[sharp geyser]

Send false numbers?

[quartz kindle]

the request uses FormData, not json

[vivid fulcrum]

topgg can't really confirm how many servers your bot is in so you can send whatever you want, that's not allowed though

[solemn latch]

oh yeah, totally possible. but we generally catch them quickly.

[sharp geyser]

So I can't publish a bot with 60m servers

[simple stump]

ohhh ic. tysm

[solemn latch]

bot invite urls include the estimated server count.
https://i.imgur.com/4cD0dP9.png

[quartz kindle]

cant scrape them tho

not without logging in

[solemn latch]

no, just manually checking works fine though

[quartz kindle]

yeah but whos gonna do that for tens of thousands of bots

:^)

[sharp geyser]

They should include a way to get the bots guilds tho I bet that'd be very resource intensive or just annoying to do

[quartz kindle]

they should just expose the approximate count in the api

[sharp geyser]

Ye

[simple stump]

Got it to work! Tysm for your help:

let form = new URLSearchParams();
form.append('anime', query);

return axios.post(this.url + "/data/searchdata-test.php", form, { headers: { 'x-referer': this.url, 'user-agent': userAgent } }).then(res => {
  return res;
}).catch(err => {
  return err;
});

[solemn latch]

Even if they did that, I doubt we would use it, or only use it rarely.

[quartz kindle]

i would

and any bot thats planning on using webhook interactions only

[solemn latch]

that would be nice

[quartz kindle]

currently they have no way of getting the count without connecting to the websocket

well they have a way

but its slow asf

[slender wagon]

Or at least not without breaking the TOS

Or just include a report button to report fake server count

[split hazel]

@quartz kindle to make myself feel better about the email monopolies I will send all emails from gmail and outlook to spam

email spam is horrific though

the filters are so sensitive they block legitimate emails

google has a post on how to make your email not go to spam by doing some things such as setting up records which help to prove your domain is sending emails etc which does help

[quartz kindle]

xD

[split hazel]

at a point though I will run out of things to do because they are either paid or out of my control

there are also a shit ton of things Google tells you to do to "help" stop domain forgery

there is no set solution on stopping it

you can only try mitigate it

[neat ingot]

yall tried unreal engine 5? its dope!

discord needs to add a feature for embedding games in chat or something

like, they can already embed youtube videos, why not allow some specific game format to load as well 😢

[boreal iron]

Correct SPF, DKIM, DMARC and RDNS records are essential to not be flagged as spam before any other filter

[dry imp]

ue5 is indeed dope but my shitty mac wont be able to run it anyway

[spark flint]

coding

[simple stump]

HTTP requests to websites

[sharp geyser]

What all should I include in my websocket stuff?

I am already handling errors, I am already doing heartbeat & identify

[viral plover]

Can a Discord Bot create an invite link to a scheduled event?

[quartz kindle]

resume?

[sharp geyser]

already got resume as well

[spark flint]

yes

they can create events too

[viral plover]

Great!
I was able to find how to create an event eventually, but nowhere on how to get the bot to make a link for said event.

[spark flint]

ah

it out rq

[vivid fulcrum]

ah yes because an electron app that's already using way too many resources idling would definitely benefit from embedding a game engine 😭

even using something like webgl would definitely skyrocket the cpu usage beyond what would be considered acceptable

discord is more to blame than electron here tbh

the entirety of the client is heavily bloated and unoptimized

[viral plover]

Sorry, what did you mean by this?

[spark flint]

i mean i was gonna go check it out

[viral plover]

Oh, okay. Thanks.

[lament rock]

Discord uses a lot of high level and bloated libraries

my personal goal is to rid my bots' dependency tree of common bloat like lodash

[split hazel]

every time i see lodash in a package: 💀

[boreal stream]

hey guys can someone help me with react i want to add js script for fetching json data in jsx component but i dont know how to do that

[split hazel]

i have spf, dkim signatures and dmarc but not rdns

i contacted my hosting provider to see if they can do something

[vivid fulcrum]

what kind of a script? what are you exactly trying to do

the question is too broad for you to get a concrete answer

[boreal stream]

fetch("./fotot.json")
    .then((response) => response.json())
    .then((data) => {
        console.log(data.fotot.length);
        for (let i = 0; i < data.fotot.length; i++) {
            console.log([i]);```

[lament rock]

I have never felt so satisfied

[boreal stream]

im trying to put this script in my jsx

component

[quartz kindle]

how many deps now?

[vivid fulcrum]

just use it like you would normally, considering you're using react you're going to want to put that inside of the useEffect hook and create a state that gets updated when the fetch finishes

[vivid fulcrum]

pass an empty array as the second argument to useEffect though

[lament rock]

a few deps

[vivid fulcrum]

otherwise the effect will re-run on every rerender

[quartz kindle]

do you want to fetch while compiling the file? like in the server before the file is sent? or you want the fetch to work from the user's browser then the used loads the page?

[lament rock]

I need to purge a few redundant deps

[quartz kindle]

quite a few indeed

xD

[lament rock]

Almost all of them, I import and use though

[boreal stream]

i want to fetch to work from the users browsers used loads the page

[split hazel]

i hate how complicated and annoying it is to setup api routes server-side and then implement handlers and requests client side

so unorganized

[lament rock]

I need to learn how to routify

[vivid fulcrum]

mvc in a nutshell

[quartz kindle]

so it has to be inside a <script> tag and sent from the server as html

[lament rock]

my website is static atm, so no need for routify yet, but will once I reimplement my bot's dashboard

[boreal stream]

so u mean i can put a script tag inside the jsx component

like in html

[quartz kindle]

i dont see why not? doesnt jsx compile into html anyway?

[boreal stream]

yeah but jsx its js too

im going to try that

[quartz kindle]

the js in jsx is server side, used to help build the html

if you want browser side you need to put the code as a string in <script> tags

[quartz kindle]

i dont even have a website

i need to make one tho

[lament rock]

Github pages would be pretty easy

[quartz kindle]

my bot's donation process is all done manually

and its such a hassle

i need to build a dashboard to handle payments and user customization

[lament rock]

What's stopping me from doing that is simply; front end work sucks so badly

[quartz kindle]

yup

[boreal stream]

it didnt work so painful

[quartz kindle]

also my entire work is stuck while i dont finish my api

because everything depends on it

[quartz kindle]

explain how it didnt work, like any error? logs? what is the behaviour you're seeing

[lament rock]

https://github.com/AmandaDiscord/Amanda/tree/rewrite/source/website

this wasn't the most god awful thing to do. Can be seen here: https://amanda.moe

[quartz kindle]

simple and straight to the point

oh and also

the domain i want for my bot

was taken

and expired on february

and its still not available for purchase

expired domains take like 3 months to return to the market

[boreal stream]

is giving me this error

[austere surge]

put it all in one div or something

[vivid fulcrum]

that's a heavy antipattern

you don't use script tags inside of react

the whole thing is a script already

[quartz kindle]

oh comon

the domain i wanted was reregistered

and put on auction

-.-

[austere surge]

rip

[lament rock]

[vivid fulcrum]

domain snipers

[vivid fulcrum]

place it outside of the return

and inside of a useEffect hook

[lament rock]

I guess the best thing to do is get a different tld

.moe was pretty cheap. $15 usd a year

[quartz kindle]

the auction is curently at $3

im gonna bid

lmao

[lament rock]

cheap

Hope you win

[boreal stream]

import { useEffect } from 'react';

const useScript = url => {
  useEffect(() => {
    const script = document.createElement('script');

    script.src = url;
    script.async = true;

    document.body.appendChild(script);

    return () => {
      document.body.removeChild(script);
    }
  }, [url]);
};

export default useScript;```

you mean like this

[vivid fulcrum]

absolutely not

i mean

it's a way

however you should use the useEffect inside of your component

the actual one

and again

you don't use script tags

react is already a script

jsx compiles down to just javascript

everything in react is virtual

[boreal stream]

i know but this is what stack overflow gives me

[vivid fulcrum]

what are you exactly fetching

an API or a file that's in the site

[boreal stream]

im creating div's with images inside like instagram posts

they are file in site now

[vivid fulcrum]

you can just require that then

there's absolutely no need to fetch something that exists locally already

require/import it and webpack will take care of it

[boreal stream]

but this fetch is creating div's by it self and creating posts with uniqe id and give links for every image

[quartz kindle]

LMAO

THIS SHIT IS RIGGED

THE MOMENT YOU PLACE A BID YOU GET AUTO 1 UPPED

[vivid fulcrum]

you don't mix and match vanilla js with react

pick one

using react you will have to follow react patterns

[solemn latch]

on what site? 👀

many online bidding services you can set a max bid, and it will auto bid above the next person below.

[vivid fulcrum]

react has a virtual DOM, meaning you don't directly manipulate the contents of the website, react does beacause it programmatically stores what it needs to render

jsx is just an easier way to represent the virtual DOM

[boreal stream]

i understand but i still dont get it how i can fech json in react now

[vivid fulcrum]

<Component /> is actually just React.createElement() under the hood

if it's a json file that's local, you just import it

[quartz kindle]

sav.com
i dont see any option to do that

[solemn latch]

👀 someones cheating

[boreal stream]

can u give me a photo or part of code that can help me to understand more clearly that

[vivid fulcrum]

i will not spoonfeed you

id give you a quick example but im on my phone

writing code is annoying on a mobile keyboard

[boreal stream]

oh i know that sorry i didnt know that

[vivid fulcrum]

you might wanna read through this a bit though https://beta.reactjs.org/

the beta docs are extremely good

will definitely help you clear confusion about what react actually is

[boreal stream]

mmm thanks for that im going to see that thanks to much for your help

[vivid fulcrum]

another tip i can give you is not to go hard on yourself with your first projects in react

you should start with something basic just to get the hang of it

doesn't matter if you'll use the thing you build or not

[boreal stream]

this is really my first project in react but i finish this project in html css and js and now i wanted to convert that in react

im more good in html css and js 😅😂

[vivid fulcrum]

i guessed so, you're shooting yourself in the foot by doing that though, react is definitely a feature rich framework that takes a bit of time to learn

you won't be able to port apps without knowing how react works first

also, here's a good video on how to avoid antipatterns once you familiarize yourself with state management and effects

https://youtu.be/0yzoAbrjV6k

[solemn latch]

oh wow, the beta docs are really nice

I just started rewriting a site from scratch, might be a good time for me to learn myself.

[boreal stream]

thanks to much for all this stuff u gave to me i aprecciate that

[quartz kindle]

lmao

[solemn latch]

👀

[boreal stream]

im listening to your words now😅

[solemn latch]

note to self, dont mess with tim

[spark flint]

ah fuck wrong channel

[quartz kindle]

my last bid was 12 bucks, which got insta-topped to 13 bucks by the same account as before

[quartz kindle]

its just an empty threat tbh but it often works

xD

[vivid fulcrum]

im glad! if you decide to continue using react you should definitely build more apps with it, it's a highly valuable skill in web development

[boreal stream]

i will learn to do that and im going to make that look easier for sure

😁😂

[wheat mesa]

sending this to the devs so they know that it’s an empty threat

C:<

[vivid fulcrum]

do you happen to want to talk to a manager

it's an effective method!

[boreal stream]

i also have a friend who is my manager and im his manager 🙂

[vivid fulcrum]

it's a paradox

oh no

[boreal stream]

i also have a restaurant and i can learn how to manage all work and peoples there so im still training for that

[quartz kindle]

dick move

[wheat mesa]

Circular dependency

[copper cradle]

lmao

[copper cradle]

HOW

[sharp geyser]

Other than handling events fully I think I have done all I need with the gateway for now

[sharp geyser]

  user: {
    verified: true,
    username: 'Teamer',
    mfa_enabled: true,
    id: '961018771261231104',
    flags: 0,
    email: null,
    discriminator: '1564',
    bot: true,
    avatar: null
  }

Is this everything a user could have or is this just what discord can return for this user?

Cause discord's docs says a user object is a lot more than that

Unless there is only a certain amount you can get with the bot's token versus a bearers token

[peak fox]

I am struggling what to add to my bot. I have a series of commands but feel like it needs more.

[quartz kindle]

verified and email require oauth2 with the email scope

the rest is pretty much on a need to have basis, as they are all nullable

[sharp geyser]

🤔

[quartz kindle]

ie banner will only be there if the user actually has a custom banner

[sharp geyser]

Ah

I am wondering if I should set my author prop in the interface to be of type User (the class I made for users) or should i make an interface for the data it will have

[quartz kindle]

this is what i get when i fetch my own user (with the bot token)

[sharp geyser]

Why is bot marked as nullable in the discord docs?

I thought it was sent no matter what

[sharp geyser]

Ah this is helpful

[quartz kindle]

well, its a boolean so, if its true its true, if anything else its implicitly false

in this case, if bot is false, its easier to simply not send it at all and save bandwidth

[sharp geyser]

Mmm makes sense

[quartz kindle]

but discord is known to be inconsistent

so you see things sometimes are null, other times are simply not sent

also avatar_decoration doesnt even exist in their docs

[sharp geyser]

Yea

tf

export class Message extends BaseStructure {
    public id: Snowflake;
    public channelId: Snowflake;
    public guildId?: Snowflake;
    public author: User;
    constructor(client: BaseClient, data: MessageDataOptions) {
        super(client);
        this.id = data.id;
        this.channelId = data.channel_id;
        this.guildId = data.guild_id;
        this.author = new User(this.client, data.author);
    }
}

export interface MessageDataOptions {
    id: Snowflake;
    channel_id: Snowflake;
    guild_id?: Snowflake;
    author: UserData;
    content: string;
    timestamp: string;
    edited_timestamp: null | string;
    tts: boolean;
    mention_everyone: boolean;
    embeds: [];
    pinned: boolean;
    type: MessageTypes;
}

Does this make sense to you tim? (Mainly talking about the user part)

My idea is, author would be of type UserData, and then i'd parse it into an actual user class instance when attaching it to the Message

[quartz kindle]

yes thats that djs does

[sharp geyser]

Mmm, I see

Message {
  client: <ref *1> BaseClient {

}

Do you think it is fine setting things like that?

I was thinking if discord didn't send it, then it shouldn't be displayed

so instead of it being undefined it should just not be there right?

[quartz kindle]

whatever you prefer

from a performance standpoint, v8 likes fixed objects better so it can keep reusing the same structure

[sharp geyser]

I kind of feel like if it wasn't provided why show it

[quartz kindle]

from a memory efficiency perspective, not having the props when not needed is better

[sharp geyser]

How do you suggest I remove them if they aren't provided

I could do something like a loop and del the undefined values from the object but

that is likely not wise

[quartz kindle]

just dont add thm in the first place?

[sharp geyser]

Mmm you make a fair point indeed

[split hazel]

I think any language would like that

[pine nova]

💀

[tribal pine]

extremely stupid question: but what to do if you lost your api token?

[solemn latch]

I dont know of any services which dont allow you to regenerate your token.

[pine nova]

💀

[upper moss]

you can either regenerate the token from dev portal or just create a new bot

[tribal pine]

solved it already thanks!

[upper moss]

[ancient nova]

const mentionedChannel = !args[0] ? message.channel.id : args[0].replace(/\D/g,'');
so I'm trying to get the current channel ID if there aren't any args, and get a channel if there is args, how do I check whether the channe mentioned in args is actually valid?

[spark flint]

what about it

It’s helpful giving context

[ancient nova]

I accidentally sent it before adding context and was editing the message

[spark flint]

Ah

[pale vessel]

you could check for the channel inside cache or try to fetch it if you're not caching channels

[ancient nova]

is there a way to check it using a one liner?

also how do I get the name of the channel? message.channel.name?

[pale vessel]

yeah

nah

that only gets the current channel name

[wheat mesa]

djs documentation is very easy to read btw

[pale vessel]

also, can't you use message.mentions.channels.first() ?? message.channel?

assuming channel is the only argument for that command

[ancient nova]

wait so that works for channels too?

[pale vessel]

yeah

[ancient nova]

well I still want it to work when I give a bare ID though

[pale vessel]

ah true

[pale vessel]

then try to fetch the id

await message.guild.channels.fetch(mentionedChannel);```

[ancient nova]

I feel like that would be slower than just adding one more regex to check if the arg is a discord IP

[lament rock]

I used to have a function to parse arbitrary user input that resolves to a Channel by searching by mention, name, or by ID

[ancient nova]

I would prolly just do something like args[0].match(/\d{17,18}/) maybe

[lament rock]

Do not specify ID lengths since they will overflow

[ancient nova]

how? isn't the base ID length between 17 and 18 chars

[lament rock]

and 1 is technically a valid ID

[ancient nova]

yeah that's why I'm checking the length

[lament rock]

What I just said flew over your head

[ancient nova]

if the match returns true then it's the correct length

[wheat mesa]

Oh no not the regex mentality again 😔

[lament rock]

The IDs will reach the max number available in that range and then overflow into a longer range

[ancient nova]

well regex is gud

[ancient nova]

I don't understand what you're trying to tell me

[lament rock]

Just trust me and do not specify ID ranges

it will save you the hassle

[ancient nova]

isn't max float range like 9999999999999999999999999

[lament rock]

IDs are ints

well. Strings

[cinder patio]

Just use the regex provided by discord.js ez

[wheat mesa]

IDs are bigints aren’t they?

[ancient nova]

then it won't overlow since integers don't have a max renge

[lament rock]

They specify the range

[wheat mesa]

Yeah they have a Snowflake util for checking if something is a valid snowflake

[ancient nova]

lemme see

[lament rock]

They are can only fit into BigInt, yes

[ancient nova]

why didn't you say that

😭

what is it called

[cinder patio]

Overflow as in the integer will be longer than 18 characters

[lament rock]

any number is a valid Snowflake btw

even 0

[cinder patio]

so your regex will cut off the id

[lament rock]

The only way you can check invalid without fetching is if the timestamp is > the current date

[ancient nova]

then what should I do?

[lament rock]

0 would be at Discord's epoch

[ancient nova]

I need to keep that check all in one line

[cinder patio]

why

[ancient nova]

to make it neat

[lament rock]

Make a function for it

[pale vessel]

uhh i had this js export default function (text: string): boolean { try { const bigInt = BigInt(text); return bigInt >= 0n && bigInt <= 18446744073709551615n; } catch { return false; } }

[ancient nova]

how does dis work

[lament rock]

https://github.com/AmandaDiscord/Amanda/blob/main/modules/utilities/cachemanager.js#L689

[wheat mesa]

It tries to convert the string to bigint, if it fails then returns false

If it doesn’t fail then it checks the value range

[ancient nova]

const checkValidID = function(text) {
try {
const bigInt = BigInt(text);
return bigInt >= 0n && bigInt <= 18446744073709551615n;
} catch {
return false;
}
}}

[ancient nova]

I see

[lament rock]

what is that <=

literally just use what I provided

[cinder patio]

less or equal than?

[lament rock]

I meant the bigint after that

such an arbitrary number it seems

[cinder patio]

maybe it's when the world's gonna end

[pale vessel]

max unsigned 64 bit integer

[lament rock]

pretty sure BigInt can go over max unsigned 64bit int

[pale vessel]

but snowflakes can't

[lament rock]

Alternatively, just check if the timestamp in the snowflake is > Date.now()

your function can return false positives for Dates 1 week from now

The spec of SnowFlakes might change once 128bit or > computing becomes commercial

Hopefully not the end of the world by then

but creating work for yourself down the line is unwise

[split hazel]

anyone know how you can get the path in react SSR?

i tried window.location.pathname but its in a function and so it gets server rendered showing an error

and i cant throw it in useEffect

well i can it just wont look nice

i swear someone needs to come up with a framework which can actually detect client-side only code

all these frameworks but not one unique one

[rocky hearth]

what is equivalent of import X, { Y } from "xyz" in commonjs

[split hazel]

const X = require("xyz");
const { Y } = X; 

[rocky hearth]

X would be default import?

[split hazel]

yeah

[rocky hearth]

ohh ok thx

[split hazel]

though commonjs doesnt really have a concept such as default imports

[rocky hearth]

yeah that's what I asked, if X would be a object having default property

[cinder patio]

Either use useEffect or detect that the code is running in the browser yourself

if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
  //...
}

Or even better, make it a function parameter so the function doesn't have to check that

and then pass whatever you want to it

[split hazel]

i figured out i fricked up on my end

i tried calling a function that was supposed to be called only on load in the render function without useeffect

fixed it now though and now it only renders when its supposed to

[rocky hearth]

y it is required to specify type of file in js imports?

I mean it'll always be .js, no?

[quartz kindle]

there is json cjs and mjs

also, are you talking about require or es6 import?

[rocky hearth]

es6

then y require doesnt need to specify types?

[quartz kindle]

according to a few stackoverflow answers, es6 doesnt need extensions either

it just needs to match the file name, extension included

[rocky hearth]

yes I'm talking about file extension. Y to specify them?

[quartz kindle]

meaning you can save your file as index.test and import "./index.test" and it will work

[rocky hearth]

but that is not the case for cjs imports. Or is it?

require doesnt need file extension right?

[earnest phoenix]

CommonJS (CJS) is not part of the JavaScript standard and it's just a workaround as JavaScript didn't have modules back then, so it rather uses an algorithm to find files based on the file resolution, ECMAScript modules (ESM) is a part of the JavaScript standard and now officially supports modules and we require it because it doesn't really use an algorithm because we want to boost things up and force the developer to provide extensions instead of being lazy and not doing so, just as seen in many of the programming languages out there

Just to also avoid internal confusion

[rocky hearth]

oh wow, good to know that

[quartz kindle]

also there are other stuff besides cjs and esm

like RequireJS, SystemJS, AMD, UMD

[rocky hearth]

so that algorithms auto detects file extensions, I guess

[quartz kindle]

each has different rules

[simple stump]

Would it be possible to use JSDOM to execute external JavaScript? For example:

let stringToPrint = "hello";

Then a website having this function:

function printMessage(message) {
  console.log(message);
}

Then using JSDOM:

dom.something.printMessage(stringToPrint); // returns "hello" from the virtual console

[quartz kindle]

idk try attaching it to window

[simple stump]

wdym?

like dom.window.printMessage

[split hazel]

what is this dollar store html dom rip off

the discounted dom

[quartz kindle]

yes, window.printMessage = printMessage then dom.window.printMessage()

[simple stump]

I'm trying to actually access a function within the website itself. printMessage isn't a function within the current file.

[cinder patio]

This sounds like a really bad idea

[simple stump]

It is unfortunately. But I'm trying to deobfuscate a URL through a function from the website. The function itself can only be used from the min file

[cinder patio]

Use puppeteer

[simple stump]

It takes forever to load though. I think this is possible via JSDOM since I could theoretically just inject a script:

let message = "hello";

let script = `
<script>
  printMessage(${message});
</script>
`;

And then just use runScripts: "dangerously" for JSDOM. But yeah, this generally isn't a good idea. I wouldn't do this unless I really have to.

why is cloudflare refusing to update my dns records

added test.<domain>, doesn't work and dns checkers don't say its a valid record

[boreal iron]

It might has a large TTL value

[spark flint]

oh

[boreal iron]

And or the zone at all

[spark flint]

even tho i added a new record and it didn;t work?

ah

[boreal iron]

Means updates/pushes can take hours/days etc

[carmine summit]

is there a way to attach a string in a message (id) so it cannot be visible to clients but will be visible on fetched message? without using any database? or do I need to make some kind of discord powered database? or just a normal database using quickdb? kinda dumb question when I think about it...

[quartz kindle]

well you can put it inside a button

other than that, no

[lyric mountain]

Have a key-value association somewhere

Like a map or database

[carmine summit]

discord powered database it is then!

cant see what can go wrong

[lyric mountain]

Does it need to stay valid after restarts?

[carmine summit]

yep

[lyric mountain]

U can setup a sqlite db in minutes

Simple single-table structure

Programs do that all the time

[sharp geyser]

tho if you wanna use arrays it will be a bitch in sqlite (unless they changed it)

[carmine summit]

yeah but dependencies, id rather use discord databse

[lyric mountain]

Serialize it

Also he said string, so it'll be fine

[lyric mountain]

I mean, u just need the connector

Which is like, kbs at most

[sharp geyser]

This guy just said...discord database?

[carmine summit]

discord is like database.send() or data.edit() and database.fetch()

it works ive tried it

[sharp geyser]

👀

but...why

[carmine summit]

why not?

[sharp geyser]

It is just not smart way to save data, at any point that could get deleted and poof gone

[carmine summit]

its not like its for a public bot that hundreds of servers gonna use

[lyric mountain]

Jokes aside, if discord ever allows bots to edit user notes I bet people will use it as db

[sharp geyser]

Time to edit ur user note

:)

Why use ur own database when you could use discord's?

[lyric mountain]

Serialize an entire sqlite file and save inside notes

[sharp geyser]

Sounds like a plan

Ima serialize ur address into your usernote

[lyric mountain]

[sharp geyser]

Should I even worry about making a 'super' class for channels?

I myself don't see the benefit of having such a thing but i've been told it is probably a good idea. I just still somewhat doubt it (as they never really said why it'd be a good idea)

[loud tree]

#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#define str_size 2999
#define chr_no 255
int main()
{
    char b[str_size], m;
    int d[chr_no];
    int i, max = 0, x;
    
    printf("Input the string\n> ");
    scanf("%[^\n]%*c", b);

    for(i = 0; i < chr_no; i++)
    {
        d[i] = 0;
    }
    
    int c = strlen(b);
    int l;

    for(i = 0; i <c; i++)
    {
        l = (int)b[i];
        d[l]++;
    }

    for(i = 0; i < chr_no; i++)
    {
        if(d[i] >= max)
            max = i;
            m = (char) i;
    }

    printf("The maximum occurring character is %c occurring %d times\n", l, max );
 
    return 0;
}```

I don't know where I am doing wrong

    {
        l = (int)b[i];
        d[l]++;
    }

    for(i = 0; i < chr_no; i++)
    {
        if(d[i] >= max)
            max = i;
            m = (char) i;
    }```

probabaly here

[split hazel]

sure?

it will make it quicker to add changes to the channels apis

as a lot of the channel apis are the same across multiple channels

so instead of duplicating code you can extend them

[rocky hearth]

which is better approach to duplicate an array?
[...arr] or arr.slice()

[boreal iron]

Just to duplicate it?

new_array = old_array;

But I assume you wanna do it inline instead

[cinder patio]

That doesn't clone the array

[earnest phoenix]

I would say Array.prototype.slice(), as it's faster and more verbose

The reason it's faster is because it's a fixed method to only one type of object which are arrays, while the spread operator (...) is not a fixed operator and works for multiple types of primitives, which can slow it down, and it also depends on what wraps it

[split hazel]

you know bro spends too much time with javascript when he calls array slice array.prototype.slice

[split hazel]

aight so since the stack verse won't help because the question i wrote isn't "perfect" and has been closed (god I hate the stack community)
relating to SMTP what kind of measures should I employ to kind of perform a soft check on incoming emails? Emails can be easily spoofed so this needs to be done

What I do right now is check if the incoming email is valid and if it has a valid MX record but not sure if I should do more than that

[vivid fulcrum]

correct

what measures have you taken to protect your source code (if closed source), to protect your token etc.

and obviously the server your bot is hosted at

[split hazel]

does anyone know a regex that will extract subdomains from an email?

[spark flint]

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11450167/regular-expression-for-email-subdomain-match answer 2

(\w+@[\w.]+\w)

[split hazel]

doesnt work :c

[spark flint]

😔

[spark flint]

wait

for regex

isn;t it <regex>.match("[e-mail]")

wait thats probs not js

[hollow depot]

no

[spark flint]

@split hazel

"[e-mail]".match(/([^.@]+)/)

ah wait that doesn't work

fml

the webite i used to test worked tho

[split hazel]

rip

[earnest phoenix]

Subdomain? So from [e-mail], you want the bar?

[split hazel]

yeah

[earnest phoenix]

Here's the regex: /[a-z1-9_.-]+@((?:[a-z1-9-]+\.)*)[a-z1-9-]+\.[a-z1-9-]+/i

The i flag included for case-insensitivity

[ancient nova]

  let welcomeChannel = settings.welcomeChannel;
  // here's some regex to remove both "<#" and ">" elements from it
  member.guild.channels.cache.find(c => {
      if (c.name === welcomeChannel) {
          //return channe by name.
      } else if (c.id === welcomeChannel.replace(/\D/g,'')) {
          //return channel by ID
      }
  }).send(welcomeMessage);

you guys seem to be better at regex than me. I'm trying to make it find either by channel name or by ID, ID will work both in case mentions or just pasting plain ID

but something is wrong I keep getting random errors

can't figure out where because it doesn't exactly tell me

[earnest phoenix]

...and the error is?

[ancient nova]

there is a couple, I cleared the console already but from what I remember it was something along "couldn't get" and "couldn't cache"

basically a discord API error

[earnest phoenix]

We can't really help without an exact error, and the way you're trying to find the channel can be pretty slow as you keep replacing rather than replacing once

[ancient nova]

it happens in the guildMemberAdd event, I'm trying to make it as accesible as I can if many servers use that at the same time

[wheat mesa]

I’m still baffled by this obsession about regex you have

[ancient nova]

well one thing that is good about it, is that you can make complex functions be one liners so it's really good

basically you can make a library full of functions and it's only gonna be a couple of lines

[cinder patio]

why do u care about file size

[earnest phoenix]

// A regex to match IDs.
const channelIdReg = /^\d+$/;
// A regex to match channel mentions, and to also capture the ID if available.
const channelMentionReg = /^<#(\d+)>$/;

...

const { welcomeChannel } = settings;

// Declare variables with no value, we'll modify it later.
let channel, match;

if (channelIdReg.test(welcomeChannel))
  channel = member.guild.channels.cache.get(welcomeChannel);
else if (
  // Match against the channel regex.
  (match = welcomeChannel.match(channelMentionReg)) !== null
)
  // If it matched, get channel by ID.
  channel = member.guild.channels.cache.get(match[1]);
else
  // Otherwise find by channel name.
  channel = member.guild.channels.cache.find(
    (channel_) => channel_.name === welcomeChannel
  );

// If the channel is not found, return.
if (channel === undefined) return;

// Otherwise send the message.
await channel.send(...);

[ancient nova]

settings.welcomeChannel will return the users choice of channel, whether it is an ID, channel mention or a channel name

[earnest phoenix]

And your point?

[ancient nova]

settings by itself won't really work as you think it does

it will return a map of settings

[earnest phoenix]

I literally wrote that based off of the code you showed

[ancient nova]

whoops now I see how it works

I just woke up don't blame me

[wheat mesa]

Sure, but you’re using it for basic things. Regex is slow. File size basically does not matter in this case. So many reasons to not use regex here :p

[ancient nova]

shouldn't you await cache.get and cache.find?

[wheat mesa]

No

Cache is not a promise

[ancient nova]

😐

[wheat mesa]

Anything from cache is stored in memory already

[ancient nova]

okay understood

[ancient nova]

well it's still useful in the the case which I've showed

checking for <# and > without regex would be a pain

[wheat mesa]

Ever heard of .substring() 😛

[ancient nova]

😐

[cinder patio]

regex is good yes

but not always

[ancient nova]

@earnest phoenix it works with mentions but doesn't work with names

ERROR Uncaught Exception: TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'cache')

tried fixing it myself but nothing worked

[earnest phoenix]

Because I forgot to put the s after channel

I edited the code so try it

[ancient nova]

I'll try ```js
if (channelIdReg.test(welcomeChannel)) {
channel = member.guild.channels.cache.get(welcomeChannel);
// Match against the channel regex.
} else if ((match = welcomeChannel.match(channelMentionReg)) !== null) else {
// If it matched, get channel by ID.
channel = member.guild.channels.cache.get(match[1]);
} else {
// Otherwise find by channel name.
channel = member.guild.channels.cache.find((channel_) => channel_.name === welcomeChannel);
}

[earnest phoenix]

Uh, you've got an extra else at almost the end of the second if statement

[ancient nova]

wut

oh

[stiff lynx]

showing the list of guilds where the bot is, is against discord tos?

[stiff lynx]

you Better fetch for Channel, instead of cache

[spark flint]

no

topgg don't approve bots if anyone can run that command

only the developer should be able to run it

[stiff lynx]

I've asked this question bcs I'm doing a partnership command where a partner is send in other servers, I have a counter that update the message, for example 'message send in 3 servers' => 'message send in 4 server' and for make the command more real I would like to change it in 'message send in Server A' => 'message send in server B' and at the end say like 'message send in 10 servers'

I wanted to know if this was against discord tos

[earnest phoenix]

I dont think its against the tos if the server owners can set the message sending channel

or can turn it on/off

many anime api's don't properly label series and can send nsfw, or even illegal content(in some countries) when filtering.

also, it seems the reason they gave is much more broad than just the api's you use. it could be any feature of your bot.
when they say "APIs" they are referring to the discord APIs

[lament rock]

they never give specific details

They explicitly say 3rd party APIs btw

[solemn latch]

👀 where?

[lament rock]

oh nvm I am so fucking tired

my bad

they implicitly mean 3rd party APIs

[solemn latch]

well, in the dev terms of service "APIs" always refers to the discord API's

I'm trying to run a script within JSDOM, however I get the error that imgReverser isn't defined. I'm attempting to access a function in read.min.js, but what's strange is that when running await imgReverser("a") in dev tools the code runs. It's just within NodeJS that I encounter the error that imgReverser isn't defined.
Code: https://sourceb.in/ZZ3bHp63fe

This is what I send into dev tools:

imgReverser("link_to_image").then(canvas => {
  console.log(canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9));
});

The output is as expected which is data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/.....

[ancient nova]

I have a couple messages that I return within the script but somehow multiple returns activate???

how is that even possible

[split hazel]

code and example?

only one return can activate unless you're doing something wrong

[proven lantern]

is there a website that lists all the utf characters/emojis and lets you know which OSs they are available on?

[split hazel]

yeah i think so

tho you generally shouldnt worry about that

if you really need an emoji to be shown everywhere you need to use your own emote pack

not sure about operating systems but this is as close as i found https://unicode.org/emoji/charts/full-emoji-list.html

[proven lantern]

i'm thinking about replacing -> and <- with something like this ⇠ ⇢

[proven lantern]

thanks, check this out

[split hazel]

oh thats a character

[proven lantern]

oh nice

[split hazel]

it should be supported pretty much everywhere

unicode characters are very widely supported

[proven lantern]

i guess i could look at the value of it. the higher it is the less it's supported probably

[split hazel]

yeah

[ancient nova]

looks like it was myfault

does anyone have any idea how to use the .replace function on a json?

[split hazel]

what are you trying to do?

[ancient nova]

get a json, and format it

obviously what I've done doesn't work

[solemn latch]

what is response?
.json() can be a promise depending on what response is

[ancient nova]

response from a node-fetch call

I've awaited the function

not sure if that is enough?

[solemn latch]

you need to await the json() function too

[ancient nova]

how do I await a .then() func then?

[solemn latch]

you cant afaik

[ancient nova]

then(async (response) => {}) is what I've been trying to do

[ancient nova]

then how am I supposed to await the json function???

[solemn latch]

https://i.imgur.com/IqFkzRF.png

[ancient nova]

😐

[stiff lynx]

People that doesnt pay attension triggers me ngl

[ancient nova]

I've been trying to avoid doing just that

isn't .then supposed to magically resolve the json anyway

[solemn latch]

I dont see you use .then either

[stiff lynx]

me 2

[ancient nova]

a double then will solve everything

[ancient nova]

cause I haven't shown it

[stiff lynx]

what

u r replacing value

[ancient nova]

then(response => response.json).then(result => result);; result being a json which I can work with

[stiff lynx]

by replacing values?

[solemn latch]

thats kind of hard to read isnt it?

[stiff lynx]

I find It useles, u r using replace()

[ancient nova]

problem is I'm trying to format the json within the .then func so I can callback into the variable the fetch is placed in the first place

[stiff lynx]

and replacing the same values

[ancient nova]

just formating them. from true to True

[stiff lynx]

y u don't Just pur toLowerCase() in the input?

and avoiding this

for True and False u can put toLowerCase () and replace only the undefined

[ancient nova]

forEach doesn't even work

how come, it is a json, right

[solemn latch]

its an object at that point

objects are not iterable,

[stiff lynx]

imo working directly at the data input is easier than doing this

[ancient nova]

how do I format this then?

I'm so confused

[stiff lynx]

me too about this

[ancient nova]

the ${}? I just wanted to make sure it's a string

[solemn latch]

wont that just turn it into [Object object]

[ancient nova]

it shouldn't

[solemn latch]

https://i.imgur.com/VzbWAow.png

[ancient nova]

it does appear to work as a json normally and I can use it like response_.result

[solemn latch]

its not a json, its an object

[ancient nova]

then what is the point of .json()

[solemn latch]

response.json() returns a promise of an object

to turn a string into an object

[stiff lynx]

what Is this console? 👀

[ancient nova]

that is why I used a double .then()...

[ancient nova]

inspect

[solemn latch]

f12 on chrome 😄

[stiff lynx]

lol

[ancient nova]

is it even possible to keep it all inside the .then() func...

I need it to be like this otherwise the code will look bloated

[stiff lynx]

Obj are not iterable

Woo already told u

[ancient nova]

is there no other way to do this?

[solemn latch]

sure, it just seems like you're trying to do random stuff until it works.

That will take days to get something kind of working

[stiff lynx]

days if u are optimistic

[ancient nova]

so I'm gonna have to do response_.something.replace(...).replace(...) for every single string then?

[stiff lynx]

WHAT IS THIS REPLACE MAN

replace concatenation

[ancient nova]

okay it's not causing any issues I'll fix it later

focus on the error

[solemn latch]

whats the error?

[stiff lynx]

send a beatufull code block with the err

[ancient nova]

forEach is not a function.. like I said I need to make it iterate somehow to format it

[stiff lynx]

💀

[solemn latch]

if you want to iterate over an object youll need to turn it into an array, then back into an object

[stiff lynx]

so u want to loop all over the JSON and change the values?

[stiff lynx]

toArray()?

[solemn latch]

https://www.javatpoint.com/javascript-object-entries-method#:~:text=JavaScript Object.entries () method is used to return,property [key%2C value] pair are to be returned.
^ will turn an object into an array of key value pairs.

What is a good way to execute code on a website and return the data using NodeJS? I'm trying to run a script with JSDOM, however I get the error that imgReverser isn't defined. I'm attempting to access a function in read.min.js, but what's strange is that when running await imgReverser("a") in dev tools the code runs. It's just within NodeJS that I encounter the error that imgReverser isn't defined.
Code: https://sourceb.in/ZZ3bHp63fe

However, despite these issues, I don’t want to use a headless browser like Puppeteer or Selenium. Using those tools are extremely resource intensive and take a while to load. I’m hosting my web server on a 2 GB VPS, so unfortunately headless browsers aren’t a good option at the moment :/

[solemn latch]

This kind of looks like two questions right?

so imgReverser is a function ran on the website right?

[simple stump]

Yeah it sort of is 2 questions.
#1: What is an alternative to JSDOM that isn’t a headless browser in the case I can’t get #2 solved?
#2: How can I execute functions in external scripts?

And imgReverser is a function ran on the website, yes. It’s in the reader.min.js file.

I think I’m misunderstanding JSDOM a bit though lol. If it helps I can send the code I used when I get back on my laptop.

[simple stump]

I’ll rq try this though. Ty for your help!

[simple stump]

Yeah I just tried this:

Nothing is logged or appended unfortunately.

I do get an error thrown from runScripts: "dangerously" so I'm trying to use outside-only instead of dangerously, but its the same result regardless.

Weird. I just created a basic test program which does something similar. Same result. Nothing gets appended. I included a test image and the actual min file if it's helpful to anyone.

Need some help with making a bot on MacOS
Been trying to get everything to work but as soon as that happens, another issue comes along.
I am using Python to make a custom bot for my server and I can't seem to download the Discord library. I use the command pip install discord but it responds with pip: command not found
Any help would be appreciated.

[solemn latch]

in the head it should preload the data before anything else.
what I think is happening, since its not in the head its sending the request for https://mangareader.to/js/read.min.js?v=4.6 then instantly running the next part before read.min.js is loaded

(someone correct me if I'm wrong)

[quartz kindle]

yes, woo is right, you cant run async code like that

check their example for how to use async loading again, everything that is async needs to be done like that

because jsdom is synchronous, it doesnt wait for any async code execution, hence why you only get empty data

[quartz kindle]

did you install python? how did you install it?

ok so im comming from python learned some js not advanced tho basically im trying to

a = 5
b = "."
print(b*a)``` in js

im getting js NaN

That's not a thing in JS

[velvet jolt]

let a = 5
let b = "."
console.log(b*a)```

yeah noticed

[cinder patio]

b.repeat(a)

what is the logic of multiplying a dot by 5?

ah you want to do string repetition?

python result:

a = 5
b = "."

I'm a bit confused on how to use their example. I'm unfamiliar with using window.onModulesLoaded() since I get the error that the function isn't defined.

[quartz kindle]

thats not the point

the example shows node.js creating a custom function and attaching it to window

onModulesLoaded would be this custom function

then the the script from inside jsdom will access this function to signal the node side

const dom = new JSDOM(...) // create the dom
dom.window.MYCUSTOMFUNCTION = (data) => { // attach a custom function to the window object
  console.log(data) // this will be executed when this function is called

Oh I see. I misinterpreted the documentation. Thank you! That's super helpful.

[simple stump]

Alright I think I'm not doing this correctly haha. The documentation is a bit confusing to me unfortunately. This is what I have so far:

let d = "some_url";
script.textContent = `
// Added this, didn't work either unfortunately.
a().then(res => {
  window.a(res);
});
async function a() {
  let canvas = await imgReverser('${d}');
  const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9);
  let newP = document.createElement('img');
  newP.src = uri;
  newP.classList.add('asdfasdf');
  document.body.appendChild(newP);
  return newP;
}
`;
newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);
let dataa = await newDOM.window.a;
stuff.push(dataa);

Does JSDOM have a virtual canvas as well?? I doubt it does

[hexed hound]

Hey programmers! 🙂

Thought I might try here

I am coding a Connect 4 game. I need to display a board image which updates after user input based on where they place the circle.

Now the problem is I have been trying to think of a way to pass in a two dimensional array representing the board state and this function returns an image of the board (basically visualizing the array).

Does anyone have an idea in mind on how to implement this function? Is it possible?

Here are some ideas that I have thought initially but are not efficient:

1. Have an images folder with every possible combination of board state and fetch the image based on the array. Can't do that since it will take a ton of time to create images of all possible states.

2. Call an API endpoint where I generate the image in HTML/CSS (DOM), then respond with an image of that. Scratched that too since I am not experienced with React/Angular/Vue or anything similar, will have to host that somehow too and lastly I am not certain if you can generate an image from HTML/CSS and respond with that.

[quartz kindle]

what are you working with? node.js?

[hexed hound]

yes, specifically discord bot

[quartz kindle]

you can always use canvas

[hexed hound]

is this a js feature/package?

[quartz kindle]

or any image compositing library if you have the board components as images, like jimp, sharp, gm, etc

[hexed hound]

hmm

board components?

[quartz kindle]

lets say you have an image of the empty board, and two images of the pieces, one for each player color. you can do basic image compositing, ie merge the background image with copies of the pieces images in specific x-y positions

[hexed hound]

oh wow

[quartz kindle]

you can do that with sharp for example, a pretty popular image manipulation library

[hexed hound]

thats sounds exactly what I wanted

i will def check that out

[quartz kindle]

alternatively, you can fully draw the board and the pieces from scratch using geometric shapes and lines without needing any image, you can do that with canvas

[hexed hound]

appreciate it, did not know there were such libraries around

[quartz kindle]

both of them require native code tho, so you will need to have your build tools in order

ie windows-build-tools on windows, or build-essential on linux

[hexed hound]

what is native code?

[quartz kindle]

code written in C/C++

linked to node.js

[hexed hound]

welp that wont do it then :/

dont know any c++

[quartz kindle]

you dont need to

the libraries sharp and canvas are written in C/C++

you just need to have the tools to compile them before you can use them in node

npm does all of that for you, as long as you have the tools installed

[hexed hound]

i see, how will that affect the hosting part?

files and bot is run on a server

[quartz kindle]

if you have a vps running linux, just install the build tools there

if you're using something like heroku, you might need to search for specific build-packs

if you're using a cheap hosting that uses one of those pterodactyl control panels, you might need to ask support to help you if you get errors

[hexed hound]

i see, will ask the provider for info on this if they support it

im using sparkedhost

[quartz kindle]

first try installing the library and see if you get any error

ie: npm install sharp

[simple stump]

It does I believe. It works fine when I call a() in the dev tools console.

[hexed hound]

tomorrow hopefully! 🙂 bed time now

[quartz kindle]

what does dataa log?

also you didnt do it right

[simple stump]

undefined

[simple stump]

yeah thats what i thought... sorry im kinda struggling to understand the docs lol

[quartz kindle]

let d = "some_url";
script.textContent = `
window.a = async function {
  let canvas = await imgReverser('${d}');
  const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9);
  let newP = document.createElement('img');
  newP.src = uri;
  newP.classList.add('asdfasdf');
  document.body.appendChild(newP);
  return newP;
}
`;
newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);
let dataa = await newDOM.window.a();
stuff.push(dataa);
``` does that work?

[simple stump]

lemme try

Says it isn't a function. Hm.

const newDOM = await JSDOM.fromURL(requestChapter.url.href, { runScripts: "outside-only", resources: "usable", virtualConsole });
const script = newDOM.window.document.createElement('script');

script.textContent = `
window.a = async function {
  let canvas = await imgReverser('${d}');
  const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9);
  let newP = document.createElement('img');
  newP.src = uri;
  newP.classList.add('asdfasdf');
  document.body.appendChild(newP);
  return newP;
}
`;
newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);
let dataa = await newDOM.window.a();
stuff.push(dataa);

I'll also try in the dev tools console

[quartz kindle]

forgot () sorry

window.a = async function() {

[simple stump]

Yea just noticed haha.

Still says it isn't a function :/

trying in dev tools rn

Works fine in dev tools.

[quartz kindle]

what about this? ```js
let d = "some_url";
script.textContent = async function a() { let canvas = await imgReverser('${d}'); const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9); let newP = document.createElement('img'); newP.src = uri; newP.classList.add('asdfasdf'); document.body.appendChild(newP); window.b(newP); } a();
newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);
newDOM.window.b = (data) => {
console.log(data);
}

[simple stump]

lemme try 👍

my function is setup weirdly lol so i cant log it for some reason. could i do let dataa = await newDOM.window.b();?

async getImages(requestChapter, id) {
  const newDOM = await JSDOM.fromURL(requestChapter.url.href, { runScripts: "outside-only", resources: "usable", virtualConsole });
  const script = newDOM.window.document.createElement('script');

  script.textContent = `
        async function a() {
            let canvas = await imgReverser('${d}');
            const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9);
            let newP = document.createElement('img');
            newP.src = uri;
            newP.classList.add('asdfasdf');
            document.body.appendChild(newP);
            window.b(newP);
        }
        a()
  `;
  let dataa = await newDOM.window.b;
  newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);
  stuff.push(dataa);
  return stuff[0];
}

[quartz kindle]

no, let dataa = await newDOM.window.b makes no logical sense

[simple stump]

okay thats what a thought rip. aight nvm lemme try smth else rq

Yeah idk whats going on with my functions it just isnt logging anything and res returns null

[quartz kindle]

did you try my code example?

[simple stump]

yea im trying rq.

it returns undefined

i think

function doSomething() {
  return this.getImages(request, readingID).then(res => {
    if (!res) {
      return null;
    } else {
      return res.call();
    }
  });
}

async getImages(requestChapter, id) {
  const newDOM = await JSDOM.fromURL(requestChapter.url.href, { runScripts: "outside-only", resources: "usable", virtualConsole });
  const script = newDOM.window.document.createElement('script');
  script.textContent = `
        async function a() {
            let canvas = await imgReverser('${d}');
            const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9);
            let newP = document.createElement('img');
            newP.src = uri;
            newP.classList.add('asdfasdf');
            document.body.appendChild(newP);
            window.b(newP);
        }
        a()
  `;
  newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);
  return newDOM.window.b = (data) => {
    console.log(data);
            
    stuff.push(data);
            //return stuff[0];
    return data;
  };
}

[quartz kindle]

that will always return undefined, but does it log anything on the nodejs side?

[simple stump]

nah

it doesnt log anythjing or at least i cant get it to

[quartz kindle]

what if you do window.b("abc");

[simple stump]

i feel like im doin smth wrong tho

[simple stump]

ill try that

[quartz kindle]

just to see if any data can come accross

ah

also

newDOM.window.b = (data) => {

needs to be before appendchild

well actually it doesnt really matter, but its safer that way

[simple stump]

aight ill try that. tysm for your help

it says it isnt a function

newDOM.window.b("something"); i mean

[quartz kindle]

thats not what i meant

i meant replace this

window.b(newP);

for example ```js
let d = "some_url";
script.textContent = async function a() { window.b("abc"); } a();
newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);
newDOM.window.b = (data) => {
console.log(data);
}

[simple stump]

oh wait ic. mb.

it prints undefined

        script.textContent = `
        async function a() {
            let canvas = await imgReverser('${d}');
            const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9);
            let newP = document.createElement('img');
            newP.src = uri;
            newP.classList.add('asdfasdf');
            document.body.appendChild(newP);
            window.b("abc");
        }
        a()
        `;

[quartz kindle]

can you put together a very basic test to see if this even works?

[simple stump]

will do 👍

[quartz kindle]

just these two tests ```js
// test 1
const newDOM = await JSDOM.fromURL(requestChapter.url.href, { runScripts: "outside-only", resources: "usable" });
const script = newDOM.window.document.createElement('script');
script.textContent = window.a("test");
newDOM.window.a = (data) => console.log(data);
newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);

// test 2
const newDOM = await JSDOM.fromURL(requestChapter.url.href, { runScripts: "outside-only", resources: "usable" });
const script = newDOM.window.document.createElement('script');
script.textContent = window.a = () => "test";
newDOM.window.document.body.appendChild(script);
console.log(newDOM.window.a());

if these dont work, try them again with runScripts: "dangerous"

[simple stump]

So just window.a("test")? I don't need the await imgReverser?

[quartz kindle]

no, remove everything else, just do the test

[simple stump]

okay

Test 1 doesn't log anything.

Test 2 returns newDOM.window.a isn't a function.

Lemme try the runScripts thing

Same thing for test 2. Test 1 works actually and test is logged

Just taht I get a ton of errors saying, "MessageChannel isn't defined" and issues with grecaptcha lol

but ty this is super helpful

[quartz kindle]

ok so based on that, this ^ should work in dangerous mode

but the question is whether the returned value will be what you expect

what exactly is the return value you want?

[simple stump]

Sorry I had to go to my brother's recital lol. I want to return uri:

let canvas = await imgReverser('https://some_image.com');
const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9);

[simple stump]

Just tried this. Doesn't seem to work for some reason. Tried running it from the website URL via fromURL but since I'm using runScripts: "dangerously" it threw a lot of errors and crashed the web server.
https://sourceb.in/b2tJG00mt7

Never mind. Just realized that the URL I inputted was wrong haha. When I use window.b though, I get the error saying it isn't a function.

async function a() {
  let canvas = await imgReverser('imgurl');
  const uri = canvas.toDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.9);
  let newP = document.createElement('img');
  newP.src = uri;
  newP.classList.add('asdfasdf');
  document.body.appendChild(newP);
  window.b(uri);
}
a()

[quartz kindle]

did you add the newDOM.window.b = (data) => console.log(data);?

[sharp geyser]

Should I make it so the super class 'Channel' can accept any kind of channel data to make a basic channel?

or should i not bother with having any actual data with the Channel class and just have useful methods other classes that extend it should need so I dont gotta duplicate code yknow

[lyric mountain]

Superclass should be just commonly shared methods and stuff like id

The child classes can then inherit it and have their specific methods and properties

Don't nest channels within channels, that'll just result in mess

[sharp geyser]

I am trying to make any understanding of how djs does it but it is hard to even comprehend those mega brain people

One thing I did notice is that it seems like they have a static create method on the super class that converts the data given to their respective channel types

why they made it static tho I have no idea as it seems like they never actually use it like how you'd use a static method

[simple stump]

Yes.
https://sourceb.in/HiEgYDBqSO

[quartz kindle]

what is this? window.b = (uri);

[simple stump]

When using window.b("asdf") or window.b(uri) I get the error that window.b isn't a function.

[quartz kindle]

that doesnt explain where that idea came from, window.b = (uri); makes no logical sense

[simple stump]

Yeah I'm not sure what I'm doing tbh. I'm quite unfamiliar with DOM

[quartz kindle]

try putting the ```js
newDOM.window.b = (data) => {
console.log(data);
}

[simple stump]

ive been trying to do some reesearch and slowly learning how dom works

[simple stump]

aight

Yeah nothing is logged.

[sharp geyser]

This is why I love ts cause you can just overwrite types and tell it to fuck off

[quartz kindle]

um wat

[simple stump]

I tried replacing window.b = uri with window.b(uri) and I still get the error that window.b isn't a function (in the DOM not NodeJS)

[simple stump]

Oh wait I forgot that I returned the HTML of the DOM and displayed it using ExpressJS

The image works

and loads

[sharp geyser]

ts allows you to overwrite some stuff and basically tell it yes this does exist on it

[simple stump]

its just that getting the data doesnt work

[sharp geyser]

Tho it probably isn't a good idea to really do that as it has no actual value

[simple stump]

using newDOM.window.b = ...

[quartz kindle]

you said it like "being able to tell it to fuck off" is an advantage, while in js you dont need to tell it because it fucks off by default

lmao

[simple stump]

Using Cheerio to fetch the HTML elements doesn't work etiher cause the image loads AFTER the page itself. one solution is to just use jsdom again for the actual html and then get the source but i feel thats inefficient

anyways i sorta got it to work so ty for your help. ill see if i can find smth more efficient rq

[sharp geyser]

It isn't really an advantage just something you could do to make it shut up about it not existing, tho if you do it right you don't generally have to do that

[simple stump]

ts is cool from what ic. i tried to get into it but stopped abt 5 min thru the docs

[sharp geyser]

Ima be honest I haven't really read the documentation other then about decorators and generics

[simple stump]

thats my approach to any language to 🙏 makes coding 10x harder sadly

tbh i didnt learn abt module.exports until 6 months ago

[sharp geyser]

Indeed

I have a small attention span

[simple stump]

even tho ive been doing js for a while now

[simple stump]

same

[quartz kindle]

could you explain again what exactly you're trying to do? i have the feeling that you shouldnt be needing jsdom at all

[simple stump]

Sorry I probably explained everything very poorly. Basically there's a website that has a read.min.js file. It has the function imgReverser that decrypts/decodes images and encrypts/encodes it. I want to call that function, but I can't just copy + paste it since it uses a lot of functions from the min file.

So my solution at the moment is to create an HTML file, require the min file using <script>, then using JSDOM add a script that has the image I'm trying to decode that I fetch on the node side and run it.

[quartz kindle]

and what images are these?

can you link an example?

[simple stump]

yea sec

[daring apex]

const ytdl = require("ytdl-core");

It's not working 😑

[simple stump]

and yea im making a web scraper 🙏

[quartz kindle]

wheres the part that needs decoding?

[simple stump]

what isnt working? do you get any errors?

[simple stump]

the images are all messed up if you can see. some parts of it are overlapped, some are misplaced, etc.

[daring apex]

Yes it's shows null but sill not working

[simple stump]

ill try to find the link to the website if it helps

[simple stump]

what shows null? what isnt working?

[daring apex]

This script

Don't know

And even the bots online too

[simple stump]

if you can describe your error we can help you. idk what exactly is wrong since theres no error message you sent and you didn't paste all your code. also, in the future i suggest sending your code via paste bins like https://sourceb.in or https://pastebin.com

[quartz kindle]

and you have to scrap this exact website? cant do it on any of the other dozens of manga websites out there?

[simple stump]

i can. i got 7 other sites working. its just i already spent like 2 hours setting up the searching, image fetching, chapters, etc. and i dont want to quit now haha. i think its possible since i got this far already and have been able to pass other issues for other sites

but i see what u mean. it might be best to try a diff site. regardless, tysm for your help. i really appreciate it

i dont think i would even get the image displaying to work if it wasnt for your help so thank you

[daring apex]

Loli didn't put const discord.js = require ("discord.js")

[rocky hearth]

does vsc "organize imports" works for commonjs imports?

[quartz kindle]

so i tested it a bit, and basically just copying and pasting the entire script was enough to make that particular function work

even though the script errors, the errors do not affect the parts needed for the reverser function

meaning if you work on deobfuscating and cleaning the script, you will eventually be able to isolate and extract the functions needed

[sharp geyser]

tim has anyone told you how cute you are?

but i dont wanna be cute

i wanna be rich

[sharp geyser]

Man you and me both buddy

😔

[simple stump]

Oh wait fr? That's super helpful. Thank you i don't know why I didnt just do that. regardless tho im still having issues wth the async stuff but hopefully just using the min file will work

[quartz kindle]

also what the fuck is this

function toFinite(_0xf384) {
    return _0xf384 ? (_0xf384 = toNumber(_0xf384)) !== 0x1 / 0x0 && _0xf384 !== -0x1 / 0x0 ? _0xf384 == _0xf384 ? _0xf384 : 0x0 : 0xfffffffffffff800000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 * (_0xf384 < 0x0 ? -0x1 : 0x1) : 0x0 === _0xf384 ? _0xf384 : 0x0;
}

lmfao

[simple stump]

min file moment

[quartz kindle]

its literally a hex representation of Number.MAX_VALUE

probably made by a transpiler set to lower versions of js where MAX_VALUE might not exist

[simple stump]

lmao yea that would prob make sense

idk what sane person would actually type out that many 0's

||https://mangareader.to//js/read.js?v=4.6||
Oh i found the non-minified version. Only issue is that it doesn't have the imgReverser function 💀

I removed some unnecessary parts of the script but now am encountering some weird issues with functions

[quartz kindle]

this worked for me on dev tools

try {
  entire read.min.js code here
} catch(e) {}

imgReverser(...)

[simple stump]

Thanks lemme try that out rq. I'm attempting to isolate the imgReverser function but deobfuscating min files is painful

[quartz kindle]

best case scenario would include making it work on pure nodejs using the canvas library

[simple stump]

Yeah probably. I'll see if I can deobfuscate the function from some online tool or smth and see if that works

[quartz kindle]

well good luck, im gonna go sleep

Yoyo

You have mutual top-level imports, which is almost always a bad idea.

If you really must have mutual imports in Python, the way to do it is to import them within a function:

In b.py:

def cause_a_to_do_something():
import a
a.do_something()
Now a.py can safely do import b without causing problems.

(At first glance it might appear that cause_a_to_do_something() would be hugely inefficient because it does an import every time you call it, but in fact the import work only gets done the first time. The second and subsequent times you import a module, it's a quick operation.)

Found a fix for you bud

What imports lol

Plus I feel like it's pointless to do local imports unless you know what you're doing

So in react I have a select form input inside of a component but the problem is when that component re-renders fully, the select form loses its state going back to the default select, what is the best way to solve this?

I can make it stateful by adding a useState but dont know how I would preverse the state with a select

nevermind it was easier than i thought just add a value={state} to the select

How can I download a sent voice message using the WhatsApp API?

I have to download audio message and convert it to ogg format

[split hazel]

that is a very broad question

[rigid maple]

I take data in the form of downloadMedia().data in whatsapp-web.js and convert it to base64 format

and i print it to another ogg file

but this gives no result in my speech to text function, although it gives a result when opened normally
