discord.js - Imagine a bot•14mo ago

interaction.options.getString returns null

Hi, in the snippet here, all I'm trying to do is get the bot to repeat what the user writes, however all that I'm getting returned is null. Could anyone give a hand as to what my problem is?

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('repeat')
        .setDescription('repeats what you say'),
    async execute(interaction) {
        console.log(interaction.options.getString('said'));
        const said = interaction.options.getString('said');
        console.log(said);
        await interaction.reply(said);
    },
};

const { SlashCommandBuilder } = require('discord.js');

module.exports = {
    data: new SlashCommandBuilder()
        .setName('repeat')
        .setDescription('repeats what you say'),
    async execute(interaction) {
        console.log(interaction.options.getString('said'));
        const said = interaction.options.getString('said');
        console.log(said);
        await interaction.reply(said);
    },
};

Thanks!

You cannot get the option, since there is no option made yet. In your slash command builder, add an option and make it required.
