More concise way to edit sent embeds
I am currently dealing editing the fields of an existing embed as a reply, where I'm only changing the fields and not the base content. However, so far the only way I've seen to edit embeds is to redefine the entire embed. I tried making a
baseEmbed which only containts setTitle(), .setDescription etc, and using .addFields() for the editable content. However, .addFields() mutates the existing embed rather than making a new one and as such it simply keeps adding new copies of the fields. Is there any way to get this to work without having to repeat the .setTitle() etc.?5 Replies

npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

Unless I'm misunderstanding your question
Structures from the API cannot be edited directly. To do so, you can create a new structure (a builder) using the
.from() method
as a side note,
<EmbedBuilder>.setFields() exists and completely overwrites all fieldsthat's really useful, thank you
