How to use Message Create Collector ?

[anggi117]

Hii i have some question for this Message Create Collector

This my code :

$message->channel->createMessageCollector(fn ($message) => strpos($message->content, 'hello') !== false, [
    'time' => 1500,
])->done(function (Collection $messages) {
    foreach ($messages as $message) {
        var_dump($message);
    }
});

i using time for 1,5 second, but var_dump not respond anything. and if im using limit 1 the createMessageCollector will respond after im typing 2 "hello" even though i set that limit on 1

is there any answer and solutions for me ?

This function is not actually utilized anywhere within the library, but I believe it was created with the intention to make it easy to look for messages within a channel that contain certain features without having to worry about the loop running for too long and blocking the thread. I've never actually seen it used before and I don't know why you would ever want to use it instead of calling ->filter directly unless you had a lot of messages in the collection you're searching through.

$collection = $channels->messages->filter(function (Message $message)
{
  return str_contains($message->content, 'hello'); // Adds $message to $collection if it has hello in the content
});

As for why your var_dump is not responding, it is because it is inside of ->done and is losing context. Use a monolog logger and ->then instead.
