How can I dm a user only with the ID?

Question

if (message.content.includes('!test')) {

        var mention = message.mentions.users.first().id;

        console.log(mention);
        message.mention.send('test')
}

I tried this code and if I type in the chat !test it console logs the ID. Now my question is how I send a DM to the ID. Thanks for helping

Answer 1

Try this:

client.fetchUser('id number here').then((user) => {
user.send("Message");
});

This is for existing version v11, for more information related to classes on discord.js, you can find it here at this link

This is to coders who wanna jump into v12 you can start here

Answer 2

let user = client.users.cache.get(mention);
user.send('Test DM');
