I'm coding a discord bot and I'm trying to make a kick command right now. I managed to find how to check if there's any mention in the command message with message.mentions.members.first() but I couldn't find anything to check if a specific argument is a mention.
Code I have so far:
module.exports = {
name: "kick",
category: "moderation",
permissions: ["KICK_MEMBERS"],
devOnly: false,
run: async ({client, message, args}) => {
if (args[0]){
if(message.mentions.members.first())
message.reply("yes ping thing")
else message.reply("``" + args[0] + "`` isn't a mention. Please mention someone to kick.")
}
else
message.reply("Please specify who you want to kick: g!kick @user123")
}
}
I looked at the DJS guide but couldn't find how.
MessageMentions has a USERS_PATTERN property that contains the regular expression that matches the user mentions (like <@!813230572179619871>). You can use it with String#match, or RegExp#test() to check if your argument matches the pattern.
Here is an example using String#match:
// make sure to import MessageMentions
const { MessageMentions } = require('discord.js')
module.exports = {
name: 'kick',
category: 'moderation',
permissions: ['KICK_MEMBERS'],
devOnly: false,
run: async ({ client, message, args }) => {
if (!args[0])
return message.reply('Please specify who you want to kick: `g!kick @user123`')
// returns null if args[0] is not a mention, an array otherwise
let isMention = args[0].match(MessageMentions.USERS_PATTERN)
if (!isMention)
return message.reply(`First argument (_\`${args[0]}\`_) needs to be a member: \`g!kick @user123\``)
// kick the member
let member = message.mentions.members.first()
if (!member.kickable)
return message.reply(`You can't kick ${member}`)
try {
await member.kick()
message.reply('yes ping thing')
} catch (err) {
console.log(err)
message.reply('There was an error')
}
}
}
