module - How do I make an embedded argument?

Question

whenever i type $effect [pokemon type], I want to be able to see the embeds I made for that specific pokemon. For example, $effect fire would show the effects of the fire with the embed message. Do I do args and then put the args = command so the arguments would be written as the pokemon type rather than args[0]? If so, how would I make the embeds appear? Because module.exports is not working whatsoever. Please be specific with your answers more than usual! I have a hard time understanding these things such as placement and commands as I'm new. Any point to the right direction is appreciated though! Here's the code and where they're set!:

bot > index.js

const Discord = require("discord.js");

const fs = require("fs");

// Change the prefix
const prefix = "$";
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.commands = new Discord.Collection();

const commandFiles = fs
  .readdirSync("./features/")
  .filter((file) => file.endsWith(".js"));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
  const command = require(`./features/${file}`);

  client.commands.set(command.name, command);
}

client.once("ready", () => {
  console.log("This bot is online!");
});

client.on("message", (message) => {
  if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) {
    return;
  }

  // Destructure the first word from message.content, leave the rest as an array
  const [commandName, ...args] = message.content
    .slice(prefix.length)
    .split(/ +/);

  // Attempt to get command by name from the Collection
  const command = client.commands.get(commandName.toLowerCase());

  if (!command) {
    return; // do something
  }

  command.execute(message, args);
});

client.login('token');

Answer 1

module.exports is working but you understood it wrong. It is there to use specific functions etc., or in your case Embeds, everywhere you need it. So you just have to update your effectcmds.js into:

const effect = require("./effembeds.js"); // Change the file import based on where it is located

module.exports = {

  name: "effect",

  description: "information on effects from pokke!",

  execute(message, args) {
//POKEMON TYPE -- FAIRY
    if(args[0] === 'fairy'){
      message.channel.send(effect.fairyEmbed);
      }

   //Edit that for every embed!

args is an array that stores your input after your prefix. So args[0] is the first input after your prefix. This is okay for this case, because every effect is only one word.

You can send the embed simply using the variable, where you stored the location of the embed file. As you can see in my example it is effect.fairyEmbed for the input fairy.
