How to check whether a user can be DMed?
See title. The best I can figure out is actually trying to send a DM, but by the point I'm doing that there's nothing I can do if it fails, so it would be nice if there's a better way to check.

npm list discord.js and node node -v version?

- ✅ Marked as resolved by OPThe only way is by sending a dm and catching the rejection
Here's the relevant use case:
1. User runs /remind command.
2. At the specified time user is DMed with the reminder.
I would like to confirm that the bot can DM the user when the command is run, because when it's time to send the reminder I can't do anything if it fails.
but sounds like that requires sending a dm and there's not anything I can do about that
There indeed is no other way of knowing other than sending the dm and catching the rejection
yep. thanks
