discord.js - I need help for a profile command

So, I've created a profile command for my bot but I wanna add an second argument.
The command that I wanna make is "/profile [username to search]" , but I don't now how to do it.

If you can help me, I'll appreciate this.

Here is the code:

if (message.content === '/profile') {
let botembed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle("**__Exoly User Profile__**")
.setTimestamp(new Date())
.setColor("#4286f4")
.setFooter("Exolia", `${bot.user.avatarURL}`)
.setThumbnail(`${message.author.avatarURL}`)
.addField("Username :", `${message.author.username}`, inline = true)
.addField("Exolytes :", "|---|", inline = true)
.addField("Played Time :", "|---|", inline = true)
.addField("Faction :", "Armada", inline = true);
if (shouldResponseTo(message)) {
message.delete()
return message.channel.send(botembed);
}
}

A quick nice way to do what you want,

//Checks if it starts with (/profile)
if(message.content.startsWith(`/profile`)){
//Defines the user that needs to be searched to be either the user pinged OR the user that called the command
let user = message.mentions.users.first(); || message.author;
let embed = new Discord.RichEmbed()
.setTitle(`Profile`);
.setDescription(`Profile of ${user.username}`);
//Note: .send(embed) is allowed but not recommended and it's easier and safer todo .send({embed}) or in your case .send({embed:botembed})
message.channel.send({embed});
}


You could also check what was said AFTER (/profile) by doing:

(/profile)

let args = message.content.split(` `);
if(args[0]===`/profile`){
args.shift();
//args is now all the arguments that was put in after (/profile)

//So a message (/profile @user page 3)
//args would equal ["@user", "page", "3"]

}
