How to access the User object?

Question

I'm using discord.js for my bot, and I want to use the User object to get the ID from that. However, the docs aren't very specific on how to use that. How do you get an object for a specific user?

On a side note, I'm also new to node.js, so maybe there's just some giant similarity in node.js stuff that I'm not familliar with.

My code:

 const Discord = require("discord.js"); const client = new Discord.Client(); var kingdoms = []; var ids = []; const Kingdom = function(name, id){ this.name = name; this.aa = 1; this.da = 1; this.attackDate = 0; this.exhausaa = 0; ids.push(id); }; client.on('ready', () => { console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`); client.user.setGame("k^help"); }); client.on('message', msg => { console.log(msg); console.log(msg.content.trim().indexOf('k^addkingdom')); if (msg.content.trim() == 'k^help') { msg.channel.send({embed: { description: 'Note: All things in brackets must be replaced and are parameters.', fields: [{ name: "k^help", value: "Displays this message." }, { name: "k^addkingdom [name]", value: "Adds a kingdom to the database named [name]. One per person only." }] } }); } if (msg.content.trim().indexOf('k^addkingdom ') == 0) { //if(ids.contains(msg.GuildMember.id)){ // msg.reply("You already have a kingdom!"); //} var content = msg.content; content = content.replace('k^addkingdom ', ''); content.trim(); msg.reply("Kingdom " + content + " added!"); kingdoms.push(new Kingdom(content/*, msg.GuildMember.id*/)); } }); client.login('Hidden for privacy'); 

Answer 1

Well if you are responding to a message, then you can get the user object by msg.author . And the user id by msg.author.id . However if what you search is to get the user object from it's id, like when you have that saved in a database. Then you do it by that client.users.get(id); , where client is the discord client object. Example if you want to send a message to a user in PM (private mode), then you do it this way

let user = client.users.get(id);
user.send("You need to wake up my friend!");

Another example responding to a message:

client.on('message', (msg) => {
   if(msg.content === '!test') {
       let userId = msg.author.id;
       msg.author.send('hello i\'m here ! Your user Id is ' + userId);
       // let user = msg.author; user.send(...
   }
});

Another example when sending a message to a new server member at it's first arriving:

client.on("serverNewMember", (server, user) => {
     user.send("Welcome to: " + server.name);
});

Same example but using sendMessage (a bonus ^ ^):

client.on("serverNewMember", (server, user) => {
     client.sendMessage(user, "Welcome to: " + server.name);
});

Answer 2

To get a specific user on a bot account, use client.fetchUser(id) . This will return a Discord user object. Otherwise (as on selfbots), and on a channel, use channel object.member( userResolvable ).

我对不和谐不熟悉，但是如果您有用户对象，请阅读链接的api以获取用户的ID即可

user.id
