Discord.js: How to mention people in a role?

[FedeCuci]

I would like my bot to be able to mention and notify anyone in a role when called... For example if someone calls the role "@role" i would like everyone in that role to be mentioned...

Thanks in advance!

<@&roleID>, but this should probably be added to Role itself

Well then RoleObject.mention() would also work

Hey @abalabahaha

How can you use roles in your code? For example if there is a role called @here how would you notify anyone inside that role?

[mnlkrs]

The actual @here (Discord's implementation of it) would simply be "@here". If you had a role called here you could use its object and call its mention() function. Ex.:

bot.on("message", msg => {
    if(msg.content == "mention") {
        var hereRole = msg.channel.server.roles.get('name', 'here');

        // All of these three produce the same output
        // 1
        bot.sendMessage(msg, hereRole.mention() + " is anyone here?");
        // 2
        bot.sendMessage(msg, hereRole.toString() + " is anyone here?");
        // 3
        bot.sendMessage(msg, hereRole + " is anyone here?");
    }
});

Can I add this in to my bot using a const?
