development

[opal plank]

but either way, the only difference in latency will be the request itself, you can calculate your bot's ping by simply doing a request to discord itself

i doubt discord's response time to process a request in that endpoint would change much at all in that

[vivid fulcrum]

the same answer as to can you change the time you were born

[lavish bramble]

Hmm I need the time in asia/calcutta

[opal plank]

convert it?

[drifting wedge]

how do i make the text start at the left?

i mean idk how to explain it too well

but baically i want the icon on the left

the text at top right

[lavish bramble]

How can I

[drifting wedge]

and the value in bottom right

[craggy pine]

text-align: left?

[drifting wedge]

doesnt work

[opal plank]

get the timezone of asia/calcutta, get your original timestamp in unix, then just convert it

[craggy pine]

ah

[vivid fulcrum]

flexbox, the answer to everything is flexbox

[opal plank]

or simply add the hours based on the difference in timezones

which might be simplier

[boreal iron]

shhh move on with your magical modern stuff

Witch!

[lavish bramble]

.addField("Created At", guild.createdAt)

[opal plank]

or use something like moment or some other time manipulation package to do the convertsion for you

make a variable, convert it, put the variable there in the adField, thats it

[vivid fulcrum]

all timestamps you get from discord are unix, inheritely that means they're in UTC

aka

+0000

[lavish bramble]

[opal plank]

if you have no idea what i said you need to learn the basics of JS

and how functions work

[vivid fulcrum]

so you can manipulate the date to get it in a specific timezone by just adding/removing hours and minutes

[lavish bramble]

Ok

[opal plank]

arent timezones specifically hour based?

dunno if theres minutes corrections

[vivid fulcrum]

there's also minute corrections but rare

[opal plank]

hmmm thats interesting, was unaware of that

[vivid fulcrum]

iirc there's quarters and halves

[boreal iron]

yeah they exist

[opal plank]

might wanna use a package to deal with that then so you dont have to worry about the specifics @lavish bramble

i fucking hate when you mention someone and the mention goes in the middle of the text

[vivid fulcrum]

i almost failed geography that is the only thing that i remember from that class

[opal plank]

fucking discord, fix yer shit

[vivid fulcrum]

discord
fixing
lol

[earnest phoenix]

isn't the right answer _stack overflow _

[vivid fulcrum]

that's a very good point

[opal plank]

the right answer to everything is learning first

or the right answer, thats also the right answer

[boreal iron]

100% looks like an error caused by the user - yes YOU!

[vivid fulcrum]

the answer is below
the answer is above

[opal plank]

nono, this would be labeled as we dont care, only major bugs need fixing

[earnest phoenix]

this

ihy erwin

[opal plank]

ihy what

[boreal iron]

it's your fault, accept it and everything is fine

[heavy talon]

yarrak

[vivid fulcrum]

that message disappeared with the speed of light

a smart person would conclude that the answer is actually "above" and exit the function :smart:

im going to buy nitro just so i can use that emoji

[boreal iron]

lol

I dunno any more useless way to shred your money

[vivid fulcrum]

nevermind my money is on pp and discord on android forces me to go through google pay

[opal plank]

buying fortnite skins

[boreal iron]

don't force me to ask what fortnite is

[near stratus]

tell that to the 1 mill nitro users

[boreal iron]

no I'm not that old... calm

[boreal iron]

I've got no words for them...

[drifting wedge]

yo gamers

what do you think?

[boreal iron]

that took a while just for that "one" element lol

[drifting wedge]

wdym?

[near stratus]

make the icons a little bit larger

at least the first two

[boreal iron]

well just increase the size on hover only, looks a little more special

[drifting wedge]

i can make it also a big brighter on hover?

[near stratus]

yea

[near stratus]

brighter

[drifting wedge]

.server_stats_items:hover .server_stats_items { is this correct?

shi

1 sec

it works

[boreal iron]

how do we know the elements and their names, lmao

[drifting wedge]

whatever

its fine 1 sec

[boreal iron]

:hover is the attribute u need

nvm... you did already

[drifting wedge]

making it bigger

[boreal iron]

wtf

[drifting wedge]

it affects the entire box

[boreal iron]

.server_stats_items .server_stats_items

[drifting wedge]

like changing the icon sise

size

it was a typo

2nd was suppsoed to be icon

[boreal iron]

why is server_stats_items element being there 2x?

[drifting wedge]

TYPO

[boreal iron]

OK I will forgive you! Don't let it happen again!

[proven lantern]

The first time i call await msg.guild.members.fetch({user: allPlayerIds}); i get a Collection, but the second time this same code returns an array.

i am invoking the same bot command twice

i am using discord.js-light

is this a bug or expected behavior?

[pale vessel]

might be a bug

[drifting wedge]

why does it go under?
i have the z-index of the dropdown set to like 9999999999999999

copy - pasted from #general

[boreal iron]

You have to set a z-index for the menu as well

which is lower

[pale vessel]

you can use "size" in collection ? [...collection.values()] : collection to make sure it's an array

[drifting wedge]

lower = on top?

[boreal iron]

nope

[drifting wedge]

im congused

confused

[boreal iron]

versa

[drifting wedge]

what

my brian

brain

[boreal iron]

higher = on top

[drifting wedge]

yeah

so why isnt the drop down on top?

[boreal iron]

Does your menu actually have a lower z-index assigned?

[proven lantern]

thanks, i'm going to do this, but turn the array back into a collection

[pale vessel]

ah, use data instanceof Collection ? data : new Collection(data.map(member => [member.id, member]));

[proven lantern]

thanks

[boreal iron]

u got it?

[drifting wedge]

kinda

i decided to move it

but this happens

[boreal iron]

z-index is assigned to the wrong element

the childs should not be affected

[drifting wedge]

got it

done

ty tho

[lavish bramble]

			.addField('Member Count', `Total Members :- ${message.guild.memberCount}\nUsers :- ${members.filter(m => !m.user.bot).size}\nBots :- ${members.filter(m => m.user.bot).size}`)

Its showing 1 bot and 1 user

But my guild have 3 bots

[slim heart]

there's a dropdown limit

u just have to turn the other thing down

[ancient gulch]

async findOne(get, table, isQuery, message: Message){
      let a = await this.db.query('SELECT '+ get + ' FROM '+ table + ' WHERE guildId = '+ message.guild.id +' ', async (err, rows) => {
            return rows
      })
        console.log(a)
    }

It's returning the query and not the rows, how can i make it return rows outside the function

[earnest phoenix]

Assign it to a variable as its called with a callback

async fn(...) {
  let a;

  await this.db.query(..., (_, rows) => {
    a = rows;
  });

  return a;
}```

[ancient gulch]

okay ty

[ancient gulch]

It always return undefined

[worn sonnet]

Heya!

[earnest phoenix]

Have you tried logging what the rows returns in the callback?

[worn sonnet]

What's good approach, iterating through a list or making request to the mongodb database everytime a person sends the message

In on_message() function

I use python which is apparently not good with speed

[earnest phoenix]

Depends on how many documents there are, if not too many, lists are good, if there are too many documents however, making a request to the database is the better approach since it can retrieve the document faster than iterating through a list

[ancient gulch]

It's returning

[ RowDataPacket { language: 'fr-FR' } ]

[worn sonnet]

Yeah that's what I thought but then again few said we should optimise the requests to database and use lower bandwidth

And all

Most of the times the request I send to db returns none as it doesn't match the criteria or filter I pass, can this be considered as optimization of bandwidth

[earnest phoenix]

fn(...) {
  return new Promise(async res => {
    await this.db.query(..., (_, rows) => res(rows));
  });
}```

[earnest phoenix]

yea, the optimization of the database requests should be considered but if shouldn't be that big of a problem tbh

[worn sonnet]

Oh oke

Since I just started using a server based db I was kinda worried about requests I make and all thanks for answering

[lament rock]

The smarter thing to do is to batch queries together if possible. The volume of packets at scale can overwhelm a database

batching inserts for example

[worn sonnet]

Went over my head

[worn sonnet]

Oh

I'm simply reading the db

[ancient gulch]

Thanks, it work fine

[worn sonnet]

Or fetching the info

[lament rock]

Oh. Then not much you can do there

[worn sonnet]

At first I thought I'll just get all the info at once in initialization

And loop through it

Which will decrease the requests to db drastically

[lament rock]

how large is the data set and how often do you expect to make requests

[worn sonnet]

Dataset can be varied as over time

[worn sonnet]

I make request everytime someone send message on Discord

[lament rock]

If it's stuff like prefix data or the language of the user, it's safe to just request that data each time

it's also more convenient to not worry about desyncs at scale to request the latest data

considering shards can be on different clusters

[worn sonnet]

Oh oke thanks mate

[lavish bramble]

message.guild.fetchBans()
  .then(banned => {
    let list = banned.map(user => user.tag).join('\n');

    // Make sure if the list is too long to fit in one message, you cut it off appropriately.
    if (list.length >= 1950) list = `${list.slice(0, 1948)}...`;

    const embed = new MessageEmbed()
		.setTitle("Ban List")
		.setColor("RANDOM")
		.setDescription(`Total Bans :- ${banned.size}\nUsers :- ${list}` || "None")
		.setTimestamp()
		message.channel.send(embed)
  })
  .catch(console.error);
		

Its not showing the users tags

[lament rock]

fetchBans returns a Collection<string, { reason?: string; user: User; }>;

need to map(entry => entry.user.tag)

[quaint wasp]

does anyone have a recommendation on the place to host a discord bot at exept Glitch Heroku and github?

[placid iron]

Okay but GitHub hosting?

[quaint wasp]

whats that?

[placid iron]

Idk bro, I was asking you that

[deep mantle]

AWS, Google

[quaint wasp]

😐

[long crow]

raspi do wonder too

[lyric mountain]

Imagine hosting bot on github

[pale vessel]

hey I host mine on GitHub

[lucid prawn]

How can you add commands with a command in 14.4.0?

[sudden geyser]

You want to create subcommands?

For Discord.js 14.4.0?

[lucid prawn]

Yes

[sudden geyser]

Unless you're using a framework with that capability, you'll need to store, parse, and process the subcommand yourself.

Though I'm confused.

Discord.js has no 14.4.0 version

[lucid prawn]

That my node version

[sudden geyser]

Alright, but that's not your Discord.js version.

[lucid prawn]

My discord version is 12.5.1

[soft glade]

i have a question for people that use python

[sudden geyser]

ask away

[soft glade]

is it possible to a discord-rpc on a discord bot (python)

[sudden geyser]

@lucid prawn in that case,

Unless you're using a framework with that capability, you'll need to store, parse, and process the subcommand yourself.

If you'd like to implement it yourself, you'll need to parse the message as <prefix><command> <subcommand> [...arg].

You'll need to see if a subcommand argument was supplied. If there was one supplied, look through your subcommands collection (aka where you store subcommands, such as directly to a command) and see if a match was found. If so, run a function specialized for the subcommand. Else, run the command that was associated with the invalid subcommand (including the subcommand argument since it's just an argument now). But that's up to you to decide how to implement it.

[soft glade]

oh ok

i was only asking bc i have a discord rpc that adds button to my profile and i was wondering if i can do that to a bot

[sudden geyser]

I was answering Mika's question. I don't have experience with RPC myself.

[soft glade]

ohhhh

[clear marlin]

RPC, on a bot?

[soft glade]

yes

[clear marlin]

I don't think that works.

[deep mantle]

i found a discord-rpc on pypibut i dont know about it

[soft glade]

you think you can send me the link?

[deep mantle]

https://pypi.org/project/discord-rpc.py/

[clear marlin]

Bots are just allowed LISTENING, WATCHING, STREAMING .

[lucid prawn]

Thxs

[deep mantle]

whoops its pypi

[lucid prawn]

And Playing

[clear marlin]

those rpcs are for user accounts.

[clear marlin]

that's the default.

[lucid prawn]

Lol

[earnest phoenix]

Mika in here...

Hi Mika

Anyways.... So I hear it's possible to do any coding with a phone. I got my bot online but it goes offline if not used for a long time. Which is concerning so.... The commands for moderation should work as well for the bot without a computer?

[clear marlin]

well, your bot needs to be hosted 🤷‍♂️

there's no other way it'd be online 24/7

[earnest phoenix]

I use the uptimerobot website to keep it online

[earnest phoenix]

So it works without a computer like this yes?

[clear marlin]

I guess it should.

[rocky hearth]

is this ok to do this in react?

speacially at line 136.... update other state in some state

[azure otter]

Hi

[clear marlin]

any errors?

[rocky hearth]

nope, but its behaving weirdly.

randomly both of the state is changing
sometimes A and somtimes B

[clear marlin]

and you want one state to change to the other state

[rocky hearth]

I just want to update the state of isAllSelected to be true, when all the elements of selectedUsers have truthy value

when id is undefined, I'm just toggling the isAllSelected

[clear marlin]

Since your fetching data and then changing a state https://www.pluralsight.com/guides/fetching-data-updating-state-react-class maybe read this, could help.

[rocky hearth]

but im not using class components

[earnest phoenix]

@rocky hearth hello

Sir

[rocky hearth]

what?

[earnest phoenix]

Hello, Im new to bot developing and stuff, I made a bot using Repl.it, But It's impossible to make it online forever, I don't know how to do it. Help please.

[earnest phoenix]

replit too

[rocky hearth]

u need to host the bot to some where

[earnest phoenix]

google how to host a bot repl.it

to start the bot
use this code
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!);
});

client.on('message', msg => {
if (msg.content === 'ping') {
msg.reply('Pong!');
}
});

client.login('your-token');

[cinder patio]

Every returns boolean

not the array

do [...array] or arrwy.slice() to clone it

[rocky hearth]

ik, that's why isAllSelected is a boolean

[cinder patio]

Oh nvm I miaread the function name

[rocky hearth]

or all the users have been selected

[cinder patio]

Looks fine to me, how are you calling it

[rocky hearth]

what I dont understand is, Is it good to update two states at a time?

[cinder patio]

Yeah as long as the first state won't change again if you update the second one

[rocky hearth]

Im just calling the funciton selectUser(false, <id>), if id is undefined, I want to toggle all the users

and is it possible to update a state, and not rerender the component

[cinder patio]

mmm why are you using an array to store the selected users, this may not be the problem, but you should use a Record for thay

[cinder patio]

Nope, if you want that consider using a Ref

which stays persistent over state changes

but doesn't change the state when updated

[rocky hearth]

yes, i also realised that id's can also be strings thats y, i did this.

hv u used immer

[cinder patio]

You need to return a new object in the update functions

Updating the current one will almost always cause bugs

[rocky hearth]

in immer, we can directly mutate the state. And now its works fine

[cinder patio]

return { ...draft} trust me, React relies on immutability

If you were to use a useEffect hook on it it wouldn't work

I've been there

[rocky hearth]

returns are not required, see this doc
https://github.com/immerjs/use-immer#readme

[cinder patio]

That's not a function though...

The first one

Are you using immerjs? I don't know then

Maybe it's doing it under the hood cause in React you have to return a new object

[rocky hearth]

I asked u, at first place 😅

[cinder patio]

I didn't see that oop

[rocky hearth]

lol, np

[cinder patio]

Yeh that's exactly what immer's doing

[trail finch]

ummm I have a request to the reviewers... Um I edit my bot sometimes so while I do it won't work as you know xd and I don't have a particular time when I code, I code it whenever I remember that I should add this or that or edit this or that um nvm....... If you may dm me before testing my bot named yoink I would be grateful

[cinder patio]

You should submit a working version of your bot and develop it with another account

So have 2 bot accounts

one for development and one for the public

[trail finch]

umm honestly I mistake a lot when I do that... I tried it once and the bot had to be deleted :\ ewe

[clear marlin]

a beta bot and a main/public bot

test your features in the beta bot

and push them if you like it

[rocky hearth]

for css, I've a div set to overflow: hidden, but I want one of its child to let be overflowed. How can I achieve that?

the child is actually a dropdown menu

so it dont look like this

[umbral zealot]

Position absolute in a parent of position relative

That should fix it.

[rocky hearth]

function Test() {
  let counter = 0
  const [name, setName] = useState("John")
  const updateCounter = () => {
    counter++
    setName((str) => str + counter)
  }
  return (
    <div className=''>
      <span>{name}</span>
      <span>{counter}</span>
      <button onClick={updateCounter}>click me</button>
    </div>
  )
}

You've said, when the state changes, the component get rerenders
then the counter should get updated as well
Can you tell me, y this doesn't work?

In this case, as the counter increases it gets appended to the name.

[cinder patio]

counter is bound to the state, once the state changes, counter gets reset to 0

Use Refs for that kinda stuff

[rocky hearth]

Ooh... I got it. Silly me

[jade stirrup]

asking for a friend can anyone help

[earnest phoenix]

Hello

We applied for verification

For bot

And it says suspicious growth

But it is own growth no fake servers

And one of staff said

You want to make it 280 servers

If any one add it in fake servers

Will it verify

[glossy burrow]

Anyone know a bot that can give a role to people who have something in there custom status? Like if someone puts my discord server url in they status they get a role automatically but once its taken out the role is gone

[jade stirrup]

not that i know of

[rocky hearth]

there is an event on client called presenceUpdate, u might want to look at it

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Client?scrollTo=e-presenceUpdate

[glossy burrow]

Oh im looking for a bot thats already created

[clear marlin]

This is not discord.

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

Sir

[cinder stratus]

@earnest phoenix join discord developers server and ask here

[earnest phoenix]

Do have link or any idea

[cinder stratus]

https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[regal creek]

imagine getting older

[earnest phoenix]

dose any one know how to make my bot when it is mentioned reply with its prefix

[cinder stratus]

@earnest phoenix use regular expression

[earnest phoenix]

?

[cinder stratus]

Regex

[quartz kindle]

if you're using discord.js just use message.mentions

[earnest phoenix]

ohhh

[vagrant grove]

sad

[sudden knoll]

Tim, do you use galaxygate?

[earnest phoenix]

do i put in my index.js#

[quartz kindle]

yes

[sudden knoll]

I assume you prefer it over DO and AWS etc then?

[quartz kindle]

i never tried them

but they are more expensive, so...

[earnest phoenix]

its spamming

how do i fix

[sudden knoll]

Lol, that’s what I was thinking as well

[quartz kindle]

show code

[sudden knoll]

Is it recursively calling?

[tawdry oracle]

how can i have 1 cases in one switch but with 2 strings?

[quartz kindle]

LOL

what the fuck is that code

[earnest phoenix]

its bad but it kinda works

[sudden knoll]

It’s recursively calling

[quartz kindle]

it doesnt work lol, thats why its spamming

[earnest phoenix]

dammm

[sudden knoll]

Why are you using on message tho

[earnest phoenix]

ok im not the best

[quartz kindle]

message.mentions.bot doesnt exist

and youre sending a message in both if cases, so it will always send

[tawdry oracle]

 switch (aww) {
                case "no" || "maybe":

}
```why does this dont work

how can i do it like that?

[quartz kindle]

case "no": case "maybe":

[cinder stratus]

switch(aww) {
case 'no':
case 'maybe':
//some code
}

[tawdry oracle]

tnaks

[cinder stratus]

np

[lusty quest]

the bot answers to itself, this is why it spams

[earnest phoenix]

oohh

[eternal osprey]

hey

how do i save the data i receive from the request.get and assign it to a variable? (the response.body)

var request = require('request');
var options = {
  'method': 'GET',
  'url': 'URLGOESHERE',
  'headers': {
    'Authorization': 'AUTHGOESHERE'
  }
};
request(options, function (error, response) {
  if (error) throw new Error(error);
  console.log(response.body);
});```

[vivid fulcrum]

dude

seriously

use node-fetch

you got told 3 times request is deprecated

4 times now

[eternal osprey]

OKAY let me get node-fetch

wait then

[worn sonnet]

hi

[vivid fulcrum]

node-fetch has proper async support

[worn sonnet]

i'm trying to connect heroku to mongoDB atlas

[eternal osprey]

the thing is, i don't know how to authorize using node-fetch

[worn sonnet]

but i couldn't find the ip to whitelist

[vivid fulcrum]

just... add the header? the readme has examples on how to use headers

[eternal osprey]

okay

but this would still give me an issue on how i can assign the variable

[worn sonnet]

i searched and they say whitelist 0.0.0/0

which is kinda wrong since anyone can connect to it

[lusty quest]

ask the support of your host.

[vivid fulcrum]

no it wouldn't because node-fetch uses promises

at that point it's just async/await or then pattern

you could've used that with request too, like tim and i told you

but drop request, it's deprecated and full of vulnerabilities

[eternal osprey]

i literally did that

[vivid fulcrum]

ok

you have a tendency to lie in this chat so i dont believe a single thing you say lol

[rancid copper]

Hello

[cinder stratus]

Hello

[rancid copper]

@livid jackal is that u outside my window

[rapid wharf]

In discord.py
em.add_field(name=f'Boosters [{len(guild.premium_subscribers)}]', value=str(guild.premium_subscribers))
this is giving response as <Member id=500305380014948362 name='Asuka' discriminator='7580' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=787709538160869406 name='Asuka Bae' shard_id=None chunked=True member_count=1387>>]
I tried for half an horn using loops n all, but cat fighure out how to solve this

[earnest phoenix]

Well, you're stringifying a list, what do you expect?

[pale vessel]

For the list to somehow join properly, like how magic stuff happen in Python

[earnest phoenix]

how to use Vps ?

[vivid fulcrum]

that's like asking how to use a car

[earnest phoenix]

[vivid fulcrum]

you need to provide more detail on what you specifically want to do and what os your vps is running

[near stratus]

Like you use a pc

[thick nexus]

uh how do you check for like 2 permissions like has permissions _____ or has permissions ______

[blazing sentinel]

which library do you use?

[thick nexus]

python?

is that library

[blazing sentinel]

np

if you use d.py

then

if message.author.guild_permissions.administrator or message.author.guild_permissions.manage_guild:
do_sth()

or you can change the permissions

[thick nexus]

o

ok

[long horizon]

how some bots like koya make a welcome pic with the user name and profile pic and upload it as a welcome message?

[sudden geyser]

The bot will "draw" the image (like with a canvas builder) then send it as a file.

"draw" is in quotations since there are many ways to create an image.

[mystic harness]

how to make this? with discord.js?

[sudden geyser]

If you want to make clickable links, you want to use Markdown syntax.

[text to display](url goes here)

For example, [Google](https://google.com/)

It'll only work in embeds, but if you're using Webhooks, it'll work in plain text too.

[mystic harness]

kk ty

[cinder stratus]

they use canvas

[mystic harness]

can someone help me make change prefix command?

for prefix i use ${this.client.prefix} to show prefix

[tired panther]

you need a database

[mystic harness]

db?

aha

i have it

i think

wait

[cosmic forum]

Anyone know a good npm package that can encode and decode strings of text?

[mystic harness]

i have database.json

[cinder patio]

encode to what?

[cosmic forum]

For passwords and emails

[rocky hearth]

jwt i guess?

[slender thistle]

inb4 str([1,2,3]) == "1, 2, 3"

[cinder patio]

I use bcrypt

[frigid mountain]

Help

[raw jacinth]

With what?

[frigid mountain]

This

[mystic harness]

i have some problem, every gw i did with bot it save in database,json and my memori getting full
how to fix that?

[umbral zealot]

Don't use JSON as a database.

[mystic harness]

what to do then?

i am not a some big developer

so

[umbral zealot]

An actual database

[mystic harness]

i use free hosting

i dont pay yet

[umbral zealot]

Doesn't matter. You can use sqlite or mongo or postgres or whatever. Just don't use JSON, it is NOT a database.

[tired panther]

mongodb atlas is a good choice

free 500mb data space

[umbral zealot]

If they can use JSON they can use sqlite though and that's the easiest one.

[mystic harness]

but i have everything setup yet just i dont know why every giveaway i made save in database

can i make something like when gw finish to gw from databe delete

something like that

[umbral zealot]

You setup something that's bad. And now it broke. So now you get to fix your mistake.

[mystic harness]

or can i make like every 5 days database auto clean?

or something like that?

[umbral zealot]

You are using a method that will break in many ways.

We will not help you load another shell in the shotgun you have aimed at your foot at the moment. You need to actually stop using JSON right now, it will only keep bringing you pain.

[frigid mountain]

No help

[mystic harness]

then what to do, i only know for that

[umbral zealot]

Get the better-sqlite3 module, and use https://www.sqlitetutorial.net/ to learn sqlite

If you think that's too hard because you're too lazy to actually learn things right, then go use one of the followign:

• nedb
• quick.db
• enmap
• @joshdb/core

[mystic harness]

you mean this?

[umbral zealot]

Why would you call that json.sqlite. why...

[mystic harness]

idk dont ask

[umbral zealot]

call it "giveaways.sqlite" or something

so it's actually descriptive

[marble juniper]

json.sqlite.txt.data.pdf.csv

[vivid fulcrum]

.txt

[marble juniper]

lol

[mystic harness]

now just to ask everywhere where is database.json i need to change that in giveaway.sqlite?

[vivid fulcrum]

i just leave my local db files nameless, just the extension is there

[umbral zealot]

you can't just rename the file

jesus christ

[mystic harness]

in code

[cinder stratus]

Lol

[marble juniper]

code.js.ts.c.cs.py.java

[umbral zealot]

No you need to rewrite the code too

[slender thistle]

json.sqlite.txt.ini.env.pdf.csv.docx.xslx

[umbral zealot]

so that it actually uses a database module

[mystic harness]

i mean to change this

[umbral zealot]

yeah you can't just do that

again

you need to actually write code to properly access the database

[cinder stratus]

I don't think that package has inbuilt sqlite support

[umbral zealot]

I don't... what? A package???

[marble juniper]

use an orm like sequelize lol

[cinder stratus]

discord-giveaways

If I'm not mistaken

[marble juniper]

use postgres

or ded

or booli

[umbral zealot]

[cinder stratus]

I use MongoDB

[marble juniper]

im just kidding

[marble juniper]

bean

jk

I use mongodb myself

[cinder stratus]

Quickdb > enmap > mongodb

My journey with dbs

[frigid mountain]

I keep getting error

[umbral zealot]

enmap is bae

[cinder stratus]

Mind checking your confug.json

[umbral zealot]

You clearly have a syntax error in your config.json , so fix that

[marble juniper]

says the person who made it

[cinder stratus]

😂

[umbral zealot]

Obviously my opinion is highly biased.

[frigid mountain]

How my config.json is this

{
	"prefix": "+",
	"token"my_token",
}

[umbral zealot]

but hey millions of downloads agree with me

[sudden geyser]

enmap bad

[cinder stratus]

,

[earnest phoenix]

,

[umbral zealot]

no trailing comma at the end

JSON is very strict, you can't add that last comma there

[cinder stratus]

Remove the comma after my token

[frigid mountain]

Oh

[sudden geyser]

and the missing colon

[cinder stratus]

Yeah

[sudden geyser]

and the syntax in general

Though starting from the outside and slowly entering the inside is more efficient than starting from the inside: http://mariechatfield.com/tutorials/explanations/json.html

[kindred sinew]

    raise HTTPException(r, data)
discord.errors.HTTPException: 429 Too Many Requests (error code: 0): You are being blocked from accessing our API temporarily due to exceeding our rate limits frequently. Please read our docs at https://discord.com/developers/docs/topics/rate-limits to prevent this moving forward.```
I'm getting this error when attempting to run the bot ![DogmaShrug](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/789182922883858472.webp?size=128 "DogmaShrug")

[sudden geyser]

You sent too many requests to Discord and got temporarily blocked.

Though I don't know how you did it.

[kindred sinew]

The bot is in only 13 servers... how on earth could it be reaching a limit

[cinder stratus]

Yeah happens to me time to time

[slender thistle]

How do you get to 429 with logins

[cinder stratus]

You have two options either change the ip address or wait until it is removed

Like assign a new ip

[slender thistle]

IP address won't change anything

[cinder stratus]

Or wait

[sudden geyser]

I don't know how you'd be able to hit the 10,000 rate limit. Maybe it's something internal.

IP addresses that make too many invalid HTTP requests are automatically and temporarily restricted from accessing the Discord API. Currently, this limit is 10,000 per 10 minutes. An invalid request is one that results in 401, 403, or 429 statuses.

[slender thistle]

The ban is per-token

[cinder stratus]

It does

[sudden geyser]

It's probably per-token.

Relying on IPs is not reliable.

[slender thistle]

I highly doubt Discord relies on IP addresses

[cinder stratus]

The last time I got 429 on my Bot from discord was 3 days ago

I just assigned a new ip to the project from gcp

And restart

Bot online

[tired panther]

Was there any breaking changes on mongoose v.5.10 to v.5.12?

[sudden geyser]

If they're following semantic versioning, no.

[slender thistle]

Imagine following semver

[sudden geyser]

semver sucks but we need it

[tired panther]

whats 'semantic versioning'?

[slender thistle]

http://semver.org

[sudden geyser]

It's a way of versioning releases based on how it affects source code.

[kindred sinew]

It is currently on a replit.com. Would that be causing it?

[sudden geyser]

Maybe.

[slender thistle]

Tbf I don't mind following it. I just have an issue really understanding when I should increment minor or micro

[sudden geyser]

See this

[slender thistle]

Oh, interesting

[tired panther]

thats officially form replit?

[kindred sinew]

Yeah, so Discord must go off IP for that then?

[sudden geyser]

Probably

[slender thistle]

Curious why they decided to go with IPs instead of tokens

[cinder stratus]

I got rate limits because I don't have any cooldown in my Bot and people literally spam the commands like crazy

[kindred sinew]

That's from the discord.py Discord Server when you run ?tag repl

[tired panther]

lol, but Replit is whitelisted from Discord, they just give token ban, no ip bans

[kindred sinew]

Same. Literally no cooldowns

[cinder stratus]

Lol

[slender thistle]

d.py handles ratelimits internally

[kindred sinew]

The bot just joined a new guild, and then i hit the ratelimt. Any way to do guild reverse lookups?

[slender thistle]

How even

[cinder stratus]

Djs ratelimit handling might be good but when my Bot stars spamming to the gateway it is more than 1k in few seconds like super fast even harder to debug

[tired panther]

thats the ban case

[sudden geyser]

Major = anything that may break a person relying on the code (e.g. changing a public function name and not adding a replacement).
Minor = A new feature (e.g. new public function) that won't break others' code.
Patch = A bug fix that doesn't break others' code.

What I don't like about semver is that a lot of changes can be major, and I also don't like how it makes it easy to climb up the major number (e.g. 24.3.2). Maybe if it were like edition.major.minor.patch where edition is a "big" release for the library.

[vivid fulcrum]

djs doesn't have good ratelimit handling at all

instead of queuing your request, half the time it errors out

[frigid mountain]

What does it mean?

[sudden geyser]

You provided invalid intents.

[cinder stratus]

You need to specify intents which exist

[frigid mountain]

How do I do that?

[sudden geyser]

@frigid mountain see https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/intents.html#gateway-intents

[slender thistle]

imo minor could be used for both breaking changes and new features, while major is for really significant changes (like, say, complete rewrite of one system, if not the package entirely)

[sudden geyser]

yeah but semver doesn't like that

[slender thistle]

🎵 Let's break the rules~ 🎵

[cinder stratus]

But you agree or not djs is switching NodeJS versions like crazy

[cinder stratus]

Nope

[vocal trellis]

anybody knows goed node js hosting ( i want to host dashboard and bot )

[slender thistle]

Though at least in my case I don't do very weird shit to climb up to v10

... yet?

[cinder stratus]

Eris works good in NodeJS 10

But now djs needs v14 in newer updates

[vivid fulcrum]

there's like no reason to not use the newest node version anyway

[kindred sinew]

Anyway I should change this? or a better way to do it?

My bot is joining guilds at times and it's not always updating prefixes.json, which breaks the bot for them essentially, no prefix, no commands.

[vivid fulcrum]

stop using json as your db

[slender thistle]

Oh dear

[cinder stratus]

Yeah

Use something like sqlite

Easy peasy

[kindred sinew]

So the json is simply breaking it?

[cinder stratus]

Json is not a db

[sudden geyser]

It's probably not, but there are better alternatives.

e.g. SQLite with SQL.

[cinder stratus]

Apache Cassandra 😂

[vocal trellis]

Hello, my dashboard api doesnt want to work: https://tickety.top/ is the dashboard and https://tickety.top/api the api but it gives an ubuntu gateway error! on the direct ip the api works

[vivid fulcrum]

it might be the underlying cause, you're probably overwriting the existing data because files don't support concurrent or parallel operations at kalypso

[kindred sinew]

Alright, thanks I'll look into switching over to sqlite

[sudden geyser]

My bot is joining guilds at times and it's not always updating prefixes.json, which breaks the bot for them essentially, no prefix, no commands.
If there's no entry in your "database", you should implicitly default to a prefix (e.g. .).

[tired panther]

your privacy link does not work

[vocal trellis]

privacy ?

[tired panther]

do not repost lol

[sudden geyser]

I recommend you only add an entry if the user sets one rather than setting one for the users.

[marble juniper]

ah yes

copy paste

[vocal trellis]

bro who cares about privacy

😂

[tired panther]

As a bot owner its a compulsory to have one, else your bot can be unverified

[vocal trellis]

no credentials are stored

[kindred sinew]

So it would check if a prefix has been set and if not, then use the default?

[vocal trellis]

no because if i had a no dashboard it will be the same

[sudden geyser]

You're required to have a privacy policy (even if you don't store data), but that's not your question.

[vocal trellis]

indeed

[tired panther]

thats a reason enough, you are saving messages

[vocal trellis]

sure i will make one when my fk api works

[sudden geyser]

Yes.

[vocal trellis]

can you help me

finding out whats wrong

Also can you help me creating a privacy

What do i need to supply

In it

[tired panther]

you just told your api is not working, no error stack, no code, no information

how can we help?

[vocal trellis]

becuase i dont have any information

now errors

[tired panther]

we do not have magic balls

[vocal trellis]

no consoel errors

it is a question like

you can fix it by enabling this in your ubuntu settings

[sudden geyser]

I don't have enough experience building a web server, but the meaning of the error is as so:

The HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 502 Bad Gateway server error response code indicates that the server, while acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from the upstream server. (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/502)

I noticed if I visit /api and get 502 then quickly switch to any other URL, I get the same error page. A few seconds after, it returns an average 404 on any other page (go back to /api and get 502).

[kindred sinew]

Alright, so what would that look like exactly?

def get_prefix(client, message):
    with open('prefixes.json', 'r') as f:
        prefixes = json.load(f)
    return prefixes[str(message.guild.id)]

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=get_prefix)

This is what I currently have.

[sudden geyser]

Instead of prefixes[...], use prefixes.get(...) and default to . if not found (.get(...) returns None).

But of course, as others have said, you should use a proper database for this purpose.

I'm only answering this question to tell you about defaulting rather than populating.

[kindred sinew]

Correct, this is just a temporary patch while I learn more about db

def get_prefix(client, message):
    with open('prefixes.json', 'r') as f:
        prefixes = json.load(f)
    return prefixes.get(str(message.guild.id), ".")

client = commands.Bot(command_prefix=get_prefix)

That look right?

[sudden geyser]

looks correct. try it out and see

[ancient gulch]

Okay so, i want to make a count system with an array, i mean i want something like

[1] - 1
[3] - 2
[5] - 3
[10] - 4
[20] - 5

so, 1, 3,5 for the first three digit, then it add 10 to the rest, but didn't how to do that

let count = 0;
for(var i of array) {
  count += 10
  console.log(`[${count}] - ${i}`)
}

[10] - 1
[20] - 2
[30] - 3
[40] - 4
[50] - 5

[kindred sinew]

Well... I am still ratelimited.

How long does the rate limit usually last? For a 429 Too Many Requests?

[sudden geyser]

You could use a loop and check the index of the number. If the number is 2 or lower (1 - 3), you multiply the index by itself and add one. If it's after that number, you minus by the appropriate starting number and go forward.

Another way of doing this (which I recommend) is to explicitly log 1, 3, and 5, then to create a loop for the rest.

[sudden geyser]

My answer was not to solve your rate limit. It was to solved a part of your data problem.

[tired panther]

do client.on('debug')

[sudden geyser]

They got temporarily blocked

I think it lasts for an hour or a day

[kindred sinew]

Correct, this was a separate question. So between an hour - 24hrs, alright... I will find out soon™️

[earnest phoenix]

why does fetch invites require 2fa

[umbral zealot]

Probs because it's considered a moderation action with data that should be private as much as possible

[sudden geyser]

I wrote a little demo to go along with my explanation (which is a bit different from before).

for (let i = 1; i < 6; i++) {
    if (i < 4) {
        console.log(i + i - 1);
    } else {
        console.log((i - 3) * 10);
    }
}

[rapid wharf]

In discord.py i made this command to show all the boosters of the server

async def boosters(ctx):
    guild = ctx.guild
    em = discord.Embed(title='Lovely people who have Boosted this server...', color=0xFF3933)
    em.add_field(name=f'Boosters [{len(guild.premium_subscribers)}]', value=guild.premium_subscribers)
    await ctx.send(embed=em)``` but it responds as ```<Member id=500305380014948362 name='Asuka' discriminator='7580' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=787709538160869406 name='Asuka Bae' shard_id=None chunked=True member_count=1387>>]``` and i want it as ``` Asuka#7580``` 
i tried many things, but cant figure it out, what to do

[vivid fulcrum]

use list comprehensions and pass the member to str()

[slender thistle]

That's a fucking list

use str.join

[rapid wharf]

ohh let me try

[rapid wharf]

it does not work still the same 😩

Boosters [2]
[<Member id=493267802883358731 name='Kashyap Patel' discriminator='3304' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=787709538160869406 name='Asuka Bae' shard_id=None chunked=True member_count=1385>>, <Member id=500305380014948362 name='Asuka' discriminator='7580' bot=False nick=None guild=<Guild id=787709538160869406 name='Asuka Bae' shard_id=None chunked=True member_count=1385>>]```

    await ctx.send(embed=em)```

code

[slender thistle]

Do you understand what str.join does

[rapid wharf]

i mean i m not a pro in code

so if u can

[slender thistle]

It's basic list stuff

[vivid fulcrum]

so if u can spoonfeed me pwetty pwease 🥺 👉 👈

[cinder stratus]

😂

[slender thistle]

str.join is a method of a string, and what it does is join passed element's with the string on which the method is used

[rapid wharf]

😂😂😂

[slender thistle]

Example: ' '.join([str(e) for e in [1, 2, 3]])

Do you understand what this does

[cinder stratus]

I see it just adds element to a string

Passed elements can be of any type right?

[slender thistle]

My dumb ass keeps forgetting it must be a string

[cinder stratus]

Oh!

I don't even know python

[slender thistle]

There we go

[cinder stratus]

I'll remember it might be helpful if I learn it someday

[slender thistle]

the provided iterable must be of type Iterable[str], meaning it's full of strings

[cinder stratus]

Strictly typed languages

[slender thistle]

Not really

Python lists elements can be of any type

[cinder stratus]

Hmm

[slender thistle]

>>> class MyClass:
...     ...
...
>>> [1, 'really', MyClass, MyClass()]
[1, 'really', <class '__main__.MyClass'>, <__main__.MyClass object at 0x000001C2B80C0F70>]

[cinder stratus]

But I'll probably learn kotlin rather than choosing python

[slender thistle]

That's fine

[cinder patio]

learn it all bb

[cinder stratus]

Because I have to rewrite my Bot someday in kotlin

[cinder patio]

you have to?

[cinder stratus]

Yep

[spare badger]

Hey guys. I'm using discord.js and I'm seeing that the guild owner is null. How is that possible? Every guild has an owner right? In the documentation is also says its nullable but I don't get why.

Am I missing some kind of permission or something?

[cinder stratus]

If it's null just fetch it

[cinder patio]

<Guild>.owner is not guaranteed to be cached

[cinder stratus]

Guild#ownerID

Is there

[spare badger]

How do I fetch it

[cinder patio]

Guild#ownerID is the id of the owner

[cinder stratus]

await <Guild>.members.fetch(id)

[cinder patio]

or users ^

[tired panther]

Why do you have to know, who the owner of the server is

[rapid wharf]

@slender thistle well i did this value=' '.join[str(e) for e in [guild.premium_subscribers]]) its showing invalid syntax, then i tried value=''.join[str(guild.premium_subscribers)]) and its showing TypeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object is not subscriptable

[woeful pike]

join is a function

you call it like ''.join(...) not ''.join[...]

[rapid wharf]

ohh

[rocky hearth]

does djs supports slash commands yet?

[tired panther]

the master branch does

npm install discordjs/discord.js

[rocky hearth]

does, npm install discord.js wont work?

[tired panther]

nope thats the stable, public branch

[tired panther]

and there are breaking changes, just to warn you..

[rocky hearth]

so it'll be in stable at v13, right?

[sudden geyser]

When it's released, probably

If you want to use it early, I you can experiment on the master/main branch.

[static matrix]

I bought a new VPS but im having this issue.

[rocky hearth]

I once read the on the site, that they'll also support clickable buttons on embeds, anytime soon

[solemn latch]

when you moved your files over to the vps, did you copy the node_modules folder?
you shouldn't do that as it can cause issues.

[static matrix]

@solemn latch No i didnt.

I did npm i after moving

[vivid fulcrum]

what's your node version

[static matrix]

v.8.10

[vivid fulcrum]

why are you using such an ancient version

use the latest

the error is probably coming from djs which uses optional catch binding

[static matrix]

Yes I just realized

OMG

i got this above my bot

it was a bot ordered by someone and it sends dms to users whenever they join a server

it also has a point system which lets them add a certain number of users to their servers using oauth guilds.join

does anyone know what this means

[slender thistle]

Sync database wrapper moment

[vale garden]

but it only sends 1 per user

that wouldnt be considered spam would it

mee6 does the same thing

[umbral zealot]

it would be if there's 10,000 users.

and many other bots

[vale garden]

there arent that many

its a custom message for each server

one sec ill have to check my db

yeah that'll get your ass banned in a second

congrats.

[vale garden]

wot

why

[umbral zealot]

Because it's literally advertising

[vale garden]

hmm

but ive seen those kinda msgs on mee6 too

why is it allowed for them tho

its yagdb or whatever

not mee6

lol

[umbral zealot]

I don't know

if you want more details, or if you want to argue the decision, you know what to do.

[vale garden]

well i thought this wasnt the reason thats why i asked here lol

anyways thnx

[wheat mesa]

Pretty sure it’s against ToS to send advertisement DMs like that

[vale garden]

loads of bots do it th

o

damn

mine has the same command which mee6 has

that is to set a custom welcome msg

does anyone here have the link to the discord devs server

[umbral zealot]

They won't be able to help you

It tells you in the message how to contact them.

[vale garden]

kk

[wheat mesa]

mee6 can send welcome message DMs, but I don’t think it’s intended for the purpose of advertisement

[vale garden]

well mine is the same thing

[wheat mesa]

I wouldn’t risk anything

I haven’t seen any bots DM advertise links by default, unless it’s a custom message set by the server admins

[uneven lily]

Hi, a few days ago my bot started using shards, the problem now I have a lot of problems with counting for users or servers, is there a way to merge all members / servers of a shard into one count?

To see the servers count I use

$ {client.guilds.cache.size}

Below I leave 2 photos of the server count from 2 different shards

[rocky hearth]

in react I want to store <a></a> or <button></button> based on a condition in variable, so that later I could render it. How do I achieve that?

similiar to as='div' prop in some packages

[umbral zealot]

It's much easier to just have a condition showing either/or with { if } blocks

https://reactjs.org/docs/conditional-rendering.html#inline-if-with-logical--operator

[rocky hearth]

but it'll get bulkier, If I later choose to add div or span too

[umbral zealot]

That's how you write React components, better get used to it 😄

You can also do dynamic classes instead, on divs or spans, in certain cases

there's no universal rule here and you shouldn't try to find one

semantic > dynamic

[rocky hearth]

I just want have a as prop on the component, which will accept any string element, which I want to render with

[umbral zealot]

So make a component that does that and returns the appropriate thing then

[rocky hearth]

like this

[umbral zealot]

yes

that's a prop

that returns conditionally, probably

This is not a thing that's common

[rocky hearth]

react has a function called React.createElement(), will it help?
it accepts a string, to render with

[deft tangle]

Please Explain Me How To Write Embeds

[umbral zealot]

You can do that. But you should avoid it unless it's absolutely necessary

For example if you want a <link> or <button> depending on a condition it's much better to use an inline condition

[rocky hearth]

that is not a embed. That's a block message.

[wheat mesa]

^^^

[umbral zealot]

if it's between like 2-3 different elements, write conditions instead of dynamic things

[deft tangle]

Alright

[rocky hearth]

ok. thanks

[rocky hearth]

u can write block message, by encapsulating ur message with 3 backticks on each side

[deft tangle]

This[✓✓✓]?

[rocky hearth]

backtick is present on ur keyboard left to the key 1

[umbral zealot]

```

[deft tangle]

Ok Ok

[wheat mesa]

That’s 1

What’s the problem

[boreal iron]

Yes and you got a code block. What's the issue with it?

[deft tangle]

Code Block?

See The Difference Between Both The Messages Bro

[wheat mesa]

That means you used 1 or 2 backticks

Yes It's Not Difficult To Do Too

[wheat mesa]

Yeah, not sure why your discord is displaying it differently

[boreal iron]

If so what's your issue?

[feral aspen]

How to loop through all the roles in a server?

[lost heath]

the nicb is the best one

[rocky hearth]

u do hv block

[deft tangle]

Maybe There's A Issue In My Settings

[wheat mesa]

I see it as I’m supposed to

[boreal iron]

You can ESCAPE the brackets ```

[deft tangle]

My Developer Mod Is On

[feral aspen]

?

[rocky hearth]

that should be not an issue.

[deft tangle]

DV Mode Has Any Connection With These Blocks?

[boreal iron]

...roles.cache ?

[wheat mesa]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58780548/discord-js-any-way-to-get-all-roles

Try looking it up, usually discord js questions are pretty common to find answers to

[feral aspen]

Thanks!

[deft tangle]

Btw Thanks For Teaching Me

[rocky hearth]

<Guild>.roles.cache

[deft tangle]

I'll Try To Fix The Problem

[feral aspen]

Returns the IDs, I want the names..

[rocky hearth]

no it does, return all the roles of type Collection

u must be iterating over keys

[feral aspen]

I'm caching all the roles, but trying to return a collection not IDs but names.

Just like Dyno.

[boreal iron]

I wrote the ` intentionally to let you understand what to do. It's not an issue Discord isn't displaying a code block.
`No code block`

[nova prawn]

API v9 includes supports for threads, an upcoming feature. Older API versions will not receive any Gateway Events for threads, so it is important to update soon!

What does this mean? How can i update my bot to the new API?

[boreal iron]

an upcoming feature

Since you're probably don't the feature, yes you can.

[umbral zealot]

Is this for the Discord API?

[feral aspen]

No, I did try this. message.guild.roles.forEach(role => console.log(role.name, role.id)), didn't work.

[boreal iron]

CACHE

[wheat mesa]

Cache

[boreal iron]

lmao

[feral aspen]

Returns IDs..

I want the names.

[rocky hearth]

message.guild.roles.cache.forEach(role => console.log(role.name, role.id))
now it'll work

[wheat mesa]

^^

[rocky hearth]

what djs version u using?

[feral aspen]

undefined

[feral aspen]

V12

Wait.

forEach is not in v12.

[rocky hearth]

it should be

[boreal iron]

foreach is no djs exclusive method

It's js

[wheat mesa]

Yeah

[feral aspen]

What can I use instead, map?

message.guild.roles.cache.map(role => console.log(role.name, role.id))

[boreal iron]

guild.roles.cache will return a collection.

You can also convert it into an array.

guild.roles.cache.array()

[feral aspen]

Uh.

[boreal iron]

get the length guild.roles.cache.size and loop to it

[rocky hearth]

so it doesn't have forEach u can use each instead

[feral aspen]

Returns the IDs

[boreal iron]

Well if they aren't cached then fetch them.

[rocky hearth]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/collection/master/class/Collection?scrollTo=each @feral aspen

[feral aspen]

I did this.

message.guild.roles.cache.each(role => role.name)

[wheat mesa]

And did it work

[boreal iron]

Yeah, that's correct

[feral aspen]

Collection(9) [Map] {
  '737011108954505267' => [Role],
  '751138549432189030' => [Role],
  '751676936283226124' => [Role],
  '776710533130223626' => [Role],
  '776710562821570560' => [Role],
  '782644949698871298' => [Role],
  '806548255013994546' => [Role],
  '807824111840657472' => [Role],
  '815657508600545311' => [Role]
}

[rocky hearth]

if you want to convert it to an array, use map instead

each gives u a Collection back

[boreal iron]

That's why I mentioned to create an array message.guild.roles.cache.array() and loop through it.

[umbral zealot]

You usually don't need to convert a collection to an array

[boreal iron]

Maybe 1 line more code

[umbral zealot]

you can easily loop through collections

collecation.forEach works fine

[boreal iron]

Depends on how you need it

[umbral zealot]

also collection.map

[boreal iron]

But yeah

Oh it's you... lol didn't know your nickname

[rocky hearth]

Oh, forEach is a Maps method. That's y they didnt documented it

so it does exist, but it returns nothing

[boreal iron]

as well as an array method

[vagrant prairie]

i have a simple question

one which i get confused at

alot

totalcost > balance``` or ```js
totalcost < balance```

[deep mantle]

#2

[vagrant prairie]

thx

[boreal iron]

How is the Discord chat 2 minutes BEFORE my local system time...

[vagrant prairie]

i get confused mmyes

[deep mantle]

You might want to do greater than or equal to Incase they have exactly the cost

[wheat mesa]

That’s a relatively simple thing, if your total cost is greater than your balance, then you cannot purchase whatever it is you’re buying

[wheat mesa]

^^^

[old cliff]

is there any npm package to parse a function into a string?

[vagrant prairie]

=< ?

[wheat mesa]

<=

[boreal iron]

toString()

[vagrant prairie]

i was close

;-;

ima go relearn js

scyas

[boreal iron]

A JS function... no lib needed

function test(a, b) {
  return a + b;
}

console.log(test.toString());

[wheat mesa]

Isn’t toString() automatically called when placed in console.log

[rocky hearth]

OR

console.log(`Funtion: ${test}`)

[wheat mesa]

Ah, so only with interpolation

[rocky hearth]

it only gets auto called, when u try to concatenate with a string.

[wheat mesa]

Got it

[rocky hearth]

same true for any object. (functions are objects too)

also, u can override the toString() method, to customize it a little bit

[cinder patio]

I'm pretty sure console.log calls toString automatically

[rocky hearth]

ooh yes

[lyric mountain]

The one at the broad side of the arrow is the one that has to be the bigger value

This technically is more logic than math

[vagrant prairie]

but

Iirc it only appears in domain definitions in math

[vagrant prairie]

stiill maths

[cinder patio]

Wait... so you don't know what > and < are in math?

[vivid fulcrum]

my mom taught me that the one that's smaller is where the pointy part is at

since i was a child

[cinder patio]

idk I feel like I've always known this

[ocean jolt]

[solemn latch]

its taught in kindergarden.

[vivid fulcrum]

never went to kindergarten gang

[ocean jolt]

Lol

[lyric mountain]

Came with pre-installed softwares I see

[vivid fulcrum]

it was full when i was supposed to go so my mom just said fuck it you're not going

and taught me everything in like two months

so i came to first grade fully literate

[lyric mountain]

Damn you missed so much fart jokes

[lusty quest]

ive died atleast almost once during my time in Kindergarten
