@Danial here yeah?

Danial•17mo ago

Yep

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

https://sourceb.in/UxJtRTCwdr alright heres the code. ignore the slash command builder, i was making a command and then just switched up and started trying to fix intellisense could you go to the console.log statement, and try to console.log(inv.url);? when i write inv. it doesnt follow up with any suggestions, like url for example [email protected], node v18.16.1 no error code sent issue: described above

What type does it show when you hover over interaction.channel?

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

which word specifically? interaction or channel

Danial•17mo ago

channel

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

(property)BaseInteraction<CacheType>.channel: TextBasedChannel | null TextBasedChannel no BaseInteraction is the type ? does it say smt different for you 🤔

Danial•17mo ago

Yep, shows the same for me, what's weird is when I do channel. it shows createInvite, and I let it autocomplete and it shows this but then when I hover over createInvite(), it shows any

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

yep same here i have all the autocomplete options for channel, but when i hover over createInvite() it shows any aswell

Danial•17mo ago

I've worked with JSDoc a bit but not much so I am not sure what's going on, it's been a while since I used JavaScript, I usually work with TypeScript, I'd recommend you look into TypeScript eventually as then it'd be a much nicer experience discord.js is very well typed, and will eventually be rewritten in TypeScript

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

oh ok np then thanks for the help though

Danial•17mo ago

Of course

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

for now i want to stay in JS ngl, so idk if ill be switching to typescript is there a way to get other people in here? simply because all the tutorials im seeing are in JS

Danial•17mo ago

This channel's public but as no one has interacted with it, it only shows us in the members list

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

👌 appreciate the help thanks

Danial•17mo ago

You shouldn't rely on tutorials, they also get oudated very soon, there's amazing documentation that can help you come up with things on your own

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

oh yeah im using the djs docs for my main source of learning

Danial•17mo ago

Awesome

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

async execute(interaction) {
        /** @type {Invite} */
        const inv = await interaction.channel.createInvite()

        console.log(inv.);
    },

async execute(interaction) {
        /** @type {Invite} */
        const inv = await interaction.channel.createInvite()

        console.log(inv.);
    },

adding /** @type {Invite} */ directly above the inv variable made the intellisense work for it am i gonna have to do that for every single variable if i want intellisense to work?

yeah someone else also recommended ts just didn’t want to switch so early since i’m still learning, using the official guide and djs docs seems like TS would be easier to use though

just need to get some sort of intellisense working since i’m a beginner and it’s hard to experiment without knowing all the different methods and properties of a type 🗿 it works in index.js just not in the execute function there

wait so if its not a channel where an invite can be created on, the intellisense wont work? cuz it wont recognise it ?

Unknown User•17mo ago

safeeeeeOP•17mo ago

oh i see so to conclude i cant get intellisense inside subdirectories unless i use jsDOC comments for each individual variable, or unless i use typescript ?

yeahh, i am pretty new to this its only been like a week so i havent memorised what everything returns will look into that though so that coding is easier anyway thanks for the help appreciate catthumbshup

wait one more question does that mean what i was told here https://discord.com/channels/222078108977594368/824411059443204127/1132130195332136981 is wrong?

hmmmm

async execute(interaction) {

        const allowedChannels = [ChannelType.GuildText];

        if (allowedChannels.includes(interaction.channel.type))
        {
            const inv = await interaction.channel.createInvite();
            interaction.reply(inv.url);
        }
        else return;

        
    },

async execute(interaction) {

        const allowedChannels = [ChannelType.GuildText];

        if (allowedChannels.includes(interaction.channel.type))
        {
            const inv = await interaction.channel.createInvite();
            interaction.reply(inv.url);
        }
        else return;

        
    },

i used this if statement to narrow it down more but the autocomplete still didnt show 🤔 ill try diff methods or maybe just move to typescript despairge

tried both of those, but it didnt help the intellisense for (inv.url) it is what it is tho ill just work without the intellisense thanks tho

one sec seems like i used inCachedGuild() wrong

const { SlashCommandBuilder, PermissionFlagsBits, ChatInputCommandInteraction, PermissionOverwriteManager } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('lockdown')
    .setDescription('Lockdown the selected channel')
    .addChannelOption(option => option.setName('channel').setDescription('Channel to lockdown').setRequired(true))
    .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.ModerateMembers)
    .setDMPermission(false),

    /**
     * @param {ChatInputCommandInteraction<'cached'>} interaction
     *
     */

    async execute(interaction) {
        const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel');
        
        if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) return;

        const inv = await channel.createInvite();
        await console.log(inv.url);

        const everyoneRole = interaction.guild.roles.everyone;

        await channel.permissionOverwrites.create(everyoneRole, { SendMessages: false });
        
        await interaction.reply(`${channel} has been locked.`);
    },
};

const { SlashCommandBuilder, PermissionFlagsBits, ChatInputCommandInteraction, PermissionOverwriteManager } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
    .setName('lockdown')
    .setDescription('Lockdown the selected channel')
    .addChannelOption(option => option.setName('channel').setDescription('Channel to lockdown').setRequired(true))
    .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.ModerateMembers)
    .setDMPermission(false),

    /**
     * @param {ChatInputCommandInteraction<'cached'>} interaction
     *
     */

    async execute(interaction) {
        const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel');
        
        if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) return;

        const inv = await channel.createInvite();
        await console.log(inv.url);

        const everyoneRole = interaction.guild.roles.everyone;

        await channel.permissionOverwrites.create(everyoneRole, { SendMessages: false });
        
        await interaction.reply(`${channel} has been locked.`);
    },
};

that is how you use it right? let me try restart my VSC

CommandInteractionOptionResolver#getChannel() Gets a channel option.

oh yeah i had that code before, the ChannelType.GuildText then i removed it let me try it all together in one go

const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel', [ChannelType.GuildText]);

const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel', [ChannelType.GuildText]);

im assuming this is how its done

const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel', [ChannelType.GuildText]);
        
if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) return;

const inv = await channel.createInvite();

const channel = interaction.options.getChannel('channel', [ChannelType.GuildText]);
        
if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) return;

const inv = await channel.createInvite();

I have this now but it still shows 'any' when i hover over monkahmm

updating my code to this it shows TextChannel and now the intellisense works for inv wow thanks a lot to everyone who helped genuinely really appreciate pepeok

dont want to close this thread JUST yet alright so theres a few more questions i have firstly this has fixed my problem, and autocomplete/intellisense now shows up for the inv variable. - will intellisense now show up for any variable that i create, without having to specifiy the type in a jsDOC comment? secondly - youve shown me some code which solves my problem, but could you please explain WHY it fixes the problem it still works even after changing some code, e.g changing @param {ChatInputCommandInteraction<'cached'>} interaction to @param {ChatInputCommandInteraction} interaction, or simply just deleting the if (!interaction.inCachedGuild()) return;. im guessing i can just replace that with setDMPermission(false) im assuming that specifying the channel type with [ChannelType.GuildText] is the most important part thirdly is it simply because it narrows down the channel? - idrk how to word this but im not sure how to implement this same code in all my different commands, but i would definitely like to use this method to enable intellisense and autocomplete in all my sub directories. if there is one general way that i can do it for any type of variable then please let me know sorry if this seems like a lot of questions but this seems like the only place i can get help from people who can explain rather than just reading docs ohhh i see interesting i might do that in the near future thanks for all the pepeok
