Advanced Command + Event Handler (Discord.js v14)

[@UnderCtrl]

New commands + event handler: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p57YgYKfotiWhtU IMPORTANT: In 28:49 and 30:02 change the "break" to "return". Reason: Using break will only half work as it won't reply if there's more than one permission. However it will still run the rest of the function which means it'll attempt to still run the command at the end of the function. Return will make sure the function stops completely. Sorry for the inconvenience. This change has already been reflected on the github repository

[@ryanhmd8305]

I'm a noob and the video seemed rather complicated to me on first viewing, but thanks to the github link you provided I was able to study your code and I finally understood! Everything is organized with great intelligence, I've learned a lot thank you! You really have a gift for explaining things so I support you, keep it that way.

[@kenqz2623]

Amazing tutorial , covers the best practices of folder structure , code refactoring into seperate files and the most importantly the code is up to date and it works. Really easy to follow and learn not just copy paste the code

[@GuadoDex]

I always found command handling very complicated with all that file structure and links between files. Your video helped me understand much easier than other tutorials I've seen, thank you very much for this very advanced file structure

[@KrowplexMusicHD]

I think you were a bit too fast at times, I often had to pause and go back few seconds to finalize what I was typing. But overall I'm glad I finally found a video that explains this structure to me and how to do it. I'm new to nodejs/discordjs and I found this helpful and interesting.

[@UnderCtrl]

Sorry about that. Unfortunately the code for this video was quite a lot which is why I had to move a little faster than usual.

[@Multi1Vids]

took me literally 4 days to understand this code, but i finally get it and to be honest, this code has many use cases in all types of javascript programming. Very good video thanks man

[@SheeeeshBoii]

Ignore the hate, this channel has the best possible tutorials! The people hating just do NOT care about JS and skip it and come here to spread hate.

[@constellation007]

what a comprehensive video and such a powerful command and event handler im surprised the video was only a little over 30 mins... u do such a great job at explaining everything step by step, i appreciate that. Pretty advanced tutorial, I have programming experience so I was able to follow pretty well but for some who dont have much experience, i think explaining the overall high level purpose of functions we're creating would help everyone understand and put everything together easier. Besides that great job! Keep it up!

[@XStarReviews]

I personally enjoyed this video and learned a lot from it because I took the time to research the parts I didn't understand while watching this video. Great work and appreciate all the time you put into this one! Additionally, for anyone that ran into this following error: There was an error: *"TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'fetch')"* Solution for me was to make sure my "testServer" value in your config.json is a string. For example, my config.json file looks like this right now (I changed the numbers so they don't match with what's in my file): { "testServer": "1234580157137123456", "devs": "123451850396123456" }

[@furrypotato]

A great, and very intense vid. So much packed in that it will take a few views to understand it properly. My only request would be a vid on making a version of this that can work on multiple servers rather than just one.

[@UnderCtrl]

To register commands globally just remove the guild id from config.json

[@furrypotato]

@@UnderCtrl Ah ok that's remarkable simple then. This will form the basis of my upcoming bots so thanks again.

Awesome video!! thank you, and thank you again for providing the source code it make finding errors a lot easier!

[@GulaManYOW]

I'm lost at Javascript actually, I don't know what to create and I thought why not create a Discord Bot (Game). Stumb led upon this great tutorial, and understand the logic of EventHandler and some Advanced path creating techniques, thanks man!

[@DamienWillis-pu9bm]

Great content dude. I lost motivation to use JavaScript, but this rekindled that fire in me!

[@HuebertEllowit-LOL]

So when i run this code everything seems to work fine, and when I add a new .js file in the misc or moderation folder and run my program, I can get it to say the new command has been registered. But when i go to discord, no new command option ever pops up. I just have ping and ban and thats it. I have been working on this for such a long time and am totally lost on why it says its registered but never becomes an option to be ran. Any help would be hugely appreciated!!!

[@mudpill]

I'm not sure if it is a Windows file permission issue or something but for whatever reason my console is writing out the arrays to be empty in VS Code. It's still recognizing that there is two elements in fileNames[] but both of those elements are empty and just write [][] to the console. EDIT: Must have been something on my end because I pulled your git and it worked fine. Thanks.

[@genshinryuga]

Hey how did you fix that I am having the same issue

[@muriilouwu]

​@@genshinryuga the problem is probably caused because you missed the if, else brackets in the getAllFiles function

[@voreal8027]

@@muriilouwu Yep, that was the issue for me! Thanks

[@omarezeldin4620]

Thanks a lot for this series, seems that you are the only one that explains discord.js v14 so perfect. Also the Github repo is very useful. I tried to learn file handling from the documentation but it was complicated. This video got the point 🎯. Also please make a video to *host our bot online 24/7* for free. I think it also would be great to find any way other than Replit. I failed to make it work anyways. Good Luck.

During the time of recording I believe I wasn't aware of there being user instead of mentionable. User would be the correct choice

[@JHSAccount-qp4dt]

hey @UnderCtrl ,I have been following your tutorial (God bless you! thank you!) and my eventListener is not working like yours on 08:50; can you help me what possibly went wrong??

[@jeremyglebe4050]

This is great and I was able to follow everything just fine but I'm also 100% certain I'm just going to download the source for this project structure from the Github repo and use that as my starting template lol. I'll be adding TypeScript though.

[@sharko_000]

what theme did you use?

[@ZSMacLean]

Okay, so I'm at the 13:50 mark, and for some reason the app is crashing. According to debug it's in the eventHandler.js line 15 "const eventFunction = require(eventFile);" I've rechecked every file multiple times for errors and I can't seem to figure out why it's crashing. Everything up to this point was working just fine.

[@saidrexxx]

Same error dude, Could you solve it? Edit: I have solved the problem, check that the codes of the "events" folder exporting the function, check the syntax of "module.exports"

[@ZSMacLean]

@@saidrexxx I ended up copying the files from github, and it at first still didn't work, then I discovered a .DS file and deleted that... seems to have fixed the problem.

[@suyashmehare8034]

Hye, how long have you been creating these discord bots?

[@xander9483]

nice tutorial! There's a small issue with the event handler though, as it assumes you're only passing in a single argument along with client. This will give issues when your events have multiple parameters. To fix this make sure you pass in all arguments (...args) instead of just one.

[@UltraOAS]

When creating commands in files, I get errors when trying to add "ApplicationCommandOptionType". What do I do?

[@JJayradd]

Great video but I foolishly decided to make my project a module project. This left issues with `__dirname` but I guess that is 100% my fault. I am curious why you don't use modules instead?

[@UnderCtrl]

No specific reason tbh. I just didn't bother changing.

[@JJayradd]

@@UnderCtrl oh awesome. I ended up having to change things around but it's been a fun hurdle.

I had this issue because I had a blank file somewhere in the commands directory that wasn't providing the values of name, description, options

[@satyyaam]

Solved 👍

[@henriquevmoraes]

What are all your relevant VS extentions? like when you type a function and it automatically requires the file, and the one that autocomplete things, like ";", etc...

[@UnderCtrl]

The code formatter is responsible for adding the ; and it's called "Prettier". The auto complete/import is a built in feature in vscode.

[@Umarbit]

Hard tutorial. Everything was going right in the beginning but as I followed along my brain got confused with so many files and folders as it was the first time I used too many files and folders. Do all professional developers use separate files for separate functions? I also faced a problem. VScode autocomplete suggestion feature was working less when working in separate files. How to fix it?

[@enesctak6994]

I'm not a professional, but i can say that if the commands seperated to the different files, looks better than one file. Basically you don't have to search tons of code when you want to edit something.

[@justshush4424]

Hi how are you doing? I have a question how can I make it multi server????, this was is just for the test server. TY for the incredible video

[@EmmaDuchess]

I keep getting stuck around 5-6 minutes with an error telling me ReferenceError: getAllFiles is not defined when I'm attempting to run the node src/index.js command in the Terminal Edit: I've followed every single step as they come, so I'm confused why it wouldn't work. Edit2: I've decided to just go back to previous videos and watch every single one in order since you might've asked us to do something that I haven't done yet etc. Tho you could try to explain the solution if you know it, for others that might be on the same halt as me.

If you remove the testServer, it should globally register the commands.

broo i cant create a folder in events? it is showing events/ready

[@mariesaoconnell7281]

VS Code is weird, so if the only thing inside of 'events' is 'ready' then it auto shows the content of 'ready'. You should be able to right click 'events' and create another folder. If not it may be easier to use your console. 'cd' into 'events' and use the command 'mkdir '

Is it possible to use subcommands using this command handler?

[@nicholaswalker1831]

On Client.MessageUpdate you have two arguments, oldMessage and newMessage. This method only supports one argument from the event, so my event function would get only client and oldMessage. Solved it like this: client.on(eventName, async (...args) => { for (const eventFile of eventFiles) { const eventFunction = require(eventFile); await eventFunction(client, ...args); } });

Please explain basics like Const channel = interaction.guild.roles.cach.get("") Like these basics Please explain them

[@petergg9096]

What do you want to know?

[@Sh4ky]

Just use GPT bro. Also, I recommend commenting out every piece of code you do so you can quickly understand it. This is from GPT: const channel = interaction.guild.roles.cache.get(""); Let's break it down: interaction refers to the interaction object, which represents an interaction with a Discord message or component. guild is a property of the interaction object that refers to the guild (server) where the interaction occurred. roles is a property of the guild object that represents the collection of roles in the guild. cache is a property of the roles object that contains a cached collection of roles for efficient access. get() is a method provided by the cache property to retrieve a role from the cache based on its ID. In this specific code snippet, interaction.guild.roles.cache.get("") attempts to retrieve a role from the cache based on an empty string as the role ID. However, since an empty string is not a valid role ID, it will likely return undefined or an error. To utilize this code correctly, you need to provide a valid role ID inside the get() method to retrieve the corresponding role from the cache.

[@gyrthez246]

I understood the video was going to be quicker, but I think it was way too rushed to be able to understand anything. I don't feel that I actually learned anything during this tutorial other than copy pasting the code you wrote, which could have been done from github in a few minutes tops anyways. There was no real explanation of what a lot of these components do or why we're setting it up this way.
