💬 Message

🎊 Multi events

There is 3 kinds of events here:

• MessageCreate → when a message is sent
• MessageDelete → when a message is deleted
• MessageUpdate → when a message is updated

Since we have 3 kinds of events, we can no longer simply put them in ./sources/modules/<module_name>/messages, 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 MessageCreate
• delete → to handle MessageDelete
• update → to handle MessageUpdate

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

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

🤔 "Message"

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

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

➕ MessageCreate

Has one argument message who is an instance of Message.

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

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

➖ MessageDelete

Has one argument message who is an instance of Message.

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,
	allow_bots: false
}

🆙 MessageUpdate

Has two arguments old_message and new_message who are instances of Message.

⚠️ Warning: old_message is the message state before the update and new_message after the update.

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

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

🖥️ Methods and parameters

Be careful MessageCreate and MessageDelete both has only one argument so as shown below:

async function parse(message)

While MessageUpdate has 2 arguments

async function parse(old_message, new_message)

⎯ Exports

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

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

• parse → method to handle the event
• conditions → list of methods to check if message.member 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
• allow_bots → if false, it will ignore events when the member is a bot
