How to check for user perms (DISCORDIA)

Question

The title speaks for itself, please help, pretty please.

Do you want to use any discord library? Or do you just want to know how to do it via raw Discord API? — mozkomor05, Jul 05 '20 at 17:16
`message` has `member` property. See here: https://github.com/SinisterRectus/Discordia/wiki/Message — mozkomor05, Jul 05 '20 at 17:21
@DavidMoškoř yes i know that, i am using it to allow commands in dms. now that you edited it i can say that i definitely know it — exdii, Jul 05 '20 at 17:22
Ok. If you read the documentation you can see, that the `member` class has an `hasPermission` function. https://github.com/SinisterRectus/Discordia/wiki/Member — mozkomor05, Jul 05 '20 at 17:24
@DavidMoškoř thanks! although, how does it work? like this maybe member:hasPermission(BAN_USERS) ? — exdii, Jul 05 '20 at 17:27

The member class contains hasPermission function. So the code to check if message author has permission would look like this:

if message.member:hasPermission(banMembers) then
    -- do action
end

it gives off an error `Uncaught Error: D:/Bot/deps/coro-channel.lua:62: D:/Bot/deps/discordia/libs/utils/Emitter.lua:105: Invalid permission: nil` – exdii Jul 05 '20 at 18:00
I see. The documentation say that the first parameter is optional so i passed `nil`. But it seems like documentation is outdated. Simply remove the first parameter. I'll update my answer. – mozkomor05 Jul 05 '20 at 18:01
