This code defines a command handler that leverages an asynchronous function to interact with an external API (https://whatdoesthiscodedo.com/api/stream-text
) to explain what a piece of code does. Here's a breakdown of its functionality:
1. wdtcd
Function:
- The
wdtcd
function is an asynchronous function that takes a code snippet (code
) as its input. - Error handling: If no code is provided, it throws an error with the message
'Code is required'
. - API Request:
- It uses
axios.post
to send a POST request to thehttps://whatdoesthiscodedo.com/api/stream-text
endpoint. - The request contains the code snippet in the request body as JSON data.
- The
content-type
header is explicitly set toapplication/json
.
- It uses
- The function extracts the
data
(API response) from the server and returns it. - If any error occurs while making the request, it catches the error and throws it with its message.
2. Command Handler:
- This portion hooks the
wdtcd
function into a command structure that can be executed within a chat-like system. - Usage Example:
- It listens for
.wdtcd <code>
(or similar commands) in the text message. - If the
text
(code snippet provided by the user) is missing, it informs the user with an example of how to use the command (.wdtcd console.log("Hello World");
).
- It listens for
- Calling the API:
- The handler calls the
wdtcd
function with the user's provided code snippet. - If successful, it replies back to the user with the explanation retrieved from the API.
- The handler calls the
- Error Handling:
- If an error occurs (e.g., invalid code or a failure in the API request), it informs the user of the error message.
3. Attributes:
- The handler defines metadata:
help
: Provides usage instructions.tags
: Categorizes it under the 'tools' grouping.command
: Specifies the supported command such as.wdtcd
or.whatdoesthiscodedo
.limit
: Indicates that there might be a rate or usage limit enforced for this command.
Purpose:
This code essentially provides a chat command (.wdtcd
) that allows a user to input a code snippet. The snippet is sent to the whatdoesthiscodedo.com
API, which presumably explains what the provided code does. The explanation is then sent back to the user. If there are any issues (e.g., invalid code, API failure), it provides error feedback in the chat.
