🪑 Channels

🎊 Multi events

There is 3 kinds of events here:

• ChannelCreate → when a channel is created
• ChannelDelete → when a channel is deleted
• ChannelUpdate → when a channel is updated

Since we have 3 kinds of events, we can no longer simply put them in ./sources/modules/<module_name>/channels, we need to specify which of the 3 events is to be used. To do this, we add an extension to the end of the file:

• create → to handle ChannelCreate
• delete → to handle ChannelDelete
• update → to handle ChannelUpdate

⎯ Example for each classes replace <module_name> by the name of your module

• create → ./sources/modules/<module_name>/channels/create.js
• delete → ./sources/modules/<module_name>/channels/delete.js
• update → ./sources/modules/<module_name>/channels/update.js

🤔 "Channel"

Channel is an object with several data and methods, you should read discord.js documentation to see how to work with Channel.

• https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/main/BaseChannel:Class

➕ ChannelCreate

Has one argument channel who is an instance of Channel.

async function parse(channel)
{
	console.log("new message from:", message.author.username)
	console.log("content:", message.content)
}

module.exports = {
	parse,
	conditions: [],
	any_guild: false,
	dm: false,
}

➖ ChannelDelete

Has one argument channel who is an instance of Channel.

async function parse(message)
{
	console.log("message from:", message.author.username, "has been deleted")
	console.log("content:", message.content)
}

module.exports = {
	parse,
	conditions: [],
	any_guild: false,
	dm: false,
}

🆙 ChannelUpdate

Has two arguments old_channel and new_channel who are instances of Channel.

⚠️ Warning: old_channel is the channel state before the update and new_channel after the update.

async function parse(old_channel, new_channel)
{
	console.log("channel:", old_channel.name, "has been updated")
	console.log("old_channel:", old_channel)
	console.log("new_channel:", new_channel)
}

module.exports = {
	parse,
	conditions: [],
	any_guild: false,
	dm: false,
	allow_bots: false
}

🖥️ Methods and parameters

Be careful ChannelCreate and ChannelDelete both has only one argument so as shown below:

async function parse(message)

While ChannelUpdate has 2 arguments

async function parse(old_channel, new_channel)

⎯ Exports

At the bottom of the file we have exports, which includes several important elements.

module.exports = {
	parse,
	conditions: [],
	any_guild: false,
	dm: false,
}

• parse → method to handle the event
• conditions → list of methods to check if channel has the right conditions
• any_guild → if false, the command can be executed only on the main guild
• dm → if true, we can use this interaction in direct messages
