Creating a emoji other than JPG via `GuildEmojiManager.create`

[didinele]

Sorry, but myself or other team members are simply unable to reproduce. We do seem to indeed send jpg type in this specific case, but Discord doesn't even look at that - considering we're successfully able to create animated/gif emoji from our testing.

If you still believe this is an issue on our end, please open a new issue as a bug report, with a complete reproduction sample (e.g. a full script I can copy paste and just node).

This is also a great example of good first issue, feel free to create a PR 👽

If nobody does it, I'll handle it in a couple of days.

This is supported already. The function you're looking at is not used in the emoji creation process AFAIK. Can you provide a code sample that creates a JPG emote contrary to
your expectations?

[requizm]

@didinele Oh, I couldn't find it. My code sample:

const buffer = getGifFromSomething();
await currentGuild.emojis.create({
  attachment: buffer, // How can I define image type as a GIF?
  name: emote.name,
});

I know I could use base64 encoded parameters just like data:image.... But is there any way to do without encoding base64 manually?

[didinele]

And this ends up making it jpg? Are you sure your gif data is correct? Could you share what getGifFromSomething does/some sample return data I could use to test this?

[requizm]

@didinele My problem is not related to getGifFromSomething() function. If I pass Buffer to currentGuild.emojis.create() function, That buffer is sent as a jpg to Discord API. But I also want to define buffer type like gif, jpeg or png.

I could also do this:

const buffer = getGifFromSomething();
await guild.emojis.create({
  attachment: `data:image/gif;base64,${buffer.toString('base64')}`,
  name: emote.name,
});

But I want to point out type parameter without base64 encoding.

Okay, again, I'm not asking what is sent to Discord. Is it actually making it a static emote? If not, this doesn't matter.

@didinele I'm sending an animated emote with image/jpg prefix, discord uploads as not animated emote. So it is a static emote.
