javascript - Discord.js ID support for DM command

Question

I am trying to make a DM command in discord.js that dms a mentioned user. i wanted to allow support so you could either mention a user to dm, or just use their id. this is my code:

      let nodmperm = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("#e31212")
    .setDescription("ERROR: Missing permissions: `MANAGE_MESSAGES`");
  // if (!message.member.hasPermission("MANAGE_MESSAGES"))
  //   return message.channel.send(nodmperm);
  let nospecdm = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("#e31212")
    .setDescription("ERROR: No valid user was specified to DM");
  if (!args[1]) return message.channel.send(nospecdm);
  let dUser =
    message.guild.member(message.mentions.users.first()) ||
    bot.users.cache.get(args[0]);
  let nouserfound = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("#e31212")
    .setDescription(`ERROR: No user found by the name of ${args[1]}`);
  if (!dUser) return message.channel.send(nouserfound);
  let dMessage = args.join(" ").slice(25);
  let nomsgsup = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("#e31212")
    .setDescription("ERROR: No message was supplied");
  if (dMessage.length < 1) return message.channel.send(nomsgsup);
  let dmsoff = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("#e31212")
    .setDescription(
      `ERROR: Unable to DM ${dUser} because they either have DMs off, or they have blocked Outlet`
    );

  let sentsucc = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("#8f82ff")
    .setTitle("Message was successfully sent")
    .addField("Target: ", `${dUser} (ID: ${dUser.id}) (Discriminator: ${message.mentions.users.first().discriminator})`)
    .addField("Message Content: ", dMessage)
    .setFooter(message.createdAt)
    .setTimestamp();
  let userDM = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setTitle("You received a DM")
    .setColor("#8f82ff")
    .addField("Sender: ", `${message.author} (ID: ${message.author.id})`)
    .addField("Server sent from: ", message.guild.name)
    .addField("Server Channel: ", "#" + message.channel.name)
    .addField("Message Content: ", dMessage)
    .addField("Message URL: ", message.url)
    .setFooter(`${message.createdAt}`)
    .setTimestamp();
  dUser
    .send(userDM)
    .then(() => message.channel.send(sentsucc))
    .catch(err => {
      message.channel
        .send(dmsoff)
        .catch(err =>
          console.error(`Error while sending error message...
`, err)
        );
    });

I cant seem to get it to work tho, i cannot get the args to fluctuate properly, im not too sure how i could fix this so you could either mention a user to dm, or use their id
