development

[earnest phoenix]

thats where the problem is

[coral sigil]

It is not the problem

but i think you should use the bot's id for the checking

[earnest phoenix]

if the command started with prefix or not

[boreal iron]

Why do you over complicate things…

#development message

[earnest phoenix]

is that not what i did here

[coral sigil]

so you should check the messge.content.startsWith for '<@${your_bot's_id}>' then it'll always work no matter the username

Yea like fake said

[boreal iron]

Which will also work, yes

But the client user tag will always work, too as the bot is in the guild in the moment receiving the event

[coral sigil]

true

client,user,tag is easier somehow i think

[boreal iron]

Doesn’t actually matter what you use

[coral sigil]

can you get the id too easily? is it client.id

[boreal iron]

client.user.id works as well

[coral sigil]

okay

[earnest phoenix]

I always get confused between the mentions like @compact flume and @compact flume

[boreal iron]

Gimme a sec to clarify it

[earnest phoenix]

take your time

[boreal iron]

<#development message>

There you go

Errr wtf

New try

https://discord.com/developers/docs/reference#message-formatting

That’s it

[coral sigil]

if (!message.content.startsWith(`<@!${client.user.id}>`) || !message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return

[coral sigil]

That link is very useful 👍

[boreal iron]

It is indeed

Can’t remember that shit, too

[coral sigil]

Yep

And the timestamp formatting is right under it, perfect

[earnest phoenix]

I tried this but the mention thing still isn't working

I tried both

with ! and without it

[coral sigil]

I''ll test it too

sorry my mistake

if you check if they are not true you should use &&

like this if (!message.content.startsWith(`<@!${client.user.id}>`) && !message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return

Now it will return if those both are false

[earnest phoenix]

shouldn't we use the or operator

[boreal iron]

No

[coral sigil]

Yea if you check if they are true

[earnest phoenix]

oh alright

[boreal iron]

Not or not is logical nonsense

[coral sigil]

I like to do it like that so the code wont be full of recursive ifs :D

[earnest phoenix]

WAIT

BOTH OF THEM STOPPED WORKING

[coral sigil]

:D

On my end it works

[earnest phoenix]

isn't && the AND operator

[coral sigil]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

I still don't get this

[coral sigil]

so if those both are false, return

if the message doesnt start with mention AND it doesnt start with prefix, return

[earnest phoenix]

OH WAIT

RIGHT

I GET ITT NOW

[coral sigil]

Nice!

[boreal iron]

Think in boolean lol

[coral sigil]

think in binary ;)

[boreal iron]

if( FALSE and FALSE ) error

false or false will always error

If both conditions aren’t false

In your case both prefixes can’t be used at the same thing

[earnest phoenix]

still the same thing

mention doesnt work prefix works

[coral sigil]

what do you have

[earnest phoenix]

client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
    if(!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return;
    if(message.cleanContent.startsWith(`<@${CLIENT_ID}>`) && message.cleanContent.startsWith(PREFIX)) return;
    const args=message.cleanContent.slice(PREFIX.length).trim().split(/ +/);
    const command=args.shift().toLowerCase();
    if(!client.commands.has(command)) return "CommandNotFoundError";
    try {
        client.commands.get(command).execute(client, message, args)
    } catch (error) {
        message.reply(`There was an error executing that command.`)
    }
});

[pale vessel]

It's <@!

Check for both <@ and <@!

[coral sigil]

yep

[pale vessel]

<@! is used when a member has a nick

[earnest phoenix]

alright

[boreal iron]

Dude

[coral sigil]

and you can remove if(!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return;

[boreal iron]

Your prefix check on top

[earnest phoenix]

wait i forgot abt that one

okay removed that

still the same

[coral sigil]

u have the <@! ?

you dont have the ! at the front

...

[boreal iron]

Where did u define the client_id?

And why?

[coral sigil]

please copy this line to your code```if (!message.content.startsWith(<@!${client.user.id}>) && !message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return````

[earnest phoenix]

its the bots user id

[earnest phoenix]

alright

[boreal iron]

I know what is but why did you define a var?

[coral sigil]

you get the id from client.user.id you dont need to do your own CLIENT_ID

[earnest phoenix]

oh wait

right oh god i forgot

[coral sigil]

but that line works

[earnest phoenix]

still the same

client.on("messageCreate", (message) => {
    if (!message.content.startsWith(`<@!${client.user.id}>`) && !message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)) return
    const args=message.cleanContent.slice(PREFIX.length).trim().split(/ +/);
    const command=args.shift().toLowerCase();
    if(!client.commands.has(command)) return "CommandNotFoundError";
    try {
        client.commands.get(command).execute(client, message, args)
    } catch (error) {
        message.reply(`There was an error executing that command.`)
    }
});

here s the code

[azure lark]

dose anyone know how i can store data inside an array with mongo db?

[coral sigil]

Hmm, it works on my end..

[boreal iron]

Keep that in mind

#development message

Check for both

[earnest phoenix]

okay okay

doing that rn

[boreal iron]

As one format is for members with and other without nicknames

[coral sigil]

oh

I didn't know that

[boreal iron]

Yeah was mentioned in the docs I sent

User or User (nickname)

[coral sigil]

Oh sry

[boreal iron]

Yee don’t worry

[coral sigil]

But the code will now think the bot's username is the command, the parsing has to be changed

Or the parsing has to be different when the bot is mentioned I mean

[boreal iron]

The mention will show its nickname instead of the application name

If one is set

[earnest phoenix]

still not working

[azure lark]

dose anyone know how i can store data inside an array with mongo db?

[boreal iron]

https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/bson-types/

[boreal iron]

Try to use the client.user.tag instead of the ID

[coral sigil]

What do you mean it is not working?

[boreal iron]

Even if that’s nonsense but try it

[earnest phoenix]

thats what i did

still not working

[boreal iron]

Just show code once more, please

[coral sigil]

well this is working on my end: ```
if (
!message.content.startsWith(<@!${client.user.id}>) &&
!message.content.startsWith(<@${client.user.id}>) &&
!message.content.startsWith(PREFIX)
)
return;

But that has to be changed later...

[earnest phoenix]

if (!message.content.startsWith(`${client.user.tag}`) && !message.content.startsWith(PREFIX) && !message.content.startsWith(`<@${client.user.id}>`)) return```

my if statement

[coral sigil]

it is wrong

[boreal iron]

You’re missing the message format

[coral sigil]

the first should read: !message.content.startsWith(`<@!${client.user.id}>`)

[boreal iron]

At least if that didn’t work we now know his bot has a nickname

[coral sigil]

It will work

[boreal iron]

That’s the reason the original check with user only didn’t work

[coral sigil]

True

[boreal iron]

The one he wrote

[earnest phoenix]

im dying

i tried printing in the console what .cleanContent prints and it only prints User Name and tried checking for it but it still doesnt work

[boreal iron]

I don’t see any use case for that property other than logging stuff

Or cross posts without mentions

[earnest phoenix]

i dont know what you mean

[signal estuary]

How can I make subcommands for a slash command?

const data = [
        {
            name: 'tag',
            description: 'create a tag',
            options: [{
                
            }

            ]
        }
]
await client.guilds.cache.get(guildId)?.commands.set(data)

I want to have tag create, tag edit, tag remove, etc

[boreal iron]

    options:
    [
        {
            name: "subcmd1",
            description: "Sub command 1 description",
            type: "SUB_COMMAND",
            options:
            [
                {
                    name: "channel",
                    description: "Select a channel for example.",
                    type: "CHANNEL"
                }
            ]
        },
        ...
     ]

Where sub command options are parameters (if you need them).

thank you

[high crown]

I'm trying to use animated emojis in my bot but it is not working

setDescription

Anyone

[brittle oyster]

is it a animated emoji

[high crown]

It is working when I write simple text but it is not working with this code

[high crown]

Yea

[brittle oyster]

hmm

[spark flint]

Its not an embed erro

its an emoji error

[high crown]

See this...it is working with Waao only idk why?@brittle oyster

[high crown]

Can I do anything to fix it?

😐

[spark flint]

is the bot in the server with that emoji?

[high crown]

Yes

[spark flint]

hmm

[high crown]

The emoji is form that server itself

[brittle oyster]

are u sure you have the correct id

[spark flint]

try pasting that emoji code

the <a:ID>

[high crown]

Wait

<​a:hay_fire1:901817890355965973>

here it is

[spark flint]

paste that in the server

not here

<​a:hay_fire1:901817890355965973>

[high crown]

ok

[spark flint]

try typing \:emoji:

but replace emoji with the emoji name

[high crown]

Ok

Aaaaah

I've tried doing it

[spark flint]

not a valid emoji then

[high crown]

In the above embed it is there

[opaque acorn]

What library do you recommend for greater speed in my music bot?

[high crown]

Waao text

[spark flint]

wdym

what language first

[lament stump]

you need to actually get the emoji afaik

[opaque acorn]

js

[spark flint]

lavalink

[opaque acorn]

ok

thx

[high crown]

It is there

[hybrid cargo]

Phantom you cannot get Ids using the method mentioned above on mobile

You need to be on PC

And the ID you are using is probably the message ID

[high crown]

I am on pc also.... side by side

[lament stump]

You can also get the emoji from the client's cache with the id

[high crown]

Ohhhh

So how to get the emoji I'd?

[hybrid cargo]

Then type \:hay_fire1: and send it in the channel. It will automatically be sent as the ID in the channel, after that copy paste that ID

[cerulean anchor]

does discord bot maker host your bots for free?

[hybrid cargo]

!bonk

[spark flint]

no

[hybrid cargo]

[spark flint]

[cerulean anchor]

so you host it?

[spark flint]

yeah

[hybrid cargo]

@high crown the process should look like this

[spark flint]

you have to host it yourself

[high crown]

Oh

Thanks a lot

U really recorded a video for me ❤️

[hybrid cargo]

You can also just copy and paste the same string in the chat box to get animated emojis if u dont have nitro

[high crown]

Oh

Thanks

/:bolbcatban:

oop

:bolbcatban:

it is not coming for me

[cerulean anchor]

Also, is dbm discontinued?

[high crown]

:blobcatban:

see

it comes for a second only

and then goes

[spark flint]

@earnest phoenix

[coral sigil]

You have to do the other slash \

[high crown]

Wait

\:emojiName: was not working for me so after cussing my fate I did this....will it work?

yes it worked

thanks a lot guys

[coral sigil]

Nice job!

[boreal iron]

aka. back slash

[livid lichen]

Please help! Someone is spamming my bot with an error and I have no idea where it is coming from. https://ch1ll.needs.rest/kv5dar1cm0a.png

Does anyone know how I could find the error using process?

[earnest phoenix]

send the full error and fix the bug then

[old latch]

looks like your message is too long

since it says something about "2000 or fewer"

[earnest phoenix]

If I have if elif and else then if I want to add another like cooldown cmd then how can I add 4th

[old latch]

err what

[earnest phoenix]

Hm wdym

[old latch]

can you send like a code snippet?

[earnest phoenix]

Hm

[old latch]

I don't understand your question

[earnest phoenix]

I have shut down my pc

Ok wait lemme tell

[old latch]

so you want to expand your if else chain?

[earnest phoenix]

Ya

[old latch]

you're using python right?

[earnest phoenix]

Like I have already used if elif and else

[earnest phoenix]

Yes

[old latch]

you can put as many "elif"s as you want

they just have to be before the else

[earnest phoenix]

Oo

[old latch]

this is very basic python tho

[earnest phoenix]

Ok

Ty @old latch

Forgot 😂

[old latch]

you should probably first have a solid understanding of python

[earnest phoenix]

Ok ty

[old latch]

:D

[earnest phoenix]

yeah but they don't even show us how to use it

[boreal iron]

You gonna use the CommandInteractionOptionResolver

Looping through the options, for example

[earnest phoenix]

I'm glad I use detritus

[boreal iron]

for(const option of interaction.options.data)
{
  if(option.name === "create")

good boy

[boreal iron]

Shhh Erwins

[earnest phoenix]

Djs interactions look way more complex and hard

[wheat mesa]

cus djs is shit

detritus just handles all this garbage for you

[boreal iron]

Not really...

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/CommandInteractionOptionResolver

[earnest phoenix]

and if you really wanna go pure discord api it ain't that hard too

Wrong reply

[earnest phoenix]

I meant

[boreal iron]

Actually not, but also yes

If you understood how it’s built and how to access it it’s easy not to say logical

[cinder patio]

Are we hating on languages we don't know

[boreal iron]

But it’s somehow less user friendly

[quartz kindle]

all libs suck

raw api best

[boreal iron]

Yes yes, snakes suck

[cinder patio]

imagine if everyone had to write their own rest API wrapper

there would be a dozen bots around

[quartz kindle]

a dozen very efficient and well written bots

[boreal iron]

Would automatically sort out most of the shit

[quartz kindle]

instead of thousands of shit bots

[boreal iron]

Aye

[earnest phoenix]

He's not being rude, he's speaking the truth

[boreal iron]

no more Indian bot scammers

[earnest phoenix]

i can't help but agree with that

[earnest phoenix]

For example mine lol

[earnest phoenix]

Mine is very efficient
It never fails to reply with h

[modest maple]

just becuase they've hacked together the api doesnt mean its well written

Hi

Is there anyone that can help me with my unban comand

[reef stump]

@rare mist

hi dud

Can Review My Bot 😁

[boreal iron]

As they told you a few times already, be patient.

Saw you asking many times already, dude

[earnest phoenix]

There is a server always kicking my bot without getting it back

And code is true but all things showing undefined

[boreal iron]

In your event check if the guild is available.

That's a property in djs13

if(!guild.available) return;

[earnest phoenix]

Hmmm

And my bot started to slow restart after this server showed up

It's happening again

[boreal iron]

As I said might be an unavailable server for whatever reason.

[coral sigil]

I can help. How could I help you?

[next crown]

I have like code done but there is a error I can't fix

[coral sigil]

What's the error?

[next crown]

Couldn't resolve the user ID to unban

[coral sigil]

Okay, could you then show the code?

[next crown]

Ofc

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

module.exports = {
    name: 'unban',
    description: "Ovo je _ping komanda.",
    async execute(message, args) {

        if(!message.member.hasPermission("BAN_MEMBERS")) return message.channel.send('You can\'t use that!')
        if(!message.guild.me.hasPermission("BAN_MEMBERS")) return message.channel.send('I don\'t have the permissions.')

        const member = message.mentions.members.first();

        let memberTarget = 
        message.mentions.members.first() ||
        message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);

        if(!args[0]) return message.channel.send('Please specify a user');
       
        let reason = args.slice(1).join(" ");

        if(!reason) reason = 'Unspecified';

        message.guild.members.unban(memberTarget)

        message.channel.send("uspelo");


    }
} 

[coral sigil]

How do you execute that command? What is the first argument?

[boreal iron]

Well the member isn't cached anymore if you ban it off the server after a bot restart.

[next crown]

I am using discord.js version 12.5.0

[boreal iron]

You have to fetch the user object as he's not a member anymore.

[next crown]

Command should work like =unban members id

[coral sigil]

So you paste the user id to the command and dont mention it?

[next crown]

Yes

[coral sigil]

If so, fakes answer works

[boreal iron]

Only if it's a mention, not if it's just an ID

[coral sigil]

Yep

I think it should be an id

[next crown]

U can't metion banned person

[boreal iron]

message.mentions.members.first() OR message.guild.members.cache.get(args[0]);

[next crown]

I have both of that

[boreal iron]

You can always mention an user ID

Even if it's not part of a server.

[next crown]

U can't I tryed

[boreal iron]

BUT instead, as I already said, you need to fetch the user, not getting it from the cache

[next crown]

U can just paste id

[coral sigil]

Where do you fetch it? message.guild.members.fetch()?

[coral sigil]

Is it there anymore if the user is banned

[boreal iron]

It's only cached until the app restarts

[next crown]

Where do I fetch it and how?

[coral sigil]

Yea where do you fetch it, I dont think it resolves if you do message.guild.members.fetch()

[boreal iron]

client.users.fetch(args[0], false, true)

yeah...

typos are always present

[coral sigil]

np

[boreal iron]

Keep in mind that's a promise

[next crown]

And where do I put this?

[coral sigil]

You put it where you need to get the user

you need to await it or do .then

Could it work like this

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

module.exports = {
    name: 'unban',
    description: "Ovo je _ping komanda.",
    async execute(message, args) {

        if(!message.member.hasPermission("BAN_MEMBERS")) 
          return message.channel.send('You can\'t use that!')
        if(!message.guild.me.hasPermission("BAN_MEMBERS")) 
          return message.channel.send('I don\'t have the permissions.')

        const member = message.mentions.members.first();

        if(!args[0]) return message.channel.send('Please specify a user');

        let memberTarget = 
          message.mentions.members.first() ||
          await client.users.fetch(args[0]);

        let reason = args.slice(1).join(" ");

        if(!reason) reason = 'Unspecified';

        message.guild.members.unban(memberTarget)

        message.channel.send("uspelo");
    }
} 

But you need to get the client to this event

So you need to change the event handler you have

To pass through the client

Would it be easier to remove the user from the guild's bans

you only need the user id to do that

not the whole user

[boreal iron]

        ...

        if(!args[0]) return message.channel.send('Please specify a user');

        const memberTarget = await (message.mentions.members.length) ? message.mentions.members.first() : client.users.fetch(args[0], false, true);

        if(!memberTarget) return // error couldn't fetch user

        message.guild.members.unban(memberTarget);

[coral sigil]

fake what do you think

do guild.bans.remove(userId)

[boreal iron]

Hmm it's up to you.

[coral sigil]

Wouldn't it be easier

[boreal iron]

Using guild.bans.remove() seems to be easier, yeah

As the promise returns an error if the entered user resolvable is invalid or not banned.

[coral sigil]

Yea just what I was about to say

[boreal iron]

Don't need to fetch the user using that method.

[wheat mesa]

Has anyone had issues with using the discord-rpc package on npm? I can get my RPC to work perfectly fine when I run it on my own computer, but when I try to run it on my VPS, I get ```

Oh...

Anyone know any solutions to this?

Nevermind

Turns out that's just not a capability of discord's rpc

[coral sigil]

Nice job figuring it out though

[wheat mesa]

Took some research, I'll just have to take a different approach to this

[boreal iron]

lol somehow experienced this shit myself, too

The interaction I received through the event did expire before I could defer it

[coral sigil]

How is that even possible :D

[boreal iron]

The script has no logged delay

Must be a Discord issue then

[coral sigil]

okay

[boreal iron]

Almost happened 2 times close to each other

[split hazel]

must be a cache issue

[boreal iron]

Hmm couldn’t figure it out so fast

Would need to debug a few more examples

Does top.gg accept bots that onlt use slash commands

[coral sigil]

Yes

[earnest phoenix]

Do i just put / in the prefix

[coral sigil]

Yep

[earnest phoenix]

Oh okay

[earnest phoenix]

Do you want to see it?

[coral sigil]

Why not

[earnest phoenix]

Yay

[digital lotus]

Hey so I’m running into problems with node js it keeps making my bot unresponsive after 16 hours

[earnest phoenix]

Hello, how can I resolve this error? Is another way to check bot permission?

[coral sigil]

the message guild can be null, so typescript complains about it. Because you can send messages in DMs, then there wouldn't be message.guild

You need to either check if its null above or do message.guild?.me...

[earnest phoenix]

Ok, thanks

[split hazel]

welcome to typescript

this is why i stopped using it

it slows down my productivity

[earnest phoenix]

but i don't know why i still have this error..

[split hazel]

kind of defeats the purpose of js

[earnest phoenix]

i check bot permission

in my server bot have permission

[coral sigil]

Are you trying to register slash commands?

[earnest phoenix]

no, i try to make change nickname command

[coral sigil]

Oh, that just looked like it errored at the start so i thought you were registering

[earnest phoenix]

import { GuildMember, Permissions } from "discord.js";
import { ICommand } from "wokcommands";

export default {
    category: 'Moderating',
    description: 'Change Nickname',
    minArgs: 2,
    permissions: ['CHANGE_NICKNAME'],
    expectedArgs: '<users> <nickname>',

    callback: async ({  message, args, interaction }) => {
        let nickname = args.join(" ");
        const target = message ? message.mentions.members?.first() : interaction.options.getMember('user') as GuildMember
        if(!target) return `You need to tag someone to change him nickname.`
        if(message?.guild?.me?.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.CHANGE_NICKNAME, true)) {
            target.setNickname(nickname)
        }
    }
} as ICommand

this is my code

[coral sigil]

hmm

Are you sure the error came from that?

[earnest phoenix]

I think so... when i trigger the command error appear

[coral sigil]

Makes sense

Is the change nickname permission for changing others' nicknames

Or is it only for changing your own

That could be it

[boreal iron]

Nope his own

[coral sigil]

Yea so it still doesn't have permission if you only check for CHANGE_NICKNAME

[earnest phoenix]

hmmm

[boreal iron]

What you mean is MANAGE_NICKNAMES

[coral sigil]

Yea that is what you should check for

[earnest phoenix]

in my server i already have check it

[boreal iron]

Nope

[earnest phoenix]

on bot role

[coral sigil]

The role position matters

[boreal iron]

Do you wanna change the nickname of others or only the bot?

[coral sigil]

If you are trying to change someones nick that is above the bot's role, you cant

[earnest phoenix]

change the nickname of others

[earnest phoenix]

is above member role

[boreal iron]

Yeah then it’s MANAGE_NICKNAMES

[coral sigil]

And you are trying to change a member's nick?

[earnest phoenix]

yes

[coral sigil]

And this "member" does not have any other roles above the bot role?

[earnest phoenix]

no

[coral sigil]

Could you send the updated code that still makes the error?

[earnest phoenix]

Look, i try to check if my verification it work, and it work. but when i put target.setNickname(), he say's dosen't have permission

....

[earnest phoenix]

ok

import { GuildMember, Permissions } from "discord.js";
import { ICommand } from "wokcommands";

export default {
    category: 'Moderating',
    description: 'Change Nickname',
    minArgs: 2,
    permissions: ['CHANGE_NICKNAME', 'MANAGE_NICKNAMES'],
    expectedArgs: '<users> <nickname>',

    callback: async ({  message, args, interaction }) => {
        let nickname = args.join(" ");
        const target = message ? message.mentions.members?.first() : interaction.options.getMember('user') as GuildMember
        if(!target) return `You need to tag someone to change him nickname.`
        if(message?.guild?.me?.permissions.has(Permissions.FLAGS.MANAGE_NICKNAMES, true)) {
            target.setNickname(nickname)
        }
    }
} as ICommand

[coral sigil]

I think you need to do it like this: ```
if(message?.guild?.me?.permissions?.has("MANAGE_NICKNAMES")) {
target.setNickname(nickname)
}

(you don't have to pass the true as the second argument because it's default value is true)

[boreal iron]

You need the null coalescing operator only on the guild property

me property can’t be null

As well as permissions

[coral sigil]

Like that?

[boreal iron]

It can only be an empty array if you haven’t any permission

[coral sigil]

Well it'll complain :D

[boreal iron]

Not if you use it on the guild property

Only

[coral sigil]

Only on guild?

[boreal iron]

Yes

[earnest phoenix]

and if i remove on message error is back

[coral sigil]

I think it has to be on every if the one on the left has it

[boreal iron]

TypeScript shit…

Well nvm then

[coral sigil]

It actually does not make sense

[boreal iron]

Yeah

As I explained above

[earnest phoenix]

I think I'll move to javascript, it's nonsense with this typescript :)))

[boreal iron]

Well that’s up to you

But it will not fix your permission issue

[coral sigil]

Well I would say it is really good that you can see errors before you run the application

[wheat mesa]

pretty sure it's the .me causing it

since .me is a Member object

[coral sigil]

guild can also be null

[wheat mesa]

Yes

[boreal iron]

guild yes, me not wtf

[earnest phoenix]

but if i remove .me another error's appear

[coral sigil]

Yea it has a problem

[wheat mesa]

🤦‍♂️

[boreal iron]

Like on his screenshot permissions would be the issue

[coral sigil]

it doesnt get that you are trying to get a guild member

it onyl thinks that is a member object

[wheat mesa]

message.guild.me is a Member object of the bot

[coral sigil]

so you'll have to get message.guild.me as GuildMember

[coral sigil]

and then you can check it's permissions

[boreal iron]

Yeah know how you feel

[earnest phoenix]

oh

[wheat mesa]

pain

[boreal iron]

That’s what I feel watching that useless TS error

[coral sigil]

(message?.guild?.me as GuildMember)?.permissions.has("MANAGE_NICKNAMES");

[boreal iron]

Oh my ugly god

[coral sigil]

Almost forgot the ? :D

[boreal iron]

Never thought I would say this, but thanks for I’m using JS

[coral sigil]

That was not fun to troubleshoot when I first got it...

The error msg is not that clear

Remember to import GuildMember from discord.js

[earnest phoenix]

thanks

[coral sigil]

Did you get it working?

[wheat mesa]

message?.guild?.me!.permissions.has("MANAGE_NICKNAMES")
```I believe works as well

[coral sigil]

Yea I started to think that aswell after you posted the screenshot, it shows that .me can only be GuildMember

[hidden lily]

whats the best way to do time based events for your bots ? like if I want my bot to send something 25 min from now. Do I just use setInterval (NodeJS)?

[wheat mesa]

Oh you know what it is

It should be message.guild!.me.blahblahblah

[coral sigil]

But if someone sends a DM it crashes

Because then the message doesn't have a guild

[wheat mesa]

Ah yea

this is the witchery that I use const perms = payload.guild!.me?.permissionsIn((payload.message as any)?.channel)!;

But that's detritus

[coral sigil]

That looks worse than djs :D

[boreal iron]

Probably since they being checked each process tick

[wheat mesa]

not really

[hidden lily]

ok, good, I'm doing something right

[wheat mesa]

nothing is worse than djs

[coral sigil]

hmm

[boreal iron]

Well TS is but before that python

[coral sigil]

Why is python bad

[hidden lily]

do most of you guys use TS for bot development? I'm just using good old fashioned JS

[boreal iron]

But I do expect some slowdown if you plan to create thousands of it

[proven lantern]

TS is for people that dont want to learn JS

[wheat mesa]

I use ts

[boreal iron]

You’re a Texan, you don’t count

[wheat mesa]

And this is quite the opposite...

[coral sigil]

Agreed

[proven lantern]

lets see what the creator of JSON has to say about TS

https://youtu.be/XFTOG895C7c?t=3252

timestamped

[hidden lily]

yes that worries me, I don't think my bot will ever get that big, but the 4 years of software engineering school has taught me that this type of shit will not scale well. What I have in mind if my bot ever gets that big is to use a database and just have one setInterval running and update all the bots using one thread

but thats a later BlackDoom problem, current BlackDoom doesn't even have a verified bot yet

[proven lantern]

lowest value bugs found by type system. type system causes bugs

when you take a full accounting of types, they are just not worth it

[coral sigil]

That json guy is right

[proven lantern]

yeah, he created JSON and convinced people to switch from xml soap

[hidden lily]

my personal opinion is that Web was not made for Strong Typing

any time you try to shoe horn something into something that isn't accepting it is when you make unnecessary complexity

[boreal iron]

Might also be an idea to spread your workload into multiple threads later on

If you somehow notice a slowdown

[earnest phoenix]

The deno team stopped using typescript for their (internal) code even though deno is supposed to support typescript

It was too much brainfuck for them

[hidden lily]

yea thats also a good idea, I'm running everything from home now (I have my own server stack on a gigabit symmetrical network) but I think I would run seperate containers for my server with a load balancer instead of seperating out the threads

[cinder patio]

And yet it's written in rust... one of the more brainfucky languages out there.

[earnest phoenix]

All I like about typescript is the intellisense

[split hazel]

same

i dont like the aggressive and petty type errors/warnings

it will refuse to compile if you forget to do one thing

[cinder patio]

actually it still compiles if you have errors

[split hazel]

not for me

[cinder patio]

maybe you just haven't noticed it?

[hidden lily]

but intellisense with typescript gives you a false sense of security IMO

[split hazel]

nope

it just completely halts

[cinder patio]

well if it's a syntax error then yeah

but if it's related to types then it should still compile

[split hazel]

yeah types

it doesnt compile

i usually clear my dist folder too so it would be difficult to not notice

and besides the errors would be too annoying to just ignore

i used to go along with the flow of "ts is cool" but not anymore

slows me down too much

intellisense is cool though

[proven lantern]

you can get intellisense from jsdocs

[split hazel]

annoying to do

[hidden lily]

another newbie question: If you make any changes to your bot, does it need to get approved again

[split hazel]

/*
*

• {number} number
  */ is very unintuitive

in a library sure

[earnest phoenix]

there are editors that rename typescript as awesome intellisense powered by ai

[earnest phoenix]

/** parseInt

• {number} string
  */

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[split hazel]

and i do like strongly typed languages but trying to add strong and strict typing to a language that wasnt designed to be like that just makes it hard to use sometimes

[hidden lily]

yea, ai is one of those words that gets thrown around loosely

[digital lotus]

Has anyone else had an issue with node js just randomly taking your bot offline??

[split hazel]

the devil is downloading

[earnest phoenix]

starting with strongly type: kind of hard but still doable
doing dynamic types for 2.5 years then moving to strongly: kill me already

[split hazel]

i got used to it quickly

[earnest phoenix]

Provably an issue with your host

[split hazel]

i mostly use c++ nowadays

[earnest phoenix]

Replit or heroku?

[digital lotus]

I have no host

[hidden lily]

yea I was gonna say host issues normally break stuff

[digital lotus]

I run everyone myself

[hidden lily]

even memory errors

[earnest phoenix]

Well then you turned off the bot or killed the process

[digital lotus]

No I didn’t it would work before I go to bed but when I wake up the bot is offline it didn’t throw any errors just went offline

[split hazel]

what being an alpha male looks like:

[digital lotus]

I even have a batch to auto restart the bot upon error

[proven lantern]

use pm2

[digital lotus]

What does pm2 do if you don’t mind me asking

[proven lantern]

all this stuff

[earnest phoenix]

cry debate about it

is children a render prop in react

[digital lotus]

Thanks

[earnest phoenix]

Hi

Help me

[split hazel]

help me help you

breaks out into a song

[earnest phoenix]

See

All you're doing is changing the way the prop content is displayed

Isn't that what a render prop is supposed to do?

[proven lantern]

the render component is still handling the render, it's just passing it to the other component

[native walrus]

you can just do <div className={classNames(styled.root, className)} />

[earnest phoenix]

what classnames do

[native walrus]

nicely formats conditional classes

css modules is a pain though. So verbose for very little real benefit

[proven lantern]

i put logic there sometimes so i like having it ready

[native walrus]

you can still do that with the next argument

classNames(staticClass, {
  [dynamic]: condition
})

[proven lantern]

2 parameters?

no thank you

max 1 parameter

[native walrus]

uhh ok if you like writing unnecessary objects

[proven lantern]

i've done that in other places

but mixing is bad

[native walrus]

I don't see why that would be the case

classNames itself is pretty bad imo

[proven lantern]

i use it whenever i need to change class names based off the state

that's old code

i use @media selectors now

[woeful pike]

idk chakra does a lot of these out the box and it's not verbose like this

[woeful pike]

100% agree

[proven lantern]

i was using material-ui

[earnest phoenix]

U use chakra too?

[proven lantern]

they give these functions

[woeful pike]

ya

[proven lantern]

but regular css is better

more control

[earnest phoenix]

I tried Bulma for a while and I love it for static websites

[woeful pike]

bulma is ok but I end up fighting the framework more than actually using it

[earnest phoenix]

Chakra's good for dynamic stuff and accessibilty

[proven lantern]

i dont see the point of a css library when you just end up customizing their default components anyways

[earnest phoenix]

cries in 66 line sass file anyways

[woeful pike]

right, chakra doesn't have much of an opinion on your design. And you can turn it all off very easily in places where it does

for me it's a css preprocessor than a framework with built in styles

[earnest phoenix]

Chakra uses emotion and they say it makes your website sorta slow

[woeful pike]

yeah it is a little chunky

[earnest phoenix]

chonky

[woeful pike]

they also don't support using the smaller version of framer-motion

which makes me a bit upset

but the developer experience is so good that it's worth it

[earnest phoenix]

Center component

[woeful pike]

I don't hate my life doing designs with chakra

[earnest phoenix]

Saves a lot of headaches

[woeful pike]

Stack components take care of RTL too

[proven lantern]

is a css library going to make that any easier?

[earnest phoenix]

OwO what's that

Also put an epilepsy warning

[proven lantern]

regular css

[earnest phoenix]

also we're talking about chakra which is more about accessibility

[inland pelican]

Sa

[earnest phoenix]

d

bruh

@gilded plank sus

[azure lark]

how do i format this so i can put multiple lines on the web page?
res.status(200).json({"line_one": "Im line one", "line_two": "Im line two"})

[spark flint]

wtf is that

send more code

[azure lark]

making an api, its a express server and idk how to format the json so it is like:

"line_two": "im line two"```

[spark flint]

you don't need it outputted on multiple lines tho

it works just the same

[azure lark]

yes but its so people can read

its gonna say all endpoints and stuff

[coral sigil]

I don't think you can get it to multiple lines if you are only outputting json

It depends on the browser how it'll show it to them

Most browsers just dump the raw json so it will be on one line until the end of the screen

[azure lark]

something like this https://api.alexflipnote.dev/

[coral sigil]

Maybe you dont give them json? Give them html with line breaks or something like that

[azure lark]

hm ok

so just a render a html file that has it all on?

[coral sigil]

Yeah, but i'll look into that real quick

that link

[azure lark]

ok

[coral sigil]

They are using <pre>

That's how they show it just like they want to

[azure lark]

ah ok

in the json??

[coral sigil]

I'm sorry im wrong actually :D

[opaque seal]

Is it normal that I get '***' as project ID?

That section of the workflow is

# Push the Docker image to Google Container Registry
    - name: Publish
      run: |-
        docker push "gcr.io/${{ secrets.GKE_PROJECT }}/$IMAGE:$GITHUB_SHA"

Or is it just to hide the secret

in the output

(github actions)

[coral sigil]

Yea I think they hide it

[opaque seal]

ok

[coral sigil]

What browser are you using

[azure lark]

chrome

[boreal iron]

Of course you can

That doesn’t depend on the browser

You can return the raw string formatted

[coral sigil]

But is it still a json response?

[boreal iron]

Which is still a regular JSON response

Yes

[coral sigil]

Oh

[opaque seal]

On Firefox I get something like this

But it's just a json

[coral sigil]

Please explain it so Char can do it too

[opaque seal]

Firefox is formatting it

[boreal iron]

Just google JSON pretty print for JS

Im sure there’s a similar way doing it like with PHP

[opaque seal]

PHP

[boreal iron]

Aye

Pretty-printing is implemented natively in JSON.stringify(). The third argument enables pretty printing and sets the spacing to use:

var str = JSON.stringify(obj, null, 2); // spacing level = 2

There you go

[boreal iron]

That format has nothing to do with the raw data

You should be able to view the raw data as well in Firefox

[azure lark]

uhm

do i have to do something to display it on an express server or something??

[boreal iron]

Looks like a wrong content type

[azure lark]

eh

[coral sigil]

What does your code look like?

[azure lark]

const text = {
  "Test": ["Test", "Test2"]
}
// serialize JSON object
const str = JSON.stringify(text, null, 4);

// print JSON string
console.log(str);


  res.status(200).json(str)
})```

[boreal iron]

Content type application/json

Does it set that automatically?

[coral sigil]

Well it would make sense to do that automatically since res.json is used

[boreal iron]

Dunno express

[azure lark]

ye it dose im pretty sure

[boreal iron]

That TS error didn’t make sense, too

[coral sigil]

:D

[boreal iron]

Sense and nonsense are close to each other

[coral sigil]

especially in this lang

[boreal iron]

Well I can’t check it on mobile

You have to do it on your own

curl url -v

[coral sigil]

I think you need to app.use(expres.json())

But that is usually used on the server when you expect json, not when you are responding with json

[opaque seal]

I'm not understanding what I need to put in the deployment name
https://github.com/5A-Informatica-IIS-Silva-Ricci/kubernetes-discord-bot/blob/main/.github/workflows/google.yml#L24

[boreal iron]

In this case the content type must be wrong or \n would be parsed as new line

[coral sigil]

I read about it, I think JSON.stringify() puts the \n things there

[opaque seal]

Here it says "the name of your deployment"
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/deployment/deploying-to-google-kubernetes-engine#creating-the-workflow

But I don't get what that is

[boreal iron]

Yeah it’s called pretty printing

If it has the right content type it will be printed fancy as raw data but still be regular JSON data

Doing that myself, too on my API

[azure lark]

should i just send a html file

[coral sigil]

I'll test it

testing is faster than reading the stackoverflow

[boreal iron]

The screenshot I sent is pretty printing

[pale vessel]

you don't need to stringify it, res.json() does it for you

[coral sigil]

So its stringifying two times and thats what happens

[azure lark]

so do i just type the json how i want it

[boreal iron]

Just don’t use json() as method on res

[coral sigil]

Then the type might be wrong

[boreal iron]

If you wanna have pretty printing

[coral sigil]

content type

[boreal iron]

Yes that’s what I’m saying for 5 min now

Set the content type to application/json

Manually

res.header()?!

Whatever idk express

[pale vessel]

use res.json() without stringifying the object and set the spaces however you like it using app.set("option", "value") https://safe.kashima.moe/7kpgkyrgwe2k.png

[coral sigil]

and it has been also confirmed that res.json sets the correct content type

[pale vessel]

yes, it does https://safe.kashima.moe/ujmah94vrtc4.png

[azure lark]

so i do

app.get("/", (req, res) => {


const str = {
  "Test": "Hi",
  "Test2": "hi"
}


  res.status(200).json(str)
})

?

[coral sigil]

res.json sets the correct content type, you dont have to do that manually.

[azure lark]

oh ok

so its just:

const str = {
  "Test": "Hi",
  "Test2": "hi"
}


  res.status(200).json(str)
})```
?

[coral sigil]

flazepe said you'll have to set the spaces using app.set

[azure lark]

how

[coral sigil]

For example like this app.set("json spaces", " ")

That would use 2 space indenting

Do that outside the app.get

[pale vessel]

you could also just put 2 as value and it'll use 2 spaces

or "\t" if you want it to use tabs

[coral sigil]

However you like

[azure lark]

used this, ty!

[fair axle]

How can I delete a slash commands in discord.js v13?

[boreal iron]

Get its ID and send a delete request

client.application.commands.delete()

(if it’s a global command)

delete() takes the command ID as argument or the command resolvable

[digital lotus]

Thanks it’s working great now

[earnest phoenix]

\t is one character less than two spaces so it'll probably give a smaller response

[earnest phoenix]

My bot ideas are totally cringe
You people are gonna laugh
It’s a restaurant economy bot

My bot replies with h when someone says h and it's in 75+ servers

[earnest phoenix]

h

nice

seems like a useful bot

more useful than mine

lol

[earnest phoenix]

Sarcasm or real

[marble juniper]

totally really

*real

Anyone know about adding a custom background image on the bot page? I'm adding the imgur link but it says only jpeg and png are accepted even though it is...

[north mural]

Hey I got a question if anyone can help

[wheat mesa]

https://dontasktoask.com/

[short pilot]

This should work for voting right? do i need to authorize

import topgg

@client.event
async def on_dbl_vote(data):
    bob = data["username"] + data["discriminator"]
    if bob in daily_limit:
        daily_limit[bob][0] += 1
        daily_limit[bob][1] += 1
    else:
        daily_limit[bob] = [4, 4]
    limit_file = open("daily_limit.json", "w")
    json.dump(daily_limit, limit_file)
    limit_file.close()
    print(time() + " - " + bob + " - voted, daily_limit updated")```

[earnest phoenix]

please stop using a json file for a database 🙏 🙏 🙏

[short pilot]

my bot is the first thing I've coded in python that's more than a few hundred lines of code, i'm just happy it doesn't explode whenever i use a command

[earnest phoenix]

Lol

[flat copper]

i have an issue that when i restart my bot its automatically emitting guildCreate or guildDelete events

[short pilot]

I'm assuming my code should theoretically work then, apart from being massively inefficient?

[earnest phoenix]

Maybe

I don't do python so just try it and see if it works

[short pilot]

didn't even trigger the function

im guessing i need to add this with my bot token?

bot.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(client).dbl_webhook("/dblwebhook", "password")
await bot.topgg_webhook.run(5000)```

how do i vote again to test it?

[boreal iron]

That’s not an issue, those event are happening while your bot is offline or they are keep happening because of an unavailable guild.

[rustic nova]

just have it ignore that event when guild is undefined on that event

[boreal iron]

You should always check if a guild is available, in any event if you’re dealing with a guild

[earnest phoenix]

I think you already told him that before

[boreal iron]

if(!guild.available) return;

I think so

[boreal iron]

This channel is just a continuous repeating of things

[earnest phoenix]

!guild.available && return

are you allowed to use return in an operator

[boreal iron]

In that case it would be a condition

The operator is &&

[coral sigil]

:D

[short pilot]

mmmkay my code still does absolutely nothing when someone votes

client.topgg_webhook = topgg.WebhookManager(client).dbl_webhook("/dblwebhook", "my bot token")
client.topgg_webhook.run(5000)

@client.event
async def on_dbl_vote(data):
    # doesn't run```

pls help

[sterile brook]

Imagine not using json objects in json db

[earnest phoenix]

my non techy friend really thinks mongodb is a json database

[split hazel]

i mean is he wrong

he's already learning fast

[woeful pike]

yeah 99% of people on discord use mongodb because they think it's a json datatabase they can use without getting yelled at

[earnest phoenix]

Anything that prevents me from using different data structures for different parts of the app is a win win for me

Imagine converting sql stuff to json so you can actually use it

afaik it's supposed to stink really hard

am i simping for mongodb

[hybrid cargo]

Another reason is... heroku does not support sql and people are broke to buy a vps

[woeful pike]

we're having a really really difficult time migrating the shitty mongodb database for topgg to postgres because there's no data validation and every once in a while we get a field on a record that should be a boolean like approved for bots that is a string for no reason

you can't make assumptions on the data you're working with because there's no data integrity

a language that doesn't check types passing random shit into a database that doesn't check types. What could possibly go wrong

the only reason i can see myself using mongodb is if I'm building something rly quick that needs a little bit of persistence. And I only do that because of mongodb atlas, not because mongodb is actually good

[earnest phoenix]

easy is better than efficient

and mongoose exists

you can't hate on react for not having state management built-in because they know the community can make one better

[woeful pike]

mongoose is one of the worst ORMs I've ever used

you can do validation at the application layer but you still don't have integrity. You can't safely do migration between schemas because the database doesn't have info on what the schema looks like in the first place lmao. Also there's basically no tooling for migrations to begin with

mongodb people just like to pretend they don't have a schema for some reason

honestly mongodb is an L you take for scalability, not a tool that makes your life easier. And it's not even necessarily good at that either

[woeful pike]

also state hooks and contexts exist

[earnest phoenix]

I just use mongodb bc of the free offered atlas

[sterile brook]

Tru

[lyric mountain]

it's not that heroku doesn't support sql, it's just that you cant use file-based dbs on it

normal externally hosted dbs work just as fine

[sterile brook]

It was sarcasm my high techy(no) friend

[cinder patio]

heruko has a postgres add-on

[lyric mountain]

ye

still technically an external db

[marble juniper]

just use supabase

it provides a postgres instance for free

lol

but with a 500 mb limit but I personally don't store that much anyways

for bots that aren't on a giant scale that store server settings its perfect

[woeful pike]

supabase is good

the 500mb limit is the same as the mongodb atlas limit

[marble juniper]

also you can self host it as well

using docker

[woeful pike]

you might as well just setup a proper database if you're gonna go down that route

[marble juniper]

ig

[azure lark]

how do i set the body of a website to an image

[earnest phoenix]

it ain't about you

[earnest phoenix]

css background-image?

[azure lark]

no, like how discord do it. so you can pate the url: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/895400729978736670/902188027642773534/discordblue.png and it will display the image and you can use it in embeds and stuff

[earnest phoenix]

oh

opengraph

[wheat mesa]

You mean like this: https://discord.com/

That image?

[azure lark]

no

this

[earnest phoenix]

If you want to do embeds on your website:

1. Send a request to that link and check the content type header
   If it's an image (res.headers['content-type'].test(/^image\//))
2. Put an <img> under the message with the src set to the url

[earnest phoenix]

You want the entire website to be the image?

[azure lark]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

set the background image of the body element with css

[azure lark]

so the link is the image,
so in an embed i could do;
.setImage("https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/895400729978736670/902188027642773534/discordblue.png")

[earnest phoenix]

umm
why don't you just open the image link

your browser will already display it in full size

[azure lark]

no, im making an api and i want it to display an image like that, thats just an example.

[earnest phoenix]

anyways

#some-element {
    background-image: url("some url");
}

that's the css you need for it

[earnest phoenix]

wait wait wait, does the api give html or raw image data?

[azure lark]

raw image data

[earnest phoenix]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/742659029607907340.png

your browser already shows it as full size

[coral sigil]

@spark flint You can force a cache refresh on chrome with ctrl + shift + R i think

[spark flint]

ah ok

[cold meteor]

Apologies quick question:
Im new to Javascript, and currently trying to work with coding a website in it.

My issue is the following

I have this code on my website

        <script type="text/javascript">
        let progress = document.getElementById('progressbar');
        let totalHeight = document.body.scrollHeight - window.innerHeight;
        window.onscroll = function(){
            let progressHeight = (window.pageYOffset / totalHeight) * 100;
            progress.style.height = progressHeight + "%";
        }
        </script>

When moved to the javascript.js file, the code doesnt work anymore, im confused as to why.
any help would be appreciated

<script type="text/javascript" src="main/js/javascript.js" ></script>

This is the link i did to the javascript file.

[earnest phoenix]

really ?

[azure lark]

is there a way that i can turn a canvas image into a link

[lyric mountain]

no, but u can save it as a file and serve it like any other file

or just upload to discord

[azure lark]

its not for a bot, its for a web server

[cinder patio]

You can convert it to buffer and then convert that buffer to base64

[pale vessel]

add the image to a canvas and use canvas.toDataURL()

it's basically base64

[shadow frigate]

I'm looking to use UptimeRobot to keep track of the status of my discord bot, I already use it for my webserver, but how would display the status of my discord bot instead?

[boreal iron]

Well your bot needs to continuously answer requests to make it possible to check if it’s alive or not.

I guess the easiest way is to listen to HTTP requests and answer them with a 200 status code

If the bot is down it doesn’t answer anymore which will be noticed as down time

But I’ve got no clue if your service supports that.
That’s something you will have to find out

[shadow frigate]

@boreal iron Issue is, i'm already doing that for my webserver

I don't want to have to create another web server in the code of my bot

Since it already has one

[boreal iron]

If so what prevents you from sending requests to it, if it already exists?

[earnest phoenix]

You can only preview if bot is online or offline

It doesnt fetch server Informations just checking if its available

[shadow frigate]

Because i'm already pinging the server to see if that is up and running

Which does not account for my discord bot

[boreal iron]

If the webserver code is part of your bot, it also means the bot's running.

[shadow frigate]

Nope

Running the webserver and bot separately

[boreal iron]

I don't want to have to create another web server in the code of my bot

You need to respond to requests in any way.

Looking on your services website there isn’t much more available to use in your case

Also why shouldn’t a simple and lightweight webserver be a problem?

Define a specific port for it and configure your firewall that only uptime robot can access it

Therefore no spam and/or performance issues will appear

[vivid fulcrum]

you can also tunnel it w ngrok or cloudflare tunnel

[azure lark]

how do i make an express endpoint that i can do /magik/<user id> and it will distort the user with the id said in the url's profile pic and then return that image so someone could send it in an embed,
i already have the part where it finds all the info about the user using the id and gets their profile pic.

[lyric mountain]

just a heads up, that's bound to fail

discord hates urls that return different results each time it's accessed

[azure lark]

ohh

[lyric mountain]

so, like, if the user changes avatar and retry it'll still show the old avatar

[azure lark]

even after a long wait?

[vivid fulcrum]

no

i don't remember what the cache expiry is

however

you can append a cache buster to the url, forcing the discord to recache the image from the url

[azure lark]

should i just do /magik?<image url>?

[lyric mountain]

ye

that'll do to make discord not cache it

[azure lark]

okay, either way, how do i do that lol

[lyric mountain]

just grab the param and return a blob

like

?id=123456789 means param id will have value 123456789

grab the user avatar using that id

then set response header content-type to image/jpg (or whatever format u want) and put the modified image bytes into the body

it'll result into something like this

except with a different image obv

in this example, I use two params (anime and name)

[azure lark]

im just not sure how i would change the image and then send it back

[lyric mountain]

THAT'S a whole new issue

[azure lark]

ah. my bad

[lyric mountain]

you'll want to use canvas for that probably

give it a search on how to process images using it

[azure lark]

okay

[lyric mountain]

it can range from incredibly easy to overwhelmingly hard

depending on your goal

[azure lark]

i know a lil bit of canvas, its mainly getting the image from it and then sending as the response

[earnest phoenix]

Nice,sadly i can't find any integration for my actual projects.Since i need the changestream functionality,which mongodb has.

[dapper jasper]

So I'm trying to make a slash command I have this code but I don't know what to do with it:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');

const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('log')
.setDescription('logs some info.')
.addStringOption(option => option.setName('input').setDescription('Enter a string'))
.addIntegerOption(option => option.setName('int').setDescription('Enter an integer'))
.addNumberOption(option => option.setName('num').setDescription('Enter a number'))
.addBooleanOption(option => option.setName('choice').setDescription('Select a boolean'))
.addUserOption(option => option.setName('target').setDescription('Select a user'))
.addChannelOption(option => option.setName('destination').setDescription('Select a channel'))
.addRoleOption(option => option.setName('muted').setDescription('Select a role'))
.addMentionableOption(option => option.setName('mentionable').setDescription('Mention something'));

then:

client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
    if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;

    const string = interaction.options.getString('input');
    const integer = interaction.options.getInteger('int');
    const number = interaction.options.getNumber('num');
    const boolean = interaction.options.getBoolean('choice');
    const user = interaction.options.getUser('target');
    const member = interaction.options.getMember('target');
    const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('destination');
    const role = interaction.options.getRole('muted');
    const mentionable = interaction.options.getMentionable('mentionable');
    
    console.log([string, integer, boolean, user, member, channel, role, mentionable]);
});

But I'm almost certain I'm missing a step because it doesn't show up

[pale vessel]

You have to actually post the slash command as a guild or global command

[dapper jasper]

how do i?

[earnest phoenix]

Post slash command with options

client.application.commands.create({ name, description, options });

[dapper jasper]

ok and for a guild client.application.guild("<id>").commands.create({ name, description, options });?

[earnest phoenix]

Idk i am caching guild and than creating commands

But if it works yes its true

[dapper jasper]

i still do not see

[earnest phoenix]

Need to see your code

[dapper jasper]

client.once('ready', () => {
const data = new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('log')
.setDescription('logs some info.')
.addStringOption(option => option.setName('input').setDescription('Enter a string'))
.addIntegerOption(option => option.setName('int').setDescription('Enter an integer'))
.addNumberOption(option => option.setName('num').setDescription('Enter a number'))
.addBooleanOption(option => option.setName('choice').setDescription('Select a boolean'))
.addUserOption(option => option.setName('target').setDescription('Select a user'))
.addChannelOption(option => option.setName('destination').setDescription('Select a channel'))
.addRoleOption(option => option.setName('muted').setDescription('Select a role'))
.addMentionableOption(option => option.setName('mentionable').setDescription('Mention something'));
console.log(client.application.commands.create(data));
console.log('Ready!');
});

[earnest phoenix]

Hmm

What about adding options on command file

[dapper jasper]

output:

Promise { <pending> }
Ready!

[dapper jasper]

wdym?

[earnest phoenix]

module.exports = {
    "name": "join-channel",
    "type": 1,
    "description": "Sends auto Mesage when someone joined.",
    "options": [
        {
            "name": "options",
            "description": "What you want to do?",
            "type": 3,
            "required": true,
            "choices": [
                {
                    "name": "Set",
                    "value": "set"
                },
                {
                    "name": "Reset",
                    "value": "reset"
                }
            ]
        },
        {
            "name": "channel",
            "description": "Choose a channel",
            "type": 7,
            "required": false,
            "channelTypes": ['GUILD_TEXT'],
        },
    ],
    async run(client, i, lang, options)

[dapper jasper]

oh i will get

[earnest phoenix]

and

const commands = fs.readdirSync(`./commands/${dir}/`).filter(file => file.endsWith(".js")).forEach(async cmd => {
    let file = require(`./commands/${dir}/${cmd}`);

let name = file.name
let desc = file.description
let options = file.options

commands.crete ({name: name, description: desc, options: options})

[dapper jasper]

@earnest phoenix now I'm confused

[earnest phoenix]

Why

[dapper jasper]

I have no clue what you're talking about

[earnest phoenix]

Dont you try to add options?

[dapper jasper]

gives me the json:

{
  "name": "log",
  "description": "logs some info.",
  "options": [
    {
      "type": 3,
      "name": "input",

      "required": false
    },
    {
      "type": 4,
      "name": "int",
      "description": "Enter an integer",
      "required": false
    },
    {
      "type": 10,
      "name": "num",
      "description": "Enter a number",
      "required": false
    },
    {
      "type": 5,
      "name": "choice",
      "description": "Select a boolean",
      "required": false
    },
    {
      "type": 6,
      "name": "target",
      "description": "Select a user",
      "required": false
    },
    {
      "type": 7,
      "name": "destination",
      "description": "Select a channel",
      "required": false
    },
    {
      "type": 8,
      "name": "muted",
      "description": "Select a role",
      "required": false
    },
    {
      "type": 9,
      "name": "mentionable",
      "description": "Mention something",
      "required": false
    }
  ]
}
