I wanted to write a command to check if a specific user is part of a ban list in my server. Unfortunately it always does the stuff in the else loop. I hope you can help.
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const ms = require('ms');
const { Permissions } = require("discord.js");
const { MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
//const config = require("./config.json");
module.exports = {
name: 'check',
category: "Moderation",
description: 'Checkt ob ein User gebannt ist',
run: async(client,message,args,guild) => {
let arg = message.content.split(" ")
let banlist = client.channels.cache.get('CHANNELID')
let check = arg[1]
message.delete()
if (!arg[1]) {
return message.channel.send({content :"Please specify a user to check!"}).then((message) => setTimeout(() => message.delete(), 10000)).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
}
banlist.messages.fetch({limit : 30}).then(messages => {
let positive = messages.filter(msgs => msgs.content.includes(check))
if(!positive) {
message.channel.send({content :"This user is not banned!"}).then((message) => setTimeout(() => message.delete(), 10000)).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
}
else {
message.channel.send({content :`This user is banned.`}).then((message) => setTimeout(() => message.delete(), 10000)).catch(err => {
console.error(err);
});
}
})
}
};I know there are methods to check the servers banned user list but not everyone on the list in the channel is banned on discord. So I can't do that. To sum that up. I tried to do a command, which checks a channel for a specific key word and returns differing statements, whether he found that key word or not.
filter() returns an empty array if it finds nothing. You can use:
if(positive.length === 0) {
// ...
}
else {
// ...
}
Since you're looking for a boolean, use Array.some()
const positive = messages.some(msg => msg.content.includes(check));
.filter() is intended for returning a new array
