Can I import the value of an interaction into another file?

Question

I'm trying to make a draft bot that takes the player amount from an interaction in my draftSize.js file and uses that value in my join.js file as a maximum value for my MessageComponentCollector.

Here is draftSize.js

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');
const { MessageActionRow, MessageButton } = require('discord.js');


module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('size')
        .setDescription('Sets the size of total players in your draft.')
        .addIntegerOption(option =>
            option.setName('players')
            .setDescription('Amount of players participating in the draft.')
            .setRequired(true)),
            
    async execute(interaction) {
        let playerSize = interaction.options.getInteger('players');

        await interaction.reply({ content: `You\'ve selected a ${playerSize} player draft. \n Next, type: ` + "```"  + '/captains {@FirstCaptain} {@SecondCaptain}' + "```"});
        console.log("test " + playerSize)
    },
};

And here is join.js:

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('@discordjs/builders');
const { MessageActionRow, MessageButton, Message } = require('discord.js');
const { playerSize } = require('./draftSize');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('join')
        .setDescription('Allow players to join your draft.'),

            
    async execute(interaction, channel) {
        const row = new MessageActionRow()
        .addComponents(
            new MessageButton()
                .setCustomId('joinButton')
                .setLabel('Join')
                .setStyle('SUCCESS'),
        );

        await interaction.reply({ content: `To join the draft, click the button below. Once the specified player amount has joined, the draft will begin!`, components: [row] });

        const filter = i => {
            return i.customId === 'joinButton'
        };
        
        const playerList = []

        const collectChannel = interaction.channel;
       const collector = collectChannel.createMessageComponentCollector({
           filter,
           max: playerSize,
           time: 1000 * 30
        })

        collector.on('collect', (i = MessageComponentInteraction) => {
            i.reply({
                content: 'you clicked a button',
                ephemeral: true
            })
            console.log(playerSize)
        })

        collector.on('end', (collection) => {
            collection.forEach((click) => {
                playerList.push(click.user.username)
            })
            collectChannel.send({ content: 'testing'})
            console.log(playerList);
        })

    },
};

In my draftSize.js I get my playerSize value, but whenever I try to import the value into my join.js file to use as my collectors max value it always returns undefined.

Sorry if any of this was unclear. Let me know if you need any clarification. Thanks!

Answer 1

If you check the column names:

runs.columns

You'll notice that there's a white space in front of your 'TEST' column names.

Index(['PLAYER NAME', ' TEST 1', ' TEST 2', ' TEST 3', ' TEST 4', ' TEST 5'], dtype='object')

You'll need to either clear the white space by applying the strip() string method:

runs.columns = runs.columns.str.strip()

or change your cols variable to:

cols = ["PLAYER NAME", " TEST 4"]

to match the column name.

Answer 2

You can either do this:

runs = pd.read_csv("runs.csv", sep=",\s*", engine="python")

Or this:

runs.columns = runs.columns.str.strip()
