Ping command help - Beginner

Hi. I am just a beginner in discord.js. I have done some projects in discord.py. My problem is that, I cannot get heads or tails to make a Ping command in js. I tried the example in guide too as well as in stackoverflow but, couldn't get it I know at least i should give an example, but, i cannot cuz no code is usable for me(as far as i saw). I am thinking of a ping slash command. If u could help me with such a command that has an embed counting the latency and api. It would be helpful for me to understand better. Also, I am using replit to code. Sorry for this foolish question. I can't get any better way other than this

As i said earlier, I am beginner

You should try the code in the guide, and if you have any errors, send them here so we can help you solve them

Client#ws The WebSocket manager of the client

NanotechPikachu•15mo ago

I can't understand a single thing in that

Danial•15mo ago

Do you know JavaScript?

NanotechPikachu•15mo ago

Well, truthfully no. I was just trying.

Danial•15mo ago

Then you'd wanna start by learning JavaScript first, check out #resources and #useful-servers, you can't really do much and won't understand anything without learning it

I know that i need to know js. The problem isnt that. The code in guide must work na? I copied it and still it didn't work. Well, am i missing anything?

Danial•15mo ago

It does work, "didn't work" doesn't really help us help you solve the issue you're having, any errors?

NanotechPikachu•15mo ago

The guide tells me to create a folder and store the slash cmd there. I stored it and when i search for the slash cmd, there is none I will try again then

Danial•15mo ago

Alright

Well, this is my cmd in index.js

NanotechPikachu•15mo ago

The error

Danial•15mo ago

A great example of why you need to learn JavaScript before you continue, you're importing Client twice

NanotechPikachu•15mo ago

Hmmm so, do i have to remove the first

const { Client....}

const { Client....}

? The heck. Now i see it, i have made the same code twice Bruh. Another error came Lemme try to find In the code, it says collection isn't defined

Danial•15mo ago

#rules 2 and 5

NanotechPikachu•15mo ago

I understand that i come from rule 2 but, not 5

Danial•15mo ago

You don't know JavaScript so anyone who'd wanna help would need to hold your hand entirely and explain even basic things

NanotechPikachu•15mo ago

Well, I can't deny it as it's partially true. Hmmmm.... I think py is best suited for me despite just knowing some looping i created codes..... Hmmmm Anyway, thnx for ur time Well, any idea to close this?

Danial•15mo ago

Of course, and don't think you need to, it'll close automatically after inactivity

NanotechPikachu•15mo ago

Hmmm ok
