Discord.js: How can you check if a specific user has a role?

I'm looking to see if you can check if you can test for a specific user having a role. Only problem is that I'm fairly new to Discord.js and everything I searched up was either outdated, was something I couldn't fully understand or only showed how to test if the author of the message has the role, which is not what I'm trying to find out. What should I change in my current coding?

if (message.member.permissions.has("MANAGE_ROLES")) {

            const member = message.mentions.users.first();
            const memberTarget = message.guild.members.cache.get(member.id);
            const role = message.guild.roles.cache.find(role => role.name === "Awesome Role Name");

            if (memberTarget.roles.cache.has(role)) {
                message.channel.send(`${memberTarget} has the role!`);

            } else {
                message.channel.send(`${memberTarget} does not have the role!`);
            }
        }
    }
};

To check for a role you can do the code:

if (member.roles.cache.has("ROLE_ID"))

If you wanted to check if the sender has the role you could do:

if (message.member.roles.cache.has("ROLE_ID")) {
    console.log(true);
} else {
    console.log(false);
}

If you wanted to check if someone else has a role you could do:

if (memberTarget.roles.cache.has("ROLE_ID")) {
    console.log(true);
} else {
    console.log(false);
}

To get a member you could do it in many different ways, one method would be to get them by mentions:

// This will get the first mention who is a member in the server
const memberTarget = message.mentions.members.first()

All you have to do is check if the GuildMember.roles.cache has the role. Also, the reason your code isn’t working is because you are using the role object. You need to use the role ID.

if (memberTarget.roles.cache.has(role.id))

Getting role by any property

if (memberTarget.roles.cache.some(r => r.name === 'role-name'))
//does not need to be the name

if (message.member.roles.cache.has(role.id))
