I am trying to make a Discord bot with a command called /moderator with a sub-command /moderator add which adds a user’s ID to a moderator database (MongoDB/Mongoose) which is then checked anytime someone wants to run a moderator command.

I am using mongoose for a template schema.

This is my full code:

                if (!ModeratorSchema.find({ user_id: target.id })) {
                    ModeratorSchema.create({
                        username: target.username,
                        user_id: target.id,
                        type: interaction.options.getInteger("type")
                    })

                    interaction.reply({
                        content: `Added `${target} (${target.id})` as a system moderator with permission level ${interaction.options.getInteger("type")}`,
                        ephemeral: true
                    });

                    client.channels.cache.get(log_channel).send({
                        content: ``${target} (${target.id})` was added as a system moderator by `${interaction.user.username} (${interaction.user.id})` with permission level `${interaction.options.getInteger("type")}`.`
                    })
                } else {
                    interaction.reply({
                        content: "User is already a system moderator.",
                        ephemeral: true
                    });
                }

This is a check I was using to see if the schema was working, and after running this, there was no output at all.

 ModeratorSchema.find({ user_id: target.id }), function (err, data) {
     if (data) {
          info("OK");
     } else if (err) {
          info("Error")
          error(err)
     } else {
          info("No data")
     }
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I am trying to check to see if a user is already in the database before adding a new record.

I made it so the code does add moderators (username, user_id, type) to a database, but I can’t seem to get validation checks to work to make sure people don’t add a user id multiple times. I am using mongoose for schemas, and made user_id unique, so while the system won’t add a user document multiple times, the Discord output isn’t working still.
