I have a problem in creating the main file for my discord bot. currently, i encountered a problem in trying to get my bot to work but sadly, this error message has been outputted from the console.
PS C:\Users\Kelvin Wang\Documents\Projects\DiscordBot> node index.js

throw err;

My code in index.js is this:
//initial discord initialization of client and library
// Require the necessary discord.js classes
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');
const dotenv = require('dotenv');
// Create a new client instance
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS] });
// When the client is ready, run this code (only once)
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ferraribot is online!');
});
// Login to Discord with your client's token
client.login(token);
While my config.json looks like this:
{
"token": "token"
}
Any help would be much appreciated! This is my first time using stack overflow so I'm sorry for any wrong formatting that I've done. Thanks in advance!
Your code looks just fine.
The error said, your code has some problems reading the JSON config. (is it in the same directory?)
First try your code using your token in the index.js. client.login(*****) // just don't upload e.g. github ;)
Second, I believe better practice using .env for sensitive information. https://www.npmjs.com/package/dotenv

Try as I might, I can't figure out why this basic example code won't work. I am a complete newbie to Java Script. I can't figure out why the line GatewayIntentBits.Guilds tosses the error. When I comment that line out, it starts fine. Here is what I am trying to run and the error message. I'm sorry for this ultra-basic question; I feel dumb. Can someone please explain it to me? I've been over the documentation and haven't found the answer.
// Require the necessary discord.js classes
const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');
// Create a new client instance
const client = new Client({ intents: [
GatewayIntentBits.Guilds
] });
// When the client is ready, run this code (only once)
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
// Login to Discord with your client's token
client.login(token);
const client = new Client({ intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,] });

I don't know exactly what happened, but I decided to uninstall and then reinstall Discord.js using npm, and it's working now. Thank you for trying to help me out. It all looked correct.
Uninstall/reinstall is right behind, turning it off and back on again. 🤷♂️
I need help creating a discord bot in js. Before we could do it without 'intents', but now discord practically obliges and I'm new to programming so I have no idea how to put these 'intents'! if anyone knows and can help me I'm immensely grateful, here below is an example of the error and how is my code! Thanks.
The error:

My code:

const Client = new Discord.Client();
const config = require("./config.json")
bot.login();
bot.once('ready', () => { console.log(`Bot online: ${bot.user.tag}!`); });
bot.on("guildMemberAdd", member => { member.send(`Seja bem vindo! Siga as regras do servidor e divirta-se 😀`) });
client.login('config.token')
📄 This seems like a duplicate of How do I fix CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS error - Disord.js
.
In short, since v8 you have to specify which events you need to receive in your bot.
Example
const Client = new Discord.Client({ intents: [your intents] });
You can see a full list here.
And then you can use it as:
const Client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILD_CREATE", "GUILD_UPDATE"] });
I've been working on a discord bot, but when I run node main.js it replies with this response:
(I have changed index.js with main.js, as that is what the file is called)

This is my full code:
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.once("ready", () => {
console.log("Online!");
});
client.login("TOKEN");
I think you copied the wrong error, because when I tried to recreate this error it gave me different error, which has a simple solution.
client.login takes in a private discord token, I'm guessing you probably pasted the "TOKEN" string directly from a guide.
To create a bot token, follow the official docs at https://discordjs.guide/
After you created the token, you can do this:
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();
const token = 'ThePrivateTokenYouGenerated'
client.once("ready", () => {
console.log("Online!");
});
client.login(token);
When I would enter
"node index.js"
Into Command Prompt & the folder with all of the Discord bot information, it'd give me this error:
const client = Discord.Client();

Anyway to fix?
Edit:
config.json
{
"BOT_TOKEN": "bot's token"
}
index.js
const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();
client.once('ready', () => {
console.log('Ready!');
});
client.login('bot's token');
From what i can see, you have probably put one of these somewhere in the code: (maybe by accident in another .js file?)
const client = Discord.client();
SyntaxError: Unexpected token const, usually means the app waited for some kind of const, but did not receive it.
Also, try to move the 'Token' constant in your index.js file.
It's suggesting somewhere in your code you have const client = Discord.Client();. Once found just remove it.
Advice
I'd suggest you refer to your config.json .
The following:
const settings = require('./config.json')
Then extract bot token by making a variable:
const token = settings.BOT_TOKEN;
Result:
client.login(token);
Optimises your code ;)
I just started writing a Discord bot in Visual Studio Code in Javascript, it's literally the most basic it can be, loading discord.js, on ready event and then login.
Before it even runs the first line of code, I get this error:

The error occurs in the Discord.js module which I didn't write, and have no idea how it works and therefore cannot fix.
Re-installling Discord.js didn't help, reinstalling Visual Studio Code didn't either.
I sent a friend the exact same files (even the same node_modules folder) and when he runs it, it works with no problems. Any ideas what the problem is or how I can fix it?
This is my code:
console.log("test") //DOESNT LOG
const Discord = require("discord.js");
const fs = require("fs");
const config = require("./config.json");
let christian = {}
//This will define our bot
var bot = new Discord.Client()
bot.on('message', async msg => {
console.log(msg)
})
bot.on('ready', () => {
console.log(`-----Purge#2420 Online-----\nWatching over ${bot.guilds.cache.size} servers |`)
});
bot.login(config.token)
From the comments:
I am on [Node] v8.9.4, [...] on Discord.js V12
From Discord JS' upgrade guide::
v12 requires Node 12.x or higher to use, so make sure you're up-to-date.
That is -- you'll have to upgrade your Node.js.
In the ready event you have an invalid string which maybe causing the error '-----Purge#2420 Online-----\nWatching over ${bot.guilds.cache.size} servers | it maybe crashing due to the invalid single quote ' at string's start, try replacing it with a backtick (`).
