Issues with discord bot command not being executed

Question

I'm working on a command for a discord bot that is executed via .char however, based on the text followed after .char, I need the bot to respond with different embed texts. e.g. .char alice -> response 1 .char alice 2 -> response 2. in order to achieve this I have my responses in if statements. like this:

const Discord = require('discord.js');

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {

    console.dir(args);
    if(args === 'alice breaker') { 

            const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
            .setTitle('**Alice Breaker**')
            .setDescription("**Character:** Alice | **Job:** Breaker")

            )
            message.channel.send(embed);
    }

        
} 

module.exports.config = {
    name: "char",
    description: "character description",
    usage: "char",
    accessableby: "Members",
    aliases: []
}

now I assume that if I'd type .char alice breaker I would get the embed text defined in args === alice breaker and so forth. however typing the comand on discord does nothing. if I look bag into the terminal this is what I get I assume that this means that the definition followed after .char was recognized, yet no response is sent by the bot. does anyone have an Idea?

Answer 1

Check args as "array" like so,

if (args[0] === 'alice' && args[1] === 'breaker') {
...
}

seems for your secenario, it is better to check args[0] then later args[1] in different lines... But this is solution for this problem, "checking array as string".

Also, as you can see

console.dir(args);

line prints

['alice', 'breaker']

so args are array as you can see too.
