how can I send a direct message to the user mentioned in a message? Discord JS-CodePudding

I'm using the discord.js library and node.js to create a Discord bot. Right now I need to code the bot such that when you send a message ie: "!send @ hello" it would send a DM to the user mentioned in the message, in this case the string: "hello"

Right now I'm trying to do that by doing the following (code is flawed and definitely will not work but I hope you can understand what I am trying to accomplish):

//get the user mentioned in the message
user = message.mentions[0]
//sending the message to said user
user.send("message")

Is there any way to do this?

this is the error it returns when I try the above code:

console.log((message.mentions)[0])

^ TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')

CodePudding user response：

Message.mentions returns MessageMentions object, which is not an array.

You should be able to get the users by using MessageMentions.users

let user = message.mentions.users.first();

// You need to check whether user exists, because the message could mention noone.
if (user) {
  user.send("message")
}

You wil also probably need to check whether User.dmChannel exists, and if it doesn't, you should create it using User.createDM

Try this:

message.mentions.members.first().send("message");
