The code imports an authenticated HTTP request client requestAuthQ from the 'discord request' module and defines an async function getUser that retrieves a user's details from the Discord API. The getUser function is exported as a module, allowing it to be imported and used in other JavaScript files.

Run example

npm run import -- "discord users"

discord users

const {requestAuthQ} = importer.import("discord request")

async function getUser(userId = '@me') {
  return await requestAuthQ({
    method: 'GET',
    url: `/users/${userId}`
  })
}

module.exports = {
  getUser,
}

What the code could have been:

import { requestAuthQ } from 'discord-request';

/**
 * Retrieves user data from the Discord API
 * @param {string} [userId='@me'] - The ID of the user to retrieve data for
 * @returns {Promise} - The user data
 */
async function getUser(userId = '@me') {
  // Validate the userId to prevent errors
  if (typeof userId!=='string') {
    throw new Error('User ID must be a string');
  }

  // Remove leading '@' if present to match Discord API requirements
  if (userId.startsWith('@')) {
    userId = userId.slice(1);
  }

  // Construct the API request URL
  const url = `/users/${userId}`;

  // Perform the API request
  const response = await requestAuthQ({
    method: 'GET',
    url,
  });

  // Return the user data
  return response.data;
}

export { getUser };
