list all words containing an arg

Question

module.exports = {
    name: "words",
    /**
     * @param {Client} client
     * @param {Message} message
     * @param {String[]} args
     */
    run: async (client, message, args) => {
const searchWord = args
      if(!searchWord) return;
const dictionary = require('../../json/dictionary');
      const words = await dictionary.fetch()
    message.channel.send(`.. ${words.filter((msg) => msg.content.has(searchWord))}`)
 }
}


 }
}

I'm trying to get words that contains an arg but the code won't work also, I got an error TypeError: dictionary.fetch is not a function and I guess that's not the only problem. Any way to fix it?

Answer 1

THIS WILL ONLY WORK IF require('your_file') RETURNS A JSON VALUE

If the content of your dictionary is an array, juste declare words like this

const words = JSON.parse(dictionary);
// words = ["word", "word", "another word", "..."]

Else if the content is an Object ("{}"), declare words like that

const words = Object.keys(JSON.parse(dictionary));
// words = ["word", "word", "another word", "..."]

if the word is in the key, it is Object.keys, if it is the value then put Object.values instead.

The JSON.parse method will get the JSON in the file. The Object.keys will only take the Keys of an Object.
