User#avatarDecoration property is always null. about discord.js HOT 4 OPEN

Edited the title, as I found another issue about the "banner" being null, but found it isn't null when using client.users.fetch('ID', { force: true })

from discord.js.

The avatar_decoration_data issue may be a valid bug - thank you for reporting.

The banner being null is expected - Discord does not include this data in the user object send with events, and it must be explicitly fetched to retrieve it. This is documented.

yeah, I realized the banner one needed to be force fetched after making the report. Which is why I removed it from the post.
I could make a pr for fixing the avatarDecoration. But I don't know how y'all would want to handle the object that is provided by the API.

Unfortunately not: Discord renamed the property from avatar_decoration to avatar_decoration_data (discord/discord-api-docs#6464). Therefore, it being always null is correct behaviour.

Since Discord has not merged the change of documentation, there is nothing (yet) to do.

#9888 exists as a draft for when Discord is ready to document the change, but as said above, there's nothing that can be done otherwise.
