When u load ALL members into the cache you're effectively destroying your whole process by flooding it with data that'll only be used once
If you're up to sacrificing accuracy you can iterate over all guilds and get the memberCount value
But that's also slow depending on how many guilds you have
The fastest way would be to get rowcount if you use some kind of relational database
fickle arch
does getting overall members count from all guild is faster or
lyric mountain
That only if you use some kind of leveling or economy
lyric mountain
does getting overall members count from all guild is faster or
Faster than retrieving all members yes, but less accurate
At the end of the day, is it really important to show member count?
fickle arch
well gonna use that option for now probably
lyric mountain
Like, nobody cares about member count, it's just a big value thay you cound make up and nobody would know
fickle arch
At the end of the day, is it really important to show member count?
I'm just testing on bot activity part.
lyric mountain
"testing" yes, I saw that story a few months ago
But anyway, you do you
Just remember it's a somewhat costly operation
fickle arch
I see, sorry if I'm bothering you, I'm kinda new on bot developing.
quartz kindle
client.guilds.cache.reduce((a,b) => a + b.memberCount, 0)
its fine to use that, thats what i use too
its not 100% accurate, but it its 99% accurate most of the time
snow urchin
Anyone here work with NextJS at all, and would know how to workaround this issue?
lyric mountain
I see, sorry if I'm bothering you, I'm kinda new on bot developing.
Not really bothering, it's good to be curious
Sorry if it sounded too harsh
fickle arch
`client.guilds.cache.reduce((a,b) => a + b.memberCount, 0)`
this only show overall members from all guild bot are in right ?
quartz kindle
this only show overall members from all guild bot are in right ?
yes
lament rock
if the members were sent to the client
ah nvm. memberCount is static guild prop
I wish they'd rename the property to approximate_member_count like they do with invites
fickle arch
also how do I make bot grab guild id, is it using fetch() ?
fickle arch
like any ?
craggy pine
If it's the guild a command is ran in, it would be simply something like message.guild.id, anything else you can fetch.
fickle arch
I mean like, the bot is in A server and try to get the guild id without providing the id.
quartz kindle
it all depends on the context
craggy pine
quartz kindle
what is your starting point?
if its a message the bot received, then its message.guild.id
if its an interaction, then its interaction.guild.id
if is a voicestateUpdate then etc...
lyric mountain
client.guilds.cache.random().id lol
Js has random() for collections?
They have it too easy tsk tsk
lament rock
Collection<K, V> is an arbitrary class extending Map<K, V>. It's up to the implementer to add helper functions like random. Map's prototype is relatively small
lyric mountain
Js has generics (the types I mean)?
lament rock
Yes and no
its a typescript concept, but it's a paradigm that applies to anything logic based
Map.get(key: K) where K is usually a string
it's arbitrary, but the concept is there
A Map can also have mixed keys which makes things complicated, but JS isn't type safe

Are you sure the message you're referring to has an embed
slender thistle
Try printing message.embeds, maybe even the message ID and verify that the message you're getting is the one you want

Is it possible to interact with a .html file using NodeJS? Ex:
myDocument.js:
const htmlFile = require("index.html");
module.exports.myFunc = myFunc;
function myFunc() {
// do smth
return "hi!";
}
index.html:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>
<script>
const myDocument = require("myDocument.js");
let smth = myDocument.myFunc();
</script>
</body>
</html>
No, you can include js files with <script src="./path-to-file.js"></script> Otherwise if you wanna link things together like it's nodejs you can look into bundlers like https://vitejs.dev/
or you can use js modules which is probably a better idea
fickle arch
what's the use of message.guild.id ?
civic scroll
to identify the guild in which the message was sent
fickle arch
I try to make the bot find modlog channel to see the config of the bot in the server
civic scroll
then store the configs in a database
each server's config being stored with the server id as key and value being be config
fickle arch
using db.get ?
civic scroll
depends on the API
fickle arch
.addField('Mod Log Channel', `${db.get(`modlogchannel_${message.guild.id}`)}`)
tried this and it's said null
civic scroll
because you hhaven't saved it
sick agate
```.addField('Mod Log Channel', `${db.get(`modlogchannel_${message.guild.id}`)}`...
write something then
it doesnt exist in database soo add a fallback for it
fickle arch
write something then
the modlog channel already set
fickle arch
also prefix is null despite I try change the prefix
civic scroll
if that db is stored in RAM
you are out of luck
you have nothing to store it persistently on disk
fickle arch
```js
db.set(`modlogchannel_${message.guild.id}`);
```
add this on like prefix, modlog function ?
civic scroll
so when the bot process ends, all db data goes with it
fickle arch
sort off ?
civic scroll
but where do you store it on disk
how else is the bot gonna pick up the config when it boots up
define db: runtimeDatabase {
when update {
update data, this
update data, storage
return true unless exception: false
}
}
define storage: persistentStorage
when bot boots up {
copy storage -> db
}
define cmd {
when set (args)
bool status <- call db.set, args
if (bool is true)
send Message
otherwise
}
assume let's not care about persistent storage, that should work

so guys
I'm using a cli
on nodejs
does anyone know how to possible center the text? :/
I mean I already found a way to center the text kinda, get the width of the window and divide it by half
but what if there's a text on both sides
ancient nova
html text?
nope
it's the cli app I sent before, I'm trying to fix some stuff in the GUI
hold on let me take a screenshot
I came up with something
I'm about to test it right now
hopefully it works
well almost?????????
I'll post my code, but beware, it's very very very very bad, and very bloated
const usernameCenterResult =
`${cyan(">")}` +
" ".repeat (15 - `Username: ${Username}`.length / 2) +
`Username: ${Username}` +
" ".repeat (15 - `Username: ${Username}`.length / 2) +
`${cyan("<")}`
const typeCenterResult =
`${cyan(">")}` +
" ".repeat (15 - `Type: ${Username != "Zero" ? "Account" : "Admin"}`.length / 2) +
`Type: ${Username != "Zero" ? "Account" : "Admin"}` +
" ".repeat (15 - `Type: ${Username != "Zero" ? "Account" : "Admin"}`.length / 2) +
`${cyan("<")}`
const prefixCenterResult =
`${cyan(">")}` +
" ".repeat (15 - `Prefix: ${Prefix}`.length / 2) +
`Prefix: ${Prefix}` +
" ".repeat (15 - `Prefix: ${Prefix}`.length / 2) +
`${cyan("<")}`
centerText += "\n" + centerAlignText(usernameCenterResult);
centerText += "\n" + centerAlignText(typeCenterResult);
centerText += "\n" + centerAlignText(prefixCenterResult);
please don't kill me I know it's bad
if anyone can fix it, I'd be really grateful to you

I'm utilizing Express to host a web server, but I keep getting the error that there isn't any Access-Control-Allow-Origin header even though I set one.

and please use smaller variable names
like, they need to be descriptive, but not THAT descriptive

terminal support newline

else it won't break at the right spot
ancient nova
or if u must, you need to calculate how many characters can fit in the terminal ...

the username bit is a bit off center
also why is the entire thing a bit of center
it couldn't be ansi codes could it?
wheat mesa
ANSI codes just affect color in your case
ancient nova
yep, however their pure form has a bunch more chars
centerText += "\n" + centerAlignText(`${cyan(">")}${padCenter(`Username: ${Username}`, 15)}${cyan("<")}`);
centerText += "\n" + centerAlignText(`${cyan(">")}${padCenter(`Type: ${Username != "Zero" ? "Account" : "Admin"}`, 15)}${cyan("<")}`);
centerText += "\n" + centerAlignText(`${cyan(">")}${padCenter(`Prefix: ${Prefix}`, 15)}${cyan("<")}`);
char count
ancient nova
and since this is how I'm putting the code do you think it affects?
lyric mountain
you see, even doesn't have a center
1 2 3 4 5 -> the center is 3
1 2 3 4 5 6 -> the center is either 3 or 4
so you need to adjust the > < based on how many chars there are
ancient nova
that's fine, I'll just increase the number a bit it so it won't be as noticable
lyric mountain
why don't u put them 1 char away from the text?
the way it is currently is a bit "stiff"
ancient nova
centerText += "\n " + centerAlignText(`${cyan(">")}${padCenter(`Username: ${Username}`, 20)}${cyan("<")}`);
centerText += "\n " + centerAlignText(`${cyan(">")}${padCenter(`Type: ${Username != "Zero" ? "Account" : "Admin"}`, 20)}${cyan("<")}`);
centerText += "\n " + centerAlignText(`${cyan(">")}${padCenter(`Prefix: ${Prefix}`, 20)}${cyan("<")}`);
what do you mean?
lyric mountain
> Username: Zero <
> Type: Admin <
> Prefix: - <
that's how I had it before
it doesn't look good
wait you mean to add one more char to the width between username and zero?
what if I add a text that is gonna make it even
lyric mountain
hmm not really what I meant
> Username: __________ <
like, reserve a fixed size
and fit the username there
ancient nova
ohhhhh
I'd still have to calculate the size of the text to fill it up with spaces later, no?
also what if the text is too big
actually what IF it is even if the code you gave me
it might break
lyric mountain
also what if the text is too big
well, that's a tricky detail
btw just a little nitpick, but console commands are supposed to be -h and --help
single for single, double for multi
ancient nova
it's fine I'm not trying to make it accurate
I know I'm asking for too much, but
is it possible to make everything line up with "username"

Ofcourse on a file that has 3k lines.

this is what I'm loading

then with js you can easily insert elements on the page

with a data-only json payload, he'll be able to at most insert curses or plain malicious links (not clickable unless put inside <a>)
and of course, in both cases he'd be able to steal the transferred data (that's why u don't transfer sensitive data unencripted)
rose lance
so lets say I am gonna make it json instead, so my api returns the response below, how would I use that to get html code?
{'list': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0]}
lyric mountain
first of all you'd not have 'list'
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0] is enough, it's a valid json
after u retrieve that data, parse it into an array and use js to insert the elements (on raw html)
or use the appropriate approach depending on your front-end framework
rose lance
ok I've rewrote it to create the html within the function, this is ok?
async function fetch_list(el) {
const response = await fetch('/api/getlist').then((response) => response.json());
const base_container = document.getElementById(el);
response.map(value => {
var container = document.createElement("div");

Having an existential crisis on enmap database here
When anyone creates a new join-to-create setup, it sets in the database
The thing is it doesn't push the database to the host because the code's hosted in Heroku from GitHub
It doesn't auto-update the enmap database files from my initial code
Not sure if I should go back to self-hosting though as it may provide major downtimes for my discord bot.

idk how big enmap databases are, but you could use services that have an upload api
obviously, encrypt the database before uploading
then every time you start your bot just download it
there's a catch tho
you'd need to upload on a regular basis because heroku has random micro-restarts
that also means sometimes losing unsaved data

unless you're in the web

context?
i have a command that can raise two errors. Error 1 is specific to that command Error 2 is missing arguments which is more common error. Now i have added a local handler for this command that only handles the error thats specific to it and not the missing arguemnt error which, is handled by global error handler as its required for apprx. every command.
THis specific error is just missing arguments error but with more explanation. For Example : ?cmd <parameter1> <parameter2> will raise missing arguments error when any argument is missing.
Accourding to that, will want to send a message explaining why that parameter is required and what to add as paramter. This explanation is specific for each command and thus can't be managed in global handler. But there are some commands taht don't require any explanation. Those should be handled by global handler saying argument is missing.
```will raise error like this :
``` param 2 is a required parameter because its needed for <reason> and you have to enter <details> there.
```whereas
`?cmd3 __`
doesn't require explanation so the missing arguments error will be handled by global handler like this
Looks like you forgot to pass a parameter

from the server you would send each 'chunk' of data to the client. your client would then take each chunk, and put it into the buffer/create a buffer from it, and you can then use that buffer to save, playback, whatever.

like, if your just wanting to stream data from your server to the client, thats only one server, no?
simple stump
like, if your just wanting to stream data from your server to the client, thats ...
Essentially I'm utilizing the library WebTorrent which creates an HTTP server with the link to the original file. I can scrape that link, but it leads to no where. So I devised the idea of getting the buffer of the torrent and then streaming it by creating a new HTTP server. I can't use WebTorrent in the browser because WebRTC doesn't work, so I have to do all this work in the backend.
neat ingot
so your basically creating a server to act as a proxy between torrents? ๐
simple stump
axios({ method: 'post', url: "http://localhost:3000/api/users", data: { title: links[0].text, magnet: links[0].url }} ).then(async(res) => {
let port = res.data.id;
let server = torrent.createServer();
server.listen(port, async() => {
const http = require("http");
http.createServer(function(request, response) {
}).listen(port);
});
There's a bit more to it, but that's the general idea.

i dont believe http supports pipelining. not sure imma do some research on that. worst case ill just use express
also the fetch part is sending an http request to the localhost server or wherever the buffer is stored? sorry not sure if i interpreted that correctly or not
wait nvm i saw the link you sent mb.
dang thats unfortunate. nvm imma use express then
neat ingot
express isn't bad ๐
almost all my sites/api's use it
really nice optional url parameters and such
simple stump
haha. thats true ive used it a bit. im just having a bit of issue cause every time a new torrent is requested i create a new port
which prob isnt a good idea but express can only listen to 1 port i believe
i tried having it listen to all ports but that didnt seem to work haha
neat ingot
you could umm
might make things large than you anticipated
but you could use something like docker to spin up containers (instances of your torrent server)
thats likely way more work though ๐

heroku uses an ephemeral file system, they are the ones deleting your data, if you move to a vps it wont be deleted

planning to move into vps, after testing it with heroku.
if you plan staying at heroku then switch to an actual db like mongo/psql/mysql/mssql
if you're moving to vps don't bother (as tim said sqlite works fine on any system that doesn't delete files)
If you're testing then having the data on heroku for 24 hours should be good enough for testing/ building

why?

I can't get them before getting the json first, no?

you can check statuscode before json, and you can check length before map

In the nFilter function, how can I check if the nInt member id is equal to the member id in n?

even so how would that help in solving the value error?
quartz kindle
even so how would that help in solving the value error?
idk what the actual error is, but i can identify possible points of failure, for example the request can fail, the json can fail and the response can be invalid or not an array
you cant trust the api to always give you what they are supposed to

agreed that's why I also decided to try scrapping the body of the webpage (not the api) and then use regex to turn it into a json
however it gives me the same issue
it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't

nFilter is not a valid collector option

You already are, the filter option should be named as filter, not nFilter; or you can also do filter: nFilter
ancient nova
should I just try catch that and give an error of API being unavailable if I ever get that error?
quartz kindle
let response;

console.log("not an array");
return;
}
let result = response.map(value => value?.name_value?.split("\n").filter(x => !x.startsWith("*")) || []).flat();
``` these are a few checks you can add for exampleI forgot that they've added the "?" check
how does it work again?
also can I just get rid of the try catch since I have a handler, it will give me the error anyway
quartz kindle
a?.b is the same as a ? a.b : undefined

you probably need to add fetchReply: true

ancient nova
having both return and else for no reason is not decent
ACTUALLY, should I just combine all of the if statements into a switch case? right now there's 3 of them, but I bet I can come up with a fourth check to fill it up
quartz kindle
it doesnt matter
ancient nova
but it will look better
feral aspen
Slower, though, I think.
ancient nova
switch cases are actually faster
quartz kindle
Still, same error?
console.log(n)
feral aspen
console.log(n)
Yeah, I put that in all the places, and undefined.
ancient nova
also I would leave the default to be the rest of the code
so if it doesn't stop somewhere in the switch it will just run the code
that's pretty smart ngl
quartz kindle
Yeah, I put that in all the places, and undefined.
and you added fetchReply?
show code
feral aspen
Yes.

nCollector.on('collect', (aCode) => ctr = aCode.content);

resolve(null);

the code is pretty neat I like it
feral aspen
Isn't it the job of filters?
quartz kindle
dont you want to filter for the channel id and the member id?

Why not just use the createMessageCollector() method instead of the constructor?
earnest phoenix
Message component collects the message interaction components, not the message which I suppose is what they want, but yeah the awaitMessages() method is also a good option
feral aspen
I'm collecting a message, only, and applying filters.

Using padding/margin for your element
And <hr /> is an horizontal line (break), it has nothing to do with indentation

For example
<span style="margin-left: 20px;">text first tab</span>
You may wanna define some CSS rules for it
