Discord.JS Announce Command Issue - module

Question

I'm trying to build an announce command for my bot using a rich embed.
Here is my announce.js file:
const Discord = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
name: 'announce',
description: 'Send an announcement.',
guildOnly: true,
execute(message, args) {
console.log("embedding")
const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle("Announcement")
.setDescription("A Staff member has sent an announcement")
.setColor(0x00AE86)
.setFooter("Guardian", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian/src/avatar.png")
.setThumbnail("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian/src/avatar.png")
.setTimestamp()
.setURL("https://github.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/tree/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian")
.addBlankField(true)
.addField("Announcement", "message contents here", false))
message.channel.send({ embed });
}
};
I rebuilt it since the post it and took me a while to get back to this post. I'm trying to rebuild all of my messages from my bot into rich embeds. Thus the different code. I've also simplified my fs command and events handler.
indexjs
const fs = require('fs');
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
const { token } = require('./token.json');
client.commands = new Discord.Collection();
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync('./commands').filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);
client.commands.set(command.name, command);
console.log(file,command)
}
fs.readdir('./events/', (err, files) => {
if (err) return console.error(err);
files.forEach(file => {
if(!file.endsWith('.js')) return;
const eventFunction = require(`./events/${file}`);
console.log(eventFunction)
eventFunction.execute(client)
});
});
client.login(token);
message.js
const { prefix } = require('./prefix.json');
module.exports = {
name: 'message',
description: 'client message event.',
execute:function(client) {
client.on('message',message => {
if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;
const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();
if (!client.commands.has(command)) return;
try {
client.commands.get(command).execute(message, args);
} catch (error) {
console.error(error);
message.reply('there was an error trying to execute that command!');
}
})
}};
Basically I need to know what to put for "message contents here" to make it post the message typed into the #announcements channel.
My question is how to I make it place the announcement message into the .addField section of the richEmbed?
Would it be something along the lines of this?
const Discord = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
name: 'announce',
description: 'Send an announcement to the specified channel.',
guildOnly: true,
execute(message, args) {
console.log("embedding")
enter code here
if(args.length < 2) return /* error message */;
let channel = message.mentions.channels.first();
if(!channel) return ;
let announcement = args.slice(1).join(" ");
const embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle("Notice!")
.setDescription("Announcememnt from PhantomDEV Staff!")
.setColor(0x00AE86)
.setFooter("Guardian", "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian/src/avatar.png")
.setThumbnail("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian/src/avatar.png")
.setTimestamp()
.setURL("https://github.com/phantomdev-github/Resources/tree/master/Discord%20Bots/Guardian")
.addBlankField(true)
.addField("Message", "", false);
message.channel.send({ embed });
.catch(console.error);
};

At the end of your message event, use this line to call the execution of the command...
command.execute(message, args);
Define your execute function to use the args parameter that you need. Also, Collection.first() is the method you're looking for when declaring channel. Your function should look like so...
execute: function(message, args) {
if (args.length < 2) return /* error message */;
// Careful using this; if just an announcement is provided
// and it mentions a channel, that channel will be used.
let channel = message.mentions.channels.first();
if (!channel) return /* error message */;
let announcement = args.slice(1).join(" ");
channel.send(announcement)
.catch(console.error);
}
There's no need to check that the command is "announce" in the execution function, because it'll only be called if it is.
