Application Events — disfox

In this example, we will cover everything about the Events field of the Application class.

1. Required Imports (discord.js)​

import { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Events } from "discord.js"; // Events is optional.

2. Required Imports (disfox)​

import { Application } from "disfox";

3. Creating the client with discord.js​

const client = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages
    ]
});

4. Creating the Application instance​

const myBot = new Application({
    client: client,
    token: "MyApplication_TOKEN"
});

5. Logging in the application​

Always log in before listening to events.

await myBot.connect();

6. Listening to events​

myBot.events.listenEvents([]) // Array of event objects

Example of expected events:​

myBot.events.listenEvents([
    {
        data: Events.MessageCreate, // Event type
        async execute(message) {
            message.reply("I am replying to your message!");
            console.log("User said:", message);
        }
    },
    {
        data: Events.ChannelCreate,
        async execute() {
            console.log("A new channel was created!");
        }
    },
    ...
]);

Notes​

This document covers the use of events from the Application instance.

There are services like EventService to enhance event creation.

Note​

listenEvents will soon be replaced by events.listen(), providing:

  • Greater precision when filtering events
  • Better execution control
  • Support for custom callbacks
