To send ephemeral messages in Discord.js, you can use the interaction.reply() method with the ephemeral:true option. Here's an example code snippet to send an ephemeral message in a Discord.js bot:

1
2
// Assuming you have the interaction object from a command handler
interaction.reply({ content: 'This is an ephemeral message', ephemeral: true });


By setting the ephemeral option to true, the message will only be visible to the user who triggered the command and will disappear after a short period of time. This can be useful for sending temporary or sensitive information that doesn't need to be permanently stored in the chat.
