lyric mountain
then do whatever u want inside the else
vivid fulcrum
even cleaner approach
wooden shoal
Here's what I meant, I have a schema that stores my boolean, I just wanna know how to correctly store the code and wether it was claimed.
clear marlin
for example, you have 10 coins stored, you add another random value to the 10 coins
vivid fulcrum
if(condition) {
...
return;
}
//the code got to this point if the condition didn't pass
you avoid going down an indentation level
which produces cleaner code
wooden shoal
first of all change this to```js
if (data.Claimed) {
...
} else {
...
}
```
I already know this, both ways work, so i'm fine.
solemn latch
👀 whats with the obsession with cleaning up the code.
lyric mountain
I already know this, both ways work, so i'm fine.
better choose the cleaner version, trust me
also, that's twice as much boolean comparations as necessary
clear marlin
Your storing a numeric value into a boolean

const mongo = require("mongoose")
const Schema = new mongo.Schema({

hes/shes working on the code generation
lyric mountain
but he wants to increase whoever uses the code's balance by 1-10 coins

you cant do everything at once
he needs to get code generation working first to do that

well
const data = <mongoClient>.findOne({

if(!data){ /* do something */}

still not helping, hes working on GENERATION

If you look at my code I already have this. I don't need this.

If you look at my code I already have this. I don't need this.
well I don't understand what's wrong then, it seems completely fine
wooden shoal
the code generation
I'm asking, how do I CHECK if that code is claimed and store it into my database.
lyric mountain
I'm asking, how do I CHECK if that code is claimed and store it into my database...
clear marlin
you see if its true or false
lyric mountain
inside else, set the Claimed prop to true and store in the database
then get the user's data, increase amount of coins and save to database
wooden shoal
I don't think you guys understand. It's not checking anything, because I don't know how to store it in the database.
lyric mountain
so you don't want to CHECK, you want to know how to STORE it in first place
wooden shoal
I know how to store the guild and code, I just don't know how to store if it's claimed or not.
clear marlin
you do
await data.save()
👀 isnt that what ive been saying.
wooden shoal
you do
```js
await data.save()
```
I know all of that
lyric mountain
👀 isnt that what ive been saying.
you were saying about the code generation
clear marlin
confusing
lyric mountain
I know all of that
reword your question plz
solemn latch
hes looking for find one and update

reword your question plz
I wanna know how to store wether the code is claimed or not.

that's what

supposed to be done

data.Guild = message.guild.id

I don't know what to store in claimed

data.save
true
store true in claimed
lyric mountain
My error says missing semicolon for
```diff
message.delete()
```
what lang?
clear marlin
since it is variable type boolean
wooden shoal
since it is variable type `boolean`
wouldn't it be false at first, and then if it's claimed I have to set it to true
clear marlin
wouldn't it be ``false`` at first, and then if it's claimed I have to set it to ...
yeah it would be false at first
ok, now I understand
wooden shoal
yeah it would be `false` at first
I'm asking, in what event do I run this code to store this?
clear marlin
what you are tryna do
clear marlin
I'm asking, in what event do I run this code to store this?
you store true, check it and then after checks make it false again
wooden shoal
Ok let's say someone does >Claim {Code}
How do I let the database know that the code was claimed?
That's all i'm asking
clear marlin
Ok let's say someone does >Claim {Code}
How do I let the database know that th...
store it in a different array of claimed codes

I wouldnt make it an array personally. I would have a different document for each claim code, giving you greater control over each one.

do you mean like you want to resolve a promise inside the loop?
solemn leaf
When the loop is finished I want to log that
solemn latch
can just put it under the for loop, unless you do something async inside each loop(afaik)
lyric mountain
yeah, iteration will be stuck inside the for loop until it finishes or you break it
anything after the loop will only be ran after it finishes
solemn leaf
async function addRow() {
try {
if (!sheet.title == date) return sheet = await doc.addSheet({ title: date, headerValues: Headers }).then(async () => addRow());

}, { timeout: true });
}
await sheet.addRow();
console.log("Done");
} catch (e) {console.log(e); }
}
if your looking to do promises, look into promise.all.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Promise/all
it will not resolve until all your promises resolve.
may be a bit easier to understand/do
solemn leaf
I just did promises
that is what the image was
and it wasnt in order
async function addRow() {

await sheet.addRow();
console.log("Done");
});
} catch (e) { console.log(e); }
}
oh, i see.
are you using a library which has access to inserting multiple rows at once?
google sheets api(what i presume you are using) allows the insertion of many rows at once.
since its just one call, it all happens in order.
solemn latch
👀 okay, then youll need to make your own promise queue.
solemn leaf
and why doesnt mapping it work
solemn latch
you are mapping promises, so the actual promises may resolve out of order, even if they all happened in order
thats just the nature of promises
solemn leaf
you cant lol
solemn latch
for loops also have this issue iirc.

since you have to wait for each api request to complete, your just waiting for awhile.
solemn latch

pale vessel
Why don't you just use addRows()
solemn latch
thats what i suggested awhile ago 
pale vessel
It's google-spreadsheet
solemn leaf
I would still need the loop
pale vessel
For?
solemn leaf
and it would still be out of order
pale vessel
It won't
solemn leaf
to loop through all the sites and add the messages
solemn latch
the out of order is because of promises, not because of the methods used.
pale vessel
Construct the array with the for loop (since you want it to be async) and pass the array to the addRows() method
One API call
solemn leaf
give me a second to find where the hell it is listed in the docs
solemn latch
const moreRows = await sheet.addRows([
{ name: 'Sergey Brin', email: 'sergey@google.com' },
{ name: 'Eric Schmidt', email: 'eric@google.com' },
]);
the example is that simple.
you just pass it as the array of objects
pale vessel
give me a second to find where the hell it is listed in the docs
Literally under the addRow() method

yeah the docs are shit on the github you cant find anything

Its null
solemn leaf

The use of util.promisify looks correct, but the context in the expression is ambiguous. We don't know what ping, ping.sys.probe, Hosts[i], etc. is

Npmjs.com/package/ping
There's an asynchronous alternative built into the package.
var ping = require('ping');
var hosts = ['192.168.1.1', 'google.com', 'yahoo.com'];
for(let host of hosts){
let res = await ping.promise.probe(host);
console.log(res);
}
Your current answer is incorrect because util.promisify acts on the callback as if it's the last parameter of the function, but probe uses the second argument (preceding options) instead.

How do I make a topgg stats command?
sudden geyser
Depends on what you want to do with the stats
If you want to display details on a bot, you'll need an API key (generating for each bot) and hit the API to receive bot details.
See https://docs.top.gg/api/@reference/ for more information.
sudden geyser
The solution is built right into the library—asynchronously process the probe by returning a promise instead of passing a callback.
You don't need util.promisify
solemn leaf
Sum it up i dont understand
quartz kindle
lol
sudden geyser
TL;DR - Learn to read the documentation.
solemn leaf
That doesnt return if the site is up actually
quartz kindle
wat

sudden geyser
res should be a boolean.
You're the one using the library. You should be the one to try it out.
Our answer was about using the library asynchronously—not if the ping actually worked.

I figured it out. @vivid fulcrum
eternal osprey
what is the opposite of array.push?
vivid fulcrum
pop
eternal osprey
but that removes everything except the last element
vivid fulcrum
no it doesn't

vivid fulcrum
otherwise it wouldn't be called pop

Development
eternal osprey
``const plants = ['broccoli', 'cauliflower', 'cabbage', 'kale', 'tomato'];
console.log(plants.pop());
// expected output: "tomato"``
vivid fulcrum
yes
because pop returns the popped element
read further than the first two lines
vivid fulcrum
but if you're looking to remove a specific element and you're unsure of its position
you can use findIndex and then throw whatever findIndex returned into splice
findIndex can return -1 if the element isn't found though, keep an eye out for that if you're going to use it

hm ye, i just saw something related to this on stack and said to add a , without the space
:\
rocky hearth
class Square {
isEmpty = true
piece: Piece | null
constructor() {
this.piece = null
}
}
const square = new Square()
if (!square.isEmpty) {
const piece = square.piece
// Here, piece is of type Piece | null
// How do I make sure that it always return a Piece when the square is not empty
} else {
// Here square.piece must always be null
}
winter thorn
vivid fulcrum
```ts
class Square {
isEmpty = true
piece: Piece | null
constructor() {
...
why not just omit isEmpty entirely
and just check if the piece is null
if it's null it means it's empty
rocky hearth
yeah, but I want it to be a little bit easier to read and understand
vivid fulcrum
if you really wanna be verbose and go with the isEmpty route, make isEmpty return a boolean based on the value of the piece
rocky hearth
I could make it a getter, but still the same problem
vivid fulcrum
it wouldn't be
because isEmpty is directly coming from the comparison on the piece
rocky hearth
vivid fulcrum
yeah
you're now sure that it's going to have a value
the compiler isn't smart enough to understand that
rocky hearth
square.piece is still a nullable value in the if block. which I dont want
vivid fulcrum
why not just omit isEmpty entirely
which is why i suggested this
vivid fulcrum
`square.piece` is still a nullable value in the if block. which I dont want
why
you're overcomplicating
you can let typescript know it has a value by using !
but again just omit isEmpty if you want clean code
rocky hearth
if the square is not empty, than there must a Piece not still Piece | null, in the if block
vivid fulcrum
i understand lol
the intellisense isn't smart enough to understand that piece has a value inside of that block because you're using isEmpty
however
if you omit isEmpty and just check the piece directly
type problems will get fixed
then intellisense will understand that it has a value inside of the if block
rocky hearth
but there is a way, which some react library do.
Like if we add prop to an JSX.Element it may or may not require other props as well, depending on the initial prop we provided.
the required props, changes dynamically
rocky hearth
So how can I use that, here
vivid fulcrum
different thing than what you're trying to do
^
i don't understand why you're being so stubborn about not checking piece directly
it's a cleaner and a more "proper" way
alternatively use the assertion operator
this produces ugly code though
but it's exactly for your use case
rocky hearth
Does C++, C# also has this problem?
vivid fulcrum
they don't
sudden geyser
Unless you plan on adding more rules for what counts as "empty" for your square class, you should be directly checking if piece is null as cry has said.
You're making your program more complicated for trivial benefits.
vivid fulcrum
c langs are typed at their core, null isn't its own type, it's a value
you'll just get an exception if trying to access something on a null object
rocky hearth
I want to know, if dart can solve this problem.
Have u used dart, to compile down to js?
sudden geyser
Dart has implicit and forced nullable casting.
Forced is the same idea as the ! assertion.
Implicit is being able to do something like: ```dart
int? maybeFive = 5;
if (maybeFive is! null) {
// ... => maybeFive is int; not int?
}
Though you probably don't need Dart.
Just use the solution cry suggested
or force cast it
rocky hearth
hmmm, ok thanks

robust harness
So I wanted to make a command so they can check if they have voted and i dont this but says topgg.hasVoted isnt a function what would i use otherwise
code for it below:
module.exports = {
name: "test",
description: "test command for top.gg vote checker",
async execute(client, message){
let voted = await topgg.hasVoted(message.author.id);
if(!voted) {
return message.channel.send(`You havent voted yet!`)
} else {
return message.channel.send(`Voted`)
}
}
}```I believe the hasVoted function is under the Api class in the top-level export.
And since it's a class, you need to initialize it before you can use it.

Well go to Edit bot in the bot page

const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook('The_auth_Token')
app.post('/vote', webhook.listener(vote => {
console.log(vote);

app.listen(3000)
(Definitely not spoonfeeding)
Then click on the Test webhook from the bot page

sudden geyser
I have seen 250 server limit in places on top.gg. Is it actually 2500?
There's no "limit", but there are times where you may be restricted.
Bots must be verified to grow past 100 servers. When a bot reaches 2500 servers, they must begin sharding (else Discord won't allow them to function)
wispy glen
Bot limit in Discord
A bot can be present in a maximum of 2,500 guilds per WebSocket connection. In order to allow a bot to be present in more guilds, the bot must implement sharding and open several separate WebSocket connections to Discord.
tacit kiln
for someone that has gone through the process before: should i be trying to verify my bot now before i hit 100 servers?
olive roost

You can verify your bot once it reaches 75 servers.
Which takes a few days I think.
earnest phoenix
they changed it?
sudden geyser
Did they?
tacit kiln
o
olive roost
its 76
tacit kiln
So you can verify your bot when u get to 76 servers, You have to verify before 100 or 250, then to pass 2500 u need to do another update for sharding?
are there any other restrictions a new bot owner should know about? I would like to share my bot beyond 3000 servers, ofc thats the dream if its well liked
sudden geyser
The second update is to make your bot conform to the requirements of sharding. It doesn't require a verification process.
I don't think there are any other restrictions you should be wary of.

var then = "02/09/2013 14:20:30";
const timeDifference = moment(now,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss").diff(moment(then,"DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm:ss"));
if (timeDifference <= 60000) {
// Display in seconds since it is less then one minute
} else if (timeDifference <= 60000 * 60) {
// Display in minutes since it is less then one hour
} else if (timeDifference <= 60000 * 60 * 24) {
// Display in hours since it is less then one day
} else {
// Display in days since it is more then one day

Are you removing all elements from the array to get some deallocation behavior?

Yea I see the StackOverflow page you find these solutions at. I would just make it a var or a let and empty the thing by creating another instance.
I don't see why you would want to make it a constant if you are changing things inside the thing.

Making the array const and using methods to mutate the array is not a bad habit
It's just not as useful as const could really be to mean immutability.
