How to create arguments from a message
I am trying to make a music bot for my discord server, I have it set to play the music, but I can't figure out how to make it play a link that the user inputs
client.on("message", message => {
if (message.content.startsWith("^play")) {
let channel = client.channels.get('496722898858278912');
const ytdl = require('ytdl-core');
const streamOptions = {
seek: 0,
volume: 1
};
const broadcast = client.createVoiceBroadcast();
channel.join()
.then(connection => {
const stream = ytdl(('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAWgeLF9EVQ'), {filter: 'audioonly'});
broadcast.playStream(stream);
const dispatcher = connection.playBroadcast(broadcast);
});
}
});
The link in the code would be replaced with the user submitted link.

To create arguments, you can split the content of the message using ' ' as separator, the arguments are the elements of that array except for the first (that's the command):
// message.content: "^play https://youtube.com/blablabla other arguments"
let args = message.content.split(' '); // ["^play", "https://youtube.com/blablabla", "other", "arguments"]: the string got splitted into different parts
args.shift(); // remove the first element (the command)
// you can do all your stuff, when you need the link you find it in args[0]
const stream = ytdl((args[0]), { filter : 'audioonly' });
Please note that the first argument is not granted to be a valid youtube link, so check it or prepare your code to handle an invalid argument.
