How to use syntax highlighting for code Blocks for Bot in discord.js (v13)?
I am trying to make a terminal accessible in the discord using the bot. The code for this command is :
const { Client, Message, MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const child = require("child_process");
module.exports = {
name: "terminal",
/**
* @param {Client} client
* @param {Message} message
* @param {String[]} args
*/
run: async (client, message, args) => {
if (message.author.id !== "") return;
const command = args.join(" ");
const errorCommand = new MessageEmbed();
errorCommand
.setColor("RED")
.setDescription("Please specify a command to execute");
if (!command) return message.reply({ embeds: [errorCommand] });
child.exec(command, (err, res) => {
if (err) return console.log(err);
message.channel.send(` \`\`\`${res.slice(0, 2000)}\`\`\` `, {
code: "js",
});
});
},
};
When i run the command the syntax highlighting isn't displayed in the code Block. I have attached a picture of what i meant.

Solution 1:
I found the answer. Sorry for the inconvenient post, In case someone needs the answer, it is :
const { Client, Message, MessageEmbed } = require("discord.js");
const child = require("child_process");
module.exports = {
name: "terminal",
/**
* @param {Client} client
* @param {Message} message
* @param {String[]} args
*/
run: async (client, message, args) => {
if (message.author.id !== "") return;
const command = args.join(" ");
const errorCommand = new MessageEmbed();
errorCommand
.setColor("RED")
.setDescription("Please specify a command to execute");
if (!command) return message.reply({ embeds: [errorCommand] });
child.exec(command, (err, res) => {
if (err) return console.log(err);
const jsString = "const value = true;";
message.channel.send(` \`\`\`js\n${res.slice(0, 2000)}\`\`\` `);
});
},
};
If u want to use another language syntax highlighting u can just replace js
of here message.channel.send(` \`\`\`js\n${res.slice(0, 2000)}\`\`\` `);
with your preference.
