How to get the content of a pinned message discord.js

Time:06-16

I am making a Discord bot in discord.js and I want to get the content of a pinned message.

I know I can use interaction.channel.messages.fetchPinned().then(pinnedMessages => /* do stuf */ ); to fetch the messages. But if you try to print out the value of pinnedMessages.content it will return undefined.

The type of pinnedMessages is an object, but I do not know how I can get the contents of it.

So, how do I do this?

CodePudding user response:

fetchPinned returns a collection of messages. There are a couple of methods you can use, depending on your needs.

To get the content of the first pinned message, you can use:

let messages = await interaction.channel.messages.fetchPinned()
let firstMessage = messages.first()

console.log(firstMessage.content)

To get a pinned message by its ID:

let messages = await interaction.channel.messages.fetchPinned()
let messageById = messages.get('MESSAGE ID HERE')

console.log(messageById.content)

If you want to log all pinned messages' content:

let messages = await interaction.channel.messages.fetchPinned()

messages.forEach(msg => {
  console.log(msg.content)
})
