not really sure what you mean assuming you're referring to discord-rpc, it doesn't depend on electron nor anything that depends on electron either way this also wouldn't be an issue with discord-rpc itself, nor something we would be able to help with

is it that you're installing from github directly for whatever reason?

decodedcoder•7mo ago

wdym installing from github ? The whole thing in the project depends on Electron or am i wrong

duck•7mo ago

it doesn't, no electron appears to be used in the example this is why it's only listed as a dev dependency when installing discord-rpc, it won't be using electron on its own you are free to use electron as you please

decodedcoder•7mo ago

That appears to be the only example is it possible to be used without electron

duck•7mo ago

yes, the example only uses electron to produce this it's not used in the actual rpc client the readme shows a minimal example that doesn't use electron

decodedcoder•7mo ago

thye minimal example do you mean the "### Browser Example" section in the readme ?

duck•7mo ago

yes

decodedcoder•7mo ago

but which file to run in this case ?

duck•7mo ago

I'm not exactly sure what you're asking discord-rpc is a package for you to use in your code what file you run is entirely up to you

decodedcoder•7mo ago

so the github project is not needed if im not going to use electron

duck•7mo ago

it's the source from which the package is published you wouldn't be installing from github none of this has anything to do with whether or not you're using electron

decodedcoder•7mo ago

so its should be used via npm

const clientId = '287406016902594560';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];

const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Logged in as', client.application.name);
  console.log('Authed for user', client.user.username);

  client.selectVoiceChannel('81384788862181376');
});

// Log in to RPC with client id
client.login({ clientId, scopes });

const clientId = '287406016902594560';
const scopes = ['rpc', 'rpc.api', 'messages.read'];

const client = new RPC.Client({ transport: 'websocket' });

client.on('ready', () => {

  client.selectVoiceChannel('81384788862181376');
});

// Log in to RPC with client id
client.login({ clientId, scopes });

okay i installed through npm Wouldn't RPC now be undefined because there is no import for the package ?

duck•7mo ago

I suppose you're right, it's not a 100% complete example, but it's fairly unmaintained atm, so I'm not sure if the example will be updated this is however something that you should know how to do

decodedcoder•7mo ago

I mean i might be able to figured it out, until then i will post a message here

 errno: -111,
  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 6463

 errno: -111,
  code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
  syscall: 'connect',
  address: '127.0.0.1',
  port: 6463

any idea about this error ? does this code run on the browser or node ? I'm so confused in the readme it says browser example
