Strings are also going to take up more storage in your database over time

Which if your bot grows may lead to a semi noticeable change in ram due to all the strings you’re caching
earnest phoenix
These types of optimizations would barely be noticable when running them a few times, since you're running them all the time in a Discord bot, it will be noticable, especially under heavy load
wheat mesa
As of right now you will notice no difference, but I’m sure you don’t want to continue writing it the same way and in the future have to rewrite all of it because you’re wasting performance
earnest phoenix
Regardless of them being noticable in your case or not, it's always better to optimize things
pine nova
are all discord channel ids 18 characters long?
wheat mesa
Think of your poor ram sticks seeing strings that should be bools
earnest phoenix
Unless it has a high risk of breaking something
wheat mesa
They would cry

are all discord channel ids 18 characters long?
no
pine nova
i see
boreal iron
Older ones are shorter
earnest phoenix
are all discord channel ids 18 characters long?
Discord IDs are snowflakes and keep growing infinitely, so it's better to not assume their maximum length
pine nova
i see thank u
quartz kindle
but you can predict when the next length change will happen

I believe there’s a utility class that has a helper function in djs that has a regex for checking if something is a snowflake

When saving them to a database just choose big ints

When saving them to a database just choose big ints

bigints take less memory!

Why not choosing longtext instead
I mean you can go for saving anything as binary data

so does parseBoolean exist in JS or not?

why would u need it?

what's the best way of casting "true" into a bool?
quartz kindle
yes
near stratus
what's the best way of casting "true" into a bool?
eval("true")
boreal iron
lyric mountain
what's the best way of casting "true" into a bool?
"true" == true
aboose js' weak comparison

`"true" == true`

near stratus
stop with the eval
it's the best
Prove me wrong and I'll kiss your mom
earnest phoenix
what's the best way of casting "true" into a bool?
The global Boolean constructor exists which can be called as a function, but you can also just use the logical NOT operator (!) twice
ancient nova

Boolean(variable)? doesn't that just check if the given variable is a boolean? does it work like a convertion thingy as well?

u could use jsfuck logic to unwrap it, but it's gonna result in lengthy code

how is that any better than my string comparinson?
i mean for converting your strings into booleans
and then saving the booleans instead
ancient nova
I suppose ur trying to migrate ur database from string booleans to actual boolea...
yes
lyric mountain
then "people" is only you

so in the future you just use booleans directly and not strings

lyric mountain
for a one-time refactor? eval is fine
boreal iron
But not boolean as type
lyric mountain
also I do use eval frequently in my bot, there are valid reasons
ancient nova
you do you I don't think I wanna risk having an eval in a place where people can mostly input their own stuff
lyric mountain
I didn't say "open" eval tho
near stratus
you do you I don't think I wanna risk having an eval in a place where people can...
limit it to only you
lyric mountain
eval is just a tool, a way to execute arbitrary code during runtime
ancient nova
what?? but the point of my bots setting system is that they can customize what the bot can and can't do
earnest phoenix
Using eval in this case is extremely dumb and risky
lyric mountain
I mean, u definitely don't need to use eval for a simple setting toggle
near stratus
Using eval in this case is extremely dumb and risky
He's migrating db
What's wrong with that
lyric mountain
we're saying that it's fine for using eval if you do need to
near stratus
tho I know better options
lyric mountain
it's not a "forbidden" feature
earnest phoenix
I don't think this is what they're trying to point out, they mean the users can input anything which they might pass to eval just to check if it's a boolean
ancient nova
Using eval in this case is extremely dumb and risky
voltrex is right
ancient nova
I don't think this is what they're trying to point out, they mean the users can ...
exactly
earnest phoenix
If they're just checking for the database values, they can indeed use eval to overwrite the values they need for the migration or whatever you want to call it, outside of it, just compare
lyric mountain
just do ```js
if (feature) {
send("Feature was disabled")
} else {
send("Feature was enabled")
}
feature = !feature
I'll just do something like this
const convertBoolean = function(_string) {
if (_string === "true") return true;
return false;
}
``` before you start saying anything after clearing my DB I'll put it in the command that changes settings, not in any eventI think that's fine. Definitely better than putting an eval there instead lol
boreal iron
It’s automatically false if it’s not a string being true?
That’s what you really want?
ancient nova
yes, that will make it if people put something like fuhh43t3t9th3h9h3th38 into my DB it's gonna be false

`Uncaught TypeError: Assignment to constant variable.`

earnest phoenix
But let's consider an edge case, what if the user wants to put the value true as a string instead of a boolean
lyric mountain
I'll just do something like this
```js
const convertBoolean = function(_string) ...
cant u just _string.equalsIgnoreCase("true") then?
ancient nova
cant u just `_string.equalsIgnoreCase("true")` then?
never heard of that function
what does it do?
boreal iron
For what sort of features or options people can set own values which being saved in your database?
earnest phoenix
Since you seem to allow them to put anything in there, and you also check for the boolean values directly by comparison, it becomes an edge case
lyric mountain
idk if js has that, it's literally what it reads
boreal iron
To clarify that
lyric mountain
it's an equal that ignores case
near stratus
But let's consider an edge case, what if the user wants to put the value `true` ...
It's better to ask the user's consent each time
lyric mountain
or else return _string === "true"
earnest phoenix
idk if js has that, it's literally what it reads
That's just <string>.toLowerCase() === ...
And the other operand being lowercase as well
lyric mountain
ye, I though js being js had something like java's equalsIgnoreCase
ancient nova
gonna be clearing the entire DB, lets not bother changing individual things
my bot isn't really that big for people to care
(I hope)
lyric mountain
the thing is```js
if (something) return true
return false
then what would you do?
lyric mountain
just return something
boreal iron
gonna be clearing the entire DB, lets not bother changing individual things
You mind respond to that just for me to know?
earnest phoenix
The main thing you're doing wrong here is letting user input anything they want, you're supposed validate them in some ways
ancient nova
For what sort of features or options people can set own values which being saved...
roles, channels, messages and settings
boreal iron
Pretty much depends on the feature
ancient nova
I haven't sorted it much yet that's why it looks kinda ugly
ancient nova
if "true" convert to true if "false" convert to false if anything else leave it as string
earnest phoenix
This is also where slash-commands can help a lot, since by type of the values, the server-side validation of Discord can help narrow things down to make it as efficient and easy to work with as possible, but I suppose you aren't using slash-commands for whatever reason
ancient nova
fair right?
near stratus
if "true" convert to true if "false" convert to false if anything else leave it ...
string.toString()
boreal iron
roles, channels, messages and settings
So it can only sorta contain any user input for like a welcome message for example but anything else being enabled or not needs to validated in your code as Voltrex said, then inserted

That shows the username if they have no nick, that's inaccurate
sharp geyser
it is just tracking what their name in the guild is
ancient nova
so if it's reset then the username shows up
if they have no nick it shows their username that's accurate, no?

But it's called nickname though
If they have no nickname then it should say so

fetch all inviites
save them

see who's value increased
keep doing it
for every guild

maybe something that just tells who invited instead of saving invites?
near stratus
discord only provides guild info when someone joins
ancient nova
or just telling the user who joined from what invite?
near stratus
nope
ancient nova
also which one is better?
ancient nova
discord only provides guild info when someone joins
is inviteCreate event not real then?
near stratus
is inviteCreate event not real then?
that's probably when someone creates an invite
not when someone joins with a invite
boreal iron
This event only triggers if the client has MANAGE_GUILD permissions for the guild, or MANAGE_CHANNELS permissions for the channel.
keep that in mind
Emitted when an invite is created.
near stratus
not when someone joins with a invite
onGuildMemberAdd is what you're looking for
ancient nova
I see so there isn't an event to get information about who used what invite?

not that I know

`onGuildMemberAdd` is what you're looking for
can you check which invite the user used?

You can't, once again

It's just discord being gay over everything
boreal iron
You can only try to see which invite increaes it's count then assuming the last joined member used this invite
ancient nova
I see, then I'd rather not make that
boreal iron
there's no sense to determine this information
it might be important to who created an invite and maybe how many members joinend using it
much more information isn't important
ancient nova
I'll wait til discord maybe gives us the endpoint to check which invite was used cause I know for a fact that they log that since it shows up in the guild settings
boreal iron
they only tell you the amount of members joined using that invite
that doesn't mean they log the member who used which invite to join
lyric mountain
I see so there isn't an event to get information about who used what invite?
you'd be surprised with the amount of stuff you need to make yourself because discord doesn't provide required info
boreal iron
they just increase to number by one, once a member successfully joined
near stratus
they just increase to number by one, once a member successfully joined
that becomes a problem with join rewards cuz you can join using as many invites you want and leave

there seems to be a weird idea for anything

they only tell you the amount of members joined using that invite
it also tells you who created the invite and the invite code which is exactly what I want
boreal iron
yes something the event also tells you
boreal iron
do you actually read your own messages before sending?
it also tells you who created the invite and the invite code which is exactly what I want

it tells u exactly what invite was created
but u can't know when it's used unless u track it urself

why this question

cause white mode bad
I'll call the event inviteUpdate, since I'll be tracking when the invite changes

raw nest
I'm buildig a roles system.
How should I structure the DB?
like that?:
roles -> roles with their e.g. perms etc. (e.g. -> | role_id | name | perms |)
member_roles -> for each member's role a record (e.g. -> | user_id | role |)
let's take Discord as an example. Roles like that
lyric mountain
ok, but is it going to be applied where?
raw nest
just as user management in the backend.
lyric mountain
well, simply have each role have an ID and a permission level
raw nest
yes and when a user gets a role (multiple possible) how do you track that? In the example above you create a record that the user got this role and has it now.

have a third table to store user id-role relation
you didn't mention what kind of database it is
boreal iron
Yeah creating relations between your tables makes sense then is literally the basement of any permission and group system
lyric mountain
like 3 tables?:
- roles
- users
- roles_of_users (user_id - role relation)
yes
the relation will be N <-> N between users and roles, so u need a third table
boreal iron
Now this can be expanded with groups, users_groups, groups_roles etc
raw nest
ahh yes right! i then create a relation between them and if e.g. the role gets deleted the record where a user has this role also gets deleted.

a simple foreign key with ON DELETE CASCADE will do

Just by joining other tables in your queries

a simple foreign key with `ON DELETE CASCADE` will do
Or this

a simple foreign key with `ON DELETE CASCADE` will do
yep I use Prisma and in the model you can define this pretty smooth
lyric mountain
just make sure to put the cascade on the correct side
raw nest
yes xD I will, ty
boreal iron
You can also add grant and negate values to your permissions defining which permission they can edit/delete for example
Like a multi layer permission system with grant and skip flags like TeamSpeak has
You can literally go crazy with that

Is a bitwise permission system enough scalable? Like if I would use int I would only be able to store 32 (or 31 I'm not sure) perms. Otherwise there's a bigint but that's only 64/63 too. 
cinder patio
well if you need more you could always use 2 numbers
lyric mountain
if u need more than 32 permissions u can always escalate to the next higher size
raw nest
well if you need more you could always use 2 numbers
2 numbers? like how dym?
cinder patio
2 32 bit integers
sudden geyser
If you have to use multiple numbers you've already lost.
lyric mountain
if bigint is not enough u can do as feud said, split the bitfield into 2 columns
cinder patio
still better than 64+ boolean fields
lyric mountain
there's a datatype that allows more than 64 digits iirc
we were discussing that last month
(or couple months, idrc)
sudden geyser
I'd rather a set of enum variants.
raw nest
there's a datatype that allows more than 64 digits iirc
only numbers? It's mysql btw
lyric mountain
ah nvm, it was regarding another thing
anyway, decimal allows more digits than bigint
at the cost of having no decimal places
or u can store in a varchar
raw nest
or u can store in a varchar
that's an option but on every query I would fetch the int. (It's possible for sure but that wasn't my first option to take:))
lyric mountain
u can always partition a varchar into parseable numbers
raw nest
what?
lyric mountain
"12345678901234567890"
split
["1234567890","1234567890"]
parse
[1234567890,1234567890]
raw nest
ah yeah. ig I will use varchar. Probably most save on scale
lyric mountain
lemme say tho, it is HARD to think of more than 64 different permissions
raw nest
also true xD
lyric mountain
like, it starts to get too specific after a certain amount of perms
discord being discord can fit everything into a bigint
raw nest
even Discord has only 37 perms ig xD
lyric mountain
close, 40
raw nest
really?
raw nest
ah well like that oh yeah xD
quartz kindle
theres still plenty of room to store permission bitfields in js numbers without using bigint
for those who want to optimize storage
lyric mountain
that'd be in db, not js specifically

just a name for the module

ancient nova
i'd separate prefix and welcome message
why? they're both strings so I thought I'd group them
quartz kindle
they dont have much relation to each other besides that
but whatever you prefer, its not a big deal
ancient nova
I'm just confused about putting them into 2 separate fields, I don't really have a title idea
// CACHE_COUNT is the ammount of messages the user sent in a short timeframe
if (CACHE_COUNT >= 10) {
// Warn and mute the person for spamming after a warn.
} else if (CACHE_COUNT === 5) {
// Warn the person for spamming
}
``` is this going to work?if it's 5 warn, and then once it reaches more than 10 keep muting
I couldn't think of a better way of doing it
lol how do I check if something is a mention without regex
cause I know you guys would kill me if I used regex for that
setEmbed.addField(
"Roles",
`modRole: ${roleRegex.test(serverSettings.modRole) ? serverSettings.modRole : `\`\`\`${serverSettings.modRole}\`\`\``}\nadminRole: ${roleRegex.test(serverSettings.adminRole) ? serverSettings.adminRole : `\`\`\`${serverSettings.adminRole}\`\`\``}\nmutedRole: ${roleRegex.test(serverSettings.mutedRole) ? serverSettings.mutedRole : `\`\`\`${serverSettings.mutedRole}\`\`\``}`
);
setEmbed.addField(

`modLogChannel: ${channelRegex.test(serverSettings.modLogChannel) ? serverSettings.modLogChannel : `\`\`\`${serverSettings.modLogChannel}\`\`\``}\nwelcomeChannel: ${channelRegex.test(serverSettings.welcomeChannel) ? serverSettings.welcomeChannel : `\`\`\`${serverSettings.welcomeChannel}\`\`\``}`
);
``` lmfao

no, u are using for a single string
ancient nova
for individual things in that string I mean
lyric mountain
exactly
ancient nova
but I'm going to revert it anyway I think it looked better without that

ah i think i saw this and forgot
ancient nova
I mean
@quartz kindle
is that better or worse I can't really tell
was it better when everything was sorted by type or now that I sort everything by modules
quartz kindle
since you already have "role", "welcomer", etc in the titles, you dont really need to repeat them
ancient nova
how would you structure the embed?
quartz kindle
Roles
mod:
admin:
muted:
welcomer module
enabled:
channel:
message:
ancient nova
I have to
I'll show you why
one second
{
prefix: '-',
modLogChannel: '[#734161576717844602](/guild/264445053596991498/channel/734161576717844602/)',
modRole: 'Moderator',
adminRole: 'Administrator',
mutedRole: 'Muted',
welcomeChannel: 'welcome',
welcomeMessage: "Welcome {{user}} to {{guild}}. You're the {{memberJoinedCount}} user to join the server.",
welcomeEnabled: 'false',
allowNSFW: 'true',
antiFish: 'true',
antiSpam: 'false'
}
it goes like so: key, value
and it's case sensitive so I can't really do that
otherwise the user won't know how to change the key value
sudden geyser
How about asking the user for the specific setting they want to look at?
Right now it just looks like a control panel display.
ancient nova
Right now it just looks like a control panel display.
I'm not quite sure how to explain how it's done
ancient nova
Right now it just looks like a control panel display.
since I'm not using slash commands ( and I don't plan to ) I can't really have it ask which specific settings the user want
cause I need the interaction system for that
sudden geyser
You can't do <prefix>settings <module> and have it, say, display current configuration?
ancient nova
yeah if you want to edit a module you do
<prefix>settings edit <modulename> <newvalue>
and the modules are very case sensitive so one mistake and it won't get recognized, most I can do is compare it with lowercases so typing welcomemessage will work the same as typing welcomeMessage, but that's about all I can do to for now at least
ancient nova
what do you mean?
ancient nova
user has to type welcomeEnabled in order to change the welcomeEnabled value, how is that an issue?
ancient nova
like, just make both lowercase as u said
yeah I can do that
ancient nova
what if I want to type WelcomeEnabled?
as it is right now it won't work
ancient nova
what if I want to type WelcomeEnabled?
it's because of how I made it save the variables to the enmap
imagine this being the enmap
{
prefix: '-',
modLogChannel: 'mod-log',
modRole: 'Moderator',
adminRole: 'Administrator',
mutedRole: 'Muted',
welcomeChannel: 'welcome',
welcomeMessage: "Welcome {{user}} to {{guild}}. You're the {{memberJoinedCount}} user to join the server.",
welcomeEnabled: 'false',
allowNSFW: 'false',
antiFish: 'false',
antiSpam: 'false'
}
now to comprae I usually do
enmapVariable["welcomeEnabled"] // will return it's value so false.
enmapVariable["welcomeenabled"] // will return undefiend since that value doesn't exist
do you see why it would be hard to make it not case sensitive?
lyric mountain
save it lowercase
ancient nova
save it lowercase
i would have to edit the entire DB again to do that
earnest phoenix
do you see why it would be hard to make it not case sensitive?
You can take the object, get it's entries, convert them to lowercase, and back to an object to make them case insensitive

ancient nova

we are trying to convert message.settings array contents to lowercase?
ancient nova
someone just sent an invite
wheat mesa
I don’t see why the value needs to be lowercased unless that’s what you intended
ancient nova
and the snippet above is my take on that
ancient nova
I don’t see why the value needs to be lowercased unless that’s what you intended
unless u have a better way try
sudden geyser
- The value does not need to be lower case (nor will it always be)
- You should consider using an object and setting the key, rather than using an array of arrays as keys.
earnest phoenix
yeah then voltrex suggested that we are to make all of the keys lowercase
I said only the keys need to be lowercase, not the values
ancient nova
I said only the keys need to be lowercase, not the values
yeah I just realized my mistake but it's a simple fix
let serverSettings = message.settings;
serverSettings = Object.fromEntries(Object.entries(serverSettings).map(([key, value]) => [key.toLowerCase(), value]));
serverSettings;

theoretically, there's no limit
in practice the API request allows up to 100 messages maximum
but you can pass more than that to dpy because dpy automatically batches requests depending on the amount of messages you want to get
i.e. for 100 messages it'll send one request, for 130 two requests, for 200 two requests, for 230 three requests and so on
