Member Guild Permissions via API
Is there a reason the discord-api-types package does not contain any of the optional values returned by the Discord API? I am trying to use permissions off a guild member, but my typescript is throwing a fit because the package does not include permissions on the type. Discord documentation has permissions as optional.

- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

discord-api-types documentation
discord-api-types - Imagine typings
discord-api-types is a simple Node/Deno module that brings up to date typings for Discord's API
discord's official documentation has permissions as optional
mostly curious why the discord-api-types package has absolutely no optional values in it
didnt see the subtype
makes more sense now that I look at how it's split up
well now im curious as to how I'm supposed to get a member's overall permissions via api
administrator, manage server, etc.
essentially trying to check if a user can make certain changes to the server itself
in the sense that I need to limit a user's access to certain features if they aren't an administrator
and from outside of a bot, just using the bot's credentials
it's for a website independent of the bot
user logs in with oauth, site pulls certain guild details through the bot's credentials, then needs to determine what the user has access to
the site then makes configuration changes
everything works aside from figuring out what guild-level permissions the user has
I still need to be able to pull it through the id, not solely oauth
the server
I was doing that before and wanted to avoid relying on the bot being online, but I'll look into the role stuff
I've got a way to mimic a user for debugging, but that only works when the server doesn't need oauth
everything is id based rather than oauth
server validates it off the actual logged in user
it mimics certain access, not the entire site
as far as the server is concerened, your actual permission to make requests is based on the logged in user
the mimicing only changes what the frontend displays and behaves as
ive got full perms so it behaves like I'm logged in as someone else in terms of what I can see
