bot is the name for my client. It cannot be used within the ping.js file. Any help is appreciated with this

This is the code I have inside the ping command. I'm tidying my bot up by having individual files for commands instead of them all in one file

const discord = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
    name: 'ping',
    description: 'Ping!',
    execute(message, args) {
        return message.channel.sendEmbed(new discord.RichEmbed()
            .setTitle(":ping_pong: Pong! " + bot.ping.toFixed() + " ms.")
            .setColor(config.favoritehexcolor))
    },
};

you can access the client via message.client (for other events that same principle applies to other discord.js structures), we don't pass the client to the command file scope for this reason.
