Extending EmbedBuilder class

Hello I created this Embed class to always have the same color and footer on my embeds. However, I'd like the setFooter to override only when it's not specified when calling the class. How could I make this ?

const { EmbedBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { DateNow } = require('./utils');

class Embed extends EmbedBuilder {
  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);

    super.setColor('ffffff');

    super.setFooter({
      text: `Influence • ${DateNow}`,
      iconURL:
        'https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/xxxxxx.png',
    });
  }
}

module.exports = Embed;

const { EmbedBuilder } = require('discord.js');
const { DateNow } = require('./utils');

class Embed extends EmbedBuilder {
  constructor(...args) {
    super(...args);

    super.setColor('ffffff');

    super.setFooter({
      text: `Influence • ${DateNow}`,
      iconURL:
        'https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/xxxxxx.png',
    });
  }
}

module.exports = Embed;

You can type the manual fields first then place the ...args so:

 constructor(...args) {
  super({color: "ffffff", footer: {text: "Influence * ${DateNow}"}}, ...args)
 }

 constructor(...args) {
  super({color: "ffffff", footer: {text: "Influence * ${DateNow}"}}, ...args)
 }

So it means that if in args I have .setFooter this will overwrite the actual footer: {text: "Influence * ${DateNow}"}}

I'm getting this error when passing no setColor in the new instance I tried with color not footer yet tried 0xffffff too

Use the Colors import from discord.js and then use Colors.white

SourceaeOP•2y ago

what if I wanted a custom color ?

Looped•2y ago

0x didn't work? I believe that's what I use unless I have changed

SourceaeOP•2y ago

I tried 0xffffff and #ffffff too

ColorResolvable Can be a number, hex string, an RGB array like: ```js (more...)

The above is the correct syntax

Ah my bad, here is the correct documentation. https://old.discordjs.dev/#/docs/discord.js/14.12.1/class/Embed?scrollTo=color

Discord.js

Discord.js is a powerful node.js module that allows you to interact with the Discord API very easily. It takes a much more object-oriented approach than most other JS Discord libraries, making your bot's code significantly tidier and easier to comprehend.

correct syntax was just color: 0xffffff no quote thanks for the help 🙂
