I just started coding a Discord bot, and I'm having a problem with coding with Giphy API. I don't know if the entire code is wrong, but anyways I'm confused with it. How do I fix the problem?

The first If-Then statement doesn't give out any errors, but the second one in the code does give out an error.

I'm using Visual Studio Code to code, and Discord.js as the Node.js module.

client.on('message', message =>{
    //console.log(message.content);

    if(message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}`)) {
    message.channel.send("oh yeah it's the prefix of the bot")
    }

    if(message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}gif`)) {
    giphy.trending("gifs", {})
        .then((response) => {
            var totalResponses = response.data.length;
            var responseIndex = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) +1) % totalResponses;
            var responseFinal = response.data[responseIndex]

            message.channel.send("There you go!", {
                files: [responseFinal.images.fixed_height.url]
            })
            file
    })
})

The error:

Declaration or statement expected ts(1128)

• javascript
• node.js
• discord.js
• giphy-api

• Well, surely the error message points you to a line... What do you expect file is doing all by itself? – tehhowch Commented Aug 9, 2019 at 12:34
• Also, you are missing the closing bracket of the if(message.content.startsWith(${prefix}gif)) { – DedaDev Commented Aug 9, 2019 at 17:25
• it's the second end "}" – Raymond Commented Aug 9, 2019 at 18:45

You are missing a closing curly bracket -- this is your exact code, but fixed.

client.on('message', message => {
    //console.log(message.content);

    if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}`)) {
        message.channel.send("oh yeah it's the prefix of the bot")
    }

    if (message.content.startsWith(`${prefix}gif`)) {
        giphy.trending("gifs", {})
            .then((response) => {
                var totalResponses = response.data.length;
                var responseIndex = Math.floor((Math.random() * 10) + 1) % totalResponses;
                var responseFinal = response.data[responseIndex]

                message.channel.send("There you go!", {
                    files: [responseFinal.images.fixed_height.url]
                })
                file
            })
    }
})
