ViewsDiscord.js Randomiser Command Ignoring Minimum and Maximum Values
I have this Discord bot here that contains a randomiser command - /random (built with new SlashCommandBuilder) - and consists of two required string options - min and max values.
This code...
run: async (bot, interaction, args) => {
const min = interaction.options.getString('min').replace(/[^\d.-]/g, '')
const max = interaction.options.getString('max').replace(/[^\d.-]/g, '')
parseFloat(min, parseFloat(max))
random = Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min) + min)
console.log(min, max)
interaction.followUp({ content: `${random}` })
}
...extracts the strings from the user's interaction and parses them into floats. The expected result consists of a random number between the min value and the max value.
However, the randomiser does not use the min or max value and instead prints a random number regardless of what the user inputs.
I predict that is quite an inefficient method of a randomiser command. I kindly suggest assistance, and (if) any will be greatly appreciated!
Note: An error does not occur upon command exection.

You should use interaction.options.getNumber() instead in your command handler; that way it's already a number:
let min = interaction.options.getNumber('min');
let max = interaction.options.getNumber('max');
function randomInt(min, max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * (max - min + 1) + min);
}
await interaction.reply(`Your random number is: ${randomInt(min, max)}`);
Make sure, you add the options with addNumberOption() in your deploy-commands.js file (or whatever you named it:
new SlashCommandBuilder()
.setName('random')
.setDescription('Generates a random number!')
.addNumberOption((option) =>
option
.setName('min')
.setDescription('Enter the minimum number')
.setRequired(true),
)
.addNumberOption((option) =>
option
.setName('max')
.setDescription('Enter the maximum number')
.setRequired(true),
)
