Nightbot resolves `$(urlfetch)` before $(eval)

[the_dream_star]

So trying to add some custom logic and make cool commands
but I I found a weird bug:
$(eval
last_user = $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=eb8a35dd&data=1).split(’,’)[1];
if (last_user) {
Sorry to slow was taken by ${last_user}
} else {
$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=df200448451fcc85&data=%2C$(user));
$(user) got the bacon!;
})

So we get Sorry to slow was taken by ${last_user} as our response but $(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/addquote?token=df200448451fcc85&data=%2C$(user)); was also called! How can i avoid this?

This is not a bug, inner elements are replaced before outer elements. In general, eval will always be called last.

Is there away to do something like this then?

Yes. Make this command an alias to a second command.

The first command will send part of a URL to the second command. The second command will visit the URL. The first command will either send a string that will result in a quote being added, or it will send a string that will cause nothing to happen but that contains data.

For example:

!first (alias to !second)
$(eval last_user = `$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/quote?token=eb8a35dd&data=1)`.split(",")[1]; if (last_user) {`?TAKEN?=${last_user}`} else {`addquote?token=df200448451fcc85&data=%2C$(user)`})

!second
$(eval if (`$(urlfetch http://twitch.center/customapi/$(query))`.startsWith("Successfully added entry ")) {`$(user) got the bacon!`} else {match = `$(query)`.match(/^\?TAKEN\?=(.*)$/); if (match == null) {`@$(user) use !first`} else {`Sorry to slow was taken by ${match[1]}`}})
