[quartz kindle]

it depends on what the internals are doing

[crystal wigeon]

they just push to an array

outter array ig

[modest maple]

then what is the point of them being asynchronous

[crystal wigeon]

sowwy im slow :p

[quartz kindle]

for example, no matter how much async you use, if deep down the core code is sync, it will block

there are only 2 types of true asynchronous code

streams and event loop skipping

[crystal wigeon]

[modest maple]

Think those words are just gonna confuse them 😔

[quartz kindle]

I/O like file reads, networks requests, TCP, etc... are all done through streams. a request is opened, and the data starts flowing in chunks, so it doesnt block

event loop skipping is a way to manually break down synchronous code by using setImmediate

so you have to look at what the actual code is doing

for example, a database request deep down uses streams, so it is true async

you can confidently use them knowing it wont block

[earnest phoenix]

Co

[quartz kindle]

but numeric calculations, no matter how complex, are not async

unless you explicitly break them down in chunks using setImmediate

actually there are 3 types, timers are also async

but they can be grouped together with setImmediate kinda

[modest maple]

well... Timers are synchronous they can just use the eventloop to schedule their execution at a given time

[quartz kindle]

ye

they are event loop skippers

just like setImmediate

[modest maple]

Go's entire runtime are just loop skippers

[quartz kindle]

xD

[modest maple]

which as much as its useful to not worry about it's execution being blocking or not

it basically nuked it ability to expand it syntax and execution logic

[restive furnace]

Imagine making async code whike you could make synchronous code

[modest maple]

most async things are 90% synchronous

The entirety of my async web server is written with synchronous code

[earnest phoenix]

and then you start using a language where you're free to use threading

threads is where it gets wild

[restive furnace]

threads are nice

[earnest phoenix]

it took me almost a month to actually understand their lifespan in c#

[quartz kindle]

threads are easy in node

[restive furnace]

dataraces is what i like

[quartz kindle]

its just a pain to share data with them

[modest maple]

I just go with async + threads

[earnest phoenix]

race conditions are a pain

and then you fall back to locking, making it sync again

[modest maple]

actors™️

[quartz kindle]

async locking

[restive furnace]

^ has not been implemented even today

[modest maple]

Thats completely untrue but what ever

[restive furnace]

nou

well atleast in C

[modest maple]

again, thats completely un-true

[earnest phoenix]

afaik C languages don't have true async lock

there's semaphores and shit

[restive furnace]

imagine asynchronous C, how fast OSes would be

async + threads

[modest maple]

Do you think OS' are synchronous

[restive furnace]

well some of them are

[modest maple]

👀 That would be one fecking slow OS

[earnest phoenix]

none of them are

there's operations that some OS' do synchronously but all of them work in an asynchronous context

[quartz kindle]

the very essence of multitasking is based on that

otherwise how would OSs multitask on single core 90s cpus

[modest maple]

most modern OS' utilize work stealing to properly balance tasks

[fierce ether]

const getInformation = await client.playerModel.find({ })
        .map((v) => v.id) ``` this should return all ids in the collection?

[cinder patio]

try it

[fierce ether]

i did

[cinder patio]

and?

[fierce ether]

it returns the whole collection

[opal plank]

lol feud

making them answer their own question

[tight plinth]

so I have an object like this:json { "location": { "name": "Blois", "region": "Centre", "country": "France", "lat": 47.58, "lon": 1.33, "tz_id": "Europe/Paris", "localtime_epoch": 1612714370, "localtime": "2021-02-07 17:12" }, "forecast_day": { "temp_c": 35.4 } }and a string provided by the user with placeholders such as [location.name] or [forecast_day.temp_c] in it. Is there an efficient way to replace the placeholders in the string with the values in the object without using 15 string.replace in js?

[opal plank]

you could just regex it (or better yet, properly split with)

actually

let me get a step

1 sec

[cinder patio]

just split by a dot and loop through all props? Why use replace

oh

in the same stirng

string*

[opal plank]

get all entries of the content

then split by .

get first entry of each iteration, on the split, check if your object has that property

Object.hasOwnProperty(regex[0])

if it does, then you assign that property to the second value

regex[1]

regex being one entry of your regexed item, split by .

keep in mind regex is slow af
