I started coding personal bot. I'm getting an error
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'FLAGS')
I'm assuming it can't access FLAGS. I don't understand why because I have installed the latest node and discord.js. I allowed all premission for 'Privileged Gateway Intents' for my Bot on my personal account on Discord Developer Portal. I followed this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc9uPgGmQ7I
This is my code so far:
require("dotenv").config();
const { Client, Intents } = require("discord.js")
const client = new Client({
intents: [
Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES
]
});
client.on("ready", () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
client.on("interactionCreate", async interaction => {
if (!interaction.isCommand()) return;
if (interaction.commandName === "ping") {
await interaction.reply("Pong!");
}
});
client.login(process.env.SPELL_BOT_TOKEN)
It means you are using Discord.js v11 or older, where intents weren't there so to update it to v12 or newer you can:
Reinstall the module with npm uninstall discord.js and npm install discord.js.
Update it to the latest version with npm install discord.js#dev or a specific one with npm install discord.js#13.3.1.
Edit the version of the module in your package.json file.
the first mistake I see is that you have to pass object to Client class, you did new Client(intents: [...]}). should be like new Client({ intents: [...] })

So I want to create a bot discord for fun in JavaScript using discord.js.
I wrote this code:
const Discord = require("discord.js")
const client = new Discord.client()
client.once('ready',() => {
console.log("Ready !");
});
client.login('token');
But when I'm trying to run it, I get this error:
/home/runner/MelodicPlainApplicationprogrammer/node_modules/discord.js/src/rest/RESTManager.js:32
const token = this.client.token ?? this.client.accessToken;
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token '?'
This is on repl.it, and when I'm in VSCode, it works.
Why?
You are using Discord.js v13 and Discord.js13 requires node.js v16 to work.
Replit.com uses node.js v12 by default so you will need to set up node16 manually.
First, create a node.js repl
Next, run npm install node#16 in shell
After that you need to create a file called .replit
Inside the .replit file, add run = "npx node index.js". If your main file has a different name change index.js to your main file's name.
Now when you click run, replit uses node.js v16 instead of v12
Now for the problems with your code:
const Discord = require("discord.js")
const client = new Discord.client()
client.once('ready',() => {
console.log("Ready !");
});
client.login('token');
In the second line, const client = new Discord.client(), the c in Discord.client has to be capital, so write const client = new Discord.Client()
Now you need to add gateway intents so that your bot receives events. This is required in discord.js13 (Here's a list of gateway intents)
So change const client = new Discord.Client()
to const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"] }) (You can add more intents if you want, these are just the basic ones)
You will also need to get your bot token and replace "token" in client.login('token'); with your bot token. Check this to see how to get your token.
Final code:
const Discord = require("discord.js")
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"] })
client.once('ready',() => {
console.log("Ready !");
});
client.login(enter your token here);
Most likely repl.it is running Node 12 or earlier. The error is saying that the operator ?? is a syntax error, meaning that it does not recognize the nullish coalescing operator. It is supported from Node 14.0.0 and later.
Try upgrading your node.js version (go to shell, next to console):
$ npm install node#16
Or you can downgrade your discord.js version to v12.5.3 in your json file, because v12 has way more tutorials than v13 at the moment.
The choice is upto you, you can upgrade your node.js version or downgrade your discord.js version

The error is caused by client.login() method.Already triple checked the bot token and all seems fine. The problem isn't in the enviroment varible either, because also doesn't work when I pass the token directly.

The problem was the node version, discord.js requires v16 min
Since version 13 of Discord.js, the library requires that you use a more recent Node.js version. According to the docs, you need to use Node.js version v16.6.0 or higher.
For more information about how to change your node version, or use multiple node versions, see NVM for Windows or NVM for Linux depending on your OS.
My discord bot is not coming online.
Here is my .js file
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();
const TOKEN = "my-token-is-here";
client.on("message", message => {
if (message.content === "Hello Discord Bot") {
message.channel.send("Hi There!");
}
{
console.log("Bot Is Ready!");
}
});
client.login(TOKEN)
The error I am getting is
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ?
You should never post any private tokens publicly. Be sure to make a new token on the Discord-Developer-Portal and don't continue using this one!
To your question:
It seems like the lines
{
console.log("Bot Is Ready!");
}
cause the syntax error. You probably want to move that statement into it's own event handler for the event "ready" (triggered when DiscordJs has finished setting up the bot-client for you).
client.on("message", message => {
if (message.content === "Hello Discord Bot") {
message.channel.send("Hi There!");
}
});
client.on("ready", () => {
console.log("Bot Is Ready!");
});
client.login(TOKEN)
Based on your comments you've installed Discord.js version 13.1.0 but your NodeJS version is lower than 16.6. There are two options for you to solve this problem.
Option 1 (most recommended)
You'll need to update your NodeJS version to 16.6 or higher. You can do this by downloading a version of NodeJS at the NodeJS website and complete the setup again.
Once you've completed the setup you should be able to run your Discord bot again.
Option 2
If you don't want to update your version you can install Discord.js version 12.5.3. This version is not as stable as version 13.1.0 is but it is possible. You can do this by using the npm command npm install discord.js#12.5.3. After installing the 12.5.3 version you should be able to run your bot again.
Also like Luca Mertens noticed your breaks are incorrectely. You should replace them to
client.on('ready', () => console.log(`Bot is ready`));
client.on("message", message => {
if (message.content === "Hello Discord Bot") {
message.channel.send("Hi There!");
}
});
i'm trying to code a simple bot for my server on discord but this error happened:
ReferenceError: Intents is not defined
My code is really simple:
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Discord.Client();
bot.login('TOKENcode');
bot.on("message", (message) =>{
console.log('hello world!');
})
what should i do? i just want to write a message on Discord and make my Visual Studio Code prompt say "hello world!"
According to the Discord.js documentation you need to pass Intents to you client initialization. New Discord rules for bot developers has been set that every bot creator needs to pass intents.
For example, this is a simple construction, copied from the documentation:
// Define Client and Intents
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
// Set flags for your bot
// All flags: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Intents?scrollTo=s-FLAGS
const client = new Client({
intents: [
Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES
]
});
client.on('ready', () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`);
});
// Receive messages sent in your server.
client.on("messageCreate", message => {
console.log('Hello World!');
});
client.login('token');
! Note that Discord.js version 13, requires Node.js v16 to be installed on your machine. Make sure you have installed this by typing node -v in your console.

message event listener not working properly
(2 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
my discord.js bot has version 13.1.0, and my node's version is 16.7.0. I entered these commands in the terminal : npm init to create package.json and npm install discord.js to install discord package.
I writed the code in index.js, and I created config.json to put the token there.
When I run then the code it shows me 'Ready!' in the console and being online in Discord. I also can change the status and the activity of the bot without a problem. The problem here is the bot doesn't send or reply to a message.
Here's the code bellow
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS] });
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
client.on ('messageCreate', (message) => {
if (message.content === 'hello') {
message.reply('Hello')
};
});
client.login(token);
this's config.json's code just in case.
{
"token": "my_bot_token!"
}
The issue is caused by missing intents. To listen to messages, you need to specify the GUILD_MESSAGES flag:
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });
