Listening discord events

First of all, you must tell seyfert where your events will be created by updating your config file.

1
// @ts-check
2
const { config } = require('seyfert');
3

4
module.exports = config.bot({
5
  token: process.env.BOT_TOKEN ?? "",
6
  intents: ["Guilds"],
7
  locations: {
8
    base: "src",
9
    output: "dist",
10
    commands: "commands",
11
    events: "events"
12
  }
13
});

Then you can create a listener by exporting createEvent function into a file inside the events folder. Let’s see an example of how create a ready event:

1
import { createEvent } from "seyfert";
2

3
export default createEvent({
4
  data: { once: true, name: "botReady" },
5
  run(user, client) {
6
    client.logger.info(`${user.username} is ready`);
7
  }
8
})

Let’s check another example with guildDelete event:

1
import { createEvent } from "seyfert";
2

3
export default createEvent({
4
  data: { name: "guildDelete" },
5
  run(unguild, client) {
6
    if (unguild.unavailable) return;
7
    client.logger.info(`I have been kicked out of: ${unguild.id}`);
8
  }
9
})

And that’s all, you can create as many events as you want. For further information you can check the list of all gateway events here.
