createTranscript

Will fetch (by default, all) the messages from the provided channel and can return either a Buffer, string, or AttachmentBuilder

Example

JavaScript

const discordTranscripts = require("discord-html-transcripts");

[...]

// Notice the async here    ⤵️
client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
    if (message.content === "!transcript") {
        // Use the following to fetch the transcript.
        const transcript = await discordTranscripts.createTranscript(
            message.channel,
            {
                // options go here
                // for example
                saveImages: true,
                footerText: "Saved {number} message{s}"
            }
        );

        // and by default, createTranscript will return an AttachmentBuilder
        // which you can directly send to discord.js
        message.reply({
            content: "Here's your transcript!",
            files: [transcript]
        });
    }
});
