First things first, we include the module into the project.

const Birthdays = require("discord-birthday-wisher");

After that, you need to provide a valid mongo database url, and set it. You can do so by:

See How to connect to MongoDB Atlas here

Birthdays.connectionURL("mongodb://..."); // You only need to do this ONCE per process.

How it works

setBirthday

2. Then, it creates a MongoDB document in your database that stores the information.
3. After that, it uses node-schedule to schedule a job at the specified birthday date.
4. Lastly, when we get to that date, it sends a message to the specified channel wishing the user a happy birthday.

deleteBirthday

1. First, it runs a check to validated the given parameters.
