How do I force a user to specify at least one input?

I'm working on a bot, and at the moment the bot errors out if the user does not specify any argument. For reference, this is how my command is structured:

public override registerApplicationCommands(registry: Command.Registry) {
        registry.registerChatInputCommand((builder) =>
            builder
                .setName("about")
                .setDescription(
                    "Find details regarding a user's account on the server list.",
                )
                .addUserOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("by_mention")
                        .setDescription("User to find by mention."),
                )
                .addStringOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("by_uuid")
                        .setDescription("User to find by UUID."),
                )
                .setDMPermission(false)
                .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.KickMembers),
        );
    }

public override registerApplicationCommands(registry: Command.Registry) {
        registry.registerChatInputCommand((builder) =>
            builder
                .setName("about")
                .setDescription(
                    "Find details regarding a user's account on the server list.",
                )
                .addUserOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("by_mention")
                        .setDescription("User to find by mention."),
                )
                .addStringOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("by_uuid")
                        .setDescription("User to find by UUID."),
                )
                .setDMPermission(false)
                .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.KickMembers),
        );
    }

This is how I'm validating whether or not an argument has been specified; but strangely this kicks out an error:

const mention = interaction.options.getUser("by_mention");
        const uuid = interaction.options.getString("by_uuid");

        if (!mention && !uuid)
            return interaction.reply({
                embeds: [
                    embedBuilder(
                        this.container.client,
                        "You must either specify a user mention, or a UUID to find the user by.",
                    ),
                ],
                ephemeral: true,
            });

const mention = interaction.options.getUser("by_mention");
        const uuid = interaction.options.getString("by_uuid");

        if (!mention && !uuid)
            return interaction.reply({
                embeds: [
                    embedBuilder(
                        this.container.client,
                        "You must either specify a user mention, or a UUID to find the user by.",
                    ),
                ],
                ephemeral: true,
            });

How do I fix this?

Help with slash commands

Hello, I'm trying to work on a project that involves doing some type of user lookup in a database. My current code looks like this:

public override registerApplicationCommands(registry: Command.Registry) {
        registry.registerChatInputCommand((builder) =>
            builder
                .setName("find")
                .setDescription("Find a user on the server list.")
                .addStringOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("user")
                        .setDescription("User to find.")
                        .setRequired(true),
                )
                .setDMPermission(false)
                .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.KickMembers),
        );
    }

public override registerApplicationCommands(registry: Command.Registry) {
        registry.registerChatInputCommand((builder) =>
            builder
                .setName("find")
                .setDescription("Find a user on the server list.")
                .addStringOption((option) =>
                    option
                        .setName("user")
                        .setDescription("User to find.")
                        .setRequired(true),
                )
                .setDMPermission(false)
                .setDefaultMemberPermissions(PermissionFlagsBits.KickMembers),
        );
    }

Ideally, I want the user to be able to provide either a user @mention, or a user ID, or even a username. What would be the best way to approach this?
