Built-in Functions

For async/await, we can use this to pause the bot and handle certain events before proceeding.

  // `await client.wait(1000);` to "pause" for 1 second.
  client.wait = require("util").promisify(setTimeout);

A built-in Capitalization String Function for words in a sentence format.

  // <String>.toProperCase() returns a proper-cased string such as:
  // "A quick brown fox jumps the lazy dog".toProperCase()
  // returns "A Quick Brown Fox Jumps The Lazy Dog"
  String.prototype.toProperCase = function () {
    return this.replace(/([^\W_]+[^\s-]*) */g, function (txt) {
      return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();
    });
  };

A built-in Array.random() function to return a random element of an Array

  Array.prototype.random = function () {
    return this[Math.floor(Math.random() * this.length)];
  };

Handling unhandledRejection, events that fails because of missing .catch(e => {...}); to prevent bot from crashing in middle of production.

  process.on("unhandledRejection", (e) => {
    console.log(e);
  });
