How to make a variable that can be detected as multiple items

Question

bot.on('message', msg=>{
   if(msg.content.includes(“hi” or? “hello” or? “hey”)){
      msg.reply(“hi” or? “hello” or? “hey”);
   }
})

I’m coding a discord bot on my server and I want to add a feature where it responds to people. I want to make it so that my bot can detect multiple ways a user greets and have it greet them back.

Can you elaborate on `can be detected as multiple items` ? – vizsatiz Jun 03 '20 at 06:30 — vizsatiz, Jun 03 '20 at 06:30
