To make a database of admins in discord.js, you can use a database management system like MongoDB or SQLite. Here is a general outline of how you can create and manage a database of admins in discord.js:

  1. Install and set up a database management system like MongoDB or SQLite in your discord.js project.
  2. Create a schema or table to store information about admins. Include columns/fields for admin ID, Discord username, and any other relevant information.


For example, in MongoDB, you can create a collection called 'admins' and define a schema like this:

 1

const mongoose = require('mongoose');

const adminSchema = new mongoose.Schema({
  adminId: { type: String, required: true },
  username: { type: String, required: true },
});

const Admin = mongoose.model('Admin', adminSchema);

module.exports = Admin;


  1. In your discord.js bot, you can add commands to manage the database of admins. For example, you can create commands for adding, removing, and listing admins.

// Example command to add an admin to the database
bot.on('message', async message => {
  if (message.content.startsWith('!addadmin')) {
    const adminId = message.author.id;
    const username = message.author.username;

    const newAdmin = new Admin({
      adminId,
      username,
    });

    await newAdmin.save();

    message.channel.send('Admin added successfully!');
  }
});


  1. Implement access control in your bot based on the database of admins. Only allow certain commands to be executed by users who are listed as admins in the database.

// Example command that can only be executed by admins
bot.on('message', message => {
  if (message.content.startsWith('!kick')) {
    if (isAdmin(message.author.id)) {
      // Code to kick a user
      message.channel.send('User kicked successfully!');
    } else {
      message.channel.send('You do not have permission to use this command.');
    }
  }
});

function isAdmin(adminId) {
  // Check if the adminId is in the database of admins
  // Implement logic to query the database and return true or false
}


By following these steps, you can create and manage a database of admins in discord.js and implement access control in your bot based on this database.
