Question relating to DMs
When users disable permissions for server members to DM them, when a bot tries to DM them, it produces an error. I can use a catch to prevent it from crashing, but is there any way to find out whether a user has server member DMs enabled, as I would like to notify the person sending the command that setting is disabled.

• What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
• Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part!
• Show your code!
• Explain what exactly your issue is.
• Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.Unknown User•2y ago

DiscordAPIError: Cannot send messages to this user
Your bot is trying to send a DM to a user, but failed to do so:
• The user has DMs disabled or the bot blocked
• The user no longer shares a guild with the bot (make sure to send informational DMs before banning/kicking)
• The bot is trying to DM itself or another bot
Note: You cannot check if you can send a DM beforehand but have to handle the rejection casealright
