EmbedParser doesn't work

[marcussaw123]

Code:

const { Interpreter, StringTransformer } = require("tagscript")

const ts = new Interpreter();

let result = await ts.run('{args}', { args: new StringTransformer('Hi, How are you?') });

console.log(result)

Returns:

Response {
  raw: '{args}',
  body: '{args}',
  variables: {
    args: StringTransformer { str: 'Hi, How are you?', escape: false }
  },
  actions: {},
  keyValues: {}
}

Shouldn't the output be:

Response {
  raw: '{args}',
  body: 'Hi, How are you?',
  variables: {
    args: StringTransformer { str: 'Hi, How are you?', escape: false }
  },
  actions: {},
  keyValues: {}
}

Plugins such as tagscript-plugin-discord doesn't work as well, when using transformers.

Package Versions:

"discord.js": "^14.5.0",
"tagscript": "^1.2.11",
"tagscript-plugin-discord": "^2.0.4"

I missed the parser in https://github.com/imranbarbhuiya/TagScript/tree/main/packages/tagscript#transformers example. You need to add StrictVarsParser too. I'll fix that examples and will add some more detailed documentations.

const { Interpreter, StringTransformer,  StrictVarsParser } = require("tagscript")

const ts = new Interpreter(new StrictVarsParser());

let result = await ts.run('{args}', { args: new StringTransformer('Hi, How are you?') });

console.log(result)

[imranbarbhuiya]

examples are updated now

[marcussaw123]

Is the documents for parsers for the module tagscript-plugin-discord also outdated?

I can't seem to get the RequiredParser to work

const { Interpreter } = require("tagscript")
const { RequiredParser } = require("tagscript-plugin-discord")

let ts = new Interpreter(new RequiredParser())

let result = await ts.run("{require(757425366209134764, 668713062186090506, 737961895356792882):You aren't allowed to use this tag.}")

console.log(result)

Result:

Response {
  raw: "{require(757425366209134764, 668713062186090506, 737961895356792882):You aren't allowed to use this tag.}",
  body: ''",
  variables: {},
  actions: {
    require: { ids: [Array], message: "You aren't allowed to use this tag." }
  },
  keyValues: {}
}

Is there anything I need to parse in for this to work?

[imranbarbhuiya]

It's working as expected. In the actions property, you are getting the ids and messages. So in your code, you need to add a check like this

const { Interpreter } = require("tagscript")
const { RequiredParser } = require("tagscript-plugin-discord")

let ts = new Interpreter(new RequiredParser())

let result = await ts.run("{require(757425366209134764, 668713062186090506, 737961895356792882):You aren't allowed to use this tag.}")

console.log(result)

if (!result.actions.require.ids.includes(interaction.user.id)) {
// u can have channel, role, too 
return interaction.reply(result.actions.require.message)
}

Adding a guide with all these uses is planned. Till then, I'll try to add as much documentation as possible in my free time.

Last question, how do I use EmbedParser? Really appreciate you helping me.

[imranbarbhuiya]

let embed
if (result.actions.embed) {
   embed = new EmbedBuilder(response.actions.embed);
}

[marcussaw123]

I can't seem to find the embed property in the actions object

const { Interpreter } = require("tagscript")
const { EmbedParser } = require("tagscript-plugin-discord")

let ts = new Interpreter(new EmbedParser())
let result = await ts.run('{ embed: { "title": "Hello!", "description": "This is a test embed." } }')

console.log(result)

output:

Response {
  raw: '{ embed: { "title": "Hello!", "description": "This is a test embed." } }',
  body: '{ embed: { "title": "Hello!", "description": "This is a test embed." } }',
  variables: {},
  actions: {},
  keyValues: {}
}

The embed property is not found in the actions object

[imranbarbhuiya]

space before embed isn't allowed. You need to enter {embed: { "title": "Hello!", "description": "This is a test embed." } }

[marcussaw123]

Is there any way to parse in values into the EmberParser?

{ embed: {
    "title": "Here's a random duck!",
    "image": { "url": {user.avatar} },
    "color": 15194415
} }

This returns an JSON error:

Unexpected token h in JSON at position 63

Is there any way to parse in the user's avatar into the embed?

[marcussaw123]

I am also unable to parse in images or thumbnails using the properties method.

{embed(title):Rules}
{embed(description):Follow these rules to ensure a good experience in our server!}
{embed(thumbnail):{user.avatar}}

The embed output:

{
   "title":"Rules",
   "description":"Follow these rules to ensure a good experience in our server!",
   "thumbnail":"https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/958188607494049792/b5e6cd7d5380e58e6fe14c3668f02714.webp"
}

This returns an error:

DiscordAPIError[50035]: Invalid Form Body
embeds[0].thumbnail[MODEL_TYPE_CONVERT]: Only dictionaries may be used in a ModelType

This is because the url needs to be nested further in the thumbnail property:

{
   "title":"Rules",
   "description":"Follow these rules to ensure a good experience in our server!",
   "thumbnail":{
      "url":"https://cdn.discordapp.com/avatars/958188607494049792/b5e6cd7d5380e58e6fe14c3668f02714.webp"
   }
}

How do I fix this issue?

[marcussaw123]

Also another bug I came to find is the color not being parsed as an integer:

{embed(title):test}
{embed(color):0x2F3036}

The JSON value returned:

{
   "title":"test",
   "color": "0x2F3036"
}

The Discord API for whatever reason only accepts number, which when parsing the embed into the EmbedBuilder I get an error that 0x2F3036 from the JSON value isn't an integer.

This however is an easy fix, all you need to do is convert the hex code to an integer:

if(res.actions?.embed.color) {
     res.actions.embed.color = parseInt(res.actions.embed.color.replace("#", ""), 16)
}

You might want to fix this in the package.
