Question

Hi there! I really love this wrapper.

Could you possibly explain why I'm unable to read usernames from this code? When console logging, it shows the user info but when putting it into code it does not.

Test:

const test = await req.app.get("client").users.fetch("359498825150365699");
console.log(test);

Code: (EJS)

<%= await discord_data.users.fetch(i.userID).username ? discord_data.users.fetch(i.userID).username : "Not In Guild" %> 

Notes: discord_data is the discord.js light client. i.userID is a user ID string from my database.

Hey There, Could I please see your client options?

[dylanjamesdev]

const client = new discord.Client({
  cacheGuilds: true,
  cacheChannels: true,
  cacheOverwrites: false,
  cacheRoles: true,
  cacheEmojis: true,
  cachePresences: false,
  fetchAllMembers: true
});

you cannot access a value from a promise like that, the awaiting part needs to be isolated:

(await discord_data.users.fetch(i.userID)).username

also, you dont have any error handling there, you're not awaiting the second fetch and a second fetch is not needed. just do it like this:

await discord_data.users.fetch(i.userID).then(u => u.username).catch(() => "Not in Guild")

Thank you so much :)

So on the package is has this

Besides the bot user, all other Users and Members are never automatically cached. Having an incomplete user cache is not very useful most of the time, so we prefer an all-or-nothing approach. The fetchAllMembers client option can be used to cache all Users and Members, otherwise they must be manually fetched if required. Events that include some User and/or Member data usually do not require fetching as the event itself already contains enough information to provide a complete User and/or Member object.

Try fetching the user manually and tell me how that goes..
