how it works

• data is stored in mongoose models

  • guild settings (channels, roles)
  • user's birthdays
  • birthday wishes

• when the bot logs in, the time event is emitted:

client.login(process.env.BOT_TOKEN!).then(() => client.emit("time"));

• which checks the time, if it is midnight, the interval is emitted
  • this returns an interval that runs every 24 hrs and checks for birthdays
  • if there's a birthday present, the birthday event is emitted with the designated user & guild ID

module.exports = (client: Client) => {
  const handleInterval = async (client: Client) => {
    let date = new Date();
    let filter = {};
    const birthdays = await Birthday.find(filter);

    const dateString = date.toLocaleDateString();
    const dateArray = dateString.split("/");
    const dateParsed = dateArray[0] + `/` + dateArray[1];

    for (const birthday of birthdays) {
      if (birthday.Birthday === dateParsed) {
        client.emit("birthday", [birthday.UserID, birthday.GuildID]);
      } else {
        //
      }
    }
  };

  return setInterval(
    async () => await handleInterval(client),
    1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
  ); // 1000 * 60 * 60 = 1 hr
};

birthday event

• fetches the channel to announce in and announces the birthday
  • 🔗 events/birthday/announce.ts

//...
const announceChannelId = guildData.AnnouncementChannel!;

channel = await(
  await(await client.guilds.fetch(guildId)).channels.fetch(announceChannelId)
).fetch() as TextChannel;

return await channel.send(/* ... */);

• fetches the birthday role (if it exists) and gives it to the user
  • 🔗 events/birthday/role.ts

let birthdayRole: Role;

targetGuild.roles.cache.forEach((role) => {
  if (role.id === guildData.BirthdayRole) {
    birthdayRole = role;
  }
  return;
});

try {
    return await user.roles.add(birthdayRole);
} catch (err) {
    //...
}
