heres the error:

the var TOKEN =... used to be const but i figured if i made it a var it would work. it did not and im not even sure what the error is about. other then that i just dont know what to do.

Answer 1

Your code isn't up to date with the latest discord.js version which I assume you are on v14, refer to the official discord.js guide. Alternatively, refer to the discord.js documentation for ClientOptions, the arguments passed to the constructor (new Discord.Client(ClientOptions here)). This documentation specifies that the intents field is non-optional, which is specified in the error.

As such, you need to specify which intents you are using for example

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