How do I delete all messages in a discord channel with js?

Question

Using discord.py in python, I can do the following and it'll slowly delete all messages in a channel even if they're more than 2 weeks old:

async def clear(self, ctx):

    length = await ctx.message.channel.history(limit=999).flatten()
    num = len(length)
    div = 100
    target = [num // div(1 if x < num % div else 0) for x in range(div)]

    for tar in target:
        async for message in ctx.message.channel.history(limit=tar):
            await ctx.message.channel.delete_messages([message])

How would I go about doing the same thing in javascript discord.js?

Answer 1

This is the common function for it, however bulkDelete does have 2 week limitation and 100 message limit.

async function clearChat (msg, numb) {
    const channel = msg.channel;
    const messageManager = channel.messages;
    const messages = await messageManager.channel.messages.fetch({ limit: numb });
    channel.bulkDelete(messages,true);

}

To call it just:

clearChat(msg, 100);

In your code
