Log received DM

[Steeven-1002]

Hi, I'm trying to (at first) log a message that a user send to my bot but I didn't make success... Could someone help me please ? (I'm also French so, sorry for my bad English).

I'm also running on the 14.7.1 version of discord.

Here is some part of my code:
`
const fs = require('node:fs');
const path = require('node:path');
const { Client, Collection, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');
const config = require("./config.json");
Discord = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({
intents: ['Guilds', 'GuildMessages', 'MessageContent', 'GuildMembers', 'DirectMessages', 'MessageContent'],
});

client.commands = new Collection();
const commandsPath = path.join(__dirname, 'commands');
const commandFiles = fs.readdirSync(commandsPath).filter(file => file.endsWith('.js'));

for (const file of commandFiles) {
const filePath = path.join(commandsPath, file);
const command = require(filePath);
client.commands.set(command.data.name, command);
}

client.on("message", async message => {
console.log(Message recu en DM de ${message.author.username} : ${message.content});
console.log(message);
});`

The message event was renamed to messageCreate on v14

- client.on("message", async message => {
+ client.on("messageCreate", async message => {

Additionally, you might want to ignore messages that aren't from DMs. For that, you can use message.channel.isDMBased(), which returns a boolean

Thank's for your fast answer!

Here is the modified code :

client.on("messageCreate", async message => { console.log(Message recu en DM de ${message.author.username} : ${message.content}); console.log(message); });

Unfortunately, even with this change, I get nothing in the console...

You're also going to need the Channel partial, which you can pass in the Client constructor alongside the intents: partials: [Partials.Channel], importing Partials from discord.js

I'm sorry I'm really bad at coding in javascrpit... How I am suppose to to that? I mean, where I need to write all the things that you say on my code?

Add Partials to the discord.js import:

- const { Client, Collection, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
+ const { Client, Collection, Events, GatewayIntentBits, Partials } = require('discord.js');

Pass partials in the Client constructor:

const client = new Client({
  intents: ['Guilds', 'GuildMessages', 'MessageContent', 'GuildMembers', 'DirectMessages', 'MessageContent'],
+ partials: [Partials.Channel],
});

all types are numbers ( in v14 )
so you should use enums like ChannelType.DM here
or use function typeguards like mentioned above
