we will be storing channel id by using quick.db, if you have any thoughts like why i am not using mongo and other things then i must say i just like quick.db because it is simple to use.
i will be using my command handler and if you do not know how to create command handler than you should check this post – COMMAND HANDLER
First of all we will be creating setwelcome command which will be setting welcome channel id in server variable
const Discord = require("discord.js")
const db = require("quick.db")
module.exports = {
name: "setwelcome",
category: "moderation",
usage: "setwelcome <#channel>",
description: "Set the welcome channel",
run: (client, message, args) => {
let channel = message.mentions.channels.first() //mentioned channel
if(!channel) { //if channel is not mentioned
return message.channel.send("Please Mention the channel first")
}
//Now we gonna use quick.db
db.set(`welchannel_${message.guild.id}`, channel.id) //set id in var
message.channel.send(`Welcome Channel is seted as ${channel}`) //send success message
}
}Now we will head to main file, in my case my main file name is server.js and i will be using guildMemberAdd event, when member joins it will triggered in seted channel.
const db = require("quick.db") //using quick.db package
client.on("guildMemberAdd", (member) => { //usage of welcome event
let chx = db.get(`welchannel_${member.guild.id}`); //defining var
if(chx === null) { //check if var have value or not
return;
}
let wembed = new discord.MessageEmbed() //define embed
.setAuthor(member.user.username, member.user.avatarURL())
.setColor("#ff2050")
.setThumbnail(member.user.avatarURL())
.setDescription(`We are very happy to have you in our server`);
client.channels.cache.get(chx).send(wembed) //get channel and send embed
})
Resulting Code
