development

[jolly notch]

Also web scrape websites

[proven escarp]

dont

[lyric mountain]

protocol will always either be http or https

[jolly notch]

Why not

[proven escarp]

bad

[jolly notch]

Reasons?

[marble juniper]

sounds like too much effort

[proven escarp]

i dont need reasons

[sly sierra]

Loom uses uhm his mind for reasons don’t mind h
I’m

He’s too smart for the universe

[jolly notch]

also check any domain for non english characters

[lyric mountain]

don't think u can have non-english characters on domains

or can u?

[marble juniper]

well

they could use unicode

[proven escarp]

no you cant

[marble juniper]

well you can't click the link

[jolly notch]

you can have emojis too

[marble juniper]

but someone could still search for it

without the unicode

lol

thats assuming someone would even go that far to bypass a filter

[lyric mountain]

such url would sabotage itself actually

[jolly notch]

It's quite easy and probs cheaper

[marble juniper]

don't think my regex could even match the unicode

lol

[lyric mountain]

u can if u use codepoints

[jolly notch]

https://www.w3.org/International/articles/idn-and-iri/

[marble juniper]

I will just convert the string before running the regex on it

[lyric mountain]

like, [a-Z] doesn't match letters from a to Z, it checks if the codepoint is between those two

emotes have an specific codepoint range

so u could match from the start to the end

[jolly notch]

@marble juniper straight up block any non english domain

then make it an option to disable

[marble juniper]

opt in or opt out

lol

[jolly notch]

Well it makes sense

If you are a chinese server and need it then disable it

[marble juniper]

how do I detect if its not english

do I have to use some lang detection tool

[jolly notch]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1911902/check-string-whether-it-contains-only-latin-characters

[lyric mountain]

u could grab the site's metadata

[jolly notch]

it's the url itself rather than what the site has

[lyric mountain]

devs who care abt their sites will put enough metadata on the head

like language, author, og:tag shit, etc

[marble juniper]

and do what with that

[lyric mountain]

check the site's authenticity

scammers wont be that detailed

[marble juniper]

how do I check how much authenticity it has though

how do I measure that lol

also what if ur a development focused server

and someone shares their wip website

lol

[lyric mountain]

I mean, make it a multi-step verification

first check metadata, then url, then something else

that way u reduce possible false-positives

about WHAT to check in metadata idk, there is probably some standard or convention regarding what u need to put on a site

[marble juniper]

I would probably check the url first

lol

and even then if I checked metadata

my bot is open source

you gotta remember that

anyone can see how I filter messages lol

[lyric mountain]

don't think they'd bother enough tho

you're superestimating scammers

[wicked pivot]

""

?

[lyric mountain]

tf a sweater

[wicked pivot]

I don't really understand

[earnest phoenix]

you said you wanna make a sweater

you wanna make this?

[wicked pivot]

ow, xDDDD google translate

I'm very bad at English sorry

[jolly notch]

Check url, web scrape it and find any malicious text

Click on some of those steam scams and etc

Take the content of that and try and filter against that

[feral aspen]

Hey.

.. so I did sudo apt upgrade and this came.

[boreal iron]

Yeah Ubuntu firmware update 21+

Go with the selected one

[feral aspen]

500mb used, bruh.

What does this command, do? curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_11.x | sudo -E bash -

[proven lantern]

probably installs node version 11

i wouldn't do it

dont use odd numbers

[feral aspen]

I did setup_17.

[boreal iron]

Downloads and installs nodejs 11 via bash not the package manager

While v11 is a little bit outdated

[feral aspen]

It keeps crashing.

[boreal iron]

That’s not nodejs fault

[feral aspen]

I see.

I can't access the files from a VPS?

[wheat mesa]

?

Nodejs processes crash on unhandled promise rejections now

[boreal iron]

Obviously the JSON file is corrupted

[solemn latch]

op

[boreal iron]

Oh lol that’s what he’s wondering about

[quartz kindle]

you're trying to access json data from a website

but the website is returning html data, not json

[woeful pike]

corrupted json file

[solemn latch]

its pretty corrupted considering its the wrong file type

[proven lantern]

json was a pretty good idea

[shy turret]

how do you get motivation?

yes this is a development question

[spark flint]

look at others creations

then set a determination to build something better

[shy turret]

i have

but

i still have no motivation, im just forcing myself.

or well, i dont know how to get motivation on what i already created.

[solemn latch]

Like updating/improving stuff you have made?

[shy turret]

thanks, ill try

[quartz kindle]

404 Motivation Not Found

[gritty bolt]

anyone know if there's a way to fire an action upon my account being followed on tiktok?

[woeful pike]

you probably have to monitor your follower count regularly and check for changes

[gritty bolt]

ooh that's actually not a bad idea, my idea would work better if I could get the username of a person when they follow, but I might be able to do without

[quartz kindle]

they have webhooks, but i didnt see anything related to follows

[gritty bolt]

yeah I've been looking online for a while and haven't gotten far

[woeful pike]

tiktok doesn't really want you using its data from what I remember

[gritty bolt]

well that's unfortunate

[spark flint]

how do i download a file from a buffer in node.js

@drowsy crag

[quartz kindle]

wdym download from a buffer

a buffer is already downloaded

[woeful pike]

I thought you pinged nom for programming help for a second

[spark flint]

ignore the ping btw, thats for a nitrob scam

lmao

[spark flint]

i mean i'm trying to get a file from a post request and save to a folder

[quartz kindle]

if you have the buffer, literally just write the buffer using fs

if you have a stream, then you have to read it first, or you can also stream it directly to a file, also using fs

[woeful pike]

are you on js? if you're getting files from a post request chances are they're already being written to disk unless you're specifically choosing the in-memory option

[lament rock]

does the built in http lib write to disk?

[woeful pike]

I have gone through every single js multipart form parsing library in this god forsaken earth. The only one that doesn't automatically try to write files to disk is multer and you have to specifically tell it not to do that

[quartz kindle]

dafuq

[woeful pike]

the built in lib doesn't parse attachments in multipart forms

[quartz kindle]

where do they write to disk? http libs give you a stream, up to you what you do with it

most libs give you an option to download it in various formats

[woeful pike]

which http lib does that aside from multer?

[quartz kindle]

multer is not an http lib, its just a stream parsing library for multipart formdata

[woeful pike]

well I'm assuming they're using express

[quartz kindle]

im assuming they are making a get request

not running a server

[woeful pike]

says post request here

[spark flint]

yep

[spark flint]

and yep

i got it working now

[tidal smelt]

EEE

[woeful pike]

how did you end up solving it?

[quartz kindle]

ah well, in express almost everything is automated

my bad then

[woeful pike]

micro (nextjs) doesn't have anything for parsing multipart forms so I had to plug in multer in the most disgusting way possible

[spark flint]

let uploadfile = req.files.file;
const imgid = makeid(8)

uploadfile.mv('./static/' + `${imgid}.png`);

res.send({"url":`url to the site /${imgid}`});```

[quartz kindle]

i dont like multer, idk

[woeful pike]

yeah it sucks. The js ecosystem is just terrible I hate it

like it's convenient but.. yeah

not when you need control of stuff

[quartz kindle]

i got used to working with tcp streams directly

they can be quite fun

[lament rock]

possible that ClientApplication is null

might want to log

idk then. Everything should be a-o-good in the ready event

[earnest phoenix]

wait an hour

you are loading global commands

you aren't loading guild specific commands so you have to wait an hour

if you don't wanna wait just load em specific to a guild

how you do that no idea

mhm

djs right?

if so

https://discordjs.guide/interactions/registering-slash-commands.html#guild-commands this is one method ig

idk if there is another

this one uses rest directly

[lament rock]

GuildApplicationCommandManager exists

[earnest phoenix]

mmm that works then ig

imagine loading all commands for every guild that bot is in instantly

i'd guess it has part of it being that it would spam it too much trying to do that

could be other reasons tho

[boreal iron]

No because the server (guild) backend doesn’t query the database each second to figure out if you have registered a command or not

So anything is cached and has its own refresh time

Guilds are requesting global command once each hour

[earnest phoenix]

Ah I see

[boreal iron]

Some things are always cached, some need to be pushed just in time

[earnest phoenix]

I thought it had an issue with spamming the api to register the commands

[boreal iron]

No you register them in Discords backend and frequently any guilds ask the backend if there’s something new they should know

To say it simplyfied

And yeah I also believe this prevents spam registering and deleting commands, too

[mental river]

Help

I need my top.gg bot token like now

For my vote reward

[solemn latch]

you cannot get a token before approval

[mental river]

Bruh

How can I dev something to get approval if I can't dev?

Tel me

[sudden geyser]

You don't need vote rewards to get approved.

How about disabling it until your bot is approved?

[rocky hearth]

Is this bad the way i hv called the hooks?

[woeful pike]

not as bad as the way you decided to show your code

[rocky hearth]

Sorry, i am on my mobile.

I hv been warned that react hooks should not be called conditionally. So what should I do?

[earnest phoenix]

mmm blur

[woeful pike]

if you need user to be non-nullable you should be accepting it as a prop instead of rendering an empty component

rendering a null component is the wrong choice 99.9% of the time. You should instead use that data in a parent component to decide whether you should render anything at all

[rocky hearth]

Ok. 👍

[loud tree]

b = int(input("Enter second Number: "))
List = []
list = []
for i in range(1, a+1):
  if a % 10 == 0 or b % 10 == 0:
    print("Invalid Input")
    break
  elif a % i == 0:
    List.append(i)
    
  for k in range(1, b+1):
    if b % k == 0:
      list.append(k)
sum1 = sum(List)//a
sum2 = sum(list)//b

if sum1 == sum2:
  print("Friendly")
  
else:
  print("Not Friendly")```

idk whats happening

it always shows Not Friendly

[ripe prairie]

so sum1 never equals sum2

try printing sum1 and sum2 before py if sum1 == sum2:

see what the values are

[loud tree]

lemme show you an exmaple

For example, numbers 6 and 28 are friendly as the abundancy of 6 = (1+2+3+6) / 6 = 2, is same as abdunancy of 28 = (1+2+4+7+14+28) / 28 = 2.

[ripe prairie]

also

why is one of your for loops inside another for loop

that's probably your issue

[loud tree]

coz Whole numbers are not allowed

[earnest phoenix]

looping inside a loop oof

[ripe prairie]

yeah you're looping inside a loop

[loud tree]

nested loops?

[ripe prairie]

that's a problem because you're running the second loop more than once

which i dont think is what you meant to do

[loud tree]

should'nt i use them

[earnest phoenix]

looping inside a loop is just slow and useless imo

[ripe prairie]

well that's not the point here

[loud tree]

bruh i am learning rn, for me solving is first

[earnest phoenix]

I don't exactly know whats going on I just saw a loop inside a loop

[ripe prairie]

not very helpful then

[loud tree]

ok wait lemme modify

b = int(input("Enter second Number: "))
List = []
list = []
for i in range(1, a+1):
  if a % i == 0:
    List.append(i)
    
for k in range(1, b+1):
  if b % k == 0:
    list.append(k)
sum1 = sum(List)//a
sum2 = sum(list)//b

if sum1 == sum2:
  print("Friendly")
  
else:
  print("Not Friendly")```

now?

[ripe prairie]

well try it

see if it works

[loud tree]

ya it's working

but i also want that if anyone inputs a whole number it should so INVALID INPUT

any ideas for doing so?

[ripe prairie]

if you're using an int, it'll always be a whole number

[loud tree]

F

i forgot lmao

[ripe prairie]

you're probably looking for float

which supports decimals

[loud tree]

ya

i'll float

[earnest phoenix]

you'll float too

ok I go now

[slender thistle]

Has been like that for weeks if not months...

[loud tree]

bruh no one asked you

[earnest phoenix]

ye shiv no one asked u

[loud tree]

if you have such a great PROBLEM with my questions ask mod to ban me :)

[earnest phoenix]

eh?

[earnest phoenix]

you can't really get banned based on a question

unless it breaks one of the rules ig

[loud tree]

ya but he gets offended always so i said

ok nvm no more discussions

[cold meteor]

Oh this is where everyone is

[earnest phoenix]

just a few people

[ripe prairie]

all of you gotta stop with the random ass underhand comments

especially you @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

what?

[slender thistle]

I should probably divide my large exponents into lots of smaller ones and multithread them to speed up my program

The question is, how many threads should I limit myself to?

[ripe prairie]

Probably would be an algorithm to sort that out

Possibly?

[slender thistle]

I guess so. Wonder what algorithm can help me out for that though

[sudden geyser]

Exponents as in math, or something else?

[slender thistle]

Mhm, math

[ripe prairie]

looking around, dont really think there is one

especially not one to include multithreading

[slender thistle]

rip

[ripe prairie]

i mean there's algorithms for fast exponential computation but at that point, you'd slow it down trying to split the exponent apart and divide it between threads i think

[slender thistle]

Not really sure myself

I guess I'll worry about it when I actually have time for it

Time to use Wolfram

[clear marlin]

depends on how you'd implement coroutines. What language are you using?

[slender thistle]

I'll give you 2 tries to guess

😛

[clear marlin]

and where, ofc.

[ripe prairie]

pythong

[slender thistle]

Almighty Rust

[unique shore]

hey everyone, anyone has recommendations for discord api libraries for javascript? I use discordjs but I've heard is not the best when it comes to performance

[clear marlin]

if there's something like a job that needs to be done every interval imho that's where you'd use coroutines

[slender thistle]

Eris and Detritus

[slender thistle]

It's a hard pass I think

[clear marlin]

i mean implementing threading in rust isn't hard

if you ask me

[slender thistle]

It really isn't, it's just that I'm a lazy motherfucker right now

[clear marlin]

but just in mind, only use threading for a job you'd do after the main thread, cause the main thread would always run first.

[clear marlin]

LMAO

same tbf

[slender thistle]

I mean if my threads rely on, say, p and q, which I pass to a function

I don't think I'm spamming threads first

[clear marlin]

ofc not.

[unique shore]

ty I'll take a look

[slender thistle]

I'm wondering how that's possible though

I mean, running additional threads before the main one

[clear marlin]

idk if you can do that

[slender thistle]

Same lol

[clear marlin]

all i know is that you can pass values between threads which is useful

[slender thistle]

My multithreading in few words: "Arc clones and fuck you!"

[delicate shore]

How to show people a warning thingy if the extension isn't latest version

chrome extension ^

[slender thistle]

Maybe I should work with references a bit more in those cases

[plucky harness]

May i know why are some bots with wayy lower votes showing above other bots with higher votes.

[delicate zephyr]

probably not posting / posted count with dev bot

[woeful pike]

because search does more than just order by votes

otherwise there wouldn't be any point to having a search feature at all

[green kestrel]

anyone mind reading through a page I wrote to explain a complicated library thing?
https://dpp.dev/lambdas-and-locals.html

I wrote it informally to try an explain a quite abstract issue

[plucky harness]

what else does it do. Why are others anime bots lower than some even though all belong to same tag

Even though they have more votes

[woeful pike]

relevance of content, tags, etc. I couldn't tell you because I don't work on search so I don't know

[plucky harness]

i understand. But i don't understand why would that make you place lower. And if relevance of content was indeed a thing why are some bots with anime names and moderation features in top lists

If all it should also be sorted according to ratings and votes. I don't know what kind of wierd algorithm is being used but i can definitely say it's not effective at all and it's way worse than the old design. Its really flawed. You're saying that it depends on the relevance of content. Thats subjective. Lets say it isnt. How are you judging the content other than the ratings of the bot. No way you're just jugding the content of the bot by the name.

bots with

Less Votes and less than 4.2 ratings are listed above the ones with More votes and 4.8+ ratings. Thats a really flawed algorithm there

Relevance of content. Hmm, Bots with tags like moderation and Music are being listed on anime. Thats the relevance of content

a 10k vote bot is placed above 33k vote bot

Same thing with auctions feature which i reported in the other channels. Oh well. All i want to do is convey the things to the person who's responsible for the search. And get the right answers or get things fixed

[earnest phoenix]

man writing an entire essay just to have their bot on top of search

[plucky harness]

I dont need my bot on top. I buy auctions for that. I just dont understand the algorithm which places the bots wierdly.

Earlier in this new design , There wasn't even any sorting done in the search. Now its being done but not accurately and if its done accurately i need answers on why bots with lower ratings + lower votes are placed above bots with higher ratings + higher votes so i can improve.

[woeful pike]

were still growing and there will eventually be a team responsible for dealing with search alone

since it's not an easy problem to tackle

there needs to be some kind of heavy handed approach for the time being. People were just as mad about only sorting by votes

[solemn latch]

no matter how search is handled someone will be unhappy.

[plucky harness]

Thank you for answering. All i want is to get the word across to the actual people who work on search. Also, i think people would be more mad if some bot with lower votes + lower ratings being above them.

Thats my question how is it handled atm.

[woeful pike]

relevance is an important metric but also difficult to get right. It's a small factor for now so votes are still the big one, it just doesn't account for 100%

[earnest phoenix]

why not use something like algolia

[woeful pike]

because algolia is unfathomably expensive

I don't understand how any company has the budget to pay for it

[quartz kindle]

use google's search widget :^)

[earnest phoenix]

I don't understand how any company has enough fucks to give accessibe one and their money to make their site less accessible

[woeful pike]

what

[quartz kindle]

^

[woeful pike]

oh that's a saas company for accessibility

[earnest phoenix]

accessibe is a website that claims to make your site more accessible but it actually makes it worse

[woeful pike]

missing some context there

[earnest phoenix]

*sus company

[quartz kindle]

accessibe without L?

thats their name?

[woeful pike]

seems like some cringe enterprise wordpress B2B company

[earnest phoenix]

L

[quartz kindle]

the kind of company that makes money by tricking businesses into thinking they need them

[woeful pike]

lol

[quartz kindle]

because business heads are stupid

[earnest phoenix]

top.gg allows your bot to gain more servers

[quartz kindle]

99% of bots are not businesses tho xd

[plucky harness]

If votes based sorting are no longer a thing and some unknown metrics are used for search. What should one aim for to reach upper spots

[earnest phoenix]

auctions

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[plucky harness]

auctions are temporary ( a week)

i mean what should one aim for to reach upper search level spots

[spark flint]

don't really work

[plucky harness]

if no of votes and 4 .8 + ratings are no longer a big factor

[earnest phoenix]

how to get better seo:

1. don't use <div class="button"> use a fucking <button>
2. accessibility
3. ads
4. don't use <div class="button"> use a fucking <button>
5. accessibility

[quartz kindle]

well, keyword searching should always be based on title+description revelance, heavily weighted by title
other than that theres not much factors you can use besides like top by votes, or top by invites, if top.gg tracks invite clicks

[woeful pike]

dunno, probably can't reveal that either way

add relevant keywords in your description to pop up in search results

[quartz kindle]

you could also have a "surprise me" option with randomized bots

[woeful pike]

that sounds fun but I doubt anyone would use it

AAHH ok it's weekend I'm done talking work

[tired panther]

Nice idea

[earnest phoenix]

when the source of income for the website is broken

[plucky harness]

you could also ( if possible ) if votes are being done through same ips

[spark flint]

[plucky harness]

you could lower that bots position

[spark flint]

[earnest phoenix]

doesn't it return the message?

const message = await interaction.reply();

idk I haven't used djs since I acquired brain cells

[quartz kindle]

xD

[plucky harness]

btw auctions are also fuc*ed up in this new design

[quartz kindle]

everything is fucked up robin

[earnest phoenix]

BETRAYAL

[plucky harness]

haha

[quartz kindle]

its always been like that

:^)

[quartz kindle]

top.gg smol website

[plucky harness]

140$ went in trash

[spark flint]

christ mine wasn;t that bad

[plucky harness]

it was 240$ actually

[spark flint]

mine was like $10 and i got 64 views

[quartz kindle]

i never paid for ads

[plucky harness]

240$ ad for ( 1 click ) epicness

[quartz kindle]

i got it free for being certified

[spark flint]

its sad that i only got a refund because i contacted the bank

[earnest phoenix]

same and h bot reached 75 servers in a month

[quartz kindle]

^:)

[plucky harness]

[earnest phoenix]

can I buy your account pwease 🥺

[quartz kindle]

nu

[earnest phoenix]

whyyyyyy

[tired panther]

Lol

[spark flint]

consumer laws in the uk state that a company must refund within 14 days of me contacting them, if i contacted within 14 days of purchase

its complicated but they have to follow it

[quartz kindle]

isnt top.gg based on netherlands?

[earnest phoenix]

you can lawsuit a website for not having accessibility

[plucky harness]

i also want refund on my 240$ which i got 1 click on

[tired panther]

Their Head Company is...

[spark flint]

if they don't respond then try the bank 😉

[earnest phoenix]

my favorite lawsuit is accessibility lawsuit

[earnest phoenix]

dumbcord

[plucky harness]

ty

[spark flint]

also it shouldn't take nearly 15 days just to tell me that they are looking into it

[plucky harness]

i havent gotten a reply in 2 weeks now

[quartz kindle]

this convo made me search for stupid lawsuits.. was not disappointed

Inmate Sues State for His Flatulence/Gas
Unfortunately, silly lawsuits are overwhelming many state and federal courts. Consider Case No. 9650302 in Michigan where the prisoner sued the State of Michigan stating that the food in prison was causing his flatulence problem.

[plucky harness]

probably will have to refund through bank

or paypal

[spark flint]

yeah

[tired panther]

They can automate the refund system

[spark flint]

they should

[plucky harness]

i'll dm u

[spark flint]

can't wait to be warned for exposing their shit refund process

[quartz kindle]

did you try to await it?

this means it does return a message, but in some cases a raw message or nothing

for example, ephemeral messages might not return a message, since well, they are not visible except to the command user

so await it and check what it returns

[earnest phoenix]

Will discord.py forks be compatible with the top.gg api? If so, when?

[slow terrace]

const Topgg = require("@top-gg/sdk")
const express = require("express")

const app = express()

const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook("your webhook auth")

app.post("/dblwebhook", webhook.listener(vote => {
  // vote will be your vote object, e.g
  console.log(vote.user) // 395526710101278721 < user who voted\

  // You can also throw an error to the listener callback in order to resend the webhook after a few seconds
}))

app.listen(80)

How to use it from heroku webhook?

[spark flint]

See messages from Norizon the other day in #topgg-api

[earnest phoenix]

Okay

Ty!

[earnest phoenix]

step 1: don't use heroku

[spark flint]

Lol

[split hazel]

this is why i dont like these automatic webhook poster libraries

they assume you have a compatible environment

[earnest phoenix]

I have win7

[spark flint]

i have win69

[earnest phoenix]

if you can support internet explorer why not support win7

or use win7 to write apps that support win7/IE

[sudden geyser]

Because your site probably sucks

[earnest phoenix]

I chose the second one

[sudden geyser]

if you support IE

[brazen jackal]

how do i listen for the webhook in my discord bot?

[earnest phoenix]

unless you are a piece of shit and don't care about people with disabilities try googling this

[sudden geyser]

You can support people with disabilities while not supporting archaic software.

Discord.js v12 btw

Is there anything wrong with that?

[rotund gorge]

I think you should get v13

[earnest phoenix]

I don't like djs v13 lol, So I will stick with what I know. Thanks tho.

[rotund gorge]

v12 is deprecated I don't think people would help you

[earnest phoenix]

Its worth a shot. :)

[rotund gorge]

💀

[slow terrace]

Step 2: it’s free

[slender thistle]

Free != Decent

[crystal wigeon]

is there a way i can clone the djs interaction or message object?

[sudden geyser]

Like this? https://stackoverflow.com/a/44782052/14695788

[spark flint]

@woeful pike does the /bots?search=Luca api endpoint still work?

changing the search bit or removing entirely doesn't change the results

[slender thistle]

The better question would be

Actually, no, I don't think it applies anymore

[crystal wigeon]

MessageEmbed.attachFiles is no longer a thing on DJS?? wtf?

[orchid fox]

How to make this code

[lament rock]

You need to add attachments to the message create payload and then use attachment://filename.ext which you define in the attachments array in the field you want it in

[crystal wigeon]

I've been using messageembed.attachfiles all along and this worked fine, but upgraded to djs 13 and the entire thing is fked

man

[orchid fox]

Umm

[quartz kindle]

major versions change many things, it was always like that

v11 to v12 also broke tons of shit

[crystal wigeon]

understandable but mannnnn

[quartz kindle]

its all explained in the update guide docs

[crystal wigeon]

migrating to slash commands is already discouraging to me

ye just saw

[quartz kindle]

well slash commands are not even djs's fault, its discord itself lul

but yes, everyone feels the same way about them

[crystal wigeon]

ye i mean. if i dont have to use slash commands. i dont have to update djs to 13. im happy with 12.5,

plus slash commands are gonna be pain for mobile users

[cinder patio]

you will have to

message intent

[lament rock]

v12 uses api v8 and v13 uses api v9

v8 will be deprecated

surprised v6 is still functional

[quartz kindle]

v8 and v9 were released quite fast

v6 was standard for several years, v8 wasnt even standard for a full year

and v7 was never standard

for it kinda makes sense they decided to keep v6 around for a while

v6 = windows xp
v7 = windows xp black edition
v8 = windows vista
v9 = windows 7

[orchid fox]

Brb

[earnest phoenix]

Has "guild.region" discord.js v13 been removed as well?

[lament rock]

Hope v10 won't be the Windows 8 of Discord

[earnest phoenix]

Nice joke

[lament rock]

yes since v9 either does not or will not have that data be there since region is a vc property

[earnest phoenix]

Okay thanks

[earnest phoenix]

can I do something like this?

//IN A BLANK FILE
let objectt = {
"name": {name:"HI", level: "10"}
....
...
..
.
}```
```js
//IN MY CODE
const { objectt } = require("../file.js")
let newobject = objectt

my question is can I store objects and then reuse it in other codes?

because I have a object that occupies like 200 lines of code and it has left more things so I don't like to have a 1000 lines file and then add another 200 lines

[lament rock]

Yes you can. You can even Object.assign(object, newValues) to the file that only exports an Object and that'll appear in other files.

That way is a super easy way to store db connections or your client

This is what I do in my bots

https://github.com/AmandaDiscord/Amanda/blob/main/passthrough.js

[earnest phoenix]

ok

i understood a bit

how does that work in js

[quartz kindle]

keep in mind that objects are passed by reference and not by copy, meaning if you copy the object to another variable, then make changes to it, the changes will also affect the original object

[earnest phoenix]

so if I don't need to change the object in my code it's fine to do it like I showed before?

I just need to change the original object

but how do I store it in another file? json?

[quartz kindle]

yes as long as you dont change it, you can simply assign it

wdym other file?

if you mean at runtime, you just require it

[earnest phoenix]

ik

but i need to define the object, no?

where do i define it

to require it later

[quartz kindle]

the file that has the object has to export it

then in all other files, you just require that file

[earnest phoenix]

it gives me error when i define it in a blank file, there is a method or something?

[quartz kindle]

wdym? example?

anyway i have to go, someone else will surely be able to help

[earnest phoenix]

ok

thx tim

[lament rock]

Go ahead and show code where you export and require it

[earnest phoenix]

now somehow works

[lament rock]

that's the scariest part of development

[earnest phoenix]

the errors maybe were replit's code intelligent thing bug

or i put something badly and somehow it fixed

now i'm saving 300 lines of code in every commands

[lament rock]

proud of u

[earnest phoenix]

:')

[earnest phoenix]

@lament rock nah

now it's undefined

and where it works, I can't console.log it

idk why

I did this:

let { chh } = require("../../object.js")

where it works i used this:

console.log("HI",Object.values(chh))
``` the console log has all this because only chh doesn't work, then i used object.values and doesn't work and now with a string is same

nothing appears in the console

and in other commands it's undefined when i console log it

[quartz kindle]

show object.js

[earnest phoenix]

Are you exporting chh?

If you are not exporting chh then chh can't be destructured iirc

[quartz kindle]

show how you export it

[earnest phoenix]

I am curious if they are exporting at all if it shows undefined no?

[earnest phoenix]

thats not exporting

Show how you export chh in object.js

?

[earnest phoenix]

this is object.js

Alright so ima guess you aren't exporting at all if you don't know what we are saying

i only have the object there

When you are going to destructure something from a file

you have to export it

module.exports = { chh }

oh

i seen that many times but i don't know to use it completely so that's how I export it

that is a basic way of exporting something yes

my english sucks

its fine

ok

that is half of top.gg

[quartz kindle]

you can only use require on stuff that you export

if its not exported, then require will not find it

[earnest phoenix]

ah ye that as well

Unless you are requiring the whole file that is and not trying to get a specific thing right?

I haven't used js in ages so I am unsure anymore

but you can just do

let numbers = require('numbers.js')

number.variableInNumbersjs

and access that variable in the file right?

[quartz kindle]

nope

numbers.js has to export something

the default exported value is an empty object

so if numbers.js doesnt export anything, numbers will be {} and numbers.variable will be undefined

[earnest phoenix]

Ah I see

I thought you could access variables if you just require the whole file

[marble juniper]

does someone know how I can prevent someone from bypassing my regex filter by doing this:
s c a m . d o m a i n

using javascript

like im trying to scan discord messages for such domains and stuff

I thought about removing any spaces from the message but then links that are in the message could become invalid if you know what I mean

[earnest phoenix]

can't you just also include ignoring whitespaces?

[earnest phoenix]

Mmm, that is true actually.

Ignoring whitespaces would only work ig if they only send a link

[marble juniper]

ignoring whitespaces would only work if they only send a link or the link is at the end of the message

[earnest phoenix]

yea

[marble juniper]

but if its anywhere in the message outside of that it would become invalid

[earnest phoenix]

Yep, hm

[marble juniper]

berry has something like this in censorbot but for me its more difficult to implement

since im not just looking for words

lol

[earnest phoenix]

yea, I myself am kind of unsure how to do it for any case

[marble juniper]

because rn I can detect domains or links and I can also convert unicode to normal already

would suck if I couldn't detect links because of someone just using spaces

[green kestrel]

lol wut github

fell off a cliff.

cant even push to repos atm

[sudden geyser]

github breaks quite often

[green kestrel]

yeh

more so since it all got moved to azure

they should call it gitgudscrubhub.com

[sudden geyser]

more so since it all got moved to azure
they actually did it?

never thought they would

[green kestrel]

yes

actions, sites, and the frontend are on azure linux boxes

[proven lantern]

who broke github

im trying to do things

[green kestrel]

me sorry

i'll plug it back in

[proven lantern]

thanks

[green kestrel]

i tripped my fat legs over the power cord

https://www.githubstatus.com/

its dead jim

[sudden geyser]

damn I need github now

[green kestrel]

everything but gh pages

at least dpp.dev still up lol

[proven lantern]

my push was like 1ms too late

12:45:14.317

[split hazel]

yeah dont think this is gonna push anytime soon

decode?

[sudden geyser]

decipher probably

[zealous veldt]

Anyone know if there is an easy way to make VSCode not destructure autoimports? ie instead of autocreating pic 2 from the 1st pic, create pic 3?

[opaque acorn]

how can I get my bot to reject commands if they are sent by dm?

[boreal iron]

check if the channel is a DM

[opaque acorn]

that is the thing

[boreal iron]

[opaque acorn]

thx

[boreal iron]

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Channel?scrollTo=type

[lament rock]

TypeScript is epic:

export default exports as typeof import("./currentFileName");

no more issues about a mod not having a default export

[green kestrel]

so github have found the issue, it's a one line fix.
problem is they have to wait for github to be back up to merge the PR.

[opaque acorn]

if(message.channel.type = "DM") return;

ya but with the correct operator

I know what is this dm me 👀

Don’t know basics to use computer lol

[pale vessel]

...hear?

[earnest phoenix]

let channel = db.fetch(`setuped_${message.guild.id}`, channel.id);

     db.subtract(`setuped_${message.guild.id}`, channel.id);
    message.reply(`Reports channel deleted from the Database. `)
        }}

Error:
```let channel = db.fetch(setuped_${message.guild.id}, channel.id);
^

ReferenceError: Cannot access 'channel' before initialization```

I also tried this:

     db.delete(`setuped_${message.guild.id}`);
    message.reply(`Reports channel deleted from the Database. `)
        }}

Then it did reply and said that it was deleted, but didn't delete from quick.db's db

[pale vessel]

you accessed channel in one of the parameters but it wasn't declared

[earnest phoenix]

How might I delete it tho?

Just all of it from the DB

[pale vessel]

channel.id what do you think channel is?

it must be declared before let channel =

[earnest phoenix]

How would I fetch what the current channel is set to?

[pale vessel]

But you're also declaring a new variable called the same thing

[earnest phoenix]

mhm

Confusion o-o

[quartz kindle]

this code makes absolutely no sense

fetch does not have 2 parameters, its only one, the key you want to fetch

you cant subtract an id, its not supposed to be used as a number

subtract is for math only

[earnest phoenix]

Well, I want it to delete it from the db

So db.delete would be better

[quartz kindle]

yes, delete is correct

[earnest phoenix]

but idk how to fetch channel and define it.

[quartz kindle]

fetch only takes 1 parameter

[earnest phoenix]

So just a wee confused there lol

[earnest phoenix]

Ah

[earnest phoenix]

Is there a way that I can do something like:

.snippet add <command_name> <command_description> and have it save in quick.db?

db.add(`snippets_${message.guild.id}`, `${command_name}_${command_description}`)?

Is there something as such or close to that?

[quartz kindle]

depends what you want to do with it

do you only want to save the name and description?

like just that piece of text?

nothing else?

can one guild only have one snippet?

or can it have multiple?

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah, so when a user uses:

for example. .snippet <command_name> it comes out with <command_description>

[earnest phoenix]

Multiple.

[quartz kindle]

will you need to list available snippets in a guild?

[earnest phoenix]

Just got back to coding after a straight year of not, so getting back used to it.

[earnest phoenix]

Most likely yeah

[quartz kindle]

so best use an array

pretty sure quick.db supports them

or an object might be better

let me check if quick.db supports what im thinking

[earnest phoenix]

db.add('snippets.${message.guild.id}', '${snippet_output}')```?

[quartz kindle]

add is for math

[earnest phoenix]

o-o

[quartz kindle]

its the opposite of subtract

use set and get for other types of data

[earnest phoenix]

wouldn't set replace the already there snippet?

[quartz kindle]

from what i undestand, quick.db should support this

db.set(`snippets.${message.guild.id}.${snippetName}`, snippetDescription);

const description = db.get(`snippets.${message.guild.id}.${snippetName}`);
const allSnippets = db.get(`snippets.${message.guild.id}`);

[earnest phoenix]

Oh sweet, will go try it now, thats awesome, thanks! I will get back to you in like 30 mins "ish"

would the "allSnippets", contain the command name and description?

[quartz kindle]

yes, all of them

[earnest phoenix]

No error on the logs or anything, just "[object Object]"

[quartz kindle]

you tried to send an object as a string

objects need to be serialized

[earnest phoenix]

db.set(`snippets.${message.guild.id}.${snippetName}`, snippetDescription);

message.reply(`Snippet ${snippetName} added!`)



const description = db.get(`snippets.${message.guild.id}.${snippetName}`);
const allSnippets = db.get(`snippets.${message.guild.id}`);

const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
.setDescription(`All of ${message.guild.id}'s Snippets\n> - ${allSnippets}`)
message.reply({ embeds: [embed] })
  }
}```

[quartz kindle]

JSON.stringify(allSnippets)

[earnest phoenix]

[earnest phoenix]

That's what needs to go in ${}?

[quartz kindle]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

It works!

How might I spiff that up a bit tho?

Cause I would eventually want to fetch 1 of them, like

.snippet THIS sends in a embed: IS A TESTING COMMAND

or well

[earnest phoenix]

.snippet <command_name> returns <command_description lmfao, I am bad at explaining things.

[earnest phoenix]

Ah.

So that "description", just to clarify, when I use it in the command .snippet <command_name> will return the description of the snippet too?

[quartz kindle]

in my example, the description line shows how to get a single command description with a command name
the allSnippets line shows how yo get all commands and their descriptions with only a guild id

[earnest phoenix]

Ayo, your awesome!

That fr did help, and I learned something new lmfao

[quartz kindle]

you dont need to have both lines at once, just use the line that is appropriate for each command

did you log it?

[earnest phoenix]

Wym by both lines at once?

[quartz kindle]

did you await it?

is it ephemeral?

show code

try adding fetchReply: true

.reply({ embeds: [embed], fetchReply: true })

[fresh bluff]

why is my bot not counting my XP

is this a code error?

[solemn latch]

probably best to check the database, or code you wrote to save xp to the database

[fresh bluff]

Can i show you my code?

sure, but I may not be able to help. someone else may be able to

there

but i have 2 files for XP levels

[solemn latch]

this doesnt appear to be the xp saving code, which is probably the thing you want

[fresh bluff]

class Util {
  static getLevel(xp, extra = true) {
  let level = 1;
    
    //WHILE LOOP
    while(xp >= Util.getLevelxp(level)) {

      level++
    }
    if(extra) return [level, xp];
    else return level;
    }

  
  static getLevelxp(level) {
    return 5 * Math.pow(level, 2) + 50 * level + 100;
  }
  
  static getInfo(exp) {
    let [level, remxp] = Util.getLevel(exp, true);
    let levelxp = Util.getLevelxp(level);

    db.add(`xp_${message.author.id}_${message.guild.id}`, toadd)
  }
}

module.exports = Util;

file 2

I don't understand why its not showing the XP

[solemn latch]

are you calling addexp?

[fresh bluff]

Ok I think i forgot that where would i add that i forgot

@solemn latch Would I do let addexp =

[solemn latch]

nope, in the location you are exporting util youd call addexp as a function

[fresh bluff]

So im confused where do i put it

[solemn latch]

depends on the location you want it to run

if you wrote the code you would be the only one to know

[fresh bluff]

Its in my handlers file

@solemn latch Im confused please help me

[solemn latch]

hmm, well when do you want to give xp to users?

[fresh bluff]

After 10 messages

[solemn latch]

youll need to track how many messages they have then

[fresh bluff]

ok

[fresh bluff]

How do i do that

[spark flint]

In a json file or database

[solemn latch]

youll need to store it in your database, then if the number is divisible by 10 then give them xp

[fresh bluff]

Ok

[solemn latch]

or dont even store it I guess, could just take the inaccuracies and only cache it.
doesnt need to be 100% perfect

if it resets who cares 😄

you only care if its every 10th message anyway

[fresh bluff]

i forgot how to code that lol

NVM

[solemn latch]

you gave an example up above, just look at your old code to see how it works

[fresh bluff]

I found a way

@solemn latch I wrote this code would this work

const profileSchema = require('./schemas/profile-schema')

module.exports = (client) => {
  client.on('message', (message) => {
    const { guild, member } = message

    addXP(guild.id, member.id, 23, message)
  })
}

const getNeededXP = (level) => level * level * 100

const addXP = async (guildId, userId, xpToAdd, message) => {
  await mongo().then(async (mongoose) => {
    try {
      const result = await profileSchema.findOneAndUpdate(
        {
          guildId,
          userId,
        },
        {
          guildId,
          userId,
          $inc: {
            xp: xpToAdd,
          },
        },
        {
          upsert: true,
          new: true,
        }
      )

      let { xp, level } = result
      const needed = getNeededXP(level)

      if (xp >= needed) {
        ++level
        xp -= needed

        message.reply(
          `You are now level ${level} with ${xp} experience! You now need ${getNeededXP(
            level
          )} XP to level up again.`
        )

        await profileSchema.updateOne(
          {
            guildId,
            userId,
          },
          {
            level,
            xp,
          }
        )
      }
    } finally {
      mongoose.connection.close()
    }
  })
}

module.exports.addXP = addXP```

Ik

ok

[solemn latch]

just out of curiosity, what does this line do? 🤔
const result = await profileSchema.findOneAndUpdate(

[fresh bluff]

tbh i forgot

[solemn latch]

can you find out please

[fresh bluff]

sure

@solemn latch here it is

You are using it fine. Async/await works like this. You have a function that performs a task but you don't want to wait till it completes the task before it can continue another task.

Then you use the async statement to show it is a asynchronous function then you use the await when you want to perform a task that returns data so that it doesn't block the other tasks.

[solemn latch]

that doesnt explain what it does

[fresh bluff]

all i could find

[solemn latch]

are you sure you wrote this code? 🤔

[fresh bluff]

stack overflow has nothing on it

@solemn latch i used https://github.com/AlexzanderFlores/Worn-Off-Keys-Discord-Js/blob/master/32-Leveling-System/levels.js

so not really but i did a few things

[solemn latch]

You may want to contact the owner of that github if you want support for it.
will do better than we can do

[fresh bluff]

Yeah iim going to

[fresh bluff]

Hey I need some help again

@solemn latch How tf do i set this up
receive a message from messageCreate event, store a messageCount in your db. then, when messageCount reaches 10, reset it to 0, add xp to user.

[earnest phoenix]

I sent one message and now it spams the embed.

   let array1 = []
     if (array1.includes(message.channel.id)) {

 let e = new Discord.MessageEmbed()


    message.channel.send({ embeds: [e] });
  }```

Djs v13, any help? lol

[sudden geyser]

can you show more of your code

hopefully blocks are ignored

[earnest phoenix]

Thats it lmfao

[sudden geyser]

Every time your bot sends a message, it triggers that event since it created a new message

[earnest phoenix]

Oh yeah

    if (message.author.bot) return;

[solemn latch]

I may or may not have been testing their knowledge of the code they wrote 👀

[earnest phoenix]

Got it, ty.

[sudden geyser]

Though with application commands you won't have to worry about that

[errant flax]

oh makes sense

[sudden geyser]

What library?

[lyric mountain]

Slay spoiling woo trials tsk tsk

[errant flax]

[solemn latch]

was mostly just curious

[sudden geyser]

You could use <MessageReaction>.users.cache.has(...) (https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/MessageReaction)

[lyric mountain]

Doesn't reaction already return all the users?

Like, without needing cache

[errant flax]

<MessageReaction>.users.fetch()

[errant flax]

i mean it coulve been like a message partial or something

[woeful pike]

oh no 😭 my man is recreating a connection pool for every single query

[rotund gorge]

⬆️

[royal pumice]

Import discord
Import DYNO
form discord.ext import command

Bot = command.prifix(['!','?'])

Bot.command()
Asyns def dyno(ctx):
    Self = ctx.self
   Await self.devolopment_DYNO

Bot.run(token=token)

I saw a web

Name dyno code

And i click on it

[pale vessel]

Looks a bit off

[royal pumice]

And this is the fake code

🤣 😂

Who made that fake web

Everyone can understand that is fake

[hybrid cargo]

lol

[lavish frost]

Better here than anywhere else, can someone briefly explain what are the rate limits? Cause i keep hearing about it but want to make sure what im hearing is right 😅

[sudden geyser]

Discord has no concrete list of rate limits as they're dynamic and may change.

If you're using a library, there's a good chance it handles rate limits for you.

But Discord expects you to be "reasonable" with the number of requests and how often you hit the API.

For example, a command that modifies every channel to update some role's permission will probably get rate limited, but people do it anyway since it's not an operation they'll do often.

[lavish frost]

Do you know if Discord.JS does it for me then?

[sudden geyser]

It does.

[lavish frost]

Awesome, thanks a ton for the info

[viral spade]

Hey, i am using discord.js and have a problem:

Whenever i get a DiscordApiError: Missing Permission the shard that throws the error restarts. I would like the shard to keep on going after such an error. How would i do that?

its not like i get an uncaught primise rejection or something

That is also what i want to do additionally, but i also want it to not restart if such an error is thrown anyways

thats an example event

should i make a console.log here instead of a reject?

[woeful pike]

you don't need to wrap this inside a promise constructor

a try catch that rejects with the error it catches is equivalent to not having a try catch at all. Exceptions bubble up the call stack by default

you're getting unhandled promise rejections because you fire and forget event.execute() and when that errors ur program dies because theres nothing to catch it

[subtle river]

db[id_number] = config["setup"]["default"]
anyone know why this specific line is sending a discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception: TypeError: string indices must be integers?
id_number i've tried to make a str and int.
config and db are dictionaries.

[slender thistle]

what's config['setup']

[cinder aspen]

the status of my bot is not working?

[modest maple]

[earnest phoenix]

Looks fine to me

[cinder aspen]

?

I but what ?

I but wydm

[spark flint]

It is

It works

I use status dnd

Hey @wheat mesa! Do you have any open source detritus bots?

[pale vessel]

[urban slate]

yoo

guys is it possible to use a normal account as a bot?

[solemn latch]

its against discord tos

[urban slate]

ohhh

but is it possible?

[solemn latch]

no, its against discord tos.

[urban slate]

okkii

thnx

[quartz kindle]

technically its possible yes

but people who do it are pretty much insta-banned

[spark flint]

yeah

Learning/Testing our Dropdown Menu's and this error has been there for the longest time 🤣

[solemn latch]

maybe a little ^_^

[solemn latch]

just to double check, in that file are you requiring discord-buttons

the error seems to be related to the discord-buttons library, but i dont see it being used

[subtle river]

I seem to be having errors with my code that I cannot debug, does anyone know why this is happening?
Code & json file attached

[earnest phoenix]

I did, still the same erorr.

[spark flint]

What errors?

[solemn latch]

I think your error is happening in another file, that question was just information gathering

[earnest phoenix]

I have this in my main file:

const dbs = require("discord-buttons");
dbs(client);
const { MessageMenuOption, MessageMenu } = require("discord-buttons")

As soon as I just took that out, it worked.

Lemme go test the command*

[spark flint]

Try const { dbs, MessageMenuOption, MessageMenu } = require(“discord-buttons”);

[spark flint]

It’s the “

Re type it

[earnest phoenix]

wot?

thats what I put

not ""

nbm

nvm

[spark flint]

It’s because I’m on mobile

[spark flint]

Might be a compatibility issue

What discord.js version are you using

[earnest phoenix]

v12

WAit

I think v13

One sec.

[spark flint]

Buttons is using 12

[earnest phoenix]

oh

I needa downgrade

After I transfer EVERYTHING to djs v13

kill me now

fr lol 🤣

[spark flint]

Try a different button library

[earnest phoenix]

Its alr, I shall just re-downgrade.

[spark flint]

One which is v13 compatable

[boreal iron]

Use the inbuilt djsv13 methods...

[earnest phoenix]

Nah, those are always so extra

[spark flint]

I don’t use discord.js but some errors are easy to tell

discord-components on discord.py is godly I stg

[wheat mesa]

No, but Erwin’s repo that flazepe linked you is a good start, and this repo is really good (made by the creator of detritus) https://github.com/cakedan/notsobot.ts

[boreal iron]

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

[solemn latch]

Isn't djs v12 going to stop working not far in the future anyway?

Or can you make it work with third party libs

[spark flint]

^

[boreal iron]

Or can you make it work with third party libs

The nonsense is to work with additional libraries if your main library already includes all possibilities.

[spark flint]

But what’s easier

[boreal iron]

Thinking about to downgrade is just a big face palm.

[boreal iron]

Learning how to program to understand the library you're already using.

I mean the fucking docs of djs do explain things really good, also providing examples

It's not really complicated at all to understand how to deal with message components

But already using the library for things you understand copy & paste doesn't require an additional library for doing the same things you can do with the main one

[solemn latch]

easier today? or easier overall.
there will be a day when v12 isnt maintained by even third party libraries.
djs v15 could be out by then, and then you need to learn v13, v14, and v15.
while staying back might save some dev time today, devs may have so many more issues down the road.

-someone who hasnt learned v13

[subtle river]

typeerror: string indicies must be integers

[earnest phoenix]

Try using a different library in general

Am I doing something wrong? I am so confused, this is straight from the DIscord Guide, yet there is still no slash commands in the server popping up.

[solemn latch]

this appears to be the code for responding to slash commands, not registering them.
if you are using the guide, probably best to read the whole thing about slash commands(here and the next few pages).
https://discordjs.guide/interactions/registering-slash-commands.html#registering-slash-commands

[coral sigil]

Ohh, I didn't notice that reply was for me, thanks!

[earnest phoenix]

I did see that, but that only is for a certain guild.

[coral sigil]

Thanks!

[earnest phoenix]

I want it multi-guild.

[solemn latch]

if you read from there, youll see on that page it covers global commands too.

[earnest phoenix]

Ah nvm, the Guide has it all.

Yeah just saw that. 🤣

It's as simple as;

    Routes.applicationCommands(clientId),
    { body: commands },
);```?

[solemn latch]

yep, just note the text above that code block includes important information

[earnest phoenix]

So confused, but lemme go try a few things and read the docs over 200 times not even joking lmfao

const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');
const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v9');
const { token } = require('./config.json');
const fs = require('fs');

const commands = [];
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));


for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
    commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
}

const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken(token);
await rest.put(
    Routes.applicationCommands(client.id),
    { body: commands },
);
(async () => {
    try {
        console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');

        await rest.put(
            Routes.applicationGuildCommands(clientId, guildId),
            { body: commands },
        );

        console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();

So, that should theoretically work.... right?

[solemn latch]

looks like thats for guild specific commands

[earnest phoenix]

oh wait

const { Routes } = require('discord-api-types/v9');
const { token } = require('./config.json');
const fs = require('fs');

const commands = [];
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));


for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
    commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
}

const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken(token);

(async () => {
    try {
        console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');

     await rest.put(
    Routes.applicationCommands(client.id),
    { body: commands },
);

        console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();```

looks right to me, but I havent used djs v13 before

const { REST } = require('@discordjs/rest');

const commands = [];




const rest = new REST({ version: '9' }).setToken(config.token);

(async () => {
    try {
        console.log('Started refreshing application (/) commands.');

     await rest.put(
    Routes.applicationCommands('701018283603918869'),
    { body: commands },
);

        console.log('Successfully reloaded application (/) commands.');
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();

It still does not create the slash command.

global commands take an hour to show up

[earnest phoenix]

In 1 server?

[solemn latch]

yeah, they refresh at random times iirc

[earnest phoenix]

They always used to be instant... wowza

[solemn latch]

so whenever it refreshes next(1 time an hour)

which is why the guide suggests using guild commands during development

[earnest phoenix]

Okay, imma just to guild based ones, since it is for 1 server.

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'toJSON')```

Now I just get that.

for (const file of commandFiles) {
    const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
    commands.push(command.data.toJSON());
}```

one thing after another 🤣

[wheat mesa]

seems like you don't have a prop exported called data

Also, commands show up instantly in DMs

[earnest phoenix]

I'm just going off the guide.

[solemn latch]

are you sure you updated all your commands in the command folder to follow the guide?

[earnest phoenix]

Wym?

[earnest phoenix]

Im trying to do a drop-down menu

const { MessageActionRow, MessageSelectMenu } = require('discord.js');

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

    if (interaction.commandName === 'ping') {
        const row = new MessageActionRow()
            .addComponents(
                new MessageSelectMenu()
                    .setCustomId('select')
                    .setPlaceholder('Nothing selected')
                    .setMinValues(2)
                    .setMaxValues(3)
                    .addOptions([
                        {
                            label: 'Select me',
                            description: 'This is a description',
                            value: 'first_option',
                        },
                        {
                            label: 'You can select me too',
                            description: 'This is also a description',
                            value: 'second_option',
                        },
                        {
                            label: 'I am also an option',
                            description: 'This is a description as well',
                            value: 'third_option',
                        },
                    ]),

    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    }
})();```

Thats my index.js

[solemn latch]

I see, so the code you are using above isnt compatible with the code in the guide in the section you are in

[earnest phoenix]

Wym?

All of that is in the guide....

https://discordjs.guide/interactions/select-menus.html#building-and-sending-select-menus

[solemn latch]

sure, but you skipped steps

[earnest phoenix]

I'm not sure what steps tho..?

[solemn latch]

https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/command-handling.html#individual-command-files

probably best to go to the beginning tbh

at least to back here. https://discordjs.guide/creating-your-bot/#creating-configuration-files
every page should be read and understood before moving to the next

[boreal iron]

That fucking guide is just trash

client.application.commands

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

[earnest phoenix]

Okay okay, so its getting easier.

[boreal iron]

To create, delete, set (update) interactions

[earnest phoenix]

client.commands = new Collection();
                      ^

ReferenceError: Collection is not defined
    at Object.<anonymous> (/home/runner/djs-v13/index.js:23:23)```

Now its just that error and I fully understand it lmfao

[boreal iron]

Just use a map or the associacted discord constructor
