Importing embed and message variables from another file.

Hi, i am trying to make a button that never expire, so im using the method of doing and even handler inside client.on in index.js The issue is that the button edits an embed message from a command reply. When i try to export the embed variable from the command file and do embed.spliceFields(), i get this error :

undefined
undefined
node:events:497
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'spliceFields')
    at Client.<anonymous> (C:\Users\const\Documents\Discord\Bots\Silas Sombrelune\src\index.js:84:27)

Node.js v21.5.0

    at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:84:21)

Node.js v21.5.0

This is how i imported the embed :

const { raidmessage, raidembed } = require('./commands/Community/raid.js')
// raidembed = embed
// raidmessage = raidembed message sent by command reply with embeds: [raidembed]

const { raidmessage, raidembed } = require('./commands/Community/raid.js')
// raidembed = embed
// raidmessage = raidembed message sent by command reply with embeds: [raidembed]

The two "undefined" at the start of the error message are from :

  client.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
     // [...]
     console.log(raidembed)
     console.log(raidmessage)
     // [...]
  }

  client.on('interactionCreate', async (interaction) => {
     // [...]
     console.log(raidembed)
     console.log(raidmessage)
     // [...]
  }

So i assume the error is from how I import my variables... Could you help me please ? Feel free to ping me. Tell me if you need to see some code, and what part you need.

        const raidembed = new Discord.EmbedBuilder()

treble/luna•12mo ago

and where do you export them also if you're just listening for buttons, use <ButtonInteraction>.message no need to export, you can access the embeds there

'NoXzOP•12mo ago

in index.js from ./commands/Community/raid.js

treble/luna•12mo ago

Thats importing importing and exporting is basic js And you dont even need it here since you can access the message from the ButtonInteraction

'NoXzOP•12mo ago

so i could do : before:

raidembed.spliceFields(...)
await raidmessage.edit(...)

raidembed.spliceFields(...)
await raidmessage.edit(...)

after:

interaction.message.embeds.spliceFields(...)
await interaction.message.edit(...)

interaction.message.embeds.spliceFields(...)
await interaction.message.edit(...)

right ? if i understood well what you said

treble/luna•12mo ago

embeds returns an array and you can just ise <Interaction>.update to edit the message

'NoXzOP•12mo ago

okay thanks 👍 How do i get the fields in the embed ?

[
  Embed {
    data: {
      type: 'rich',
      title: 'RAID DU : A :',
      image: [Object],
      footer: [Object],
      fields: [Array],
      description: '# Caveau des Incarnations\n### <:skull:1193157255407882340> Normal (:)',
      color: 9124820
    }
  }
]

[
  Embed {
    data: {
      type: 'rich',
      title: 'RAID DU : A :',
      image: [Object],
      footer: [Object],
      fields: [Array],
      description: '# Caveau des Incarnations\n### <:skull:1193157255407882340> Normal (:)',
      color: 9124820
    }
  }
]

ik this is basic js but i forgot how to do it (i tried embed.fields but it returns undefined). or is it embed.data.fields ?

treble/luna•12mo ago

embeds returns an array You should know how to get items from the array If not, i recommend brushing up on your js knowledge, #rules 3 #resources
