A few things have changed since the last devlog. dsc.archive has now reached v0.2.1 on npm:

• renamed fetchedTimestamp to fetchTimestamp to avoid cofusion;
• moved fetchTimestamp to the end of the FetchedMessages object, instead of after messages;
• if now authors, interactions and webhooks are empty maps, they will be returned as null in the result;
• added new types in index.d.ts, such as DefaultFields and DefaultOptions, to better show the default values;
• added comments on almost every property in index.d.ts, to better explain what each one does;
• updated the README.md with the new documentation for the changes made.

I spent a lot of time rewriting the output of fetchMessages(). Now, in addition to messages, it returns:

• fetchedTimestamp, a timestamp that shows when the fetch was performed;
• you can select whether to return:
  • the guild where the channel is located;
  • the channel;
  • the message authors, divided into:
    • authors (those who sent at least one normal message);
    • interactions (those who sent at least one message linked to an interaction);
    • webhooks.
      For each message author, if you select the message id in the fields, an array containing all the messages they sent will be displayed.

I also added some functions to better handle large fetches:

• get(id) for messages, even though it’s an array (this can be useful in certain cases);
• for both message authors and messages:
  • raw which returns the original array/map without the custom wrapper;
  • first(number?) and last(number?) functions, to return the first or last message(s).

In the next devlog I’ll finish updating index.d.ts and the README.md, then I’ll release v0.2.0 on npm.

v0.1.2

• Now if fields contains only objects, it will be treated as a whitelist, showing only the selected properties of those objects.
• Now fetchMessages() also accepts a Promise as the channel parameter and waits for it to resolve before continuing.
• Added support for all discord.js v14 versions.
• Added a quick setup guide to the README.md and updated the documentation for the changes made by this release.

v0.1.0

FetchMessages()

I created the first part of the library, the fetchMessages function, which allows you to fetch a number of (integer) messages between 1 and Infinity within a channel, filtering which message fields you want to include in the result. For more information, see the README.

v0.1.1

I added the GitHub Actions workflow for publishing to npm and updated the README to v0.1.1
