View Source Nostrum.Struct.User (Nostrum v0.9.1)

Struct representing a Discord user.

Mentioning Users in Messages

A Nostrum.Struct.User can be mentioned in message content using the String.Chars protocol or mention/1.

user = %Nostrum.Struct.User{id: 120571255635181568}
Nostrum.Api.create_message!(184046599834435585, "#{user}")
%Nostrum.Struct.Message{content: "<@120571255635181568>"}

user = %Nostrum.Struct.User{id: 89918932789497856}
Nostrum.Api.create_message!(280085880452939778, "#{Nostrum.Struct.User.mention(user)}")
%Nostrum.Struct.Message{content: "<@89918932789497856>"}

User vs. Member

A user contains only general information about that user such as a username and an avatar. A member has everything that a user has, but also additional information on a per guild basis. This includes things like a nickname and a list of roles.
