Oauth2 bot reply

Im stuck if somebody can help: I got the info from the Oauth2, but now im lost as to how to send back a dm to the user

fetch('https://discordapp.com/api/v6/users/@me', {
  method: 'GET',
   headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${json.access_token}` }
}).then(response => response.json()).then(resp => {MakeappThread(resp.id)})

fetch('https://discordapp.com/api/v6/users/@me', {
  method: 'GET',
   headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${json.access_token}` }
}).then(response => response.json()).then(resp => {MakeappThread(resp.id)})

the above is fine, im getting the info. this the function that supposed to put the bot instance on

function MakeappThread(UID, servers){

client.on('ready', async () => {
    
    const user = client.users.cache.get(UID);
    user.send("HELLO")

});
}

function MakeappThread(UID, servers){

client.on('ready', async () => {
    
    const user = client.users.cache.get(UID);
    user.send("HELLO")

});
}

the function is firing, the client doesnt go on

I mean, OAuth2 and a bot are really completely different things What client? Where is it logged in? What makes it ready?

whenever I use client.whatever, Ineed to be inside a

client.on(...

client.on(...

in this file I have many listeners

client.on('ready', async interaction => { .. })
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => { .. })
client.on('messageCreate', async (msg) => {.. })
etc..

client.on('ready', async interaction => { .. })
client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => { .. })
client.on('messageCreate', async (msg) => {.. })
etc..

all the client.user, cache methods have to be used inside those client.on main function listeners in this same file i have the backend express routes that handle the auth2

app.get('/apps/application', async (req, res) => { 
... 
fetch('https://discordapp.com/api/v6/users/@me', {
method: 'GET',
 headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${json.access_token}` }
  }).then(response => response.json()).then(resp => console.log(resp.id))
}

app.get('/apps/application', async (req, res) => { 
... 
fetch('https://discordapp.com/api/v6/users/@me', {
method: 'GET',
 headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${json.access_token}` }
  }).then(response => response.json()).then(resp => console.log(resp.id))
}

i cannot use client.user or whatever inside an express endpoint, unless inside a .then() i make a new instance of the bot online, but that sounds weird the bot logins at the bottom of this file `client.login(token) I know Oauth2 and bot are 2 different things (that is why i put the backend and the bot in the same file) @yinoguns which scope do you mean

JavaScript scope

Mulo•2y ago

anywhere in the module?

Yinoguns•2y ago

Basic JS. If the client is in scope, then it is usable. Events are mearly the expected cause of needing to envoke the client in some way.

This is technically true but that doesn't mean your ready event is going to fire again just because an OAuth2 endpoint called a function Assuming you do have a client in scope, it's probably already fired ready at this point

function MakeappThread(UID, servers){
  if(client.isReady()) {
    // send message
  }
}

function MakeappThread(UID, servers){
  if(client.isReady()) {
    // send message
  }
}

you would just need to check that its ready, then use it
