How do I make my discord bot to send a message on a certain time or date

Question

Let's say I wanted my bot to greet me at my birthday and have my bot greet me in a direct message every single year. How can we achieve it?

Code:

 const { Client, MessageEmbed, Intents } = require('discord.js'); const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] }); const d = new Date(); const minutes = d.getMinutes(); client.once('ready', () => { console.log('beep boop thirdy is online'); } ) client.on('messageCreate', message => { if(message.content === '.dm') client.users,fetch('471298666586570762'. false).then((user) => { user;send("test") }). }) client;login('token');

This can be achieved by an answer in this post, You can use a similar method but you will need to account for a possible leap year every 4 years You also need to update the datestr1 each year after a check and save it in a database

 const datestr1 = "7/13/2015" const datestr2 = "7/13/2016" const date1 = new Date(datestr1); const date2 = new Date(datestr2); const diffTime = Math.abs(date2 - date1); const diffDays = Math.ceil(diffTime / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)); const currdateyear = parseInt(datestr2.substring(datestr2.length - 4)) if (currdateyear % 4 === 0) { if (diffDays === 366) console.log("happy bday") } else if (diffDays === 365) console.log("happy bday")
