// type `await lib.` to display API autocomplete
const lib = require('lib')({token: process.env.STDLIB_SECRET_TOKEN});

let roles = await lib.discord.guilds['@0.2.2'].roles.list({
  guild_id: `${context.params.event.guild_id}`,
});

let role_name = "shark haters." // Replace this with the name of the role which you want to delete/recreate  

let role;
for (let i = 0; i < roles.length; i++) {
  if (roles[i].name == role_name) {
    role = roles[i];
    break;
  }
}

await lib.discord.guilds['@0.2.2'].roles.destroy({
  role_id: `${role.id}`,
  guild_id: `${context.params.event.guild_id}`,

await lib.discord.guilds['@0.2.2'].roles.create({
