Trying to make discord bot but when i attempt to use ‘node .’ I get a client error

I am trying to create a discord bot and when i try to run “node .” in cmd after creating the code for the bot in visual studio code, I get an error message about the Client missing intents. Here is the error message.

C:MusicBot>node .
C:MusicBotnode_modulesdiscord.jssrcclientClient.js:544
      throw new TypeError('CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS');
      ^

}

My code is as follows: (the ‘x’ are the bots clientID)

const Discord = require('discord.js');

const client = new Discord.Client();

client.once('ready', () => {
    console.log ('Smegma Music is online!');
});


client.login('xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'); //at end

Answer

It’s a new issue that was not in discord v12

you could use this

const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');

const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });

change discord to version 12
