Get username of someone who sent a command (javascript)

For me in my code I just hit payload.user or grab the display-name from payload.tags

BarryCarlyon/twitch_misc/blob/master/chat/chat.js#L180


                    //}
            }
        }
    } while (m);
}

// 2 host
let host = hostRegex.exec(data[2]);
payload.user = false;
if (host != null) {
    payload.user = host[1];
}

// 3 command
payload.command = data[3];

// 4 room
payload.room = data[4];
// 5 message
payload.message = data[5];
payload.action = false;

So to get the username or display name will depend on your code or if you are using a library refer to the library documentation
