How to check which message is sent and return reply accordingly?

I'm building a discord bot and I want the bot to reply based on what input I give. My JSON file looks like this.

const greetings = [
    {
        id: 1,
        received: [
            "Hi",
            "Hi there",
            "Hello",
            "Hey",
            "Hey there"
        ],
        reply: "Hi there"
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        recived: [
            "Wassup",
            "Sup"
        ],
        reply: "Nothing much. Wassup",
    },
    {
        id: 3,
        received: [
            "How are you doing",
            "How are you doing?",
            "How have you been doing",
            "How have you been doing?",
        ],
        reply: "I'm good. And I hope you're doing well too",
    },
];

When I send a message like Hi or Hello there, I want it to respond with Hi there. And when I send a message like How are you doing, it should reply with I'm good. And I hope you're doing well too.

How do I check which message is sent and return the appropriate reply?

You can use Array.find to find an array item with its value and Array.some to check if it exists.

The code would be:

if (greetings.some(x => x.received.includes(message.content))) {
  message.channel.send(greetings.find(x => x.received.includes(message.content)).reply);
})
