'client.user' is possible null

The error that VS Code gives me is in the title.

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

function setActivity() {
  client.user.setPresence({
    activities: [
      {
        name: "SOME TEXT",
        type: ActivityType.Playing,
      },
    ],
    status: "online",
  });
}

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

function setActivity() {
  client.user.setPresence({
    activities: [
      {
        name: "SOME TEXT",
        type: ActivityType.Playing,
      },
    ],
    status: "online",
  });
}

Can someone help me? I'm a newbie in TypeScript btw. [email protected] nodejs v18.15.0

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

Yeah but client is not defined inside that function. Console log client when u call the function

Client#isReady() Returns whether the client has logged in, indicative of being able to access properties such as user and application.

Their is some more code thats private for getting the Presence of an Json file because of this i have to use it in a function

function setActivity() {
  const cj = "SOME TEXT";
  if(!client.isReady())

  client.user.setPresence({
    activities: [
      {
        name: cj,
        type: ActivityType.Playing,
      },
    ],
    status: "online",
  });

  setTimeout(() => {
    setActivity();
  }, 60 * 1000 * 1);
}

function setActivity() {
  const cj = "SOME TEXT";
  if(!client.isReady())

  client.user.setPresence({
    activities: [
      {
        name: cj,
        type: ActivityType.Playing,
      },
    ],
    status: "online",
  });

  setTimeout(() => {
    setActivity();
  }, 60 * 1000 * 1);
}
