I’m quite new to discord.js and js in general. I haven’t been able to figure out how to let a user execute a command to query a MySQL database.
In my index.js file, I’ve been able to successfully connect js to my local MySQL database and it runs a quick test on the table ‘users’ on startup.
require('dotenv/config');
const {Client, IntentsBitField} = require('discord.js');
const {CommandHandler} = require('djs-commander');
const path = require('path');
const mysql = require('mysql');
const client = new Client({
intents: [
IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds, //lets us get info on servers
IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers, //info on users
IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
],
});
//lets us write events/commands etc to the other folders to keep this file clean
new CommandHandler({
client,
eventsPath: path.join(__dirname, 'events'),
commandsPath: path.join(__dirname, 'commands'),
});
//mysql connection
var pool = mysql.createPool({
host: process.env.DB_HOST,
user: process.env.DB_USER,
password: process.env.DB_PASSWORD,
database: process.env.DB_DATABASE,
port: process.env.DB_PORT
})
var connection = pool.getConnection((err, con) => {
if (err) {
console.log("Error DB connect: " + err);
throw err;
}
else {
connection = con;
console.log("Connection established.");
connection.query('SELECT points FROM users',(err, result) => {
console.log(result);
//interaction.reply({content: `Result:${result}`})
});
}
});
client.login(process.env.TOKEN);
I’ve also been able to create a separate names.js file that executes /names in Discord, albeit, it only produces text.
module.exports = {
data: {
name: 'names',
description: 'gets all the names',
},
run: ({interaction}) => {
//connection.query('SELECT username FROM users',(err, result) => {
// console.log(result);
// interaction.reply({content: `Result:${result}`})
//});
interaction.reply('collecting data');
},
}
Does anyone know how I can incorporate a query into the result of a /command? In this example, the /names command would return a message with the usernames from the database.
