User Documentation
==================
The User Class is used to represent data about users.
Attributes
----------
username
~~~~~~~~
A `String` that is the username of the user.
discriminator
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Used to differentiate users with the same username, provided by Discord. If you want to differentiate users, we'd recommend using the `id` attribute.
id
~~
A `String` UUID of the user, will never change.
avatar
~~~~~~
A `String` that is the user's avatar's ID, or if they don't have one this is `null`.
avatarURL
~~~~~~~~~
A `String` that points to the user's avatar's URL, or if they don't have an avatar this is `null`.
status
~~~~~~
The status of the user as a `String`; offline/online/idle.
-----
Functions
---------
mention()
~~~~~~~~~
Returns a `String`. This function will generate the mention string for the user, which when sent will preview as a mention. E.g:
.. code-block:: js
user.mention(); // something like <@3245982345035>
This is mainly used internally by the API to correct mentions when sending messages, however you can use it.
.. note:: You can also just concatenate a User object with strings to get the mention code, as the `toString()` method points to this. This is useful when sending messages.
equals(object)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Returns a `Boolean` depending on whether the User's ID (``user.id``) equals the object's ID (``object.id``). You should **always**, always use this if you want to compare users. **NEVER** do ``user1 == user2``.
equalsStrict(object)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sees if the supplied object has the same username, ID, avatar and discriminator of the user. Mainly used internally. Returns a `Boolean` depending on the result.
