Discord.js | How to get user's input and make a message for it?

So I'm trying to make a Discord bot with javascript, but I'm trying to make it so it can get the user's input and it has to be a person or like a mention, and make it as a message.

So like if I type !say @Dobie the bot will say @Dobie is a son of a cookie like that, please help me it would be really helpful.

That's pretty simple to achieve. You have to check if there are any mentions within the message (Message.mentions), and if that's the case, you can just send a reply back to the channel.

Here's an example:

client.on('message', (message) => {
 // Making sure that the author of the message is not a bot.
 if (message.author.bot) return false;

 // Checking if the message's content starts with "!say"
 if (message.content.toLowerCase().startsWith('!say')) {
  // Making sure that there is at least one GuildMember mention within the message.
  if (!message.mentions.members.size) return false;

  // Sending the message.
  message.channel.send(
   `${message.mentions.members.first()} is a son of a cookie`
  );
 }
});
