My .json file isnt saving

[MonkleeGamer]

I have a simple discord bot used for tracking how much donations my team has donated. I save it into a coins.json file using this.

fs.writeFile("./coins.json", JSON.stringify(coins), (err) => {
if(err) console.log(err)
});

This worked for the last 2-3 days, but today it randomly stopped saving. I have tried running refresh in the console after I updated the contributions in discord and it just resets the coins.json file back to what it was.

File issue parsing

Hi there @godboyxd. json isn’t very good for storing data because they corrupt easily. I suggest trying one of following which is better and has a less risk of corruption: Quick.db – https://www.npmjs.com/package/quick.db (Best for Starters) Endb – https://github.com/chroventer/endb Enmap – https://www.npmjs.com/package/enmap Better-Sqlite3 – https://www.npmjs.com/package/better-sqlite3 Mongoose – https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongoose Postgres – https://www.npmjs.com/package/pg html-db –…

This similar issue happened on this thread, I did address it! (link above) @MonkleeGamer. It would be best to use a database package rather than storing on JSON because it will corrupt easily.

Can you try fs-extra named module? Code is similiar only change module name. Glitch is save data to JSON but don’t write. Can you try to get data with code/eval?
