Discord.JS 消息编辑

Question

I want to edit the message over and over again. So I made variable

this.msgRef = await channel.send({ embeds: [embedMessage] });

If I want to edit I use

this.msgRef.edit(...)

If the bot for some reason disconnects, he will lose msgReference. Because of that, I saved it to DB. How to create a message again because Message (object) in Discord.JS have a private constructor?

Answer 1

If you want to get the message again, you can simply fetch the channel's messages every time you bot connects (on the ready event for example) like so

client.on('ready', () =>{
  const messages = await channel.messages.fetch()
  client.msgRef = messages.find(msg => msg.author.id === client.user.id
    && msg.embeds[0]
   // Etc.. Add as many conditions to make sure you choose the right message
);
})

This way, use client.msgRef.edit(...) whenever you want.
