Get user's guild nickname

I have a discord bot that gets the nicknames of people, but nicknames do not seem to be exposed to me. The username is accessible however, the nickname is not:

client.on('interactionCreate', async interaction => {
var username = interaction.user.username; //accessible

I have also tried: interaction.member.displayName and looked at options under interaction.user however been unable to find something that allows me to get nicknames!

Solution

  • If you look at the documentation you can see that to get a nickname you just need interaction.member.nickname

    Note:

    • Member may be null, for example if the interaction was not done in a guild, but in a private messages (DM)
    • .nickname can be undefined as the member may not have one
