How to find the sender id in node-vk-bot-api?

Question

API

Hi all. The other day I dug up this library and decided to write a bot while studying node js

https://github.com/node-vk-bot-api/node-vk-bot-api

Everything seems to be fine, but I don’t know how to find out the message sender ID for further actions with id.

If your bot works on commands, then paste the following code and see the keys and their values. Perhaps there will be keys by type: senderId, user_id, etc.

bot.command('/start', async (ctx) => {
  console.log(ctx)
});

After you find the desired key, use it to get the id:
const user_id = ctx.senderId
Instead of senderId - the found key
