javascript - How to create an embed for statistical information provided by my Discord bot (Covid Statistics)

Question

I've created a Discord bot that will give me Covid statistics on any country on command, however it's only displayed to me in raw text, I've seen images of embeds like this:

I'm interested to have my data displayed like this in my bots reply, this is the code I am using for it:

const axios = require('axios');
const countries = require("./countries.json");
const url = 'https://api.covid19api.com/total/country/';
const WAKE_COMMAND = 'cases';

client.on('message', async (msg) => {
  const content = msg.content.split(/[ ,]+/);
  if(content[0] === WAKE_COMMAND){
    if(content.length > 2){
      msg.reply("Too many arguments...")
    }
    else if(content.length === 1){
      msg.reply("Not enough arguments")
    }
    else if(!countries[content[1]]){
      msg.reply("Wrong country format")
    }
    else{
      const slug = content[1]
      const payload = await axios.get(`${url}${slug}`)
      const covidData = payload.data.pop();
      msg.reply(`Confirmed: ${covidData.Confirmed}, Deaths: ${covidData.Deaths}, Recovered: ${covidData.Recovered}, Active: ${covidData.Active} `)
    }
  }
});

Any help on how I should rearrange my code to look more like the embed above would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

You can do this using the MessageEmbed class.

Here an example of it being used:

const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("#0099ff")
    .setTitle("A title")
    .setDescription("A description")
    .setTimestamp()
message.channel.send(embed);

// You can also use the code below, in your case
msg.reply(embed);

You can find more examples of this here

If you want to create something like ProDyno has, you'll want to use the .addLine method on the MessageEmbed class, this will allow you to toggle things like inline to be true so you can put stats next to each other. For example:

.addFields(
    { name: 'Inline title', value: 'Inline text', inline: true },
    { name: 'Inline title', value: 'Inline text', inline: true },
)
