Add Starboard support by java-coding-prodigy · Pull Request #881 · Together-Java/TJ-Bot

java-coding-prodigy · 2023-09-10T17:09:55Z

This feature adds a Starboard.
Certain emojis which when added as a reaction to a message in a channel which everyone has permissions to, will be sent as an embed in the starboard channel.
Both the emojis and the channel are customizable through config.json

application/config.json.template

    }
+    "starboard": {
+        "emojiNames" : ["star"],
+        "channelName": "starboard"


channelNamePattern please (and in the code Pattern.compile(...) then, matching the channel)

In that case, I would only have one pattern and not an array right? The design you are referring to I presume is the one where if the user wants multiple emojis they would need to seperate it by a pipe?

the emoij names can stay non-pattern like that. but the channel name should be a pattern, so that we have some flexibility in naming it.

these details are outdated extremely quick, cause people editing the config wont notice that its duplicated here. get rid of that. instead, describe what a starboard is.

too complex for a if, put it into a helper method

bad method name. its missing a shouldXXX, otherwise it sounds as if this method, when called, will ignore the message

whats the point of the database entry? its not used anywhere right now. id guess u want to check whether it exists to not duplicate-post? but that check seems to be missing right now.

also, u will have to additionally put an in-memory cache as layer above the DB to prevent checking the DB a million times in 5 seconds when someone posts an announcement. u can look in some of the other classes for that, search for Caffeine(cache).

The database is being used for the check, that is what the if is for. However the current approach seems to be insanely slow as I fetch the entire list of entries.

I'll look into it.

i think your missing my point on the question. what is the point of the database entry? it does not control any logic right now.
you have:

if (database doesnt contain it) { put it into database }

but thats it. what point does it serve, sitting in the db? theres nothing in ur code that would control anything based on it.

u likely intended to stop transfering the message if its contained in the db, i.e.

if (database does not contain it) { copy message to starboard }

but u dont have that. you always copy the message to the starboard, regardless of database

Oh oops. Ur right mb 😅

java-coding-prodigy · 2023-10-06T13:06:31Z

Uh oh.
I did something wrong apparently.
Well what happened was I just reset my state softly to the first commit. Then cherry-picked #902 ‘s commit and applied all the changes of the stash.
But now even the changes of those commits which have been merged into develop from other branches are showing up in the diff which makes no sense to me.

java-coding-prodigy · 2023-10-06T13:34:01Z

Issue seems to be resolved after fixing merge conflicts. Weird but I’ll take it.

+            .build();
+    }


can u also check for attachments and add that in the embed

I set the image of the embed as the first image file in the attachments, if any.
