Discord.js Trying to send embed, but just sends empty message

I'm trying to send my channel an embed message, so when I type

**embed


in my channel it should return the embed message like

testbot Title
Description


But it just returns an empty message from my testbot (the bot name). I tried using

message.channel.send(embedd, embed);

instead, but it gives me an error saying embed isn't declared. .send(content, options) is the format and embed is the option.

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const bot = new Discord.Client();
const TOKEN = "MY_TOKEN_ID";
const PREFIX = "**";

var name;
var usrAuth = 0;

bot.on("ready", function()

console.log("Ready");
);

bot.on("message", function(message)

console.log(message.content);

if ( message.author.equals(bot.user))
return;

// If the message doesn't begin with ** (Our prefix); do nothing
if( !message.content.startsWith(PREFIX))
return;

var argv = message.content.substr(PREFIX.length).split(" ");
console.log("argv: "+argv+", argv[1]: "+argv[1]+"");

// "+VAR_NAME+" Allows you to print a variable
switch(argv[0].toLowerCase())
case "ping":
message.channel.send("Ping!");
break;
case "embed":
var embedd = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.addField("Title", "Description")
message.channel.sendEmbed(embedd);
// .catch(console.error);
break;
default:
message.channel.send("Invalid commands");


);

bot.login(TOKEN);


My code is above, any ideas what's wrong? Changing var to const also does nothing.

Rename the variable to embed and use this format

embed

case "embed":
var embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.addField("Title", "Description")
message.channel.send(embed);
// .catch(console.error);
break;


**embed

This should work

case "embed":
var embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle(`Title`)
.setDescription(`Desc`)
.addField("Title", "Description")
message.channel.sendEmbed(embed);
// .catch(console.error);
break;


Use this format:

message.channel.send( embed: embedd )


The method of sending using sendEmbed is now deprecated. For embeds using the send event, you need to specify it is an embed using send( embed: variable ) otherwise it will return an empty message which will (in future) make the bot exit.

sendEmbed

send( embed: variable )

let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setColor(0x00AE86)
.addField("Title", "Description")
.setTimestamp()
if(!args[0]) return message.channel.send(embed);


This what I have used to make all the embed on my bot.
