development

[neat ingot]

fair enough 😄

[boreal iron]

So what would be the proper way then, to pass my database instance to the child?

Can I pass them sort of like I do with arguments to modules?

[quartz kindle]

if you want to keep them stateless

just pass events via ipc

master shard event -> ipc -> child -> ipc -> master database call -> ipc -> child -> response via http or -> ipc -> master response via http

[neat ingot]

thats spicy.

[quartz kindle]

however database connections are usually very easy to create an maintain

[boreal iron]

Oh so I would basically build an event handler sending the event via ipc to the child

[quartz kindle]

you should easily be able to create a separate db connection on each shard

master shard event -> ipc -> child -> dedicated database call -> response via http or -> ipc -> master response via http

[boreal iron]

Well the goal was to create the database pool in the master

[quartz kindle]

if you are working with sql pools, then you need a separate pool on each child

you can make the pools smaller to compensate if you want

[boreal iron]

Oh ok

[quartz kindle]

however it would be more advantageous to just keep a connection always on instead of using a pool to connect/disconnect

[prime mist]

To be honest, internal sharding should get you a long way. I would definitely be looking at other options if I was considering process forking.

[boreal iron]

I feel like that somehow ruins my entire plan then
Im barely missing the basics here but I’ve never done this before it thought about it

[quartz kindle]

what exactly is your goal?

do you have a rough idea of what you want in terms of infrastructure?

could you draw a diagram if need be?

[boreal iron]

Yeah I have an explicit plan

But I can’t do anything else then trying to explain in words atm

Because you know why

[quartz kindle]

driving?

[boreal iron]

I’m usually like to discuss the theory about the things when I’m driving

To have time then to do things when I’m at home

[boreal iron]

Yeah

[quartz kindle]

lel

so as i understand

you kinda want to go the oppositie direction of what people usually do

instead of having multiple processes handling shards and forwarding them to a centralized processor

you want to have a centralized shard handler and forwarding events to multiple event handlers

[boreal iron]

Basically yes

[quartz kindle]

techincally that is much easier to do than the other way around

[prime mist]

If you were building a massive bot, you would likely have a gateway service pumping events into rabbitmq or something.

You could then have zero downtime deployments.

[boreal iron]

And being trivial I thought I simply create my gateway connection and database connection in the master which creates a child process and I’m just passing my database and client (gateway) vars to the child when creating it

Simply spoken

[quartz kindle]

well you cannot pass the connection handlers

[prime mist]

Separate the bot logic from the gateway handling, so you hardly ever have to restart your shards.

[quartz kindle]

like if you create a database connection, for example const connection = await database.connect();, you cannot send the connection variable to a child process

[boreal iron]

Yeah which was the reason I thought then to emit an event in the child and pass the data to the event listener in the master then

[quartz kindle]

yes you can do that

[boreal iron]

Yeah the issue is it would be required for the gateway connection, too

Which makes is absurdly complicated

[quartz kindle]

whats so complicated about it?

[boreal iron]

Well wouldn’t I need to build an event handler in the master which would deal with any discord like event I’m using?

[quartz kindle]

// master
shard = new discordshardsomehow();
shard.on("message", data => {
  child.send(data)
});
child.on("message", response => {
  discord.post(response)
});

// child
db = new database();
process.on("message", data => {
  do something with data;
  result = maybe do db.fetch();
  process.send(result)
})

in stupidly simplified terms

[boreal iron]

Ah I see the master does require a shard manager for the gateway connection here even if I just create one child

[prime mist]

Ideally children are un-aware of their parent. The parent should only really be spawning the required amount of shards, and doing some process monitoring.

Shard(s) (if you use a mix of process and internal sharding) should have everything they need in their own process.

[boreal iron]

That’s a different story then as I need to get into sharding then even if it will always just be one shard

[hoary apex]

Guys my bot is not connecting

To code

[boreal iron]

[earnest phoenix]

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions

is it bcs my bot don't have permissions?

[boreal iron]

Aye

[hoary apex]

Nah same error

[hoary apex]

[boreal iron]

Dude if you don’t provide any code and errors how should anybody be able to help you?

[quartz kindle]

well the master would use internal sharding

[hoary apex]

@boreal iron

[earnest phoenix]

its something about the DiscordAPI lmao nothing about my code

[quartz kindle]

i mean, this is what i understood you want to acomplish

[boreal iron]

Yeah which would bring me to the point to get into sharding then

[earnest phoenix]

I have all my presence intents enabled

[quartz kindle]

internal sharding is dead easy to do, you literally just set the number or set "auto"

no children are created, its all in the same process

[boreal iron]

You’re missing the permissions FOR what you’re doing

For example sending a message

[boreal iron]

Hmm I really begin to think about efficiency here.
I somehow believe now it’s better to throw any connection handler into my mail file then and build up anything else in modules I can basically reload at any time

In theory my idea was great but I see it’s actually more complicated to accomplish it then throwing anything into modules I can reload at any time

[quartz kindle]

well

child processes are used for scaling, not for organizing code

[boreal iron]

Yeah I see

Well then thanks

That saved me a lot of time

Sleep well then, it’s your time

[hoary apex]

Any replit developers I need a help

[orchid nebula]

const ban = await message.channel.send({content: `Are you sure you wanna ban \`${user}\`...`, components: [but1, but2]})
const collector = ban.createMessageComponentCollector({
    filter: (b) => {
if (message.author === user) {
    return client.createError(message, `❌ | You can't ban yourself!`);
   };
    },
  });
          
  collector.on("collect", async (i) => {
    await i.deferReply({
      ephemeral: false
    });
    if (i.customId === "confirm") {
      await message.guild.members.ban(user);

      i.editReply({ embeds: [ new MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("#F2C5F9")
    .setTimestamp()
                             .setDescription(`Successfully banned **${target}**`)] })
}
})

[austere surge]

did you mean: ${user}

[orchid nebula]

Dang yeh

[austere surge]

lol

[orchid nebula]

@austere surge but still error bro

[austere surge]

whats wrong

[orchid nebula]

Like the bot banning the user but not show the confirm embed

Just show this

[austere surge]

sec

[orchid nebula]

Ya

And no error in console also

[austere surge]

apparently theres supposed to be a ) at the end

[orchid nebula]

Wait lemme check coz i wrote whole code on dc

[austere surge]

where is the confirm being sent in the code

[quartz kindle]

weird but awesome js

[orchid nebula]

Interaction edit reply that's the confirm message ig

Like when a person will use ban cmd bot will send a content with two buttons one is confirm and other is cancel.

The confirm one is working as it bans the user but the I.editReply is not working

[lyric mountain]

Catch ur promises

[hoary apex]

?

Join my replit

[lyric mountain]

.catch(err => { handle error })

[lyric mountain]

Nah I'll pass

[hoary apex]

..

[shadow topaz]

how to add like this image in bot page top.gg any one pls tell
if any video tutorial there pls give

[wheat mesa]

nobody is going to write your code for you 😛

[earnest phoenix]

Please write my code for me

:)

I actually have no idea what im doing rn

[wheat mesa]

I know 🙂

[boreal iron]

Simple HTML

[shadow topaz]

oki but doing first time so any video there not html that image one

[boreal iron]

<img src="url" alt="image1" />

You can also simply paste your image URL into the description
That should also work

But I recommend using HTML

[rocky hearth]

how can ik when a thread gets archived?

[boreal iron]

By listening to the thread_update event according to the docs

Emitted whenever a thread is updated - e.g. name change, archive state change, locked state change.

[rocky hearth]

and I can unarchive a thread with bot, right?

[boreal iron]

Guess you’re using djs

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/ThreadChannel?scrollTo=setArchived

You would need to pass false for the archived parameter

[green pebble]

how can i change this to an image for css... i check my code in codepen it works.. idk why it doesnt in top.gg custom css

[wooden tusk]

I want to do if a user vote to my bot , adds role on the support server

[wheat mesa]

then do it

😉

[wooden tusk]

Really ?

[austere surge]

yes'

[green pebble]

i use vote tracker tbh... cant hassel using all the apis and stuff... i got some code in my github you can check stuff there

https://github.com/denzven/Denzven-Graphing-Api-Bot/blob/master/commands/vote_msg.py this one.. @wooden tusk

wtf werid link

better

[austere surge]

big

[ivory siren]

You sent link of command lol

Nvm

[green pebble]

nah its a event... its an easier (for me) cuz idk using the api as of yet)

[ivory siren]

Hmhm

[green pebble]

any css help in this pls

https://codepen.io/denzven-ignatius/pen/dyZqZpv the codepen code i was saying

[earnest phoenix]

it's a terrible idea to put text inside an image because it breaks seo and accessibility

[green pebble]

nvm i fixed it by using a couple of importants

but how do i force dark now....

i used to see an option in bot settings.. but idk it disappeared

[earnest phoenix]

I see bad things for your future

[green pebble]

is it a bad practice? i worte this css https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/denzven/Denzven-Graphing-Api-Bot@master/topgg_css.css jus rate it please

[earnest phoenix]

!important is a very bad practice

[green pebble]

i have 13 of them 😶‍🌫️ any other way to avoid them? because its getting overridden by the default css from top.gg

[slender thistle]

If it works it works

As long as they can sort their crap out later why not

[green pebble]

hmm cool

[feral aspen]

LMAO. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71261966/discord-js-how-can-i-create-an-invite-for-every-server-my-bot-is-in/71262052#71262052

[green pebble]

how can i force dark tho

[earnest phoenix]

That is both easy to do and against TOS

as long as the bot has manage invite perms you can do it

[feral aspen]

Exactly. 😂

_ _

[green pebble]

oh boi thats terrible thing to do lmao

[earnest phoenix]

Yea lets not tell people how to do it

smh

Even if its wrong

[feral aspen]

Why so? They would want to be spoonfed not explained.

[earnest phoenix]

Because then people will have an idea of what to do and actually do it

[feral aspen]

They would do it at their own risk, but oh well.

Stackoverflow really seems a lot of fun watching questions and having no idea how to answer them.

[earnest phoenix]

.repeattheselector.repeattheselector.repeattheselector.repeattheselector.repeattheselector.repeattheselector.repeattheselector.repeattheselector {
background: red:
}

actually i think it would be okay if you use important

it's valid if you're overriding default css

[earnest phoenix]

Here's a fun fact:
We trust tim so much that if he sends actually bad code we'd copy it without any questions

using important is something you only do as a last resort iirc

^

It can fuck up css hierarchy if I remember correctly from what google said

https://css-tricks.com/when-using-important-is-the-right-choice/

there ya go

@green pebble so yeah it's fine to use !important ONLY if you're overriding top.gg's css

I remember I used important on almost everything

but that is because I was using bootstrap on my site

[earnest phoenix]

kids these days

and bootstrap si really annoying

One of the reasons why I stopped using it

using bootstrap is a bigger crime than using important

I was beginner dont hate me

😔

same

I still am beginner but I learned not to use bootstrap

i used to put text inside img tags

Now i use my own css

took a long time to realize img tags can't have children

[earnest phoenix]

use bulma or chakra ui

[pale vessel]

infertility hits hard

[marble juniper]

its always the right choice

[earnest phoenix]

chakra < Mantine

[marble juniper]

^

[earnest phoenix]

mantine is better

[marble juniper]

Yes

More people should know about mantine

[earnest phoenix]

I use mantine over chakra when I use react

mantime

I mainly use angular these days tho

I like it over react

[marble juniper]

https://mantine.dev/

[earnest phoenix]

link i have something to tell you

people care about mantine as much as they care about detritus

which is... not much

people should care about mantine

it beats chakra by a long shot

[marble juniper]

people don't care about detritus because nobody should

lol

[marble juniper]

yes

[marble juniper]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

I bet chakra can't do modals, drawers and manage date times, notifications, etc

[marble juniper]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

if mantine is accessible then i would use it

[marble juniper]

I think mantine is perfect for a document editor lol

cuz of its rte

rich text editor etc

or for forums

[marble juniper]

it is

[earnest phoenix]

can do modals can do drawers what's your point

it is

modals are cool and so are drawers

that is my point

can do notifications too

who doesn't like sending notifications on their site

do you mean mobile browser notifications or just a text box at the top of your site

I think you can position it in any of the corners I can't remember tho

well yeah chakra has that

[orchid nebula]

…

[earnest phoenix]

"JavaScript developers are known for their ability to reinvent the wheel"

• Fireship, 2022

But does chakra allow you to queue notifications?

[earnest phoenix]

honestly tho so true

[earnest phoenix]

yes

I just steal other people's code

mantine's hooks seem cool tho

why do it myself if someone already does it

ye

[marble juniper]

https://mantine.dev/ there are buttons that let you trigger notifications lol

[earnest phoenix]

mantine does have some cool hooks

[marble juniper]

This seems very useful to me personally

You could probably make like a document editor website with this

and the notifications system

[earnest phoenix]

markdown always better

[marble juniper]

Oh and you can install a code highlighting component as well

lol

They use it on the mantine site as well

I think I will make a document editor website with mantine

kinda like docs.google.com lol

but with darkmode support

[earnest phoenix]

If you get a working version done

i'd use it

[marble juniper]

https://mantine.dev/hooks/use-color-scheme

nice

[green pebble]

Cool then....

But how can I force dark... I'm trying a lot of different stuff but I'm not getting it to work

[earnest phoenix]

Can you even force dark mode on top.gg

If people have it on lightmode wont it just overwrite your pages css anyway

[marble juniper]

isn't there an option when u edit ur bot

to force dark mode

[earnest phoenix]

idk

[marble juniper]

also yo wtf

[earnest phoenix]

I don't even submit bots

[marble juniper]

I noticed my bot has 93 votes suddenly

[azure yoke]

Türkçe bilen var mı ?

[earnest phoenix]

Alright now to stop voting on links bot

[marble juniper]

:(

[earnest phoenix]

im kidding

I don't even go on top.gg

[azure yoke]

@marble juniper Türkçe ?

[marble juniper]

No

[azure yoke]

Although there is a translation bot server, why is it not here?

[marble juniper]

wdym

[green pebble]

yea.. i want to do that.. cuz all the css i did jus breaks in lightmode.. and im not getting how to do it...

i added this too but no difference

[green pebble]

there was.. as long as i remember.. but it isnt there anymore idk y

visiting my bots page in private tab rly fvks it up..

https://top.gg/bot/851532461061308438 this is the link btw

[earnest phoenix]

You can just not force it

Till top.gg fixes the problem you can do one of these:

1. Make your page look good on both light and dark mode.
2. Make your own color scheme for the entire bot page that overrides whatever theme the user has selected.

oh boy is that css fucked on light mode

i suggest going for the first option

[split hazel]

god that is disgusting

[split hazel]

it's not too difficult either

[earnest phoenix]

It is

[green pebble]

yup 🥲

how do i make a color scheme for the entire page that overides eyerthing??

i kinda have that as the last part... for the blue colors

[earnest phoenix]

Enable dark mode
Goto your bot page
Open devtools
Copy EVERYTHING from the styles tab

Maybe I'd make a lib that lets you do that easily

[green pebble]

i didnt get the last part... thats like a bit a lot of css there

[earnest phoenix]

wait i think i know a way

you can override the class chakra-ui-light on the html tag but you can't put javascript on your bot page to remove it

[green pebble]

uh

[earnest phoenix]

I've added a new "thing" to my schema, how do I insert it to all the available profiles in the db that doesn't have this "thing"?

[marble juniper]

Nobody can help you with that information alone

be more detailed

[earnest phoenix]

I added a new item in my schema (mongoose/mongodb) so I want to insert it to every documents in the profileModel collection if they don't have it already

[lyric mountain]

Refactor moment

Wouldn't it be better if u just set a default value if none found?

[slender thistle]

updateMany

Can't you do a set operation

[earnest phoenix]

oh well I can insertOne if none is found, right?

[vast cedar]

If an access token expire after 7d, can i still refresh it ? Also, does the refresh token can expire ?

[spark flint]

Token for what?

[vast cedar]

oauth2

[slender thistle]

Inserting is for a separate document. You probably want a set operation with updateOne

[rigid maple]

  let memberActivities;
  onMount(async() => {
    let response = await get('http://localhost:9090/admin/dashboard');
    memberActivities = response.activities
    console.log(memberActivities) // Output: response.activities
  });
console.log(memberActivities) // Output: Undefined
    var controlActivity = memberActivities.filter(function(spotifyActivity) { // Cannot filter this because memberActivities is undefined
        if (spotifyActivity.id === 'spotify:1') {
            return true;
        }
    })

It returns undefined because it runs the code before the value is assigned

[sudden geyser]

The function you pass to onMount will be called some time in the future, so trying to assign it a variable isn't going to do it.

[rigid maple]

What can I do to make memberActivities wait for a value to be assigned?

[sudden geyser]

use the value inside the callback

and try updating whatever you're trying to do from within there.

don't know what framework you're using that handles it

[rigid maple]

i use svelte

[earnest phoenix]

do you have to always fetch the data AFTER it has been mounted?

can you not assign it a value during compile time

[fiery stream]

Yoo

[earnest phoenix]

hi

[fiery stream]

Question are if statements with multiple checks like if 1+1=2 && 2+2=4:

Ran left through right?

Or does it check both at same time in python

[earnest phoenix]

left through right

it would only ever run the second one if the first one returned true

with || it would only run the second one if the first one returned false

Conditionals are parsed and executed from left to right, although math expressions have their own set of rules for hierarchy

[fiery stream]

Ahhh that solved my biggest issue thanks for that @earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

you're welcome

now pay me 100$ dogecoin for my assistance

[fiery stream]

Love you for that no homo

[fiery stream]

I had doge but sold it long time ago

Like 2 weeks

It was fallin

[fiery stream]

Thanks voltrex

[fiery stream]

So if 1+1=0 it wouldn’t have even tried to check the second if condition?

[earnest phoenix]

yep

[fiery stream]

Perfect got it

[earnest phoenix]

if (smth) doThis();
can be written as
smth && doThis();

That's the behavior of the AND operator (&&), if you for example use the OR operator (||), the behavior will change, it will check for the second conditional if the first one fails

i already explained that five messages ago but ok

[fiery stream]

Yeah i figured that but i was like what if it randomly check the 2nd condition in the if statement before the first one like random pick from 2 condition n then it ran the other one

[earnest phoenix]

lmao why

[fiery stream]

Idk thought it might just be a thing lul

Well thanks guys I’ll apply that to my code n fix it later on

[earnest phoenix]

bye

[fiery stream]

Bye

[earnest phoenix]

alla hafiz

[fiery stream]

Thats sounds like a muslim thing idk what it means…

[earnest phoenix]

The compiler can misinterpret an expression and confuse their hierarchy if the expressions are colliding with each other, for example some compilers can interpret 1 > 0 && 6 < 7 || true as 1 > 0 && (6 < 7 || true) while it should be (1 > 0 && 6 < 7) || true

I assume that's what you're worried about

[fiery stream]

Are the || supposed to be a or statement or just shows whats its supposed to return lol?

[earnest phoenix]

That's an OR statement yes, those can collide with each other, hence can be misinterpreted, so that's probably what you're worried about, although most compilers interpret these correctly, so you don't have to worry about it much

[fiery stream]

Ahhh i see interesting

[fiery stream]

But lowkey confused why would you check the value n then just return it as true lol whats even the point of the checks

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah but that's just an example, nothing about the values, just the operator behaviors

[fiery stream]

I see gotcha

[pale oasis]

Will requiring something constantly affect performance?

if(cmd.info.privated.dev && !require('../config.json').DEVS.includes(message.author.id)) return

[neat ingot]

no. require is cache'd. if you require 'config' from one file, its cached for every future file (within that process) that requires the same file.

^ if you wanted to not cache it and do a fresh require each time

[pale oasis]

Okay.

[neat ingot]

If however, you are referencing the object obtained from your require, ie config, multiple times within a single file, you should (imo) do one single require for that file at the top of your program/file, and then reference that variable throughout your program, instead of having to write require('config') everywhere

[pale oasis]

Yes I know.
I have this at the top:
const configInfo = require('../config.json');

I just had a curious question about the require(); function.

[neat ingot]

no worries 🙂

another note on require:
if you have a module that exports an instance of an object, the first time you require that module, the object is created. all other times you require that module, it uses the same instance.

[pale oasis]

What a performance saver. XD

[neat ingot]

ie, that always has the same instance of DataStore

when i require the module

when a user upvotes your bot, you would need to have a server online listening and waiting for a webhook event to be sent to it from top.gg (send upon vote). your web server would then have to notify your desired discord server etc

[earnest phoenix]

How can i use text out of embed

[neat ingot]

dont think you can? not 100% tho

[wheat mesa]

You can’t

[earnest phoenix]

A v6 idea
By default use link buttons for jump to the giveaway in win messages. someone said that, sad

[wheat mesa]

nobody wants to write your code for you

spoonfeeding is something we don't do here 😛

[neat ingot]

lol, lets see what the oldest version i have is... 😂

[wheat mesa]

if you look at top.gg's docs I'm pretty sure they have a comprehensive tutorial on how to set up listeners for voting

[earnest phoenix]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/@top-gg/sdk

There is an example

Cache user in guild and add role ?

[neat ingot]

dang thats old 😂

is dblapi even still a thing?

[wheat mesa]

I highly recommend not asking people to write code for you

dblapi is deprecated iirc

[earnest phoenix]

Cache user in guild and add role ?

[wheat mesa]

you're not gonna learn anything if someone else does the work for you :p

we can give you tips and stuff, but nobody is going to give you a full functioning program

[pale oasis]

^

[neat ingot]

dang that code is so bad 😂

[pale oasis]

If you want to start learining how to use Discord.js, you can start with reading the guide, documentation, or a tutorial off YouTube.

[neat ingot]

imo, learning to write a bot is a great way to learn about programming, and how difficult it actually is 😂

[wheat mesa]

I wouldn't say writing a bot is necessarily really difficult, but if it's one of your first projects, it's quite a task

you'll learn a lot from doing it

[neat ingot]

I had been writing code for a solid 6/7 years before I started on bots, and I still to this day stumble into things im like 'wth?!'

[wheat mesa]

the discord api is vast

[pale oasis]

The most WTH thing ever is discord.js v13 message intent changes.

[wheat mesa]

it's difficult to know everything

[pale oasis]

Can't wait for v14!...

[neat ingot]

I'm curious how much v14 will actually change

[earnest phoenix]

Too much things to update

[pale oasis]

They also deprecated 'message' and changed it to 'messageCreate'.
Again, unneeded.

[neat ingot]

lol

[sudden geyser]

depends on your definition of unneded

[neat ingot]

thats not the worst of changes tho. fairly easy to change a string for your event name

[pale oasis]

Yes, either change the file name if you have an event handler or change one line of code.

[earnest phoenix]

MessageEmbed and color updates

This will take hella time

[pale oasis]

Wait, I have a meme on that.

[earnest phoenix]

waiting...

[earnest phoenix]

And it will be Embed

[wheat mesa]

djs devs complaining like it's the end of the world when one function gets renamed

[pale oasis]

It is!!1!!!1

[earnest phoenix]

RichEmbed: MessageEmbed,
MessageEmbed: Embed

[wheat mesa]

plus, the message to messageCreate change was due to the fact that the event in the actual api is named messageCreate

[pale oasis]

const embed = new Embed()

[pale oasis]

I still prefer message.

[earnest phoenix]

I see the future and did client.embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed so everytime i need embed i just type
let embed = client.embed
And if they change ill just update client.embed

[wheat mesa]

wtf

[sudden geyser]

oh no

[earnest phoenix]

They forced me to this lol

[sudden geyser]

no, you did :)

[earnest phoenix]

Maybe

[pale oasis]

Or just pass MessageEmbed in your command handler so you can change it.

For example

const commandHandlerStuff = {
message: message,
client: client,
args: args,
Embed: MessageEmbed
}
cmd.run(commandHandlerStuff)```

[sudden geyser]

this is the price you pay for a library part of an ecosystem that's unapologetically modern

that looks even worse

[earnest phoenix]

If you use embed in each command

Not seems bad

[neat ingot]

just have a common utils class that you use for these things

[pale oasis]

hello.js

exports.run({ Embed, message }) => {
  const embed = new Embed()

[wheat mesa]

what the fuck

[sudden geyser]

also why bother exporting client if you can just do message.client

[wheat mesa]

^

[pale oasis]

I never knew that was a thing...

WAIT

[earnest phoenix]

i agree

[sudden geyser]

available on pretty much any discord.js class/structure

[wheat mesa]

if you have an object from discord, 99 times out of 100 it has client attached to it somehow

[neat ingot]

yea, getting client from junk is real easy

[earnest phoenix]

Shesssss

[neat ingot]

why is this.client=client needed?

[pale oasis]

Do you guys just allow copilot to do 90% of the work for you? 🤷‍♂️

[sudden geyser]

I don't like using copilot

[neat ingot]

~ never tried copilot

[sudden geyser]

Very intrusive with its autocomplete

[pale oasis]

Intrusive got that right.

[earnest phoenix]

Why not

[sudden geyser]

Intrusive as in it pulls up autocomplete in the worst moments/when I don't want it

Plus I use sublime text so no copilot

Copilot is the best AI code completion tool i've used though

[pale oasis]

VSC

[sudden geyser]

yucko

don't like its interface

[pale oasis]

VSC is superior change my mind.

[sudden geyser]

sublime text clean

[neat ingot]

for a few reasons that i can see.
~ your passing the client object to super, the parent class likely already holds reference to it.
~ when a message or slash command interaction is created, you can get the client object from that, so there is no need to store it in the command at all really

[pale oasis]

sublime bad
vsc good

[sudden geyser]

grr!

how does this not look beautiful

[earnest phoenix]

Already i just need client when i running

repl

[wheat mesa]

sublime isn't as cluttered as vsc imo

I still prever vsc because that's what I'm used to though

[sudden geyser]

I want to eventually move to neovim

[pale oasis]

It also learns from past code you've written.

    //Block NSFW Commands
    if(cmd.info.nsfw && !message.channel.nsfw) return message.reply(`❌ **This command is NSFW only!** ❌`)

Going to change that to an embed though.

[sudden geyser]

yeah but I'd rather abstract that away

since there's probably a lot of duplication

[neat ingot]

random question for yall: how many lines of code is your 'ping' command? 🙂

[pale oasis]

Disincluding white space?

[sudden geyser]

I don't have one

[neat ingot]

yea sure 🙂

[neat ingot]

😮 why not?! lol

[earnest phoenix]

19

[sudden geyser]

I feel like slash commands are enough of a "ping"

Where I don't need it

[neat ingot]

is that just the execution code when it runs?

or the whole file size

[sudden geyser]

If I did have one, it'd probably be 8 lines.

[pale oasis]

Mine is 37 lines.

With whitspace.

[earnest phoenix]

whole file size

[neat ingot]

7 lines of actual execution code

[pale oasis]

Without is 31.

[neat ingot]

ooh nice, care to share? 🙂

[earnest phoenix]

Oh no lol

[neat ingot]

😭

[pale oasis]

That is actually cool.

[neat ingot]

lol thanks ❤️

[pale oasis]

Mine is just Bot and API Latency.

[neat ingot]

the thing i like most about it: no 'edited' text

[wheat mesa]

49 😉

[neat ingot]

most bot ping's have the little (edited) thing and it annoys the crap outta me lol

[pale oasis]

Forty?

Nine?

[neat ingot]

add 20 more and than we can 😉

[wheat mesa]

🤨

[pale oasis]

What're you doing, registering the user in to the pentagon?

[earnest phoenix]

hmm

Why is the error being sent to the channel lmao

[pale oasis]

It should be sent to a private channel.

[earnest phoenix]

@rose warrencan you solve this ?

[orchid nebula]

message.channel.send{(content: console.error)}

[earnest phoenix]

its a embed so

[spark flint]

don't ping a community manager for a coding issue

smh

[earnest phoenix]

hmm

[earnest phoenix]

[neat ingot]

this error seems to say that your client id for the spotify plugin isnt defined properly

[earnest phoenix]

hmm

hm

[lyric mountain]

How tf does it go backwards to?

[boreal iron]

[earnest phoenix]

lmao

[neat ingot]

you mean my ping command? how does it remember previous data?

[boreal iron]

Never heard of time traveling?

[lyric mountain]

No, like, the graph is going backwards at times

[neat ingot]

oooohhh, the 'line_tension' is above 1.0, which gives little spikey boi's that look dope 😄

[orchid nebula]

Same can be done . setDescription(${console.error})

[lyric mountain]

Like these moments

[neat ingot]

thats passed to chart.js

yea

line_tension 🙂

[lyric mountain]

What is line tension?

[boreal iron]

Swap your brackets and ()

[neat ingot]

the smoothness of lines from point a -> b

[boreal iron]

[neat ingot]

by using a value over 1.0, it goes 'wonky' and wraps around itself and such. leading to this effect

[lyric mountain]

Shouldn't u decrease it then?

[neat ingot]

yes

but whers the fun in that?! 😄

[lyric mountain]

Lmao

[neat ingot]

also, makes my ping command unlike anyone elses

for the other graphs i use nice straight lines, as that data is more valuable and needs to be more precise (imo)

love me a nice graph 😂

[boreal iron]

You obviously like graphs

[neat ingot]

yes.

[prime mist]

+1 for using docker

[earnest phoenix]

How this guy playing with his bot

[neat ingot]

that is a great question.

I know how to get that to show on the bot's about me section. is there some place i can somehow attach that bot to my own about me?

[unique beacon]

discord rpc?

[neat ingot]

maybe its using some fancy markdown type thing?

oh yea no thats more likely tbh

[unique beacon]

do you mean something like my activity

[neat ingot]

yea, that is via rpc?

[unique beacon]

yes

[earnest phoenix]

set? There isn't a already created value to set

it worked like 5 mins ago

it's like this in the db

[iron tendon]

https://www.toptal.com/developers/hastebin/fikufipiso.js

@earnest phoenix

[earnest phoenix]

change the last line to export default Document

[iron tendon]

this happens

[earnest phoenix]

reload page

[iron tendon]

nope

still borked

[earnest phoenix]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/748741525982150687/947181033898528839/VID_21751006_174150_539.mp4

read the docs for _document

[iron tendon]

yeah you need to extend Document

[junior pecan]

do you have some more APIs or do you have just these?

[spark flint]

idk of any more

[sudden geyser]

What kind of APIs are you looking for

[spark flint]

low effort easy to use ones i guess

[sudden geyser]

I hope they're not just looking to throw in whatever to add more features

[neat ingot]

I like the idea of that api (https://some-random-api.ml/) but the fact its main page has missing images does not inspire confidence.

[spark flint]

missing images?

theyre there for me

https://capy-cdn.xyz/b2yaYPcl.png

[neat ingot]

hmm

[spark flint]

you block flaticon then

https://image.flaticon.com/icons/png/512/617/617800.png

[neat ingot]

i do no such thing lol

but yea i get an error from that link there

wth? why are they blocked?

[sudden geyser]

They're not loading for me either.

[spark flint]

sus

[cinder patio]

they are for me

[boreal iron]

Yeah for me, too

[neat ingot]

they arent displayed for me in firefox, chrome, edge, or opera 😄

[boreal iron]

Probably issues with the cdn or your IP or country might have been blocked temporarily by flaticon

[spark flint]

might be blocked in your country or something?

[sudden geyser]

why do you have opera

[neat ingot]

because i use it for my test discord account 🙂

and to test website etc

[marble juniper]

(sql) anyone know how to create a column field in a table with a default value

[boreal iron]

There’s no excuse for having Opera installed - never!

[earnest phoenix]

I feel violated

[sudden geyser]

I think DEFAULT?

[marble juniper]

Also how can you declare if a field can be null or not

[marble juniper]

how do I use it

[sudden geyser]

NOT NULL

[neat ingot]

mongodb > sql

[sudden geyser]

Just DEFAULT ? where ? is your value.

[earnest phoenix]

mongodb > postgres > sql

[boreal iron]

INSERT INTO x VALUES ("string", 10, default, null)

[sudden geyser]

Can be computed, such as a UUID generator

[marble juniper]

If I don't declare that it means it can be null right

[sudden geyser]

Yeah

sql and mongo both suck <3

[marble juniper]

I use postgres

lol

[boreal iron]

Ok you officially suck Sir

[sudden geyser]

still sucks <3

[marble juniper]

postgres is amazing

[neat ingot]

what superior option do you use?

[spark flint]

wtf stealing from me now

[sudden geyser]

right now datascript

[spark flint]

@atomic kindle loves your opinion

[marble juniper]

a twitter user when they see something that offends them

[earnest phoenix]

tits for tat

*tit oh lord

[spark flint]

[marble juniper]

sus

[sudden geyser]

but if I can't use that postgres

[marble juniper]

imagine ur irl name was tat

[sudden geyser]

I don't like it but there's not much else

[spark flint]

tat rn

[atomic kindle]

coding is for nimrods

[marble juniper]

postgres is amazing doe

[atomic kindle]

it is

[marble juniper]

its

t h e b e s t

[sudden geyser]

it's still sql so it's going to suck regardless

[marble juniper]

database

[neat ingot]

im not familiar with that, but the examples on their github remind me of jsfuck 😂

[atomic kindle]

not the best but yes it is top tier

[marble juniper]

and if you disagree u disagree

[neat ingot]

like what bruh?

[sudden geyser]

Yeah it's not popular

Only used in a niche community

But it's very nice

and much more flexible than sql

[marble juniper]

that looks absolutely horrible lol

[sudden geyser]

If you want to do more research just search for Datalog

[marble juniper]

sql is way easier to understand than this

[sudden geyser]

that's because you aren't used to it :)

[marble juniper]

you could say that for any programming language

[sudden geyser]

once you learn it you don't want to go back

[boreal iron]

Klay hating sql, Klay being a big troll

[sudden geyser]

I'm big troll

[boreal iron]

You big troll

[sudden geyser]

but really I don't like sql but still use it

[junior pecan]

REST APIs

[sudden geyser]

Yes but what kind of REST API

[marble juniper]

klay be like

[junior pecan]

I know but i forgot

Wait a min

[boreal iron]

I don’t like lots of things in real life and I’m still used to them

[sudden geyser]

just join the metaverse

[marble juniper]

you can't say sql is bad cuz I said so

10/10 argument

[junior pecan]

node.js REST API's

[sudden geyser]

still not specific

[earnest phoenix]

[neat ingot]

omg im dying

[boreal iron]

Took your words seriously when hating about Opera, but this is a big no no

[sudden geyser]

An anime API, for example, is more specific.

[junior pecan]

Oh

[marble juniper]

Does anyone here actually like mongodb

[sudden geyser]

surely

[marble juniper]

and would they use it in prod

[neat ingot]

i use it everywhere i can

[junior pecan]

Meme apis pls

[marble juniper]

lol

[sudden geyser]

look if rapidapi has anything in stock

[marble juniper]

idk if I would use it

[neat ingot]

been using it in production reliably for like 5 years

maybe 4, been a time tho 🙂

[marble juniper]

how would I delete certain keys in my data structure

oh wait

[sudden geyser]

Personally I don't like that MongoDB has no relationships

[marble juniper]

the data is not structured

[earnest phoenix]

i am using mongodb so

[neat ingot]

you can use mongoose to force a structure/schema

[sudden geyser]

but then what's the benefit of mongo

[marble juniper]

But thats just a lib

[junior pecan]

Sure?

[marble juniper]

And also

[neat ingot]

for me the benefit is having my entire source written in js

[marble juniper]

I have found mongoose to be a hell to work with

[boreal iron]

Wut? Transforming it into a relational database?

[sudden geyser]

I like schemaless databases (so parts of MongoDB) since it's much more tolerant with the data you put in it, but still want a schema for certain behavior, like maintaining relationships between keys.

[earnest phoenix]

I'm using localhost mongodb on my server and actually i didn't encounter any problems but yea mongodb is slow

[neat ingot]

slow?

where?

[marble juniper]

with sql you at least know what data can be in each row

since mongodb is unstructured you have 0 idea

unless u know ur code

[sudden geyser]

That's kind of the point

There's an implicit schema in mongo

You still know the keys there because you're asking for them

[junior pecan]

Meme REST API's

[sudden geyser]

https://www.google.com/search?q=Meme REST API's

[marble juniper]

pick a random meme off of r/memes

big brain

[sudden geyser]

or reddit

[earnest phoenix]

that's what i do

i could spoonfeed my entire code and the user won't be able to use it because it's detritus

[marble juniper]

That way u always have up to date memes

[earnest phoenix]

sadly most of them are making fun of a war

[marble juniper]

cough 🇺🇦

[marble juniper]

Watch them make memes about ww3 when it actually starts to break out

[sudden geyser]

I mean, meme subreddits are predominantly composed of 14-year-olds

So it shouldn't be a surprise r/memes or whatever is a circlejerk arena

[earnest phoenix]

r/dankmemes more like r/dankporn

[marble juniper]

sus

[junior pecan]

Now what

[marble juniper]

bruh wtf did u just find

[earnest phoenix]

wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf
wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf
wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf
wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf

[sudden geyser]

figure out how to use the thing

you are the software developer!

[junior pecan]

Im trying

[marble juniper]

he said that when someone removed his belt during an esports tournament match if you don't know lol

kinda sus ngl

[sudden geyser]

I only used rapidapi once (though not for API work), but there should be instructions for how to use that API.

[marble juniper]

when the api has no docs

It should be illegal for an api to have no docs

[sudden geyser]

No documentation is the best documentation

[marble juniper]

change my mind

like who tf is gonna want to fuck around with ur api to know what it does

[sudden geyser]

unless you're a trillion dollar company

cough apple

[marble juniper]

At least list the endpoints if ur not gonna make docs

[earnest phoenix]

Documentation is intentionally hard to ward off idiots who'd abuse the API

Change my mind

[sudden geyser]

damn so that's why hypixel's api sucks ass

[marble juniper]

Hypixel stinks

[marble juniper]

Imagine not having a super long token so nobody can use your api

[sudden geyser]

that's top.gg

but seriously, hypixel's api is literally just a mongodb dump

[marble juniper]

Nah I mean my api is protected so only I can use the api lol

[sudden geyser]

you use a token for it?

[marble juniper]

ig yeah

I could make an ip whitelist but thats annoying

[next crown]

Hi, I tried creating new bot and it won't start with node . or node index.js

I tried in cmd and VScode terminal

It won't work

Plz help

[solemn latch]

did you use npm init?

[solemn jolt]

hello i want to add distube package to my code and i get this error

npm ERR! node_modules/distube
npm ERR!   distube@"^3.2.1" from the root project

[spark flint]

is it possible to detect when someone is marked as spam by discord? i'm using discord.js

[marble juniper]

Pretty sure thats not possible

I mean there is no api endpoint for it

so yeah

[earnest phoenix]

Can I get the arena cards from array? it's hard to explain in text

like I have an Object containing all the cards' information and I'd like to get the owned cards' arena from there

like get all the cards from object to inventory and filter them by arena

in arrays

[severe nexus]

Am I able to embed my website onto my bot’s description?

[spark flint]

yes

<iframe src="website url"></iframe>

[junior pecan]

I need your help guys

[severe nexus]

Got it, thanks

[spark flint]

ok

[junior pecan]

Remember the rest api "youtube comment"

?

I bugfixed a error when you press space on the message

https://some-random-api.ml/canvas/youtube-comment?username=$username&comment=$replaceText[$message; ;-;-1]&avatar=$userAvatar[$mentioned[1;yes]]]

But is like this

[lament rock]

might be one of the public flags. Check the docs to see if there is one

[spark flint]

ah

[spark flint]

i'll go try check

[junior pecan]

@spark flint How do I make the message have space without giving an error?

I used a script that replaces the spaces in the message to - . So what character do I use to replace the space for the message to have space in the photo?

[lament rock]

replace the - with a space?

although you shouldn't do that since arbitrary text can still include -

If this is for an API, you should URI encode the string and then decode it as you create the image

[sudden geyser]

I used a script that replaces the spaces in the message to - .
Well, why'd you do that?

Is it so it goes through a URL? Does using percent encoding work?

[lament rock]

uri encoding should work. Most http server wrappers like express can auto parse uri encoded strings

Just don't encode the entire url. Only encode the arbitrary text

[spark flint]

https://capy-cdn.xyz/EUtLO5RK.png

asked and was told its bugged

so

[lament rock]

[earnest phoenix]

how can I change my bot name?

I change it in discord.com/developers, but the bot name does not change

Give it a few or kick and reinvite

I've kicked it and added it back

it does not get changed though

Did you change it in the bots developer portal

[earnest phoenix]

mhm, discord.com/developers

do i need to delete my application and make a new one?

No

Did you change its name in the bot tab of the application

I think you have to change it there as well

discord weird like that

mhm lemme send something

Yea just cause it changed the applications name doesn't mean it changed the bots name

iirc discord requires you to change it in the bots tab as well at least i've had to for the past 3 years

[earnest phoenix]

oh

[craggy pine]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/OqY6Z.png what is this called so I know what I'm searching for? D.js

invite bot by clicking on its user on the side

[earnest phoenix]

I dont think you can do that via discord.js

[craggy pine]

Welp. It do be like that

[earnest phoenix]

If you can it is probably somewhere in the docs but if you can't you can just go to your bots developer portal and add the invite link there iirc

[craggy pine]

Oh it can be added via dev portal.

Good to know

[earnest phoenix]

Yep

its under the oauth tab

[craggy pine]

I found it. Ty much 😛

[sterile lantern]

How can I make the image go where the red box is?

I suck at CSS

[earnest phoenix]

You could possibly try using flex and align-items:center justify-content:center

Idk if it would work tho

[sterile lantern]

Flex?

[earnest phoenix]

yea

display: flex

[sterile lantern]

idk it didnt work

i want it like

next to the text

essentially

i dont have any wrapping/div stuff bc i'm not sure what to use

should i remove this

i tried making it float to the right but it doesnt work like i want it to

[junior pecan]

it's because when the message had spaces the image doesn't work

so i did this

[hidden gorge]

const Discord = module.require("discord.js");
const memberModel = require('../../database/welcome')

module.exports = {
  name: "suggest",
  description: "Anything",
  run : async (client, message, args) => {
    const msg = args.join(" ");
    if (!msg) {
      return message.channel.send("Add a suggestion please");
    }
      
     const data = await memberModel.findOne({
        GuildID: message.guild.id,
    })

    if (!data) return;
     const guild = await client.guilds.cache.get(data.GuildID);
    const schannel = await guild.channels.cache.get(data.ChannelID)
    await message.channel.send(
      `${message.author}, Your Suggestion has been submitted!`
    );

    const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setTitle("New Suggestion")
      .setDescription(`${msg}`)
      .setFooter(`Suggested by ${message.author.tag}`)
      .setColor("RANDOM");
     console.log(message.channel)

    schannel.send({ embeds: [embed] })
      .then(function (message, str) {
        message.react(":suggestionyes:946209266044370964");
        message.react(":suggestionx:946208906521231420");
      })
      .catch(function () {});
  },
};

/*if(client.guilds.cache.get(data.GuildID) && client.guilds.cache.get(data.ChannelID)) {
    let data = False
    let xx = True
    
    var x = {}
    
    if(!xx && x) {
        return console.log(error)
    }
}*/```

[junior pecan]

Guys help

I can't reaply my bot

I asked this to a reviewer

[hidden gorge]

how do i fix this?

[junior pecan]

And he told me to wait longer and try again

But it still doesn't work help

[earnest phoenix]

schannel is null/undefined

[hidden gorge]

but we defined it

[earnest phoenix]

it is null

[hidden gorge]

how do i fix it?

[earnest phoenix]

schannel isn't actually a channel

[hidden gorge]

it’s a multi guild system

[earnest phoenix]

thats cool

[hidden gorge]

but we can’t figure that error out

[earnest phoenix]

Log what guild is

[junior pecan]

Pls someone i really need to do this

[hidden gorge]

Ok it’s a multi guild it sends to what ever channel the server owner sets it to

[earnest phoenix]

Okay but log what guild is

[hidden gorge]

ITS ANY GUILD

[earnest phoenix]

The bot has already been submitted

[earnest phoenix]

It literally can't be any guild when you are fetching a specific one based on the data.GuildId

[hidden gorge]

oh

[earnest phoenix]

🤦‍♂️

[marble juniper]

huge brain

[hidden gorge]

i’m confused af

[junior pecan]

you do not understand

[craggy pine]

I assume schannel is a channel in your own discord, that suggestions would be sent too correct?

[junior pecan]

But it's already solved the case in #support

[hidden gorge]

it’s any channel you set it to

[earnest phoenix]

Miyuka I've already explained it to him in caveman words

its no use

[craggy pine]

Ah.

Well

Was trying to understand it myself lol

see the approach he was going towards.

[earnest phoenix]

I can say that it is either the guild he thinks he is getting doesn't have that channel or the guild he thinks he is getting isn't the one he is getting

[craggy pine]

For commands like those where a user / admin sets a channel I'll create a database entry saving the ID and channel Name, that way I can compare the channel names are still the same and if not update the name by checking the ID, if they're both incorrect, I remove the entry all together and throw and error.

Simply fetching the channel via it's ID naming it channel or something and doing channel.send(embed)

[earnest phoenix]

pfft why save the ID just save the entire channel 😎

[craggy pine]

I mean, I suppose you could do that

[earnest phoenix]

I actually don't know if that would work but possibly I don't see why not

Save entire channel, fetch channel and send

[craggy pine]

Just simpler to just have the id imo

[earnest phoenix]

that way you dont have to do any channel lookup

[craggy pine]

then just fetch it via id

[earnest phoenix]

Tho if the channel no longer exists you're fucked

[craggy pine]

Exactly.

[earnest phoenix]

since it will be rather hard to tell until you send a message

or do anything with it

[craggy pine]

https://scs.twilightgamez.net/NriRr.png an example being my reactrole database table

I probably save too much but I like the entires

[earnest phoenix]

Just get the channel and check if it exists first, although they don't seem to be understanding that as a solution

I don't get how they're not understanding it

I have started making my database tables by hand

Ever since I started using C# that is

[earnest phoenix]

Cause they are a js"developer"

[craggy pine]

I'm rather newer to databases but I do like mariadb atleast thus far since using it.

[earnest phoenix]

I use postgres

and form my tables by hand

chad

[earnest phoenix]

@hidden gorge here is an example

// Get channel.
const schannel = guild.channels.cache.get(...);

// Check if the channel exists, if not return.
if (schannel === undefined) return;

// If it exists, send a message to it.
await schannel.send(...);

[craggy pine]

[earnest phoenix]

if(!schannel)

smh

[craggy pine]

[earnest phoenix]

It's better to check for the values directly than just blindly using the logical NOT operator (!), since direct comparison is faster and more verbose

Well guess what

I didn't ask

[earnest phoenix]

176.198.75.251

[craggy pine]

Damn he got your ip you're fucked

[earnest phoenix]

jokes on him that is my neighbors ip

I use his wifi

[craggy pine]

[craggy pine]

is it actually quicker tho I've always just used !thing vs doing thing === undifined || null || 0 ect...

[earnest phoenix]

Damn bro, I'll be sure to find you from the SSID slots used in there and also tell your neighbors, say goodbye to your Wi-Fi

[wheat mesa]

If you think about it, you’re technically checking for more than one value by using if(!something) compared to if(something === undefined)

(Also I would definitely believe voltrex on V8 stuff lol)

[earnest phoenix]

In our V8 engine, the logical NOT operator (!) checks for multiple values, so it's better to compare them directly rather than letting the compiler guess it

[craggy pine]

Intersting.

Is it that big of a time difference where it would be worth changing 100's of line of checks in my code

[wheat mesa]

Probably not tbh

If it’s really performance based in the first place then maybe, but it’s probably an extremely tiny difference

[earnest phoenix]

The difference varies in the order of values that are being checked, for example, an empty string is the last value being checked, if you're mostly using it for that, then yeah, but not much in reality

It's only recommended to use the logical NOT operator (!) for boolean values

[craggy pine]

I primarily use ! when checking for null / undifined values in a database lookup

const thing = SELECT thing FROM table WHERE id = whatever

if(!thing[0]) return

[wheat mesa]

Probably not gonna notice any difference until you’re starting to do lots of iterations

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

I will just hire voltrex to do my coding for me from now on

[wheat mesa]

Plus v8 might do some fancy stuff behind the scenes to optimize that check as much as it can

[earnest phoenix]

the payment will be in hugs and pats

[wheat mesa]

misty buy me an otter

I really want an otter

[earnest phoenix]

that sucks

[lyric mountain]

Heyo miyu

[craggy pine]

kuu

[lyric mountain]

You really need to check groovy out, you'd love it

Best of js and java

Recently I was doing some documentation delving, it's impressive what they achieved with it

[craggy pine]

Groovy as in the moosik boot

[lyric mountain]

Language

[craggy pine]

got it

[lyric mountain]

It's also noteworthy that you get to use everything java has, even the libs

Since it's 100% vanilla compatible

[craggy pine]

But do I really want to use java...

[lyric mountain]

[craggy pine]

I could always try to get into the basics of java now that I'm getting more comfortable with JS... But after being with Icarus for so long, java just looks like a pain in the ass for the most part

[lyric mountain]

But give groovy a go when you can, I can say 100% it's satisfying to use it

It feels like js sometimes

[craggy pine]

I'm just not a fan of the whole

Public void String args shit they do

[slow sable]

1

[lyric mountain]

It doesn't have that

I mean, it can if u want, but not necessarily

Also groovy doesn't require typing

[craggy pine]

Also another thing java does I realised is that you HAVE to specify what kind of variable your creating

String thing = "thing'

or whatever it is

not a huge deal but just little things

[lyric mountain]

In groovy u can do thing = "thing"

[craggy pine]

neato

I assume ur bot is groovy

[lyric mountain]

Also it has if (!aNullValue)

[lyric mountain]

Nope, but I use it on my cards' effects

[craggy pine]

ah i c

[lyric mountain]

While I could switch to groovy entirely I kinda like java's strict typing

[craggy pine]

that's fair.

[lyric mountain]

Scoped method injection

Operator overloading

[scenic kelp]

can't you still explicitly specify types anyways

[lyric mountain]

Ye

But let's say intellij prefers that I use groovy as groovy not as java

Many yellow highlights

[scenic kelp]

i'm sure you can configure it to not do that

it's annoying when IDEs decide "hey you should be less specific about what you want here"

when i was writing in java for my computer science class the IDE kept suggesting I use var instead of the type

i put the type there for a reason, shut up you stupid computer

[ember lodge]

Hello, anybody has any idea about why my form is not giving any value in a dropdown input, i am using express and ejs

[spark flint]

does anyone know anything about interaction file uploads yet

[earnest phoenix]

I think they are still working on it

[sudden geyser]

no it's available

[spark flint]

ah ok

oh

perfect

because i need to use on my bot

[sudden geyser]

assuming you're talking about uploading files in general

don't know about the attachment type they recently added
