In Discord.js, you can customize an embed using arguments (args) by dynamically populating fields, title, description, and other properties based on the values provided as arguments. Here is an example of how you can do this:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('message', message => {
  if (message.content.startsWith('!embed')) {
    const args = message.content.slice('!embed'.length).trim().split(' ');
    
    const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
      .setColor('#0099ff')
      .setTitle(args[0])
      .setDescription(args[1]);
    
    message.channel.send(embed);
  }
});

client.login('your_token_here');


In this example, when a message is sent with the command "!embed", the content of the message is split into args array. The first argument is used as the title of the embed, and the second argument is used as the description.


You can further customize the embed by adding more fields, setting author, thumbnail, image, footer, timestamp, etc. based on the values provided in args array.


Remember to handle edge cases and validate the input arguments to prevent errors.
