How to send message to specific discord's channel from your server application?

Had you wonder how to send the log / messages from the server application to discord channel? In my personal poject I use NodeJs for the server side, each of the important details from the server will be sent to my discord's channel. For instance, each time my user made a payment or register for my app. I am about to demonstrate how exactly I did it.

I use the ES6 dicipline for my application.

Packages I will be using are axios, and nodemon.

1. Initiate a project by npm init -y.
2. get the webhok url by going to your channel's settings -> integration -> create webhook.
3. start coding.

In this case I will use the method of HTTP POST request to the webhook.
As in bash you can simply do :

#!/bin/sh
url = "thewebhookurl"

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"content":"'"YOUR WHAT EVER MESSAGE "'"}' $url

but in nodejs,

 log(msg) {
        let webhook_url = 'thewebhoooklink';

        let params = {
            username: 'ABC',
            content: msg,
        };

        return axios({
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'Content-Type': 'application/json',
            },
            data: JSON.stringify(params),
            url: webhook_url,
        });
    }

and it should work but calling the function log('something something');

or YOu can user my package here https://www.npmjs.com/package/discord-logger-js

HAPPY CODING!
