development

[sudden geyser]

oh a dsl

[lyric mountain]

means the command requires the first argument to be a text

I can put any amount of tags, each will define what argument is expected at that position

I can also supply any amount of signatures, the parser will get the first valid one

[slender wagon]

What i plan on doing is make a script that creates work shifts for everyone

For a team in this case

And basically make it so when i want lets say monday morning off it will format the shifts that way so it wont bother the other workers

[sudden geyser]

bot maker

[slender wagon]

Visual Studio Code

[lyric mountain]

for example

[sudden geyser]

depends

do you want to write an actual program

[lyric mountain]

I could supply s!welcome clear and it'd pick the third signature

[sudden geyser]

or use some helper / blocks language

[slender wagon]

botghost

Jk

Ik the guy that made that

😂

Yeah its a joke if u wanna learn programming too chose visual studio code and watch a tutorial

[lyric mountain]

depends on the lang and platform

you wouldn't use vscode on mobile

oh damn

[sudden geyser]

please don't suggest java

[slender wagon]

I would suggest rust

[lyric mountain]

hava

so @slender wagon, if u want I can help u with java or groovy (depends on whether u want to go full static or stay dynamic)

[slender wagon]

Which one is the most requested

Or the best in your opinion

[lyric mountain]

java ofc, groovy is more like a java dlc

[slender wagon]

I will learn java ofc

💀

Is java ofc hard to learn

[lyric mountain]

not really

u said u have c# knowledge already, so you'll find it pretty familiar

[slender wagon]

Mhm

So basically my schedule is fucked

Thats why i am organizing the shifts and making an app for it

After that i will hit u up

[wheat mesa]

Java is really easy

[lyric mountain]

sure

[wheat mesa]

Java is the ultimate data structures lang

[slender wagon]

Which database goes the best with it

[lyric mountain]

since java has jpa, the answer is "any"

[slender wagon]

💀 💀

[sudden geyser]

you mean jdbc?

[lyric mountain]

no, I mean jpa

java persistence api

it's like the official java data access standard

[wheat mesa]

Bite the bullet and learn a language. Building a discord bot with blocks is going to make you hate development

[lyric mountain]

then there are its providers, like hibernate and spring

[sudden geyser]

hmm

[slender wagon]

Not his fault someone suggested that

💀

[wheat mesa]

Someone... suggested... THAT????

[slender wagon]

The smart init

[lyric mountain]

a simple ban command will look like picasso

[wheat mesa]

oh my god

[wheat mesa]

A real language

[slender wagon]

😂 😂 😂

[wheat mesa]

Javascript, python, Java, literally anything but those shitty “build your own discord bot” websites

[lyric mountain]

js/py/j are pretty much the entry points of programming

[slender wagon]

I couldn't code either

[wheat mesa]

Yes you can, you just don’t want to put in the time it takes :p

[lyric mountain]

not with that atitude

[slender wagon]

How old is u

[lyric mountain]

everyone has to start somewhere

[wheat mesa]

Anyone can code, you just have to actually start with it

[slender wagon]

I started coding when i was 13 or 14

[wheat mesa]

Instead of telling yourself that you can’t do it

I started programming when I was 15

Now I’m 16

[lyric mountain]

don't rely on youtube

[slender wagon]

Started it with the OG c#

Playing around at first

[lyric mountain]

use actual courses and doc

damn even stack will be better

[wheat mesa]

Don’t use block languages

Like scratch

Those don’t teach you anything

[lyric mountain]

scratch that idea

[wheat mesa]

It’s good for 11 year olds, but for a discord bot? Nope

Just by doing it

And asking for help

[slender wagon]

Doing i

??

[lyric mountain]

well, start with the bare minimum idea, go up as you learn

begin with a simple "Hello World" program (important step)

[slender wagon]

@earnest phoenix install nodejs install vsc and then google how to get started on making your own bot with discord.js

[lyric mountain]

look, the easier something is, the less freedom you'll have

[slender wagon]

Either that or python

I would suggest nodejs

[lyric mountain]

scratch is easy, but you're terribly capped in what u can do

[slender wagon]

Just google it

First thing

[lyric mountain]

are u on pc?

discord app or browser?

open the browser (blank page), press F12, click on console

play with it, that's a javascript console

no installation required

[slender wagon]

And insert this code.....

💀

[slender wagon]

I see what u did there lmao

[lyric mountain]

don't expect it to give u a finished code btw

[slender wagon]

Read abt js too

[lyric mountain]

you'll be writing the same JS as the one you'd use on the console

it's better to learn JS first before u start dealing with dependencies and whatnots

[neat ingot]

anyone genuinely interested in creating a bot maker type app that doesnt suck? hmu 😘

[sick agate]

no

[lyric mountain]

I mean, they suck because they use building-block methods, a bot maker without building blocks would be raw programming

[neat ingot]

there is a middleground

someone just has to make it

[sick agate]

i dont think there is

[lyric mountain]

building blocks, not building blocks and null

[neat ingot]

well. i know there is. im literally planning the design for it, have been for a few weeks 😄

it just depends on how you tackle the issue

[sick agate]

then show me the middle ground

[neat ingot]

i'd rather show someone who was genuinely interested in helping development 😛

[lyric mountain]

the schrodinger's middle ground

[neat ingot]

😂

[lyric mountain]

oh it also allows supplying a list of valid values

[neat ingot]

what is this?

some custom intellisense thing?

[lyric mountain]

my custom command signature dsl

[sick agate]

cool

[lyric mountain]

ah that's bcuz I wrote my own syntax checker for it

[sick agate]

i wouldnt be bothered enough for that honestly

[lyric mountain]

by those signatures, valid commands would be```
!command
!command limpar
!command clear
!command some big text

[sick agate]

oh b

[lyric mountain]

anything else would throw a syntax error

[neat ingot]

your not using slash commands now?

[lyric mountain]

nope bcuz they are quite limited regarding variable signatures

[neat ingot]

yea this is true

[lyric mountain]

like, a command can only have 1 signature, and u can't have mutually required arguments

like if A is supplied, B is required

[neat ingot]

yea, that annoys me occasionally too lol

[wheat mesa]

Just write your own discord client with a parser built into it

[neat ingot]

like, why cant i show b only when a == x

[lyric mountain]

also when they add such features, I can just use my parser to compile those signatures into slashes too

so it's two birds with a single rock

[neat ingot]

yea thats fair

[lyric mountain]

that'd be possible with my parser

{
"<argA:any>[x] <argB:any:r> <argC:any:r>",
"<argA:any> <argC:any:r>"
}

if the arguments match the first signature, B is required

[neat ingot]

yea, but i want it to be natively supported in slash commands 😄

[lyric mountain]

ik lul

one day maybe

[neat ingot]

hopefully

[lyric mountain]

ye, it works perfectly

[raven holly]

Does somebody now how to fix this ```import Event from './event-handler';
import Deps from '../../utils/deps';

~~~~~~~

[lyric mountain]

private?

in js?

[raven holly]

this is type script

but myb you know

[lyric mountain]

oh ok

validation is undefined

[raven holly]

hm

where should i define them

[lyric mountain]

since validate is a promise, just use .catch(err => ...)

no need for try-catch

[raven holly]

so this

[lyric mountain]

nono

[raven holly]

then how xD

[lyric mountain]

FROM
-----------------------------
if (savedGuild.autoMod.enabled) {
  try {
    await this.autoMod.validate(msg, savedGuild);
  } catch (validation) {
    await msg.channel.send(`> ${validation.message}`);
  }
}

TO
-----------------------------
if (savedGuild.autoMod.enabled) {
  await this.autoMod.validate(msg, savedGuild).catch(err => await msg.channel.send(`> ${err.message}`));
}

[raven holly]

ou okay

but what about this

[lyric mountain]

where is that?

[raven holly]

sec

this is part

      const content = error?.message ?? 'Un unknown error occurred.';      
      await msg.channel.send(`> :warning: ${content}`);
    }
  }```

[lyric mountain]

that error comes because no valid error object is thrown

so you can't grab a message from it

you need to use async .catch like I did above

[raven holly]

but here you don't use validation

for example here i need validation

[lyric mountain]

validation is err in that case

just changed the name to make more sense

[raven holly]

ou hahaha

idk i downalod dashboard that some people use

is 2pg

but how to convert all of this to one line like you ```catch (validation) {
if (guild.autoMod.autoDeleteMessages)
await msg.delete({ reason: validation.message });

    if (guild.autoMod.autoWarnUsers && msg.member)
      await this.warn(msg.member, {
        instigator: msg.client.user,
        reason: validation.message
      });
    throw validation;
  }```

[lyric mountain]

try {
  await something
} catch (error) {
  fallback
}

is the same as ```
something.catch(error => fallback)

[raven holly]

ou okay

[quartz hill]

is it possible says user or bot with just user id ? (my eng not good sorry) (discordjs lib)

[quartz kindle]

no, you have to fetch

[rose warren]

Wait... 👀 So I was your inspiration?

[neat ingot]

lol yep. I seen your rpc activity one day and wanted to have my very own 😂

[rose warren]

[neat ingot]

im curious, how do you get your server count?

if you have to do it manually (which i doubt) my app could handle that for you if you have some endpoint setup to poll 😂

[old sigil]

    activity_string = '{} servers'.format(len(client.guilds))
    await client.change_presence(activity=discord.Activity(type=discord.ActivityType.playing, name=activity_string))

How to make a whois command? using py

[flat ridge]

I have a little custom bot script for my private server, where i can assign 1 bot per channels, but i can't get the invalidated event and i dont know when a bot token has changed, here is my code

Index main.js

const { Collection } = require('discord.js');

client.bots = new Collection()

Command login.js

client.bots.set(message.channel.id, new Client());

const bot = client.bots.get(message.channel.id);

bot.login(args[0]);

bot.on('ready', () => {
message.channel.send('Bot connected')
});

So here everything is fine, i can receive all events (messageCreate, guildCreate) ect..

But when i add

bot.on('invalidated', () => {
console.log('A token has been changed')
});

When i change the token of the bot, the event is not emitted, and in the collection everything still available, i can do bot.guilds.cache.size after changing the token, all i want is check when the client disconnect so i can delete the client in the collection.

If someone can help me it would be great

[pearl trail]

prob his bot have an api for stats and then in the RPC, make an interval request to that api

[boreal iron]

If you wanna remove a member who has left the guild then enable the member intent and listen to the guildMemberRemove event to the client ID you can also remove from your collection

The invalidated event will only fire for your connected client, your bot, not for other clients

[flat ridge]

but all my clients are connected and i get all events on every client, just not the invalidated event

[boreal iron]

Try to listen to the debug event and log what happens when you gonna change a token

[slender wagon]

why is there a increasing number of users doing this exact same thing

is this something that's going viral on youtube or something

[rose warren]

I have an internal API I just pull from.

But my rpc process also does daily local db backups so I don't have any reason to use anything else tbh

[vagrant prairie]

const express = require('express')
const Topgg = require('@top-gg/sdk')
const fetch = require('node-fetch')
const app = express()
const webhook = new Topgg.Webhook('h')
app.post('/vote', webhook.listener(async(vote) => { 
    var amnt = (Math.floor(Math.random() * 100000) + 10000);
    console.log("User with id - " + vote.user + " Voted!")
    let value = JSON.stringify({
        embeds: [
            {
                title: "Voted!",
                description: `<@${vote.user}> (${vote.user}) Just Voted For \`Disminer!\`!\nPrize : ${amnt} Money`,
                color: "8388736"
            }
        ]
    })
    fetch("webhook url", { 
        method: 'POST',
        headers: {
            'Content-type': 'application/json',
        },
        body: value
    }).catch(e => console.log('Error occured while posting webhook : ' + e))
    const economyy = require('./economy.js')
    await economyy.addCoins(vote.user, amnt)
}))
app.listen(19448)``` it used to work, now it doesnt, why? ii changed the ip before and it stopped working, i updated it tho

[jovial nexus]

how can i ping a user sending a message having the allowedMentions: { repliedUser: false } in the client? (in djs)

[rose warren]

You can override the client settings for this in your message options
https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/typedef/BaseMessageOptions

[raven holly]

Idk is this right place to aks,but I'm making discord bot,i finished it but i want to make dashboard for that.So can someone help me ?

[rose warren]

There are resources in the pinned messages which can help you build a website. A bot dash is basically a site that's linked to the same database as your bot so users can change their settings etc in their browser.

[raven holly]

Yes but i don't understand that hahahaja

For example https://github.com/SimonLeclere/discord-easy-dashboard/tree/ec8bf159e3d00d45e9a3832661408981367f275a

This is npm and is good but I don't get it about cookies and that that's why I ask for someone help hahahaj

[rose warren]

They seem to have their own documentation explaining that https://github.com/SimonLeclere/discord-easy-dashboard/blob/ec8bf159e3d00d45e9a3832661408981367f275a/docs/STORING_COOKIES.md

[raven holly]

Yes but i don't get it

@rose warren can you help me about dashboard part

[rose warren]

If there's a specific piece of code you're having an issue with you can post it here and explain your problem and someone might be able to help you

[raven holly]

Yes but i dont understand cookie part that they give at docs

[rose warren]

That's why I'd usually suggest coding your own site instead of cloning a GitHub repo because you'll learn a lot more by making it yourself and you'll also have a much better understanding of how it works.

[raven holly]

But I'm gonna go from scratch hqhahaja

I,m not gonna download his dashboard

I,m just gonna use his npm

But i,m gonna try something and let you know

[rose warren]

So I don't understand your question. Do you mean you don't know what cookies are for?

[raven holly]

Don't know how to implement ot

[rose warren]

That really depends on how you build your site, what language you use etc.

[raven holly]

Ou okay

I'm gonna try something and let you know if I need help

[rose warren]

Well I'm heading to work now but maybe someone else might be able to help!

[raven holly]

Ou okay

[rose warren]

Besides, I do all my web stuff in PHP so I doubt I'd be of much help

[raven holly]

Ou hahhaa

Butwhats best way for dashboaqrd

With php

[rose warren]

Have you used PHP before?

[raven holly]

Yep but not too much

I tried to make contact form

[rose warren]

Well that's pretty much the basics of a dashboard. All you need to learn is how to do a login system with Discord and you'll have the absolute basics. I'm pretty sure you could find some examples for PHP Discord login online.

[raven holly]

Ou okay hahaha

[rose warren]

Basically instead of sending the data from the form to an email address you'll be saving it to your database instead.

[stiff lynx]

I've just seen a bot with spaces between words in slash commands names, how is this possible?

If I try to do it I get errors

[split hazel]

@quartz kindle do you know any good hashing algorithms for turning a string into a number?

because i want to convert the column names into a hash since they're much faster to process than a sequence of characters

[fickle arch]

how to switch from quickdb to mongodb for economy system ?

[old cliff]

I deleted the ping wait xwass

The catch block returns undefined... the collector code is getting executed even if the catch is called

And you are returning undefined in the catch block

So dm is undefined

And you are accessing property channel of dm

Try using try catch and not using catch on the promise while sending the dm or create the collecter after the dm is successfully sent using then

[earnest phoenix]

i have problem

i have music bot and it has conifg.json with youtube cookie but when i run i get this https://uploadi.ng/88oggwBg

and it is inside "yt_cookie"

[fickle arch]

you mean youtube token ?

I have music feature either and it required youtube token for it to work

[stiff lynx]

How can I have spaces in slash commands name?

[rose warren]

Using subcommands

[neat ingot]

lol yea thats fair. doubling for db backups is also a nice touch. Tbh the only reason i kept making my app after i found out other apps like rpc maker existed, was so I could add the api polling and junk to it. 😂

[rose warren]

Yeah that's a good idea

[earnest phoenix]

youtube login cookie

[lyric mountain]

strings are just char arrays

just convert the char to byte and hash the array

[neat ingot]

the last time I had to convert things to chars... #memories...

10 points if you can guess what it does 😄

[fickle arch]

could I do this by changing require('quick.db') to ('../../database) since the database already linked to mongodb

[lyric mountain]

quick.db is sql-based, mongo is nosql-based

no, the change won't be as simple as "changing the require"

also why change?

quick.db IS bad, but it's more appropriate for relational data than mongo

[fickle arch]

because the bot I worked on is using heroku as host

[neat ingot]

heroku is good, but not for anything your wanting to run 24/7 imo

[lyric mountain]

no idea

[neat ingot]

unless your prepared to pay them through the butt

[fickle arch]

I've been told that quick.db is reliable if you already have your own vps to host the bot.

[neat ingot]

its part of my input system for rpg maker ace. it lets you add cheat codes to your game. that is an example cheat that opens iirc pxxnhub.com and pxxn.com 😂 (not x's obviously)

also had that one for lolz

[fickle arch]

I already host the other bot on that and so far works pretty well, but now I'm working on other one.

[lyric mountain]

any database (except mysql) is reliable if you have a vps

[fickle arch]

is it including quick.db ?

[lyric mountain]

quick.db isn't a db

quick.db is a library for sqlite

and it's terrible at that since it stores everything in a json column instead of using proper table structure

[neat ingot]

i was looking into sqlite, but paired with sequelize. not sure though, never tried either

[fickle arch]

what db economy system usually use ?

I'm still new on developing

[lyric mountain]

not necessarily economy, but postgres

[neat ingot]

the db you use does not matter. any decent db could be used to store any kind of data ~ within reasonable file sizes

[earnest phoenix]

i have economy bot and i am using MongoDB

[lyric mountain]

you see, you don't use a database "for X", you use it as a general storage mean

[neat ingot]

i also use mongodb, but i think most bots use do use sqlite?

[lyric mountain]

mostly use mongo probably, since it's the most appealing at start

and the bot market is saturated by people who choose the easy path

[fickle arch]

fetching the data using mongoose ?

[earnest phoenix]

No i am not using mongoose

[neat ingot]

i am 😛

[earnest phoenix]

https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongodb

[fickle arch]

I'll look into it

[neat ingot]

interesting. most of the open source bot code i've seen, and a lot that folks ahve shared here used sqlite.

[lyric mountain]

it's the same case as "the most spoken language in the world is mandarin"

not because it's a popular or good language

but because china has the biggest population in the world

[neat ingot]

lmao yea i guess thats fair 😄

[lyric mountain]

most of the bot devs are anonymous small devs that follow some kind of tutorial that suggest either quick.db or mongo

[earnest phoenix]

because too many people use quick.db and recommend it to others, increasing SQLite usage (and easy)

[neat ingot]

yea this is very likely the case

[lyric mountain]

and most use heroku or some other service that doesn't allow file-based storage

[fickle arch]

if I use quickdb and pull a build on the vps, would it rewrote it or not, because heroku did

[lyric mountain]

so they go for mongo unless using a vps

[fickle arch]

sorry if I'm kinda confusing with the question

[lyric mountain]

"pull a build"?

[neat ingot]

best host i've found so far is contabo. 5 euro a month for 4 core and 8gb ram. and the server i have at least is stable af! ❤️

[lyric mountain]

it is

[neat ingot]

imo, no point in using heroku when you can just buy 4core8gb for 5 euro a month

[fickle arch]

I mean like you fixed some code, and want to replace the old code with the new one

[lyric mountain]

heroku is great for on-demand apis

[lyric mountain]

Simple logger in javascript.

const colors = require("colors");

module.exports = function(logMessage, type = "info") {

    let logFormat;
    let logString;

    switch (type) {
        case "system":
            logFormat = colors.bgBlue(colors.white(colors.bold("[SYSTEM]")));
            logString = colors.white(logMsg);
    }
    console.log(logFormat, logString);
}

How to use if you're lazy like me
<client>.logger = require("logger.js");

In Cmd & Event Files
<client>.logger("something", "system");

[quartz kindle]

cryptographic hash or regular hash? how worried are you about collisions?

djb2 is one of the simplest and fastest ones out there

converts a string to int32

fnv1a is similar to djb2 but better and can be configured for different output bit length

[fickle arch]

how do I make bot send emoji from a server ?

this is my code and it came like this

    { name: "<"a:server:961990824902660156"> Servers:", value: `\`\`\`${servers_count}\`\`\``, inline: true },```

ignore the " between a to > because that's the server emoji ID

[old cliff]

Field titles cant have emojis as long as i remember

[fickle arch]

what part of embed could have emojis

[old cliff]

Uh... they can

[fickle arch]

🤔

[old cliff]

can you log the string?

[fickle arch]

what

[old cliff]

and are you sure the bot has perms to UseExternalEmojis?

[fickle arch]

does that include if bot has administrator ?

[old cliff]

yes admin has that

[fickle arch]

I'm pretty sure the bot has administrator.

[old cliff]

hmm try logging the string

[fickle arch]

how, I'm still new on developing

[old cliff]

console.log

[fickle arch]

something like this ?

putted this console.log("stats is working")

[split hazel]

very

like no collision acceptable

or well as many combinations as a 64bit int can have

[fickle arch]

nvm it worked, I put the wrong ID and just find the ID doing \ :emojiname:

[old cliff]

u really working on messages while using djs13?

your bot probably doesnt have timeout perms

[quartz kindle]

then you will need something like md5 or sha

anything 128bit+

if you think 64 bit is enough, fnv1a does have that option, but is not 100% collision-free

murmurhash is also a good option, or xxhash

or just use snowflakes lol

snowflakes are 100% colision-free

just not random

although they are not really a hash

[pale oasis]

Pulling a random post from reddit is always a pain.

this was fixed

even github dependabot had alerted and fixed it

[near stratus]

but it's in history
like even if node-ipc gets fixed will russians ever use it ?

[sick agate]

i highly doubt

[quartz kindle]

pretty sure it was already fixed

[sick agate]

it is kinda

[rocky hearth]

can I detect in a server, which page the request came from?

[sick agate]

?????

[boreal iron]

A lot of browsers provide the HTTP REFERER and a lot of browsers don’t send it for privacy reasons

It’s never guaranteed that you can get it or it’s accurate

You will also need to make sure the REFERER doesn’t contain your current domain name as jumping from one to another site will define the REFERER as your previous site if it’s been provided anyways

[rocky hearth]

ok thx

[atomic kindle]

I'm intrigued about the browsers not sending the referrer header due to privacy reasons. Could you cite some references for the same?

[atomic kindle]

If you'd like to verify a request came from your website you can use something called CSRF.

[sick agate]

yeah

[raw sigil]

i have this error

[lyric mountain]

nice error 👍

[raw sigil]

this is line

[lyric mountain]

yes, and that's a webhook leak

[earnest phoenix]

I would like to remind you to not leak your webhook token, even if replaced, it's still on the screenshot

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/discord.js/stable/class/WebhookClient

[raw sigil]

I'm deleting it anyway now

and thx for help

[boreal iron]

browsers like tor or brave tend to not send the referer (if possible) at least if it doesn't break known websites functionality

“2. Referrer Policy Changes

Last but not least, [...] has changed how it handles the referrer, or “referer” (sic),[5] policy. Our previous approach frequently broke websites, requiring users to turn off Shields to use a site, and so lose all privacy protections. Our new approach greatly reduces the number of broken sites, while still aggressively protecting your privacy.”

You can go and read that in the privacy informations of your browser

[atomic kindle]

So edge cases?

[boreal iron]

And/or simply edit the default policy yourself or addons (usually) do this job for users

[atomic kindle]

Because all decent and well known browsers, by default, will send the referrer header unless disallowed by policy or attributes.

[boreal iron]

As well as sending a request to the client, to not put your current location into the referer (if the browsers wants to follow this request)

[raw sigil]

/* SHARDS */
client.rocoShard = new Discord.WebhookClient("channelid",  "webhook token")

/* SHARDS */```

where is error?

From what I see, there's nothing wrong with that

[boreal iron]

Well we can call it edge cases, yeah

[earnest phoenix]

If you read the documentation, the first parameter takes an object with either the ID, URL or token

[boreal iron]

But you simply can not rely on an accurate referrer, never

[earnest phoenix]

new WebhookClient({ token: /* Your webhook token */ });

[boreal iron]

No matter it's been send with or not

[atomic kindle]

Yep. Can easily be forged and bob's your uncle

Could use CSRF tokens but I don't consider them very secure either

[raw sigil]

no channel id?

[earnest phoenix]

The channel ID isn't required since webhook tokens are only bound to a specific channel

[lyric mountain]

webhooks can be called even if ur not in the guild

that's the danger of exposing them

[earnest phoenix]

in v13 you can use like WebhookClient({ id:.., token: ... }) //or url

[raw sigil]

client.rocoShard = new WebhookClient({ id:962045626135216249, token:74oxOHF6RTJxS4bb7UoGaX_1Ng9LmtzgnHZIlzanIi9XS87GZIitjmIrPGposGMRipJ- })

[wheat mesa]

Leaked your token, you should change that

[boreal iron]

pass them as strings...

[raw sigil]

?

i have error on token

[wheat mesa]

Yes

You need to pass them as strings

The program doesn’t know how to parse your token without it being a string

[boreal iron]

stupid program doesn't know what I want to do

[wheat mesa]

Ikr

[raw sigil]

🙂

[wheat mesa]

Imagine if js allowed strings without quotes somehow

[boreal iron]

the poor fellow who needs to write the parser for it

[wheat mesa]

I would pity him

[boreal iron]

I'm sure Tim has some time left, to do the job

[wheat mesa]

Tim doesn’t need a parser

He IS the parser

[boreal iron]

As JS founder he should be interested in enveloping it

lmao

I forgot

[wheat mesa]

Tim scans through every js program ever run, that’s why he’s so busy all the time

[boreal iron]

And he benchmarks each app, don't forget about that

[wheat mesa]

Lol

Alright gotta go back to class 😔

[boreal iron]

oof

[wheat mesa]

We’re watching a Will Smith movie

In my next class

Lmao

[wheat mesa]

Also I was on lunch break I’m about to walk back into school

Not using my phone at school

Yet 😉

[sick agate]

[boreal iron]

I remember the time when phones didn't even were a thing

Actually nvm, my comp sci teacher uses Java

[boreal iron]

A time when we beat up other students just to pass the time

I don’t remember such a time because I was not alive

[boreal iron]

A time you still was some sort of fluid swimming around

You will learn more about that in school

[sick agate]

i have bringed my phone to school like 10 days at least

[boreal iron]

Don't wanna spoiler anything here

In express I'm trying to create a local file/folder. But since it's all handled server side, the folder doesn't exist. How can I solve this?

let title = someString.title.replace(/[^a-z0-9]/gi, '_').toLowerCase();
if (!fs.existsSync(join(__dirname, "../../web_server/myFolder/" + title))) {
  console.log("Creating folder...");
  await fs.mkdirSync(join(__dirname, "../../web_server/myFolder/" + title));
  console.log("Created folder " + title + ".");
}

Error:

Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, mkdir '/myFolder/folder_title'

    at C:\Users\path\myFile.js:202:38
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

[boreal iron]

errr just to say __dirname has no ending slash (or backslash on winstupid)

__dirname + "../../my/path" will end up being /home/this/dir../../my/path which isn't a valid path

[solemn latch]

does join not add /

[cinder patio]

it does

[wheat mesa]

Paths are so scuffed

[boreal iron]

well nvm then

[quartz kindle]

mkdir is not recursive by default, you need to add recursive: true

[earnest phoenix]

Yep, also you don't need to await the mkdirSync() method since it's synchronous

Is it possible to install an Ubuntu operating system on a USB and boot from there? If so, what are the precautions when doing so, do I like disconnect such SSDs and HDDs when I do so or?

[cinder patio]

Just create a bootable USB, plug it into ur PC and boot it

you don't have to do anything else

[feral aspen]

Are files on my SSD and HDD at risk when doing so?

Like opening a file via my ubuntu operating system?

[quartz kindle]

no

[feral aspen]

16GB is enough? I don't have 32GB. :/

Quick question, I have files on my desktop (ssd), when I boot from my USB (ubuntu), I can still access the files but not from the Ubuntu Desktop, true?

[split hazel]

you can access all the drives without an issue

[feral aspen]

Sweet.

[split hazel]

i've done this before (an ssd on the go)

works nicely

[feral aspen]

When I boot from the USB, does it work like windows, I have to setup an account, etc?

[split hazel]

yeah if i understand correctly

if you want persistance you need to launch an installer on another usb device and install it on the usb you want to boot from

do note that will wear out flash drives quickly (especially cheap ones)

[feral aspen]

Pardon?

What do you mean "wear out"?

[split hazel]

flash drives have a limited life cycle, they can only read and write so many times before they stop holding their charge and die

the length depends on the manufacturer

[cinder patio]

16GB is more than enough most of the time. Depends on the OS

[feral aspen]

Rufus has finished.

[quartz kindle]

do you want a full mobile ubuntu installation?

because the ubuntu installer already has a "live disk" functionality, that you can run ubuntu from the disk without installing it

[split hazel]

yeah - i was talking in case they wanted persistance which would make things different

i tried some of the live boot persistence but it usually just crashes for me

[cinder patio]

live boot is meant just to test if the OS is compatible with your hardware and if drivers and everything is set up correctly

[lyric mountain]

or to unbrick ur os

[feral aspen]

What is it doing?

[lyric mountain]

something

probably

[cinder patio]

Checking disks

[feral aspen]

The USB?

.. or my SSD?

I'm booting from USB.

[split hazel]

ah

its doing a checksum

to check if all files on the usb are intact

[feral aspen]

Oh.. I could've done that on Rufus.

[split hazel]

it will do it regardless

its a safety measure

[feral aspen]

Aha.

[split hazel]

so it doesnt break mid installation due to a corrupted file

[feral aspen]

I'm just worried that I may lose my files.

Which it won't.

[split hazel]

nah dont worry it wont touch your files i've done it many times

[feral aspen]

👍

[split hazel]

just make sure you distinguish your drives apart

[feral aspen]

What?

[split hazel]

such as when doing things that require modifying the drive make sure you choose the correct drive

[feral aspen]

"No errors found" thats great.

Which one. ._.

Kind of trying and not demolishing my SSD.

[cinder patio]

Try

[split hazel]

what are you trying to do again

[cinder patio]

Installing clears your entire SSD

[feral aspen]

HELL NO.

[cinder patio]

Make sure to make a backup of ur SSD if you're so worried you'll fuck something up

[feral aspen]

Well that finished quick.

[split hazel]

does it make you feel better that ssds are very difficult to deep wipe because of volatile caching

not like that would stop you from losing everything tho

[feral aspen]

Works great.

[lyric mountain]

that window, that little window

is the best thing you'll use, ever

[feral aspen]

Terminal?

[cinder patio]

eh I'd use a different distro for a personal computer

[split hazel]

gnome 💀

[feral aspen]

Yup, I installed it for that. 😂

[lyric mountain]

Mr. Terminal, have respect

[cinder patio]

ubuntu's a little bloated

[split hazel]

just a little

[feral aspen]

Alright, enough. Back to windows.

My files are alive in windows.

[cinder patio]

Why'd you do that?

[feral aspen]

I'm just checking if I corrupted or lost anything while booting from the USB.

[lyric mountain]

Forgive him lord terminal, for he doesn't know what he says.

[feral aspen]

For my safety, honestly.

[feral aspen]

Nah, I won't forget the terminal, the entire purpose was to checkout the terminal, honestly. 😂

[cinder patio]

I aint ready to move to Linux either

[feral aspen]

Checking Linux next.

[lyric mountain]

...

you already did

[feral aspen]

OH, it's part of Linux. (my bad)

[lyric mountain]

nono, it IS linux

[feral aspen]

My Discord is bugged.

[lyric mountain]

linux { ubuntu, fedora, redhat, gnome, arch, etc }

[feral aspen]

Ohh, misunderstanding, I suppose.

[feral aspen]

I like this Tomorrow at <date> feature.

[cinder patio]

I really want to switch to Manjaro

[plucky imp]

wait wtf

[feral aspen]

Aha?

[boreal iron]

Discord is a bug

That’s the right sentence

[plucky imp]

i have role identified as ```js
const {role} = client.db
.updateGuild(interaction.guild.id)

i think

idk

this is what i'm trying to get from the guild id but

it says role or user is unndefined

wait

i think i'm slow

hold on

[feral aspen]

JS, right?

[plucky imp]

nope still doesn't work

yeah

i can show code if you need me to

[boreal iron]

Wouldn’t it be const { logdownRole } or is role an array of roles?

I’ve literally no clue about mongo

[feral aspen]

What does client.db.updateGuild(interaction.guild.id) return?

[cinder patio]

imb4 a promise

[plucky imp]

i don't have it logged hold on

[feral aspen]

We can do this the old fashioned way by requiring the model, applying the findOne method, filter, and then function.

[boreal iron]

I thought his screenshot is the database result log

[feral aspen]

That's a document.

[plucky imp]

nope it's my mongO

[boreal iron]

And the result isn’t just an object representing the document, too?

[plucky imp]

this is what it returns

[boreal iron]

Yeah just an object

[plucky imp]

but like when i do it to see if the feature is enabled it works so idk why it doesn't for the role

[boreal iron]

Then see this

#development message

Err yeah correct my typo in there

[plucky imp]

okeY

[feral aspen]

<Model>.findOne({
    id: '954866030327500871'
}, async (error, data) => {
    if (error) console.log(error);
    if (!data) return; // You can also do whatever you want here.

    console.log(data); // This will return the document above.
    console.log(data.lockdownRole); // It will return the string value of `lockdownRole`.
})

You can do this.

[plucky imp]

not gonna lie i've been trying to figure this out for the past 2 days lol

[boreal iron]

[feral aspen]

Trying to get the value of lockdownRole?

[plucky imp]

yep

[feral aspen]

That's the way above. :)

[boreal iron]

If you don’t need the entire object just do it as I mentioned

[feral aspen]

We can also simplify all the above shorter but that depends what you want to do with the data.

If you want to configure the data, you can use the way above although if you want to just bring values, we can use this other way.

[plucky imp]

i just need to get the role so it can update the sendMessages permission

[boreal iron]

Yeah then do what I wrote

That’s your solution

[plucky imp]

pogggg

[boreal iron]

If you successfully changed my typo ofc

[plucky imp]

it works noW

i can finally move on

jesus

[feral aspen]

const data = await <Model>.findOne({ id: '954866030327500871' });
console.log(data.lockdownRole);

[boreal iron]

Fine

[feral aspen]

This is the most simplest way.

[plucky imp]

ty for the help qt's

[boreal iron]

Nope

[feral aspen]

... for now.

[feral aspen]

Hopefully you know what to do with <Model>.

[boreal iron]

Nope you need to respect the context

[feral aspen]

Replace it with the variable that has a value that leads to the model.

[boreal iron]

#development message

[feral aspen]

I answered him, though.

[boreal iron]

He updated the document and wants to get the role of the result

A second request doesn’t make any sense

Means his way is absolutely okay

Your would cause another request even if the document data already exists

[feral aspen]

Ohh.. although, what did he log? role?

[plucky imp]

I-

it's already fixed

[boreal iron]

role doesn’t exist in his document result but lockdownRole does

[feral aspen]

Fixed but not in an efficient way. :/

[boreal iron]

That was his issue

[feral aspen]

I'm trying to understand what he logged and what returned from the log.

[plucky imp]

yeah i changed it to lockdownRole

i'm sitll used to djsv12 docs lol

still*

[boreal iron]

He logged the result of the updating request

*update query

[feral aspen]

He basically logged await client.db......

What did it return?

In the SS, I see it logged the object with an error down so it's unclear.

[boreal iron]

It’s the similar to editing a message in djs which will return the edited message object

Anyways gotta do some work now

[plucky imp]

the first thing before the error is what it logged

[feral aspen]

Oh, if so, he can use the destructuring assignment on the object and pull-up the value of the property by inputting the property name within the paranthesis.

[feral aspen]

Great, do what I said above.

God, hold on. await client.db.updateGuild(interaction.guild.id); returned the object, right? You can now do this. const { lockdownRole } = await client.db.updateGuild(interaction.guild.id);

If you want to rename the variable of lockdownRole to role, do const { lockdownRole: role } = await client.db.updateGuild(interaction.guild.id);

[boreal iron]

His screenshot shows the result of db.updateGuild(…) which is the new document

[plucky imp]

what are good antiraid things?

[boreal iron]

Dude

[feral aspen]

Yup, he can now do the above.

[boreal iron]

That’s what he ALREADY did

Which I stated 10 mins ago

[plucky imp]

lol

calm down

it's already fixed lol

[feral aspen]

Honestly, I've been waiting for my answer in above, so I didn't pay attention.

My bad on that.

[boreal iron]

The 3rd time I send this

#development message

Ignore my typo in there

lockdown not logdown ofc

[boreal iron]

You simply ignored my answers

evil boy

[feral aspen]

[boreal iron]

Alright I’m out

[boreal iron]

Huh I’m calm just wanted to make sure he reads it this time

[boreal iron]

Which always happens when I press on a slash command reply

Which should actually open the modal showing me the entire command the user used

if somebody wants to report it

[earnest phoenix]

Epic embed fail

[boreal iron]

It’s a mobile upload

I guess with an unsupported format for the discord client

Therefore no embed?!

Which means:

Epic Voltrex fail

mov formats are supported, something else is wrong with it causing it to not embed

[boreal iron]

Quiet!

Hello, so I am trying to make a leaderboard command specific to the server the command is run in, however I have found that it is very inefficient and takes a very long time.

Here is my code below:

let m = await msg.channel.send("Loading... :loading:");
let top = Object.entries(lb).sort((a, b) => a[1] - b[1]).reverse();
let count = 0, topu = 0, tope = [];
while (count < 3) {
    if (topu > (top.length - 1)) {
        while (count < 3) {
            tope.push("No user found");
            count++;
        };
        break;
    };
    try {
        await msg.guild.members.fetch(top[topu][0]);
    } catch {
        topu++;
        continue;
    };
    tope.push(`<@${top[topu][0]}> - ${top[topu][1]} points`);
    count++;
    topu++;
};
let e = new Discord.MessageEmbed().setDescription(`🥇 ${tope[0]}\n\n🥈 ${tope[1]}\n\n🥉 ${tope[2]}`);
m.edit({ content: `Top 3 players in **${msg.guild.name}**`, embeds: [e] });

how do u get rid of this

the source code control thing

[austere surge]

remove git from the directory or hide it?

search git.decorations.enabled in vscode, and set to false

or disable git entirely with git.enabled

thanks

[rocky hearth]

add form method to be POST

[neat ingot]

idk what lib you are using, but are you sure findOne is async? some mongo libs it is not and expects a callback instead

no. the actual findOne function in the mongo library needs to be defined as async in order to await it

else it'd be something like:

xxxcollection.findOne({query:1}, function(error, data) {
  if (error) // blah blah blah
  data.thing.do();
})

^ again depending on what mongo lib youa re using

what node module* sorry

like, what node module are you using to connect to mongodb

ahh ok

hmm, apparently the findOne function for that lib is async

i normally use mongoose which adds additional features

so im not too familiar with normal mongodb module 😄

are you allowed database names with spaces in mongo? i always hypen them 😄

[austere surge]

ff

[neat ingot]

idk, mongoose auto converts my data strcuture names to lower case and such

lmao nice find 😂

question

[austere surge]

alrigh

[neat ingot]

why are you storing a 'json' object in mongodb?

you realize it stores json/bson as it is?

like, the entire dataset that is returned to you on a successful query is a json like object, no?

^ one reason i like mongoose. i tell it how it stores its data.

pretty sure thats just mongodb tbh tho 😄

lol, in mongodb you can basically just add properties to your object as you see fit

so it just depends on how you s ave/define your obejcts

which raw json? where are you fetching this json from?

soo, you creating json data? why not just an object? why bother converting it to json?

from where?

oh, well thats not json 😄

its an object

json structure is similar, but has more quirks, and less capability

const objkt = Object.create(Object);
objkt.guildid = interaction.guild.id;
objkt.config = {
    enabled: true, 
    channelid: cat.id
}
xxx.insertOne(objkt)```

that'd do the same thing

and config is also just an object

https://www.w3schools.com/js/js_objects.asp

lol, good lux 😗

[neat ingot]

await coll.updateOne(
  { title: 'Amadeus' },
  { $set: { 'imdb.rating': 9.5 } }
);```

^ would update the collection with the title: Amadeus, and set its imbd.rating to 9.5

the collection 😄

const coll = client.db.collection("Channel Storage");
await coll.updateOne(
    { guildid: interaction.guild.id },
    { $set: {'config.channelid': 123}}
);```

i think is what you are trying to do

its not a string, but you have to set it as such, because it is a property of an object

like, config doesnt return the value, it returns an object with properties that return values.

where channelid is a property you have defined on the config object

good lucks!

im working on saving/loading custom theme css from local storage for lolz

congrats 🙂

[neat ingot]

isnt she just... beautiful? ❤️

[lament rock]

The orange personally isn't me

[neat ingot]

oh 😭

whats your color?

[lament rock]

0x585858

or is it 858585

I forgor

[neat ingot]

grey?

[lament rock]

yeah grey

58*

[neat ingot]

better?

[lament rock]

looks great imo

a neutral color is better than an opinionated one

or have custom color support

[neat ingot]

theme customizer doesnt look the best, but its functional 😛

[austere surge]

woagh

[astral halo]

how can i make my bot such that anyone can clone the repo and run it and it would work without behaving like multiple instances, e.g sending a message 2 times when someone other than me also runs the bot

[cinder patio]

let people generate their own tokens

[astral halo]

wouldnt they both send it still if they were in same guild

[cinder patio]

no? Their copy of the bot would be an entirely different application

but if both are in the same guild then yes both would send

because they're running the exact same code

[astral halo]

yes and i want to prevent that

whether it's the same token or not

[cinder patio]

Why would you even be in that situation in the first place??

You can't do this easily

[astral halo]

well my bot uses an api frequently for live update reasons and the api has a request/time limit for each ip

there maybe other solutions that i couldnt think of

[cinder patio]

The person who is hosting an instance of your bot won't have the same IP as you...

[astral halo]

yes so they wont be limited by the requests of bot on my server and can request still

thats why i asked it

[cinder patio]

So let me get u straight you want to use multiple instances of your bot just to avoid being rate-limited

[astral halo]

yes

[cinder patio]

Then just ask that?? Your original question is so much different

All of the instances need to be able to communicate with each other

[sick agate]

use trusted proxies then

[cinder patio]

IP rotation

[sick agate]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cinder patio]

or just don't do anything cause it's not worth it

[sick agate]

ye

[rose warren]

Shady. You should just follow the rate-limit and maybe re-think how you're using the data.

[sick agate]

yeah i can agree on that

[proven lantern]

is AWS blocked from doing GET calls to Discord's CDN? media.discordapp.net and cdn.discordapp.com
I have some code that works locally, but fails on aws lambda. the error from the lambda is Client network socket disconnected before secure TLS connection was established

[sick agate]

probs tls issue

[sick agate]

try without tls

[proven lantern]

it redirects to https

and it works on my computer

await new Promise((resolve) => https.get(proxy_url, response => response.on('data', d => resolve(d))))```

[sick agate]

tls issues then

[crystal plover]

looks great

[rocky hearth]

whats difference bw a modal and dialog?

[high star]

no

[earnest phoenix]

Dialogs are mostly messages that pop up that you just have to read and continue on with your life, or may require you to click certain things such as an option to ignore the dialog or save it somewhere and similar, modals are pop ups that ask for input from the user and similar things to do whatever

[rocky hearth]

thx. Now it makes sense.

[earnest phoenix]

@hybrid cargo ads

[hybrid cargo]

@chilly pivot no ads pls, thanks

[chilly pivot]

It's Rick roll

[hybrid cargo]

It is a bot invite link which upon inviting the bot redirects to a rickroll on youtube.

[chilly pivot]

Ya

[rocky hearth]

I'm seen some react code like this

<Button>
  {(selected) => (
    selected ? <span></span> : <span></span>
  )}
</Button>

What this method is called

[pearl trail]

conditional operator

[rocky hearth]

No no, I mean, there is a function as children in Button

how do a function is passed as children, to Button?

[ancient nova]

does anyone know how to spawn an object with, say 10% chance?
tried doing both

if(Random.value <= 0.1) {
//code
}

And

if (Random.Range(0, 10) < 1) {
//code
}
``` but it seems to always be spawning

should I make it be like 0.0001?

[dry imp]

thats randomness

[ancient nova]

yeah, it's generating a random number and checks if it's lower than 10%

[dry imp]

sometimes you get lucky sometimes you dont

[ancient nova]

it is making sense in my head, but it may not be correct

[dry imp]

its just how it is

[ancient nova]

yeah, but it literally always somehow manages to spawn

[dry imp]

you could lower the percentage but some users may get very unlucky

[cinder patio]

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/Random-Numbers-in-Chash#:~:text=To generate random numbers in,method under Random() object.

[ancient nova]

you know this isprecisely what I'm doing right

[cinder patio]

doesn't look like it... Random.value?

[ancient nova]

it gets random double value between 0 and 1

it's an unity only function

[raw sigil]

how to make vote log?

[boreal iron]

Listen to the webhooks topgg can send you to your endpoint, then use the provided information to go on

[earnest phoenix]

https://discord.com/developers/docs/resources/webhook#delete-webhook

[drowsy flume]

hello

[earnest phoenix]

is the makeCache required?

i'm moving to v13 so i'm reading the v12 to v13 doc

ok

so it works normally without it?

ok

[woeful pike]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgxklT94W0I lmfao this is the only good vid in this series

[atomic kindle]

Have you seen the senior JS one?

It's pretty good too.

JJQuery

[woeful pike]

the js one was kinda boring tbh

this one was good tho

[atomic kindle]

I think I enjoyed them all. Fun perspective.

[cinder patio]

What's the best way to get rid of stack traces in errors

[neat ingot]

just log the message and not the error? 😛

[cinder patio]

but I'm throwing the error

[neat ingot]

but why would you want that?

[cinder patio]

The stack's useless for my case

[neat ingot]

then wrap your call in a try catch?

but obviously you dont need to return the error if you have no need

[woeful pike]

uhhhh you can do an uncaughtException handler and just log the message that way but that's a terrible idea

you should be exiting your program when you have uncaught exceptions

[neat ingot]

😂 almost every program i have eats exceptions

[woeful pike]

bad idea

[neat ingot]

you kinda have to for discord bot development or you bot stops

[rose warren]

Oh hey are we talking about breakfast? 👀

[wheat mesa]

just make it in a safe way obviously!

[woeful pike]

run multiple instances of your app and restart when you have uncaught exceptions

otherwise your app is stuck in a bad state

[neat ingot]

uhhh

[cinder patio]

I'm making the error myself, I guess I could

console.error(msg);
process.exit(1);

[woeful pike]

yeah

[wheat mesa]

you wouldn't be able to catch that though, is it always fatal?

[cinder patio]

You're not supposed to be able to catch the error so that's not a problem

[wheat mesa]

oh okay

[neat ingot]

i cant help but think of cheese now when i look at your name 😄

[cinder patio]

Only problem with this is that when I wrap it in a function it doesn't scream this is going to stop the process and that bugs me

[neat ingot]

you can add something like that that will scream 'im shutting down' whenever that happens

[cosmic forum]

Hello, does anyone know how to check if a user is in a discord server via their ID? (discordjs v13)

[cinder patio]

nah I just mean by reading the code

return throwError("...") doesn't look as nice as throw new Error(...)

[neat ingot]

capitalize it so it at least shouts? 😄

return THROWERROR("...");

i guess 'capitalize' would be the first letter, obviously i mean make all upper case

[cinder patio]

I guess I could still do
throw throwError(...), Nothing's gonna get thrown because the process exits before that

return throwError(...) also messes typescript up

[neat ingot]

why you exiting the process on error anyway?

[cinder patio]

cuz it's a fatal error

[neat ingot]

what is it your working on?

[cinder patio]

it's for a typescript plugin - you can't catch it (I guess unless you use the compiler API programmatically but you shouldn't either way), lets the user know

[neat ingot]

ahh ok, i was thinking it was some bot command, and im like ~ why you letting your bot die when a user fks up?! 😄

[earnest phoenix]

Get the guild from the cache by it's ID using the client.guilds.cache.get() method and check if that user exists as a member in that guild by it's ID using the <Guild>.members.cache.has() method, remember that not all members are cached, so this could be false positive, it's a better idea to fetch the member instead since it also checks the cache before fetching unless forced to fetch, you can fetch the member using the <Guild>.members.fetch() method to check that, remember to handle it's error as well since it throws if the user doesn't exist as a member in that guild, you can handle it using either a try-catch statement or by using the <Promise>.catch() method

[cinder patio]

Okay well doing delete err.stack removes the stack trace

[earnest phoenix]

umm

how is message.author.id in slash commands with interaction?

interaction.author.id?

<Interaction>.user.id

ok

ty

[cinder patio]

When I set this.stack to "" the error message gets wrapped in square brackets 😩

[cosmic forum]

If I were to try that on an array of users (to filter the array of members not in a server) would it be the most efficient way?

[earnest phoenix]

Yeah

[simple stump]

Why does my bot not ping the actual role? It has full permissions and normal users can ping a role perfectly fine, but the bot isn't able to for some reason.

interaction.channel.send("<@&" + roles.queuePing + ">");

Not just be using @ and then selecting the Queue Ping option, rather using <@&883791592073330758>.

[woven wren]

Make sure roles are enabled in your allowed mentions

[earnest phoenix]

umm

I only have the guild members intent active (maybe)

this one

[quartz kindle]

that has nothing to do with your problem

you didnt define Intents

Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MEMBERS
^ undefined

[simple stump]

For the intent?

Oh wait the permission sorry.

It is. The bot has all permissions.

[lament rock]

There are so many more kill signals than just interrupt and terminate you'd have to listen to to "safely" exit

also, they way you're doing it makes it so that the callback function gets duplicated in memory

[neat ingot]

indeed, but i only attempt to safely shutdown when i shutdown the bot. In practice i've never run into the app stopping from some other signal. And yes, the function is created for each signal event, but its really not a huge issue imo 😛

[lament rock]

SIGKILL is sometimes necessary if the other kill signals aren't working

also, you HAVE to handle possible errors from your safety shutdown code or else your app will stay open forever

[cosmic forum]

Yo anyone got a terms of service template or generator for discord bots

[neat ingot]

yea that seems reasonable 🙂

[sudden geyser]

I'm working with a CLI that lets users specify values inside the flag name. For example, the -T option can be written as -Talias with alias representing the argument from the user. Is there a specific name for this style?

[proven lantern]

which one looks nicer?

[woeful pike]

filenameParts.at(-1)

[proven lantern]

ohh

that's fancy

when was this fancy at added

[woeful pike]

I think it was standardized last year?

[proven lantern]

i will test it in nodejs 14

pray for me

[neat ingot]

why not just .pop() the extension type off?

[woeful pike]

14 doesn't support it. Use 16

[sudden geyser]

If you already have an array and don't want to mutate it, .at can be useful

[neat ingot]

yea thats fair. seems in this case at least though the array is only created to get the extension

[sudden geyser]

yeah

both would work

[proven lantern]

why doesn't aws support current version of node

same with google cloud

[neat ingot]

😂

thats pretty funny tbh

[proven lantern]

maybe nodejs is the current version

[neat ingot]

could be yea, that'd make sense~ latest stable

i like docker cause it lets my apps use whatever node version they need. its pretty handy 🙂

[proven lantern]

aws cloidformation uses docker too

[raw nest]

Is there an easy JavaScript function to check if a key in an object which is in an array has a specific value?
F.e. I want to check if somewhere enabled is true. In something like this:

[
  {
    "name": "Test1",
    "enabled": "false"
  },
  {
    "name": "Test2",
    "enabled": "true"
  }
]

[neat ingot]

[].some(element => element.enabled)

[raw nest]

thanks, I'll try that

[neat ingot]

=> boolean

[raw nest]

👍 <3

[neat ingot]

find would return the element, some would return boolean if element exists

[woeful pike]

still can't believe python doesn't have a find function

actual madness

[proven lantern]

sad times

aws lies to us

[sudden geyser]

google cloud is always an option

[proven lantern]

don't worry, they still support nodejs4.3

cloudflare workers maybe

i still haven't tried them

maybe cloud providers are scared to support the latest versions because they might not be secure

[proven lantern]

vercel only supports version 14 of nodejs too

i've been looking through the cloudflare docs and they dont tell what versions they support
https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers/platform/environments/

no serverless wants to support nodejs 16

[quartz kindle]

i think they're just lazy to upgrade

its probably very expensive for them

[proven lantern]

i found this from aws. it's coming soon...
https://github.com/aws/aws-lambda-base-images/issues/14

lol

[sudden geyser]

can't you just install it manually or something

[proven lantern]

yeah, you can attach a layer to the lambda to support any version

so you load nodejs twice

https://fusebit.io/blog/run-every-nodejs-version-in-lambda/
