Getting userID's through their username. Discord.JS

     client.on("message", async message =>{
      message.guild.members.fetch({query: "username here", limit: 1})
       .then( members => console.log(members.user.id)) //results in undefined
       .catch(console.error);
      }

I would like to be able to get a users ID through their username. In this case I use the "fetch()" method and a query within it. However when i try to log (members.user.id) I get "undefined". The thing is whenever i fetch by a user ID(see code below) I am able to access the users ID,username, etc.. How would I able to fetch by their username and then be able to get a users ID. I was using this as a reference point https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/master/class/GuildMemberManager?scrollTo=fetch

If theirs an easier way to get a users ID by their username please do tell. 

     client.on("message", async message =>{
       message.guild.members.fetch("userID here")
       .then( members => console.log(members.user.username))// a username is logged
       .catch(console.error);
             }

Looks like even if the limit is 1 it will still give back a collection, so you will need to get the first member of that collection

message.guild.members.fetch({query: "username here", limit: 1})
   .then(members => {
      const member = members.first();
      //no need to convert it into a user 
      console.log(member.id);
   });
