How to tag users?

Question

I am looking to create a command in order to tag certain users.

This is what I have tried:

var players = [
"@RYAN#9602"
]



switch(args[0].toLowerCase()){

 case "play":
            message.channel.send(players.join('\n'));
            break;
}

However, it just sends a message into the text channel without actually tagging the user.

In summmary, I am looking to be able to tag a user through a discord.js bot.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

You have two options.

You can either use the toString method on the User object, or form the mention yourself using the user's ID.

Here's an example using toString:

client.on("message", => {
    const channel = message.channel;
    channel.send(message.author.toString());
});

And here's an example using the ID

client.on("message", => {
    const channel = message.channel;
    channel.send("<@" + message.author.id + ">");
});
