is there any way to make my sass files less messy?

Look up the 7-1 pattern

I can't write javascript or do programming all together

That way instead of having a list of 6 things to do you have a list of 3 for example with easy, manageable parts

Might help to pair it with your code too, eg:

const string = '123456';

// 1 - check if string exists
if (string == null) { // 1a - if string is null
  return null;
} else { // 1b - if string isn't null
  ...
}

const string = '123456';

// 1 - check if string exists
if (string == null) { // 1a - if string is null
  return null;
} else { // 1b - if string isn't null
  ...
}

Great job with the steps, really like that Epic. My input to this too -- and it might just be a me thing -- is it might be easier to separate them out into sublists, eg:

1. check if string exists
  1a. if string is null, return null
  1b. if string isn't null, parse string
2. ...

1. check if string exists
  1a. if string is null, return null
  1b. if string isn't null, parse string
2. ...

It's not a subclass but it's own thing -- I didn't want to override the parent props / methods

Basically just a wrapper class that instantiates the Discord class and has some utility functions to it

I ended up rewriting it to just be a regular class like Epic showed

Okay, I think I got it. Here's what I have:

// UmpireSingleton.php

<?php

namespace Umpire;

use Dotenv\Dotenv;
use Discord\Discord;
use Discord\Parts\Channel\Message;

class UmpireSingleton extends Discord
{
    private static UmpireSingleton $instance;

    private function __construct()
    {
        $dotenv = Dotenv::createImmutable(dirname(__DIR__, 1));
        $dotenv->load();
        $dotenv->required(['UMPIRE_TOKEN'])->notEmpty();

        parent::__construct([
            'token' => $_ENV['UMPIRE_TOKEN'],
        ]);
    }

    public static function getInstance(): UmpireSingleton
    {
        if (!isset(self::$instance)) {
            self::$instance = new self();
        }

        return self::$instance;
    }

    public static function startTopicThread(Message $message, array $topic): void
    {
        ...
    }
}

// UmpireSingleton.php

<?php

namespace Umpire;

use Dotenv\Dotenv;
use Discord\Discord;
use Discord\Parts\Channel\Message;

class UmpireSingleton extends Discord
{
    private static UmpireSingleton $instance;

    private function __construct()
    {
        $dotenv = Dotenv::createImmutable(dirname(__DIR__, 1));
        $dotenv->load();
        $dotenv->required(['UMPIRE_TOKEN'])->notEmpty();

        parent::__construct([
            'token' => $_ENV['UMPIRE_TOKEN'],
        ]);
    }

    public static function getInstance(): UmpireSingleton
    {
        if (!isset(self::$instance)) {
            self::$instance = new self();
        }

        return self::$instance;
    }

    public static function startTopicThread(Message $message, array $topic): void
    {
        ...
    }
}

And then:

// main.php

<?php

include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Umpire\UmpireSingleton;

$umpire = UmpireSingleton::getInstance();

...

// main.php

<?php

include __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Umpire\UmpireSingleton;

$umpire = UmpireSingleton::getInstance();

...

Because the Discord class uses a constructor, so I can't get the instance of the Discord class on the static Umpire class

I think I definitely need a singleton now that I'm writing it out and thinking about it more

See I was thinking that I don't even need it to be initialized in an object -- I'd be happy if I was just calling it from the class whch is why I wanted it to be static but I was getting errors trying to do that
