Events

Discm automatically listens to events for you, so you will never have to call client.on or client.once.

Let’s create an event which listen for the ready event, which is dispatched by discord when our bot is online, and send a message to the console letting us know the bot is online.

Make a new file in your events directory and name it whatever (recommended to use the name of the event).

// filename: events/ready.ts
import { DiscmEvent } from 'discm.js';

export default new DiscmEvent({
    name: 'ready',
    once: true,
    run(client) {
        client.logger.success(`Successfully logged in as ${client.user?.tag}`);
    }
});

// filename: events/ready.js
const { DiscmEvent } = require('discm.js');

module.exports = new DiscmEvent({
    name: 'ready',
    once: true,
    run(client) {
        client.logger.success(`Successfully logged in as ${client.user?.tag}`);
    }
});

Unlike commands, name is required.

The callback passes in the client as an argument, and then whatever additional arguments the event passes in (e.g. messageCreate passes in message).
