I’ve been having some hard time writing this and I searched a lot for any similar questions but didn’t find any.
So I have this Schema:
new mongoose.Schema({ Guild: String, Username: String, UserID: String, Channel: String, Type: String, Reason: String, Time: Date, })
And I want to automatically delete the channel after x time of its creation, the Time
is saved as <channel>.createdTimestamp
And here is the condition of the event:
setInterval(async () => { hSchema.find().then((data) => { if (!data && !data.length) return data.forEach(async (value) => { const user = value.UserID; var time = value.Time; // time of the creation of channel var res = time.getTime(); // time in ms // check if user is premium uSchema.findOne({ User: user}, async (err, userData) => { // if user is not premium if (!userData) { const destruct = ms('1m'); // time to pass before deleting var date = res + destruct; if () { // I can't figure out how to check if x time has passed since the creation of channel // Do stuff here const ch = data.Channel; const channel = client.channels.cache.get(ch) channel.delete() value.delete() } } }) }) }); }, ms("10 seconds"));
So as I said I just need some help on how to check if x ms has passed to use it in an if()
statement!

You can use Date.now()
to get the current time in milliseconds, then subtract whatever time you need (in milliseconds), and check that versus your created timestamp, if the number is greater it’s been more than a minute!
const minuteInMs = 60000; if (Date.now() - minuteInMs > channel.createdTimestamp) { console.log("more than a minute"); } else { console.log("less than a minute"); }
