Events

Creating functions for event listeners

You can set some event options in the setupCreators function!

See more details on the creator functions page

To create a function for a discord event listener, use the createEvent function

First import from the base

src/events/myevent.ts

import { createEvent } from "#base";

Use the name property to create a custom identifier for your event, then set which discord event you expect using the event property.

import { createEvent } from "#base";

createEvent({
    name: "Message edit logs",
    event: "messageUpdate",
    async run(oldMessage, newMessage) {
        console.log("Message edited at:", newMessage.editedAt?.toDateString());
        console.log("Author", newMessage.author?.displayName);
        console.log("Old message content: ", oldMessage.content);
        console.log("New message content:", newMessage.content);   
    }
});

All discord events are typed by the event property, when you choose an event, the run method will be automatically typed with all the arguments that this event receives.

If you create functions for the discord ready event, they will only execute after the bot's main ready event, including executions of the main event.

The ready event is automatically set to once, so the function is deleted after execution, ensuring a single execution.
