I think more users are just finding out about slash commands. Theyāre actually pretty convenient to use compared to message commands

Nope. Users on slash have exactly the same user experience as users on prefixed commands. I'm just kinda promoting slash as the default prefix but not a lot.

Weird how?
if i remember correctly a bot i used to run sometimes used a shit ton of ram per cluster and that caused the node process to sometimes freeze completely, or at least parts of it such as connections, so the process would log and work but connections would just completely freeze and everything becomes very weird
the freezing isnt only temporary, that i would understand considering the gc is trying not to die
wheat mesa
i disagree, but that's alright
Think about it this way, instead of having 30 different -optionFlagName toggles that you have to use a help command to find, you can use boolean options and explain what they do in the description field
rose warren
I prefer slash commands by far. If I were to make a new bot tomorrow I would go 100% slash.

Makes it a lot easier for the average user that doesnāt want to spend 30 minutes shuffling through a help command just to do something in a command

rose warren
I wasn't sold on them in the beginning but after rewriting my bot and being forced to test them and use them I actually prefer them now. They're much easier as a user, they save time, they're easy to type and select, and when made properly by the dev, they guide you through the required parameters which means there's less of a chance of a user running the command incorrectly or struggling to read through documentation to figure out how to use command options.

I suppose either the gateway refuses to continue the connection for some reason that may relate to either the process not responding back due to the event loop being frozen, either because of too much memory usage above the set max memory space, or something related to the libraries used to do the connections, whenever you did that; it's probably fixed now or someway, if it's not then it's probably the first case

But once you know how to use the command that benefit is gone and where I am from most users are used to multi-flag commands

formatting is very nice too
rose warren
But if you use the -prefix, the bot will show you the -prefix in the response (like in the help menu etc) and will respond using your preferred prefix. I'm really not forcing them at all.
spark flint
forcing inputted data to be formatted
aka user input MUST be a valid user or user id
fossil bronze
Maybe they have changed slash commands since then, but when I tried them, getting the user inputs was really painful

you are likely trying to show an object in a string

you are likely trying to show an object in a string
yeah.. do I put it in a variable then instead?
sharp geyser
Well what exactly are you doing first
cause I am not going to just guess what is happening
ancient nova
cause I am not going to just guess what is happening
just trying to freaking map / put all the users into an array who reacted to a message
but I'm having trouble
sharp geyser
isn't joinedUsers already a array?
ancient nova
isn't joinedUsers already a array?
no idea, it returns object Map by itself and when trying to map it it returns object object
sharp geyser
Wait if I remember correctly this is the handler function for your collector right?
ancient nova
this is what joinedUsers it
ancient nova
Wait if I remember correctly this is the handler function for your collector rig...
yes
sharp geyser
so joinedUsers is a collection which extends map
so ofc it will look like that when trying to use it out right
ancient nova
okay that makes sense, how can I fix it?
I tried boxing it into a promise and resolving nothing seems to work
sharp geyser
you could use .join on joinedUsersMap as it is now an array
ancient nova
let me try that
quartz kindle
meaning must store as string
not necessarily, i mean, bigint in v8 is much more memory-friendly than a string representation of the number
and you can always offload you cache to somehting like lmdb or redis which can store them as native 64bit ints
ancient nova
still returns object object
boreal iron
Just log your var and see what its structure actually is
sharp geyser
you mapped it so now it is an array of user objects
map it so it only returns what you want it to ig
quartz kindle
this is what joinedUsers it
that code doesnt make much sense, why are you awaiting collected, then doing collected.size?
and not awaiting endFunc, which is the thing that should actually be awaited
ancient nova
cause checking size doesn't need awaitng as in, for some reason, from what everybody is telling me, to get users I need to do some weird awaiting, mapping or god knows what
boreal iron
quartz kindle
cause checking size doesn't need awaitng as in, for some reason, from what every...
promises dont even have a .size property
ancient nova
well it works so I won't question it
that collected.size returns the size of the reactions
meaning how many people reacted
I'm not structing it
quartz kindle
if it needs to be awaited, it doesnt have .size
if it has .size its not a promise so it does not need to be awaited
ancient nova
it's what discord.js returns
then what am I doing wrong
I just want to display all the users who reacted
to a message
why is everyone making it out so difficult
quartz kindle
.map also does not need awaiting
you are seeing [Object object] because joinedUsersMap is a Map/Object/Array
you cannot convert that to a string directly
you need to either JSON.stringify or join into a string
sharp geyser
you are seeing [Object object] because joinedUsersMap is a Map/Object/Array
but joinedUsersMap is a map of joinedUsers which is the collection
so if he just .map(e => e) doesn't that just turn the contents into an array. So it is still an array of user objects
quartz kindle
exactly, that map is not doing anything
its a collection of objects, so joining objects will implicitly convert them to [object object]
sharp geyser
you can map for specific things though like .map(e => e.username) or smth along those lines
quartz kindle
you need to map into something actually useful ^
boreal iron
Just log your var and see what its structure actually is
I said this for a reason
If people see the structure of their vars they may understand what they have done wrong

sharp geyser

which if I might add
I already told you here
boreal iron
Ah there we go
quartz kindle
bro I don't know what you mean by "map the info into something useful"
can you ...
you have a map of user objects. a user object contains many things, for exampe id, username, avatar, etc
you need to specify which part of the user object you want
thats what we mean with "remap into something useful"
boreal iron
If you donāt and map the entire object (item) the result is the same as the array youāre trying to map in the beginning
quartz kindle

ancient nova
quartz kindle

boreal iron
oof
ancient nova
quartz kindle
if that is showing null, that means those are not even users
what exactly are you collecting?
ancient nova
I'm collecting freaking reactions, and trying to get who reacted out of them...
boreal iron
Is this the same collector like the last discussion?
ancient nova
like literally trying to take all the users who reacted into an array map or anything I just want them stored
ancient nova
Is this the same collector like the last discussion?
yes, but I've stopped cause I was angry at it
why can't nobody just tell me straight how to store users who reacted to a single message
boreal iron
I mean people can spoon feed but arenāt there like 1 million examples out there how a reaction collector works?
Iām sure there are
ancient nova
no I've literally been browing google for shitty examples that don't work or explain anything
quartz kindle
show your collector code
ancient nova
it was formatted better before I just changed it to a code an other guy who tried to help me gave me
it didn't work either though.
quartz kindle
ok there are a few things that are wrong
users and reactions are separate things, im not sure what djs's collected returns on the end event, but i assume its only the reactions and not users
so the safe way would be to collect the users in the collect event
simiarly to how you are counting the number of users
ancient nova
so something like this?
I wanted to do that from the start but someone said that's not how you do it
jesus christ
quartz kindle
well dont blindly follow people and try to read docs instead
and console.log your variables so you dont do it blindly
ancient nova
yeah I should've done that
if I have picked a word how can I slice it into individual letters to put into an array?
woeful pike
ancient nova
ok that will probably require doing some math
if I have a word and split it into _ using .repeat
startingEmbed.addField("Letters Guessed", "_".repeat(wordToGuess.length));
how can I replace the specific letter if guessed instead of _?
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'awaitMessages')
const startGame = async function (joined) {
const peoplePlaying = joined;
const wordToGuess = possible_words[Math.floor(Math.random() * possible_words.length)].toUpperCase();

const startingEmbed = new MessageEmbed();
startingEmbed.setTitle("Hang Man");
startingEmbed.setColor(commandColor);
startingEmbed.addField("Current Players", peoplePlaying.join(", "));
startingEmbed.addField("Letters Guessed", "_".repeat(wordToGuess.length));
const startingMessage = message.channel.send({embeds: [startingEmbed]});
const filter = (reaction, member) => peoplePlaying.includes(member.user.username);
const collection = await startingMessage.channel.awaitMessages({ filter, time: 180000 });
const replaceAt = function(text, index, replacement) {
return text.substring(0, index) + replacement + text.substring(index + replacement.length);
}
collection.on('collect', (msg) => {
if (lettersToGuess.includes(msg.content)) {
const msgIndex = wordToGuess.indexOf(msg.content);
let newGuessedText = replaceAt(wordToGuess, wordToGuess, msg.content);
const startingEmbed = new MessageEmbed();
startingEmbed.setTitle("Hang Man");
startingEmbed.setColor(commandColor);
startingEmbed.addField("Current Players", peoplePlaying.join(", "));
startingEmbed.addField("Letters Guessed", newGuessedText);

});
}
any ideas?

instead of messing around on discord constantly restarting and reconnecting your bot. Go write a test and keep changing stuff until it passes. By the end you'll have a working test suite instead of a channel with 800 spammed messages

you absolutely can. You just need to not tightly couple your game
if it's intended for discord why would I try making it work without it just for the purpose of testing
it will take twice as long to code and test
even if the game logic works flawlessly integrating it to work with discord afterwards also takes time

not as much as making the game itself

https://sourceb.in/eITrejT74a, just wanna try about connecting 2 js files using discordjs, but how do I call the async execute for client, message, args, prefix on my levels.js?
ancient nova
I want to repleace a word with a letter but keep everything the same. how
word = hey
replace e with i
word = hiy
how can I do that?
but not by text since wordToGuess is just a bunch of _ _ _ _
but by position of the char
so
word = hey
replace 2nd char with i
word = hiy
HOW
TO
DO
THAT
?
woeful pike
keep your string as an array and join it when you need to display it
ancient nova
any idea why this doesn't work?
only works for one letter then breaks
tries used doesn't even count itself for some reason
:/
bright hornet
Yo misty, do you think checking all array for one item is possible?
ancient nova
You have to increment whatever tires used is
I am
if wordToGuess contains the letter, increment choice and if more than 6 choices kill the game
is that not right/
ancient nova
it ony works for 1 letter then stops accepting any others
plus it doesn't seem to count the wrongChoices even though it's clearly there
ever seen a 19kb hangman game
the code is a mess
sharp geyser
Even though you increment wrongChoices you do know you have to edit the embed right
ancient nova
I am
bright hornet
do you intend to replace the _ value to array value?
ancient nova
do you intend to replace the `_` value to `array value`?
no, I just map it, not replace
bright hornet
no, I just map it, not replace
so after the one word
ancient nova
collection.on('collect', (msg) => {
const guessedLetter = msg.content.toUpperCase();
// Checking if the leter includes the any of the correct letters
if (lettersToGuess.includes(guessedLetter)) {
if (!lettersGuessed.includes(guessedLetter)) {
lettersGuessed.push(guessedLetter);
}
// Do a game over screen if player tries too many times.
if (wordToGuess.indexOf(guessedLetter) === -1) {
wrongChoices++;
if (wrongChoices === 6) {
hasWonGame = false;
collection.stop();
}
}
// Check if player won instead of losing.
if (wordToGuess.split("").map(l => lettersGuessed.includes(l) ? l : "_").includes("_")) {
hasWonGame = true;
collection.stop();
}
// Generate a new text after the guess.
const newGuessedText = wordToGuess.split("").map(l => lettersGuessed.includes(l) ? l : "_").join(" ");
const startingEmbed = new MessageEmbed();
startingEmbed.setTitle("Hang Man");
startingEmbed.setDescription("You can guess by sending an individual letter in chat. If guessed properly the message will update. All of you have 3 minutes to win the game, otherwise it will fail automatically! Good Luck!");
startingEmbed.setColor(commandColor);
startingEmbed.addField("Current Players", peoplePlaying.join(", "));
startingEmbed.addField("Letters Guessed", "```" + newGuessedText + "```");
startingEmbed.addField("Tries Used", wrongChoices + "/6");
startingMessage.edit({embeds: [startingEmbed]});
}
});
the function ends?
bright hornet
do looping
ancient nova
what do you mean?
the collector shouldn't be ending for no reason anyway should it. tho
bright hornet
the collector shouldn't be ending for no reason anyway should it. tho
after the collection, if you have loop it will go back

How can I make properties lead to classes? Example:
const a = new Student();
a // Student Class.
a.meow // Meow class
Logging a logs the Student class.
You know, it's like in discord.js. message returns Message and message.channel returns TextChannel, supposedly.
vivid fulcrum
oh, sorry, i misunderstood
feral aspen
module.exports = {
Student: class {
constructor (name, age, ID) {
this.name = name ?? names[Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length)];
this.age = age ?? Math.floor(Math.random() * 13) + 5;
};
},
};
it's just a property on the object like any other
feral aspen
Here's my current class, supposedly.
feral aspen
it's just a property on the object like any other
I mean, that property should be a class and have methods, getters, setters, etc.
feral aspen
this.example = class {}?
vivid fulcrum
this.school = new School(); would create a school property that leads to the school object
also
is there a particular reason why you're creating classes like that
feral aspen
I've trying to achieve same thing like discord.js, but for my own example.
Example, example...
a.name; // Bob
a.age; // 16
a.password; // Returns a class.
a.password.change('NEW_PASSWORD'); // Modifies the password
Hopefully, you understood what I'm trying to achieve.

Ohh, yes. However, I can't just make this.school = new this.school() as a property for the parent constructor?
Oh, wait.

I have to make a whole other class here?
feral aspen
I'm unsure what I'm supposed to be doing, in the first place.
feral aspen
use a normal class definition
How does discord.js have properties that returns classes and have its own methods, properties, etc.
Trying to create a replica but like a student-school system based.
lyric mountain
because they use āļø classes āļø
feral aspen
module.exports = {
Student: class {
constructor (name, age, ID) {
this.name = name ?? names[Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length)];
this.age = age ?? Math.floor(Math.random() * 13) + 5;

}
class School {

}
let std = new Student("Harvard");
console.log(std.school.students); // [[object Student]]
Ohh, alright, alright. š
lyric mountain
also don't save age, save birth year
feral aspen
also don't save age, save birth year
Yes, for real case scenario.
lyric mountain
even for imaginary cases, saving age is asking for having to update your entries each year
just save birth year and do today - birth
feral aspen
Indeed, for now, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can about classes and figure out how prototypes, inheritance, etc. works.
lyric mountain
even better then, make a getAge to convert birth year to age
feral aspen
In terms of <Class>.prototype, does it work with class <Class Name> or only for function classes like let a = () => { this.name = 'm' };
lyric mountain
prototype is something that should never be touched
but if you really need to, it works with anything that extends Object
so anything in js
feral aspen
What if I want to make my own methods?
lyric mountain
then u add the methods to the class
feral aspen
This is my current code, for example:
const { names } = require('../functions/names.js');
class Student {
constructor (name, age, ID) {
this.name = name ?? names[Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length)];
this.age = age ?? Math.floor(Math.random() * 13) + 5;
this.loggedIn = false;
};
};
Student.prototype.login = () => {
this.loggedIn = true;
console.log(`Successfully logged in to your account. Welcome, ${this.name}.`);
}
module.exports = { Student };
this.name would return undefined.
lyric mountain
class Student {
constructor(name) {
this.name = name;
}
function login() {
this.loggedIn = true;
console.log(`Successfully logged in to your account. Welcome, ${this.name}.`);
}
}
Without the function.
lyric mountain
WITH function
feral aspen
HUH, it errors?
lyric mountain
re-check ur scope
earnest phoenix
You can't use the function keyword to denote methods in a class
lyric mountain
really?
feral aspen
I don't think, yeah.
feral aspen
However, when I am in the console and I log a in const a = new Student(), it shows the methods too which I don't want but instead put in the prototype of Student.
feral aspen
This is my current code, for example:
```js
const { names } = require('../functi...
How may I achieve so if I have the following above code?
lyric mountain
tf I swear function was used for declaring functions
feral aspen
tf I swear `function` was used for declaring functions
Outside of classes, yes.
Or in object properties.
const a = { f: function() {} }
earnest phoenix
However, when I am in the console and I log `a` in `const a = new Student()`, it...
Methods are supposed to be shown, if you don't want to be shown then you have to define the methods as innumerable
lyric mountain
However, when I am in the console and I log `a` in `const a = new Student()`, it...
override toString
feral aspen
Methods are supposed to be shown, if you don't want to be shown then you have to...
What does that mean?
I mean, it did say I can just use prototypes to achieve such so.
lyric mountain
no u cant
feral aspen
Following a tutorial, I mean, it does, no?
https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/ZfjHiNPSHf
lyric mountain
prototype should not be used unless it's absolutely necessary
it's, imo, a flaw of js
feral aspen
I mean, the prototype I'm using is for a class (that I created), only.
lyric mountain
still
lyric mountain
no, declare its properties and functions inside it's definition
then simply use it
feral aspen
So I just put the function inside the class as a method, that's it?
earnest phoenix
What does that mean?
For example
class Foo {
constructor(bar) { this.baz = bar; }
}
Object.defineProperty(Foo.prototype, {
value: function biz() {
return this.baz + 1;
},
enumrable: false
});
That's the way to define innumerable properties/methods, just as you wanted as you said you didn't want the methods to show up
You can use the Object.defineProperties() method to define multiple
lyric mountain
not really worth the extra work tbh
feral aspen
So I just put the function inside the class as a method, that's it?
God, I guess I'll stick to this, then?
earnest phoenix
Why would you not want the methods to show up though?
feral aspen
Why would you not want the methods to show up though?
Is it supposed to show in real life scenario?
earnest phoenix
Yes
lyric mountain
you aren't supposed to print the object itself in a real life scenario
nor have sensitive logic inside objects
feral aspen
Alright, fair.
feral aspen
Also, did I do this correct in terms of passwords?
const { names } = require('../functions/names.js');
class Student {
constructor (name, age, ID) {
this.name = name ?? names[Math.floor(Math.random() * names.length)];
this.age = age ?? Math.floor(Math.random() * 13) + 5;
this.password = new Password(this.name.slice(0, 3) + '@' + this.ID);
};
};
class Password {
constructor(password) {
this.password = password;
};
show() {
return this.password;
}
}
module.exports = { Student };
I messed up in the understanding of your earlier example.
lyric mountain
you don't really need show(), just access it directly
feral aspen
this.password = new Password(this.name.slice(0, 3) + '@' + this.ID);
^
TypeError: Cannot set property password of #<Student> which has only a getter
crystal wigeon

Thanks
lyric mountain
you don't really need `show()`, just access it directly
although I would make a get password to return the hashed pass instead
lyric mountain
```js
this.password = new Password(this.name.slice(0, 3) + '@' + this.ID...
try adding a property declaration before constructor
feral aspen
Oh, well, it worked since I removed the get password which I defined earlier.
lyric mountain
well u do need to make a setter if ur gonna change the value
feral aspen
Student {
name: 'Lois',
age: 14,
password: Password { password: 'Loi@0037' },
}
It returned this.
lyric mountain
yes, it's an object
feral aspen
Don't you think it's supposed to return something like [class Password].
lyric mountain
no, password is an object instance too
feral aspen
Oh, so I should make something like this.password = Password?
lyric mountain
still burrow
ok
sharp geyser
Very descriptive thanks
feral aspen
Oh, so I should make something like `this.password = Password`?
Nevermind, since if I do something like a.password, it won't show the class properties.
sharp geyser
Never seen someone create a password with a class
feral aspen
I know, just trying to figure out how I can work with classes.
earnest phoenix
Nevermind, since if I do something like `a.password`, it won't show the class pr...
If you don't want the password to show up in the output when logging the object, you can just make it innumerable
Other than that you can also make it a getter
sharp geyser
Or delete it from the object when displaying it
lyric mountain
if someone has console access to the code I think there are bigger issues tbh
feral aspen
Alright, I believe I figured it out.
feral aspen
if someone has console access to the code I think there are bigger issues tbh
No, don't worry. My system is already vulnerable and I'm just doing this to learn classes, not as a project or anything.
lyric mountain
tbh, I'd suggest you to try fiddling with java a bit
feral aspen
Ik.
lyric mountain
java is really good to teach how to OOP since it screams at you if u dont
ig that's why schools use it after C
feral aspen
java is really good to teach how to OOP since it screams at you if u dont
I've learnt basics of Java, already. š
earnest phoenix
tbh, I'd suggest you to try fiddling with java a bit
feral aspen
I reached classes and I'm learning it in Javascript first to learn it in Java, then, or later.
lyric mountain
js wasn't made with OOP in mind, I said java cuz regardless of where you look, all tutorials and studying materials will have it done through classes and objects
with js you'll probably find people doing it functionally
sharp geyser
Functional js is fucking pain imo
feral aspen
with js you'll probably find people doing it functionally
Yeah, honestly. I'm trying to achieve via functions, mostly. But it's a pain.
lyric mountain
Functional js is fucking pain imo
Functionaljs is fucking pain imo
FTFY
feral aspen
How does discord.js handle such so? 
lyric mountain
you can use oop in js, it's just not as robust
earnest phoenix
You can't call JS pain when you use Java 
lyric mountain
Yeah, honestly. I'm trying to achieve via functions, mostly. But it's a pain.
when I say "functionally" I mean not using oop at all, you can (and should) still use functions in oop
earnest phoenix
How does discord.js handle such so? <:Eyes:680776464727277602>
It's pretty simple really if you look at the source, it's all mostly classes with many connecting to each other, and extending their properties/methods for use
feral aspen
It's pretty simple really if you look at the source, it's all mostly classes wit...
Yes, but I'm just having trouble with the connecting to each other part.
earnest phoenix
Yes, but I'm just having trouble with the `connecting to each other` part.
What kind of trouble though?
feral aspen
I mean, I've repeated this multiple times and it's getting quite repetitive, but it's having properties returning classes to be used.
<Message>.channel returns said channel class which I can then use its methods, properties, etc.
earnest phoenix
It's properties aren't returning classes to be used, those are class instances
lyric mountain
you cannot access methods of a class (unless they're static, and idk if js has that)
sharp geyser

feral aspen

It does.
lyric mountain
you need to first make an instance and THEN access its methods
earnest phoenix
When you do this.password = Password for example, you're assigning it the class itself, not an instance of it
feral aspen
When you do `this.password = Password` for example, you're assigning it the clas...
Oh, then?
earnest phoenix
When you do this.password = new Password(...), you're instantiating a new instance of the class
feral aspen
How will I be able to connect such whereas if I type a.password, it would take me to the Password class or let's say the instance.
lyric mountain
it already does
feral aspen
Alright, so that leads me to the place I am now.
lyric mountain
try doing a.password.password in ur current code
feral aspen
Yes, it returns a string password.
lyric mountain
the last password isn't inside Student, it's inside the Password instance
feral aspen
Yes.
lyric mountain
then u did a.password u accessed the instance u created
feral aspen
However, how will I be able to use values such as this.loggedIn in the Password class, do I use the extends syntax?
earnest phoenix
If you want to access the password (the string) with just a.password for example instead of a.password.password, what you're looking for is extending the classes
lyric mountain
However, how will I be able to use values such as `this.loggedIn` in the `Passwo...
just use it normally
a.password.loggedIn
think of . as / in a folder
and properties as files/folders
feral aspen
`a.password.loggedIn`
Undefined, I haven't extended.
feral aspen
a.password.loggedIn returns undefined?
feral aspen
Yes.
lyric mountain
u cant access a property that doesn't exist at all
it's like doing card.fly
ok, what's fly?
feral aspen
I mean, I'm wanting to use the loggedIn from the Student class, however?
lyric mountain
then don't access password at all
earnest phoenix
That's what I told you
lyric mountain
no
lyric mountain
then don't access password at all
a.loggedIn
feral aspen
What if I want to use the value in the Password class?
lyric mountain
you pass in the constructor
feral aspen
There's two, now, though?
lyric mountain
no, a single
feral aspen
this.loggedIn in Password and Student.
lyric mountain
look, that's not how you think in oop
why would Password use loggedIn?
you need to think as real life objects
earnest phoenix
I think you two are confusing each other with the concept of what exactly that needs to be achieved
lyric mountain
why would Apple access properties of Pie?
feral aspen
I want to be able to do something like:
a.password.change("NEW_PASSWORD")
/*
It has to check whether loggedIn is true for the user before changing the password.
*/
do instead a.changePassword("NEW_PASSWORD")
feral aspen
Wat, but that's the whole purpose of the Password class, though, to put the change() method inside it.
lyric mountain
Never seen someone create a password with a class
that's why misty said this
feral aspen
My point is, how do I access loggedIn from Student while I am at Password.
lyric mountain
you dont
feral aspen
Not even using extends Student and super()?
lyric mountain
or if you REALLY must, pass the Student instance to Password
new Password(this, "pass")
earnest phoenix
You need to either extend the class to access those properties, or pass them in the constructor
feral aspen
You need to either extend the class to access those properties, or pass them in ...
class Password extends Student {
constructor(password) {
this.password = password;
};
};
Where do I pass in super() or what's the continuation of it?
lyric mountain
oh my
earnest phoenix
But if you extend it, you'll also be instantiating a new instance of the Student class instead of using a different one you already instantiated
lyric mountain
sir, even if you extend, YOU WONT have the properties of the other instance
feral aspen
Oh.
lyric mountain
before extending you need to ask yourself:
"Is A an instance of B?"
like, a dog is an animal, thus Dog extends Animal
but a fork isn't a plate, so Fork extends Plate is totally senseless
feral aspen
Alright.
earnest phoenix
You can basically have another parameter called loggedIn for example, and pass that in, or pass it to the method called change() for example
lyric mountain
if you really, REALLY need to access the parent's properties from a child do
class Parent {
constructor(aProp) {
this.aProp = aProp;
this.child = new Child(this)
}
}
class Child {
constructor(parent) {
this.parent = parent;
}
}
now u can do parent.child.parent.child.parent... ad infinitum
this is called ciclycal reference
for obvious reason, you can't use JSON.stringify on it anymore
or any other sort of serialization
feral aspen
now u can do `parent.child.parent.child.parent...` ad infinitum
Example in code?
You defined parent first, right?
lyric mountain
let p = new Parent("abc");
console.log(p.child.parent); // will error, but it would print whatever "p" is
Amazing variable name
spark flint
Ty
lyric mountain
child has a reference o parent, so it can access its properties normally
feral aspen
child has a reference o parent, so it can access its properties normally
Well, that solves my issue. š
lyric mountain
yes, remember that
if you have a cyclical reference you won't be able to serialize it at all
since it'll make a reference cascade
feral aspen
Yup, I believe that's what I was trying to achieve.
lyric mountain
parent: {
aProp: "abc",
child: {
parent: {
aProp: "abc",
child: {
parent: {
aProp: "abc",
child: {
...
}
}
}
}
}
}
and it'll go on, forever
so u need to hide parent from child first if u want to serialize it
feral aspen
Is it possible to modify values of a property in a constructor of one class from another class? OR STILL NO.
vivid fulcrum
why not
feral aspen
An example of so, please?
vivid fulcrum
class Parent {
constructor() {
this.name = "Parent";

For context, when a user logs in using discord (I handle the auth flow myself) , I manually just modify the session object attached to the request and by doing that it automatically sets a cookie on the client on a successful login whose value corresponds to a session ID on the server
Iām not sure if by doing it, are the cookies being signed by the secret I gave while initialising the express-session middleware

Is there a way I don't pass the arguments?

I'm getting so many DiscordAPIError: Missing Permissions errors in my console
basically one every couple seconds/ minutes I have no idea where they come from
I want to get rid of them so bad
does anyone have an idea of what I can do?
feral aspen
Handle them, otherwise, silently mute them.
ancient nova
huh?
feral aspen
.catch(() => {});
ancient nova
how can I handle them if I have no idea where they even come from
feral aspen
But that is never the best way.

make them optional
feral aspen
make them optional
How, so? (I'm new to TS)
ancient nova
I executed every command and it never showed the error
it shows it randomly
and never shows the stack trace
so I don't know where it comes from
feral aspen
I executed every command and it never showed the error
Mostly from events, or mostly because some people are executing commands that the embed isn't able to send to the specific channel and mostly erroring.

should I just ignore it then? I don't think it should be appearing either way though
feral aspen
I mean, you can put on every file that if it doesn't have permissions to send messages, attach embeds, or etc. then to return.
ancient nova
shall I do that in the messageCreate event?

Oh you're using ts
feral aspen
Oh you're using ts
Yes.
wheat mesa
class Student {
constructor(param1 = null, param2 = null) {
this.param1 = param1;
this.param2 = param2;
}
print() {
console.log(this.param1);
console.log(this.param2);
}
}
let student = new Student();
student.print();
let student2 = new Student(15, "Jack");
student2.print();
``` you can do something like this
wheat mesa
This is something you should probably do for ts if you're trying that ```ts
class Student {
private param1?: number;
private param2?: string;
constructor(param1?: number, param2?: string) {
this.param1 = param1;
this.param2 = param2;
}
print() {
console.log(this.param1);
console.log(this.param2);
}
}
let student = new Student();
student.print();
let student2 = new Student(15, "Jack");
student2.print();
sorry for formatting, it fucked up for some reason

const { Permissions } = require('discord.js');
if (!message.channel.permissionsFor(message.guild.me).has([Permissions.FLAGS.VIEW_CHANNEL, Permissions.FLAGS.SEND_MESSAGES, Permissions.FLAGS.EMBED_LINKS])) return;
It would expect arguments in the class though?
feral aspen
Can't I code something like this?
https://cdn.hamoodihajjiri.com/OiXOClpwUU
wheat mesa
And if you want to give it default values, you can do something like ```ts
class Student {
private param1: number;
private param2: string;
constructor(param1 = 12, param2 = "Test") {
this.param1 = param1;
this.param2 = param2;
}
print() {
console.log(this.param1);
console.log(this.param2);
}
}
let student = new Student();
student.print();
let student2 = new Student(15, "Jack");
student2.print();
You need to pass arguments to the constructor if they're not given a default value or are not optional
ancient nova
is it wise to check it like that?
shouldn't I check if the user actually executes a command?
ancient nova
And if you want to give it default values, you can do something like ```ts
class...
I wanted to use ts at one point but
eh

What? In the constructor, I'm supposed to pass the type?
vivid fulcrum
shouldn't I check if the user actually executes a command?
that is what's happening already
wheat mesa
What? In the constructor, I'm supposed to pass the type?
What?
feral aspen
wheat mesa
Btw, use number, boolean, and string, not the capitalized versions
wheat mesa
What? In the constructor, I'm supposed to pass the type?
I don't understand what you mean by this though
ancient nova
I think that might've actually sovled the issue somehow
feral aspen
I don't understand what you mean by this though
You mentioned that they're not given a default value, this is in JS, not TS.
ancient nova
I haven't seen anything pop up yet
wheat mesa
I'm really confused what you're asking. You are using ts, I'm giving you the ts version of things
feral aspen
You need to pass arguments to the constructor if they're not given a default val...
Yes, but how do you want me to do this, then?
wheat mesa
The very first thing I gave you was js because I didn't think you were using ts at first, but you mentioned that you're learning it so I've been giving ts examples since
wheat mesa
Yes, but how do you want me to do this, then?
Make the arguments optional, or give them a default value
feral aspen
To make the arguments optional... I...?
wheat mesa
There's a few ways to do this, hold on
ancient nova
To make the arguments optional... I...?
like predefine them inside the function
wheat mesa
First way: ```ts
// This will assign "Some string" to name, 12 to age, and 6 to ID if they are not passed in the constructor
constructor(name = "Some string", age = 12, ID = 6) {
// ...
}
ye
ancient nova
However, to make the arguments optional?
that makes them not needed to be passed to the func and still use it
cinder patio
What do you mean optional?? Arguments in javascript are always optional technically
wheat mesa
Next way: ```ts
// This will be default make name, age, and ID undefined if they are not passed into the constructor
constructor(name?: string, age?: number, ID?: number) {
// ...
}
š
cinder patio
javascript is never going to stop you from not passing an argument
wheat mesa
However, to make the arguments optional?
They are already optional if they are given a default value like the first way
feral aspen
javascript is never going to stop you from not passing an argument
Typescript. ;-;
ancient nova
javascript is never going to stop you from not passing an argument
yeah but just in case you're making it a part of the logic that is required for the script to function it would error
cinder patio
Next way: ```ts
// This will be default make name, age, and ID undefined if they...
Then this yes
cinder patio
yeah but just in case you're making it a part of the logic that is required for ...
Well that's not js stopping you
it's your own logic
wheat mesa
js doesn't stop you from doing basically anything
queen basin
js stops me from changing characters in a string š
wheat mesa
ts stops you from doing some things, but it's usually helpful in validating the types passed to your function
ancient nova
it's not
const func = function(this) {
console.log(this)
}
func() // undefined
func("hi") //hi
that's what I mean
and if you have some extensive logic it can error either way
lyric mountain
it's not
```js
const func = function(this) {
console.log(this)
}
func() // undef...
I...a...hum...ok, what?
wheat mesa
Then don't use js, or put that logic in with type checks
That's basically what ts is for
ancient nova
I'm just saying it's possible
viscid gale
Then don't use js, or put that logic in with type checks
wow the js hatred
wheat mesa
Never said I hated js
lyric mountain
I'm just saying it's possible
even tho this is a keyword?

Just saying you need to be aware of types before you're allowed to be typeless š
ancient nova
even tho `this` is a keyword?
it's not a real piece of code

lyric mountain
š I like a language that trusts the dev to know what they're doing
js doesn't trust u, it simply doesn't care
wheat mesa
I don't like truly dynamic types that much
It's often times very annoying to validate preconditions for functions with
type safety is 
viscid gale
c is the language for you
I must say, it's the only language I like advanced editor for(because of the & and * hell)
queen basin
c users when they realize everything is converted implicitly
wheat mesa
c users when they need to make tons of dogshit macros just to bypass writing tons of boilerplate

my mistake was writing my os in c++ š
but then you get classes and namespaces so
worth it?
wheat mesa
#define GROW_CAPACITY(capacity) \
((capacity) < 8 ? 8 : (capacity) * 2)
#define GROW_ARRAY(type, pointer, oldCount, newCount) \
(type*)reallocate(pointer, sizeof(type) * (oldCount), \
sizeof(type) * (newCount))
#define FREE_ARRAY(type, pointer, oldCount) \
reallocate(pointer, sizeof(type) * (oldCount), 0)

jokes aside I have a question regarding permissions(no my bot isn't in over 75 servers so don't read faq for me on that)..

do u mean u can only receive dm events when u send first?
viscid gale
do u mean u can only receive dm events when u send first?
yes
im using discord.js v13.8.1
lyric mountain
that isn't related to any intent afaik
viscid gale
is it a discord.js issue or is the api itself is being more strict?
lyric mountain
the api is the same it was, the changes don't affect dm at all
might be a code issue

view is not a property but a method.
