This is the code for my "bag" or inventory command

Question

@client.command()
async def bag(ctx):
    await open_account(ctx.author)
    user = ctx.author
    users = await get_bank_data()
    
    try:
        bag = users[str(user.id)]["bag"]
    except:
        bag = []


    em = discord.Embed(title = "Bag")
    for item in bag:
        name = item["item"]
        amount = item["amount"]

        em.add_field(name = name, value = amount)    

    await ctx.send(embed = em)

So i want to check if there is a specific item in the bag. Suppose the item name is "common", how would i do that? Ive tried numerous for item in bag and stuff like that but none work!

Answer 1

So if you want to check if there is an item in the list you could just do this:

@client.command()
async def bag(ctx):
    await open_account(ctx.author)
    user = ctx.author
    users = await get_bank_data()
    
    try:
        bag = users[str(user.id)]["bag"]
    except:
        bag = []


    em = discord.Embed(title = "Bag")
    for item in bag:
        name = item["item"]
        amount = item["amount"]

        em.add_field(name = name, value = amount)

    for item in bag:
        if name == "common":
            #do stuff  

    await ctx.send(embed = em)
