Optimizing Image Processing, Storage, and Strategies to Prevent Alts and Botting: Seeking Advice

Hello everyone! I'm seeking insights on optimizing image processing for my application, focusing on simple image editing tasks like overlaying pictures. Currently, I'm using the Sharp package for this, but I'm open to considering other approaches. I would greatly appreciate any advice on the best practices for efficient image processing. I'm debating whether to store image links in my database or utilize a CDN, talking about thousands of images. If you have experience with either approach, I'd love to hear your insights. Additionally, I'm interested in recommendations for image storage providers with permanent links or CDN services. Lastly, I'm also interested in strategies to prevent botting and alting. Any tips or techniques to safeguard against such activities would be extremely helpful - thank you!

[CLOSED] Question regarding Unicode and Custom emojis

Hi! Anyone knows if discord.js offers a way to check if an emoji/string is a valid discord unicode emoji and not a custom one? The only solution I found so far is by checking if this emoji map contains the emoji string: https://gist.github.com/Vexs/629488c4bb4126ad2a9909309ed6bd71 What is a better way to do this? Much love! <:Panda_Love:1116299125705687062>

[CLOSED] A question regarding discord.js with types. (TypeScript)

Hi! I'd have a question for the typescript users here. My commands can be run by the InteractionCreate and messageCreate event as well. Let me try to explain it. Since they can be a normal text message(with a prefix) or a slash command as well I have to get the arguments the following way (using plain javascript):

js async execute({ inter, args }) {
const testArg = inter.options?.getString('testarg', true) || args[0];

js async execute({ inter, args }) {
const testArg = inter.options?.getString('testarg', true) || args[0];

(This is because inter.options is not available when the interaction is a normal message) Now with typescript: I destruct the arguments this way since they can be of type CommandInteraction (when using InteractionCreate) and of type Message(when using messageCreate)

ts async execute({ inter, args }: { inter: CommandInteraction | Message, args: string[] }) {

ts async execute({ inter, args }: { inter: CommandInteraction | Message, args: string[] }) {

Now I can't get the argument the same way since inter.options only exists on CommandInteraction and not Message as well. So I have to check if the interaction is instanceof CommandInteraction just to get the options property.

ts (inter instanceof CommandInteraction) ? inter.options.getString('testarg', true) : args[0];

ts (inter instanceof CommandInteraction) ? inter.options.getString('testarg', true) : args[0];

"options" is declared this way in the discord.js module:

ts public options: Omit<     CommandInteractionOptionResolver<Cached>,     // ...     | 'getString'     | 'getChannel'     | 'getBoolean'   >;
//CommandInteractionOptionResolver looks like this
export class CommandInteractionOptionResolver<Cached extends CacheType = CacheType> { // ...   public getString(name: string, required: true): string;   public getString(name: string, required?: boolean): string | null; // ...

ts public options: Omit<     CommandInteractionOptionResolver<Cached>,     // ...     | 'getString'     | 'getChannel'     | 'getBoolean'   >;
//CommandInteractionOptionResolver looks like this
export class CommandInteractionOptionResolver<Cached extends CacheType = CacheType> { // ...   public getString(name: string, required: true): string;   public getString(name: string, required?: boolean): string | null; // ...

Now typescript tells me that

Property 'getString' does not exist on type 'Omit<CommandInteractionOptionResolver<CacheType>, "getMessage" | "getFocused" | "getMentionable" | "getRole" | "getAttachment" | ... 6 more ... | "getSubcommand">'

So I tried casting the inter.options property to type CommandInteractionOptionResolver like this which works fine:

ts (<CommandInteractionOptionResolver>inter.options).getString('testarg', false)

ts (<CommandInteractionOptionResolver>inter.options).getString('testarg', false)

And you might already see where this goes.. Just getting an argument (while also handling normal and slash commands at the same time) the code looks like this:

ts const testArg = (inter instanceof CommandInteraction) ? (<CommandInteractionOptionResolver>inter.options).getString('testarg', false) : args?[0];

ts const testArg = (inter instanceof CommandInteraction) ? (<CommandInteractionOptionResolver>inter.options).getString('testarg', false) : args?[0];

Here comes my question. Is there any other way of handling this so I can avoid all this work without setting the interaction to type any ? async execute({ inter, args }: { inter: any, args: string[] }) { Many thanks!
