Discord.js getting data from a json file based on an var

This may be a stupid question but i'm trying to get data from a json file based on a variable but it just keeps returning undefined even if it already exists

const { e } = require('../../emojis.json')
var skin = "yellow";
let skin2 = client.emojis.cache.get(e.skin)

the json file (e) has the data stored like this

{
    "e": {
    "red": "808107222043328546",
    "blue": "821697709609320448",
    "green": "821698356526841856",
    "pink": "821700492244942888",
    "orange": "821700998799163392",
    "yellow": "821701148628353034",
    "black": "821701297274617856",
    "white": "821701424047849502",
    "purple": "821701518351663124",
    "brown": "821701610077552670",
    "cyan": "821701791354847232",
    "lime": "821701882011582464"
    }
}

its supposed to get the "yellow" id from the json file but doesn't work at all i don't want to use

client.emojis.cache.get(e.yellow)

because i would use the skin var to get a random color

When using .skin, you tell JavaScript to return property skin of the object. If you want to have the property that is in skin, you have to use indexing:

let skin2 = client.emojis.cache.get(e[skin]);

This will give you the value of the property stored in skin.
