Image buffer displays outside of embed about guide HOT 2 CLOSED

Thank you @almostSouji
This works:

var img = await Jimp.read('https://i.imgur.com/wSTFkRM.png');
var imgBuf = await img.getBufferAsync(Jimp.AUTO);

const exampleEmbed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle('important title')
.setDescription('meaningful description')
.attachFiles([{name: "image.png", attachment:imgBuf}])
.setImage('attachment://image.png');

discordChannel.send(exampleEmbed);

However this doesn't work if you don't use '.png' at the end of 'file' name and it also should not just give a crooked output if used incorrectly.

Re redundancy - I think you missed my point, my code snippet is just using a file but the point is to illustrate work with a local buffer. In real life application one might not have a file.

I did see the warnings and I googled far and deep and did try every possible combination I could think of before opening this issue, so I think you might need to update the code or at least add an example of working with buffer here: https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/embeds.html#using-the-richembed-constructor

otherwise it seems like really hard to discover. Thanks again for your prompt reply and giving a hint that finally solved my issue

As you can see here attachFiles takes an array of FileOptions which may include a name and the attachment itself.
Naming the file then allows you to properly reference it from the setImage method, which I hoped the yellow warnings all over the guide would suggest.

There's also quite some redundancy in your snippet as you can directly provide an URL as buffer to above mentioned attachment property.
If you have the image on imgur anyways reattaching it is however not even needed as you can simply set embed images to an URL directly.
