dapper jasper
And what you are trying to do
Just figure out how to make a slash command
I have a json string how do I upload it to discord?
earnest phoenix
With that way
dapper jasper
that doesn't make any sense to me
earnest phoenix
You dont need slash command builder thing
Check this for example
Or nwm this is more complicated

anybody else getting timeout when logging in their bots?
pale vessel
No need to deal with timeouts when you use a webhook for interactions 
proven lantern
it's my legacy commands
april needs to happen now
why is it timing out!
some hacker guild downloaded my bot with 20k other bots. maybe that is causing issues some how
lol
lyric mountain
"downloaded my bot"?
proven lantern
you know
i only cache roles and guilds
is anyone else able to login with their bots now?
it just sits at await client.login(token); until it times out
my unit test cant login either
i can login with my test bot token
it's the hacker guild messing with me
how can a guild prevent my bot from logging in?
split hazel
it cant unless you broke something
proven lantern
i can login with my test bot token. my prod bot token cant login
native walrus
i only cache roles and guilds
what's the point of doing this
split hazel
are there any errors?
proven lantern
just a timeout
proven lantern
what's the point of doing this
my legacy commands use the roles
split hazel
i think i fixed it by increasing the timeout
proven lantern
i'm running a unit test now that it still trying to connect
native walrus
but why? this doesn't prevent the client from being created
split hazel
it will usually timeout on slow servers
proven lantern
it has a 999999 timeout
native walrus
Promises are eager, they're run when they're created, not when they're awaited
also you probably don't want to connect to discord if you're doing unit tests
proven lantern
Promises are eager, they're run when they're created, not when they're awaited
i wrap promises in functions to deal with that
proven lantern
also you probably don't want to connect to discord if you're doing unit tests
i am testing connection to discord
it's still trying to connect
native walrus
yeah but in this case
module.exports = new Client()
and
module.exports = Promise.resolve(new Client())
are basically the exact same thing
proven lantern

proven lantern
yeah but in this case
```js

```
and

oh yeah, ignore that. this code will all go in the garbage soon
still logging in...
5 minutes so far
native walrus
is it also not working outside of the unit test? Does logging in return a promise in discord.js?
native walrus
jest will time out before that can complete if it's taking a long time though
native walrus
you can perform a rest call to leave that guild without logging in can't you
proven lantern
i might need to do that
someone else from yesterday had this guild invite their bot. i wonder if they are having the same issue
native walrus
just react to the guild create event with a leave I guess
proven lantern
are you having any issues logging in with your bot today?
i cant login to get the guild create event
i'll need to use the api directly
still logging in btw
proven lantern
jest will time out before that can complete if it's taking a long time though
you win
native walrus
strange that you would be blocked from logging in when that's happening though
proven lantern
that guild was doing strange things. they probably found a bug with discord and are exploiting it

it logged in after deleting that guild...

boreal iron
Has kicked my bot out a few days ago
But still took me a while to login even if im not part of it anymore
If you’re still in you should probably log the message event just for fun to see what’s going on in there, incl. bot messages
proven lantern
i left, i couldn't login
boreal iron
Oh ok
proven lantern
but they have 23k bots and are just sending the !help command to all of them
slash commands will fix that
proven lantern
maybe my bot was trying to get the 23k messages from all the other bots before initializing
boreal iron
23k?
native walrus
how are they inviting 23k bots. Selfbot?
don't you have to pass a captcha to invite
boreal iron
It has kicked out my bot with ~ 7k members
Probably because I completely disabled regular commands a few days
After sending a notice to use slash commands for a few months now
proven lantern
how are they inviting 23k bots. Selfbot?
good point. they'd have to get past captcha
maybe they have a human farm

god how can you guys program in javascript
glossy summit
c# gang
spark flint
i moved to python again for the dbl.tf api
instead of making like 3 requests using JS, it just uses python
js stinky
glossy summit
use typescript?
woeful pike
too much trouble at this point. All of this is already written in js
glossy summit
woeful pike
be smart bois don't start new projects in js
pale vessel
that's what happens when you inherit a codebase that isn't yours
woeful pike
literally my entire life for the past year
pale vessel
did xig give up on it or what
glossy summit
i'd prefer JS over Python lol
woeful pike
they're both awful
woeful pike
they're awesome to prototype in. I love python syntax but it's just not worth making a project that has more than 2 files in a dynamically typed or "type hinted" language
spark flint
they're both awful
i'm pro procrastinating python coder
glossy summit
Join the strongly typed side 
spark flint
i start coding and realise how useless what i'm coding is
i'm trying js
but i'm hating it
I accidentally deleted all my fucking code
green kestrel
go go gadget version control
woeful pike
I spent the weekend working on a haskell project and it was blissful. I barely had to run my code let alone turn on my bot to test its commands
pale vessel
this is why you use version control
green kestrel
so who here has already applied for message intent
woeful pike
when the types fit together you know you're golden
spark flint
this is why you use version control
yeah but i merged two files
so no version control
god damn cpanel
glossy summit
yeah but i merged two files
commit regularly ez 🙂
spark flint
i simplified my code now tho
instead of making like 5 api requests just go direct to the api
instead of submit.dbl.tf doing api.dbl.tf/validatebot /validatename and /create and then getting the info back from api
it now just posts direct to api.dbl.tf
glossy summit
I haven't heard about CPanel in a long time
glossy summit
i'm a fan of using Dokku for personal stuff and Azure for production stuff
green kestrel
not much wrong with cpanel, not much right either
glossy summit
but only Azure b/c I work with a lot of Azure stuff at work
spark flint
but only Azure b/c I work with a lot of Azure stuff at work
i'm quite new to the hosting stuff
woeful pike
dokku is cool
spark flint
so i have little to no experience
glossy summit
Dokku is really cool
spark flint
https://porter.run
looks good
woeful pike
makes moving apps into production stupidly easy
it's heroku but it only costs 1 million dollars instead of 10
woeful pike
not sure why you'd use cpanel in this day and age
spark flint
and then i have directadmin reseller hosting for hosting others sites
spark flint
not sure why you'd use cpanel in this day and age
simple for me to understand
i'm starting to move away from it
glossy summit
i just use cpanel reseller hosting
nab a decent but inexpensive VPS and throw dokku on it. you wont regret it
woeful pike
my only problem with dokku was it can't be scaled horizontally
or it can but I think it was super confusing
glossy summit
yeah you aren't wrong, but for most things it does pretty well. Just ensure you put it on something with enough resources. Most of my personal projects don't demand a ton of resources, so it makes a lot of sense.
I'd say most people are in the same boat
woeful pike
neither do mine, I just love spending time worrying about meaningless stuff instead of working towards releasing a usable product
glossy summit
yeah.. 
when you build your product around a tech stack vs. tech stack around the product type beat lol
woeful pike
Architecture for a 0 user website btw
glossy summit
felt. But drawing up the architecture stack can be so fun sometimes 
woeful pike
more fun than actually working on the app sadly
hopefully I'll have chance to finish up image discovery next month if I ever get a breather from topgg
split hazel
why do you have a rabbit (bunny) in your architecture
woeful pike
the labeler is really slow and can't be scaled up easily. I don't want to queue requests in-memory for each webserver since they're meant to be ephemeral so rabbit is the correct choice for that
if the site goes down the queued images don't get lost
storm bluff
any ideas for a bot?
dapper jasper
It just won't work
woeful pike
message queues are also good at decoupling things. If I get an error processing an image I can just put it in the dead letter queue and try again after 30 minutes or whatever while being able to restart the as I want
spark flint
wait xet - is server counts not showing correctly on the site a caching issue?
just wanna check i'm correct
woeful pike
probably a caching issue
woeful pike
it's not exactly crucial for that number to be 100% correct
proven lantern

Douglas Crockford says class free oop is javascripts gift to the world

You can be a good programmer by practicing a lot.

wheat mesa
I think rust is going to be more and more popular in the future for performance-heavy applications
Js will never replace compiled languages
woeful pike
I hope JS will continue to be a compilation target for the browser like assembly is right now
like we've basically universally agreed that assembly is just not a very productive tool for most usecases
so we compile to it instead. I think we're going to be seeing more and more of that in the future
more typescript and wasm, less js
proven lantern
Adding strict types to a language that transpiles to dynamic types makes no sense.
wheat mesa
Just because it’s dynamically typed doesn’t make it immune from issues with types though
proven lantern
Still need to test

You need to get the guild object from your cache
how to?
boreal iron
Or simple add the guild ID as argument to what Tyrone wrote
client.application.command.create({ … }, "guild ID");
There’s an optional guild ID parameter
dapper jasper
client.application.command.create({ … }, "guild ID");
What happens if I don't specify the guild id?
boreal iron
Not especially needed to get the guild from your cache tho
It will get a global command
dapper jasper
It will get a global command
But it did not show up
boreal iron
Yeah because it takes up to 1 hour until it’s being deployed in all guilds
dapper jasper
Yeah because it takes up to 1 hour until it’s being deployed in all guilds
But I waited for an hour does the bot have to be on that whole time?
boreal iron
No once the registration was successful it’s available no matter what your bots status is
dapper jasper
😕 then why isn't it showing up?
boreal iron
But if you register the command over and over again it may gets overwritten causing another delay until it’s deployed (again)
Does your bot has the right scope to register slash commands?
dapper jasper
Does your bot has the right scope to register slash commands?
Idk tell me how to check
boreal iron
You have to add the right scope to the invite link
There’s a guide available somewhere explaining you how to do it.
You can check if the registration was successful by fetching the commands
client.application.commands.fetch() return a collection of the registered commands
(It’s a promise)
But still even if they’re registered, you need that scope in the guild you wanna use slash commands, no matter it’s a global or guild command
coral sigil
But if you register the command over and over again it may gets overwritten caus...
the command is still visible here but not usable
boreal iron
Yeah it will be replaced by one with the same name but different app ID
In the beginning it happened quite a lot these commands appeared twice or more
boreal iron
also I don’t understand why Discord allows to register the same command multiple times
Updating or delete yeah but not registering the same command causing a replacement
That should return an error in my mind
To force the user using he proper methods

Anyone have a good way to make a lightweight API endpoint for returning stats about my bot?
I'd use express but I'm not sure if that's the best option for something as simple as this
pale vessel
http's createServer() will just do
wheat mesa
Alright, I'll look into that
boreal iron
I would recommend posting the stats into a database frequently, which data you can access directly or cached later on, instead of creating an access point in your bots code
wheat mesa
Ah, that's probably a much better idea
boreal iron
If you don’t need a history of your status, we’re going to speak about static data.
Even putting that stats in a JSON file ever few minutes and accessing that file each hit on your site is okay
Much more easier
And static content in a JSON file is okay
wheat mesa
Not looking to store graphs of anything, but it just needs to be able to be accessed remotely
boreal iron
You gonna overwrite the file over and over again
wheat mesa
Db is gonna be the way to go for this one
boreal iron
Not reading and updating its content
Yeah a database or a public available data file like a JSON file
boreal iron
Db is gonna be the way to go for this one
Especially if you have a database already in place
boreal iron
how do i make a bunch of images next to eachother
Put them into div tags and display them as table and table-cell, set the images as inline-block or use float

Starting with electron for the first time. How do I access an element by ID? I'm going to assume that it's not the same way you would do it with raw html, since I keep getting document is not defined when I try to use document.getElementById()
woeful pike
sounds like you're trying to get the document inside node
which doesn't exist
would honestly recommend using a framework, raw js website is probably going to be a nightmare with electron
wheat mesa
Yeah, I'll probably look into jquery or something
Just trying to get this up and running
Which I'm now following a tutorial instead because apparently getting electron to work with ts is a little more work than I thought

in any operation where you expect an integer, values above max int value will get trucated and behave weirdly
tim taught me that tbh
pale spindle
You can’t put > at the end of a number type
but i removed it
wheat mesa
Tim the walking javascript doc
lyric mountain
like ids getting truncated
wheat mesa
but i removed it
What does your code look like
pale spindle
"unexpected identofier"
wheat mesa
How do you make these?
<t:Unix timestamp:R>
wheat mesa
"unexpected identofier"
Send a screenshot of your code
You probably have a typo somewhere
pale spindle
error gone when i added "=" between string and c hannel but still not doing anything
wheat mesa
I’m confused on what your code even looks like, it’s really difficult to go off of vague descriptions of it.
wheat mesa
What even...
boreal iron
wtf is that syntax?
pale spindle
idk
wheat mesa
I highly suggest looking into learning javascript before making a discord bot
pale spindle
i was just tryna find theerror
wheat mesa
You have to do let channel = blahblahblah to create a variable named channel
pale spindle
bet ty
wheat mesa
Still gonna recommend you check out some js websites
pale spindle
will do
wheat mesa
Because that’s very very basic stuff that you should know before making a bot
Otherwise you’ll be confused later on
pale spindle
the thing is that i dind't know this command and i got confused af

wtf is that syntax?
I told him to use string instead of integer due to ids being truncated (unless declared as bigint)
let's say...he took it to a whole new level

For a bot's slash commands to appear in a guild, what is the maximum amount of bots can there be in that "said" guild?
lyric mountain
don't think there's a limit for that
feral aspen
Can 30 bot's slash commands appear in a guild?
pale vessel
Why not?
boreal iron
You can scroll through the list of apps and their commands
Entering a few chars of the command will also reduce the list and just show the possibles matches
feral aspen
You can scroll through the list of apps and their commands
I want to write a documentation for the slash commands, is there some FAQ about it when users comes to using a bot's slash commands?
boreal iron
Well for me the commands description is almost enough
But an help command with a few more details can't be wrong
coral sigil
can someone help me whit brainfuck
What's wrong?

Mongoose (JS) related question:
How do I check, if a string in an object which is in an array is present?
Like, I wanna check, if a user has the achievement "First Command".
My Schema keeps it like this:
{
name: "First Command",
achieved: true
}, {
...
}
]```
And I want to check if the achievements array contains an object, which contains the `name` "First Command"Without knowing the position of the object
I've tried:
achievements[0].name
achievements.name
I didn't try mapping the data / putting it in a for loop, cuz idk how that would help
feral aspen
Basically check if achievments have an achievment named as First Command?
feral aspen
Indeed, .map() method will not be useful at this case, you can use another method named as .some().
As in for your code..
lament stump
But what do I return in the map()?
Filtering if the name isn't "First Command" then returning if the map contains "First Command"?
lyric mountain
map returns the mapped object
lament stump
Yeah
feral aspen
const achievements = [
{
name: 'First Command',
achieved: true
}
];
console.log(achievements.some((val) => val.name === 'First Command')); // True
console.log(achievements.some((val) => val.name.toLowerCase() === 'First Command'.toLowerCase())); // True
Here you go. :)
lament stump
Oh i forgot that .some worked like this
feral aspen
Most importantly, please understand the code before pasting it in.
lament stump
I'll try it c:
feral aspen
Would you like for me to explain it?
lament stump
Most importantly, please understand the code before pasting it in.
I am, Object-Arrays are just stupid
Nah, I'm fine
feral aspen
I am, Object-Arrays are just stupid
They are kind-of a long lesson, hardest one is .reduce(). 🙈
lament stump
.reduce() is stupid too imo
feral aspen
Not stupid, but hard to learn.
You will use it a lot when it comes to sharding, in the near future.
lament stump
(my bot with 5 servers be like: tf is sharding bro)

@lyric mountain tyyy
crystal wigeon
Hey quick question
pale spindle
@wheat mesa u too
crystal wigeon
Will my bot not work with prefix commands from next year??
Do I have to change to slash commands?
lyric mountain
depends
crystal wigeon
someone said discord won’t be sending raw messages?
Like bruh how am I gonna identify users or ids typed
lyric mountain
that's missinformation
crystal wigeon
thought so
lyric mountain
if u have message intent disabled u wont receive message content
message content as in CONTENT, not the message itself
imagine as if everybody sent empty messages
lyric mountain
bot would see ""
crystal wigeon
What
lyric mountain
empty 👏 message
crystal wigeon
It’s not gonna see “$ bite”?
lyric mountain
you have 3 options
1 - use message intent, don't be verified, forget about 100+ guilds
2 - use message intent, be verified, live as normal
3 - don't use message intent, use slashes, that's it
lyric mountain
as an addendum, you need a VERY good reason to apply for message intent
crystal wigeon
Hmm
lyric mountain
to the point where ur bot wouldn't even be possible if using slashes
if its life depends on message content
anything less and you'll be denied
crystal wigeon
basically it’s life does depend on message content
lyric mountain
what does it do?
crystal wigeon
Simulate a battle?
Etc
There also commands to set teams where they type in numbers
lyric mountain
also, as it seems they require images/videos regarding it
crystal wigeon
If players want to invoke some commands they need to pass arguments
Yeah
I can do that
We got clips
lyric mountain
If players want to invoke some commands they need to pass arguments
that can be done with slashes
crystal wigeon
Is it easy to implement?
lyric mountain
kinda
crystal wigeon
Like I got args initially and do be passing it to inner funcs
Let’s see
Also
I just checked and I’m currently not using message content
Well the only thing I’m using is message.content to read the commands
and message.author
lyric mountain
then you're using message content duh
crystal wigeon
Also does slash commands help against self bots?
lyric mountain
they dont
earnest phoenix
they dont
What if discord adds a cooldown feature to slash commands
If someone raids the interactions just wont go to your bot
earnest phoenix
Except maybe forcing users to switch to slash commands and adding message intent
lyric mountain
still wont prevent selfbots
you can't tell apart normal and self users
and it's so easy for discord to actually prevent it
just make user endpoints not acessible anymore
voila, no more selfbots
earnest phoenix
Discord uses cloudflare
Doesn't cloudflare have bot protection?
lyric mountain
you're missing the point
lyric mountain
if you login to an user account using the token there's absolutely no way of detecting whether it's an actual user or a selfbot
the only thing discord could do is making user endpoints private to the client
crystal wigeon
Has discord fixed mobile login yet
lyric mountain
You can still use chrome dev tools
that's a good point actually
spark flint
nope
crystal wigeon
Like it keeps directing me back to login page tsktsk
spark flint
stinky discord
feral aspen
They ruining things more work for devs to migrate to slash commands
Well, Discord is Discord. 
wheat mesa
It’s totally not like we’ve been given a massive warning ahead of time that we have to migrate to slash commands or anything 
Slash commands are easier for users as well
spark flint

Hi
boreal iron
How to show the bot status in top.gg
Either by posting the stats frequently yourself to topgg or using its autoposter SDK to do the same job for you.
earnest phoenix
Is there api discord.cpp
Found it
eternal osprey
Error: /root/gauntlet-v3/node_modules/canvas/build/Release/canvas.node: invalid ELF header tried npm install an npm rebuild.
went from windows > linux
willow mirage
why it doesn't show up?
client.user.setActivity(`Starting up`, { type: "PLAYING" });
coral sigil
```js
client.user.setActivity(`Starting up`, { type: "PLAYING" });
```
What discord.js version are you using?
coral sigil
No problem
willow mirage
I thought the nodejs
coral sigil
So you need to set it like this in djs 13
client.user.setPresence({ activities: [{ type: "PLAYING", name: "Starting up" }] })
So the type is the type and name is the text
willow mirage
So the type is the type and name is the text
nope it is the same
coral sigil
That's true
spark flint
mine takes like 2 mins
coral sigil
And you can set the status too client.user.setPresence({ activities: [{ type: "PLAYING", name: "Starting up" }], status: "idle/online/invisible/dnd" })
coral sigil
Isn't it defaulted to online?
willow mirage
Doesn't work?
it doesn't
willow mirage
you sometimes have to wait for it to update
lemme CTRL + R
boreal iron
It think default is null which is invisible
boreal iron
But I’m not sure how djs13 handles that
willow mirage
well... nope
wheat mesa
Bots should be able to have an RPC change my mind
willow mirage
Give it time to change on discord
I did tho
coral sigil
I just set the name and type and the bot's status is online
boreal iron
I just set the name and type and the bot's status is online
Well then online is probably the default status
wheat mesa
Make sure not to change the status too fast, you’ll get ratelimited rather quickly
boreal iron
Max 5x in 20s I think
coral sigil
You shouldn't do anything fast with discord api :D
willow mirage
z test to change the status
you mean the offline and online?
boreal iron
If I remember right
coral sigil
And you can set the status too ```client.user.setPresence({ activities: [{ type:...
this
willow mirage
ok
coral sigil
change it to something else than online
willow mirage
change it to something else than online
nope
I changed to idle
but discord doesn't change
coral sigil
Could you show your code? Just to make sure there isn't anything wrong there...
boreal iron
Where did you use the code?
coral sigil
Because that code works on my end
boreal iron
Is the bot already logged in when you set the presence?
willow mirage
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const { WebhookClient } = require("discord.js");
const hook = new WebhookClient({token: process.env.WEBHOOK_TOKEN, id: process.env.WEBHOOK_ID});
module.exports = async (client) => {
try {
process.env.LOCAL ? null : client.user.setPresence({ activities: [{ type: "PLAYING", name: "Starting up" }], status: "idle" });
client.send = require('../../utils/functions/sendMessage');
client.error = require('../../utils/functions/error');
await mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO, {
useNewUrlParser: true,
useUnifiedTopology: true
})
await require('../../utils/cache/loadGuilds')(client);
if (!process.env.LOCAL) {
const embed = {
color: "WHITE",
description: `${client.user.tag} has been started`
}
await hook.send({embeds: [embed]});
client.setTimeout(() => {
client.user.setActivity(`@${client.user.username}`, { type: "WATCHING" });
client.state = true;
}, 5000);
}
console.log(`${client.user.username} is online - It took ${require("ms")((new Date() - client.startup), { long: true })}`);
if(process.env.LOCAL){
client.state = null;
}
} catch (e) {
return require("../../utils/functions/error")(e, undefined)
}
}
Where do you run this code from?
boreal iron
The embed says, bot has started and you’re calling the setPresence() method before already
Make sure it’s logged in and received the READY event
coral sigil
You could run the client.user.setPresence({ activities: [{ type: "PLAYING", name: "Starting up" }], status: "idle }) in the ready event just to make sure
willow mirage
the console.log("bot is ready") work
coral sigil
just to test
coral sigil
client.user.setPresence({ activities: [{ type: "PLAYING", name: "Starting up" }], status: "idle })
})```yes
willow mirage
but the ready event handler work normal
boreal iron
Also changing the presence two times in such a short frequency doesn’t make sense tho
coral sigil
yes, we are testing the code not the ready event
willow mirage
ok
coral sigil
The point is that you'll get the client that's ready from the ready event
coral sigil
Good!

willow mirage
but with client.on()...
coral sigil
but with `client.on()`...
What if you put that to your original ready event you had, which had the console log too
willow mirage
What if you put that to your original ready event you had, which had the console...
but they are the same thing
coral sigil
so you have a ready.js file right?
And there's your ready event? Where did you put that client.on you were talking about?
coral sigil
Yea okay. So the code I gave you doesn't work in your ready.js but works with client.on in the index.js?
willow mirage
yes
coral sigil
That's weird, could you send your event handler code?
coral sigil
Could you still send it?
willow mirage
ok
const { readdirSync } = require("fs") module.exports = async(client) => { try { const cmds = []; const cmd = []; await ['client', 'guild'].forEach(async a => await readdirSync('./events/'+a).map(b => cmds.push(b) && cmd.push(b))); const load = dirs => { const events = readdirSync(`./events/${dirs}/`).filter(d => d.endsWith('.js')); for (let file of events) { const evt = require(`../events/${dirs}/${file}`); let eName = file.split('.')[0]; client.on(eName, evt.bind(null, client)); if(!cmds.includes(eName+".js")){ console.log(`Missing ${eName+".js"}`) }else if(cmds.includes(eName+".js")){ cmd.splice(cmd.indexOf(eName+".js"), 1); } }; }; load('client'); load('guild'); let value = true; console.log('--- LOADING ALL EVENTS ---') cmds.forEach(a => { if(!cmd.includes(a)){ console.log(`${a.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + a.slice(1)}: ✅`) }else if(cmd.includes(a)){ console.log(`${a.slice(0, 1).toUpperCase() + a.slice(1)}: ❌`) value = false; } }) if(!value) console.log('--- FAILED TO LOAD EVENTS ---'); return value; } catch (e) { return require("../utils/functions/error")(e, undefined) } };
lol
wheat mesa
What on earth
coral sigil
That is true on pc too
coral sigil
Formatting it rn :S
earnest phoenix
```js
const { readdirSync } = require("fs") module.exports = async(client) => {...
better
boreal iron
It does yeah thought the same
coral sigil
Do you call this from the index.js?
willow mirage
yes
coral sigil
It is weird that this doesn't work...
coral sigil
Could it be that it is the wrong client, because you need to await this in the index.js
coral sigil
Yes and that is exactly the problem
willow mirage
cause everything work normal
coral sigil
Yea because the other events doesn't need the client to be ready
willow mirage
well it is a async function tho
coral sigil
And you dont shard so there's no problems elsewhere
Yes it is, and it might be the problem
coral sigil
Because you await this, this gets run before the client.login
coral sigil
And the correct client will never get passed into this
coral sigil
Yea because the other events dont need the client to be ready
or the code in them might i say
willow mirage
the handler?
coral sigil
or import the client here, but im not sure the importing will work
You cant pass the client as an argument to the event handler
wheat mesa
Reject CommonJS return to ES6
willow mirage
require('dotenv').config(); // Init .env file const { Client, Collection, Intents } = require('discord.js'); // Requires modules from d.js lib const client = new Client({ intents: [ Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_WEBHOOKS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGE_REACTIONS ], allowedMentions: { parse: ['users', 'roles'], repliedUser: true } }) // Init a Client for the bot // Init all caches informations client.guild = new Collection(); client.commands = new Collection(); client.parties = new Collection(); client.aliases = new Map(); client.categories = new Map(); client.categoryAliases = new Map(); client.limits = new Map(); client.startup = (new Date()).getTime(); client.state = null; (async () => { const commandsLoader = await require('./handlers/commands')(client); const eventsLoader = await require('./handlers/events')(client); const categoriesLoader = await require('./handlers/categories')(client); if(commandsLoader && eventsLoader && categoriesLoader){ console.log('--- LOGGING IN ---'); client.login(process.env.TOKEN).then(() => { console.log("--- LOGGED IN ---"); }) }else { return console.log('--- FAILED TO LOAD HANDLERS ---'); } })()
pls someone format it :>
this is the indexmjs
grim aspen
Oh boy I thought my phone fucked up formatting
willow mirage
i dunno
wheat mesa
Why... do you have your command aliases as a prop of your client...
willow mirage
where
wheat mesa
The world may never know
willow mirage
client.aliases?
earnest phoenix
```js
require('dotenv').config(); // Init .env file const { Client, Collection, ...
willow mirage
well it is like this const command = client.commands.get(name) || client.commands.get(client.aliases.get(name)) @wheat mesa
coral sigil
Oh no your other handlers are also awaited
coral sigil
Try to import the client first
willow mirage
nd then remove await
coral sigil
dont make big changes yet
coral sigil
Go to your pc and export the client from index and import it to your event handler. And don't give it as an argument to the event handler
Idk if it'll work tho
willow mirage
wdym with export
willow mirage
like
coral sigil
then import it in the event handler
coral sigil
You can do module.exports = {client} i think as well
willow mirage
yeah
coral sigil
just add module.exports = {client} at the end of index.js
willow mirage
or just call it after login?
coral sigil
But you can't do your if check then
willow mirage
what if check?
coral sigil
I dont think that its possible to register the event listeners after you login
willow mirage
hmm
willow mirage
me2
coral sigil
yea its the point
willow mirage
then why not call it after login? It is the same thing
coral sigil
and change const eventsLoader = await require("./handlers/events")(client);
to
const eventsLoader = await require("./handlers/events");
coral sigil
and then in event handler: module.exports = async (client) => {
to
willow mirage
then how u access client
coral sigil
module.exports = async () => {
you require the client in the event handler
const { client } = require('path_to_index.js')
willow mirage
wait so both file requires them self?
u need somehow call the event
after login or before login
before login then the export is undefined
coral sigil
the more sure way to getting it to work is not await the require in index.js
willow mirage
after login then u cant init a event
willow mirage
the more sure way to getting it to work is not await the require in index.js
yeah but then u have to use old syntax with 500+ lines
coral sigil
Why?
willow mirage
cause no async
coral sigil
You literally change the readdirsync to readdir
coral sigil
I think you only need to change those
Do you have your project public somewhere so I could test it
coral sigil
It is not public yet
willow mirage
huh
