Make a Discord Bot show "Bot is typing..." in Discord Chat (DISCORD.JS)

I am relatively new to making Discord bots and I have seen other bots do this but I want to know how you can make the "bot is typing..." effect at the bottom of the chat screen with Discord.JS .

There is a similar question here on Stack Overflow but that is in Discord.py and I need Discord.JS.

Thank you so much!

Solution

  • You can do this accessing message.channel.startTyping(count?: number)
