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?
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)
})
