Creating a Discord Bot: Automatically Deleting Embed Messages

If you're developing a Discord bot, you'll eventually run into the need for sending temporary messages. One common scenario is sending an embed message that should disappear after a set period. In this post, we'll walk through how to create a Discord bot that sends an embed message and deletes it automatically after 10 seconds using Discord.js.

What is Discord.js?

Discord.js is a powerful JavaScript library that allows developers to interact with the Discord API. It provides a comprehensive set of tools for building feature-rich Discord bots. Whether you want to send messages, manage users, or create rich interactive applications, Discord.js has you covered.

The Problem: Deleting Embed Messages

As mentioned in the question, the goal is to send an embed message and automatically delete it after a delay (10 seconds).

To accomplish this, you will make use of the setTimeout function, which allows you to execute a piece of code after a certain period of time.

Step-by-Step Solution

1. Create Your Embed Message

First, you need to create the embed message that you want to send. Here’s an example:

2. Explanation of the Code

Creating the Embed

You create an embed using new Discord.MessageEmbed(), allowing you to customize the appearance of the message with titles, fields, footers, and more.

Sending the Embed

When you send the embed with message.channel.send(horarios), it returns a promise with the message sent. By chaining .then(sentMsg => {...}), you gain access to the message that has been sent.

Setting the Timeout

Inside the .then() block, you can use the setTimeout function:

This line means, "after 10,000 milliseconds (10 seconds), delete the message sentMsg."

Deleting the Original Message

Finally, if needed, you can delete the original message that initiated the command with message.delete(). It helps in maintaining a clean chat by removing the command that triggered your bot.

Conclusion

Now you have a complete guide to send embed messages in Discord.js and have them automatically deleted after 10 seconds. Implementing this functionality can make interactions cleaner for your users and prevent clutter in your channels.

Feel free to enhance the embed with additional fields or formatting as per your requirements, and enjoy your journey of building creative Discord bots!
