To send a message to a user you first need a User instance representing the user you want to send the message to.

Obtaining a User instance

• You can obtain a User instance from a message the user sent by doing message.autor
• You can obtain a User instance from a user id with client.fetchUser

Once you got a user instance you can send the message with .send

Examples

client.on('message', (msg) => {
 if (!msg.author.bot) msg.author.send('ok ' + msg.author.id);
});

client.fetchUser('487904509670337509', false).then((user) => {
 user.send('heloo');
});
