How can i fetch messages in a dm-CodePudding

I wanna fetch messages in a dm, like i can in a channel

So i have tried

<user>.messages.fetch(id)

But no luck

So what can i do to fetch messages in a dm

Full code

let id = args[0]
let react = args.slice(1).join(' ')

let fetched = message.author.messages.fetch(id)

fetched.react(react)

I tried fetching a channel from the id of the author But also no luck

CodePudding user response：

You can use message.author.dmChannel to get a DMChannel object of the particular user's DMs. Then, you can use .messages.fetch() to fetch all the messages in the channel, .messages.cache.get() to fetch a message based on its ID or .messages.cache.find() to fetch a message based on any property such as its content. An example:

const dmChannel = message.author.dmChannel

const messages = dmChannel.messages.fetch() // This gives you a list of all the message in the channel

const message = dmChannel.messages.cache.get('message-id') // This fetches the message with the particular message id given

const message = dmChannel.messages.cache.find('message-content') // This fetches the message with the particular message content given
