The reason I ask this is because I have a discord bot that responds to commands, but it only works if it is lowercase, so the command "hey bot" returns hello @user but "hey BOT" doesn't work.

    Just use javascript's native toLowerCase method... `"SoMe StRiNg".toLowerCase();` returns `"some string"`... The `/` should be returned as `/`, so there shouldn't be a problem with that. – Shmack Dec 19 '20 at 05:06

In javascript, you can do string.toLowerCase(); function, to convert a string to lower case. For example, in the code below, if you say "hey bot" it works, but if you say "HEY BOT", it will not respond:

client.on('message', message => {
    if(message.content == "hey bot" {
        message.reply("Hey user!");
    }
});

If we want it to ignore case, do the following:

client.on('message', message => {
    if(message.content.toLowerCase() == "hey bot" {
        message.reply("Hey user!");
    }
});

Now that will work whether we type "hey bot", "hey BoT" or "HEY BOT".
