In discord.js I'm trying to read args having no space issues, for example:
const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
module.exports = {
run: async (client, message, args, { GuildDB }) => {
let roleName = args[0];
let roleColor = args[1];
},
};
Problem is, "roleName" doesn't allow to me to use spaces and it counts the second word as roleColor when I use spaces in roleName
How do I easy control args? splits? or use spaces between args?
Any help is appreciated.
You can handle how the array and split and joined.
To make this easier for yourslef I first recommend you switch the places of your arguments. [command] [roleColor] [roleName] instead of [command] [roleName] [roleColor].
This way we can isolate the color and then use the remaining elements to assign and join to roleName
const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
module.exports = {
run: async (client, message, args, { GuildDB }) => {
// Deconstruct from the args array
let [roleColor, roleName] = [args[0], args.slice(1)];
// If there are more than 1 element, join them into a string via a space
roleName = roleName.join(' ');
},
};
roleName.join is not a function why is that so?
['foo', 'bar', 'baz'] (Foo is color and Bar Baz is the name). To get the name we remove the color arg, which is done with slice(1) (Removes 1st element), leaving ['bar', 'baz']. We use join(' ') to join the 2 separate array elements together into a string which results in 'bar baz'. Documentations for Array.prototype.slice() and Array.prototype.join()Best thing you could do here is create a TextChannel#createMessageCollector since you have multiple arguments to get as input easiest way to do it would be like so: ( Example user command !createrole )
let rolename = args.join(" ")
message.channel.send("Alright now what would be it's color?").then( msg =>
const filter = (m) => { m.author.id === message.author.id }
const collector = msg.channel.createMessageCollector(filter, { time: 15000 })
collector.on('collect', collected => {
message.channel.send(`Alright creating the role ${rolename} with color ${collected.first().content}`);
message.guild.roles.create({
name: rolename
color: collected.first().content;
})
});
Ln3 Col1 " const { expected " Ln4 Col 78 " ',' expected " I couldn't get to format it correctly..
args?process.argv? Some args passed bydiscord.js? Where are the arguments parsed from? Just a string message that's split by spaces?"this is a single argument").runfunction used? Where do you pass the function? Who calls this function and passes it its arguments?
