How can i get value to post as a message in discord.js

Question

I'm trying to create a command which outputs the users Xbox gamerscore in a simple message. Right now I'm able to retrieve the gamerscore using the Xbox API but I don't know how to get that data into a discord message.

This is my code right now:

        const authInfo = await this._authenticate();
        const userXuid = await XboxLiveAPI.getPlayerXUID(gamertag, authInfo);

        XboxLiveAPI.getPlayerSettings(gamertag, authInfo, ['Gamerscore']).then(console.info);
    }

And this is what is returned to the console:

2020-07-07T13:29:07.533242+00:00 app[worker.1]: [ { id: 'GamerScore', value: '78855' } ]

Conclusion

So how would I get the value 78855 to send as a discord message? Any help would be greatly appreciated cheers.

Answer 1

This is an array of objects;

.then((i) => message.reply(i[0].value));

This is assuming you're within an event where message is defined. Such as:

client.on('message', msg => {
   // Code here
});

Answer 2

It seems like XboxLiveAPI.getPlayerSettings() is an asynchronouse operation and returns a promise.

Have you tried:

const scores = await XboxLiveAPI.getPlayerSettings(gamertag, authInfo, ['Gamerscore']);
const value = scores[0].value;

// the extracted value can now be sent in a discord message.
message.reply(value)

Or using the.then() functionality you may update your code in the following way:

XboxLiveAPI.getPlayerSettings(gamertag, authInfo, ['Gamerscore']).then((scores) => message.reply(scores[0].value);
