Is there any way to make a mand send a private message to all members of the discord group using discord.js?

Exemple: /private TEST

This message is sent to everyone in the group in private chat instead of channel chat.

• javascript
• discord
• discord.js

• 2 By "group" you mean guild or DM group? Because bots can't join DM groups, unless they're self-bots, but that could get you banned from Discord – Federico Grandi Commented Aug 6, 2018 at 11:32
• 1 By guild example "bot.on('guildMemberAdd', member => { member.send("Olá, bem-vindo ao discord do StealMC."); " prntscr./kfabc0 This code sends this message privately to all who enter the server, I want a mand that sends message by private to all the members of the server the same function as that, the difference would be the mand I could type / test MESSAGE THAT EVERYONE GO RECEIVE and everyone on the server will receive this message in private. Sorry, I'm Brazilian and I'm using the translator. – Renan Rk Commented Aug 6, 2018 at 12:34

You can iterate through Guild.members.
When you receive a message that starts with /private, you take the rest and send it to every member of the guild by using Guild.members.forEach().
Here's a quick example:

client.on('message', msg => {
  if (msg.guild && msg.content.startsWith('/private')) {
    let text = msg.content.slice('/private'.length); // cuts off the /private part
    msg.guild.members.forEach(member => {
      if (member.id != client.user.id && !member.user.bot) member.send(text);
    });
  }
});

This is just a basic implementation, you can obviously use this concept with your mand checks or modify that by adding additional text and so on.

Hope this solves the problem for you, let me know if you have any further questions :)

The updated code for discord.js v12 is just adding cache to the forEach.

client.on('message', msg => {
  if (msg.guild && msg.content.startsWith('/private')) {
    let text = msg.content.slice('/private'.length); // cuts off the /private part
    msg.guild.members.cache.forEach(member => {
      if (member.id != client.user.id && !member.user.bot) member.send(text);
    });
  }
});
