Using intents in V14

I just updated a repo to v14 but cannot figure out how to wrangle intents at all. Can someone show me code that works correctly with the intents? The latest code that worked was something like

require('dotenv').config(); 
const fs = require('fs');
const Discord = require('discord.js');

const { Client, Collection} = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Client();

require('dotenv').config(); 
const fs = require('fs');
const Discord = require('discord.js');

const { Client, Collection} = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Client();

and now it gives TypeError [ClientMissingIntents]: Valid intents must be provided for the Client. at Client._validateOptions (/home/thetis/coding/SI_Card_Bot/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/Client.js:512:13) at new Client (/home/thetis/coding/SI_Card_Bot/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/Client.js:80:10)

- Websocket intents limit events and decrease memory usage: learn more - See what intents you need here

I've tried reading both and still don't get it unfortunately. Something about the bot just stops working even if I give it some intents Let me try one of the codes and show For example

const { Client, Collection, GatewayIntentBits, Intents} = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
    ],
});/**/
const PREFIX = "-";

const { Client, Collection, GatewayIntentBits, Intents} = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Client({
    intents: [
        GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
        GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
        GatewayIntentBits.GuildMembers,
    ],
});/**/
const PREFIX = "-";

I use this code, and the bot starts without any errors. And then does not change its own status or reply to -help anymore I cant tell why, do I need to specify a separate intent for every little thing? Send Messages, MessageContent, change Status etc?

You don't need intents for sending messages/changing your own status, how are you doing all that? Show the relevant code

d.js docs•9mo ago

:method: ClientUser#setPresence() Sets the full presence of the client user.

I am basically updating to v14 so it can use forum posts and threads again Sorry I'm not well versed in JS, I usually use python for things, so just learning as I go

NyR•9mo ago

You clearly didn't, because that is not v14, also you do not specify any intents when initiating your client The events you are listening to are outdated, activity type, use ActivityType enum, just read the updating guide

TimOP•9mo ago

I just committed the code I was running locally latest. That's just the code I already shared above

NyR•9mo ago

Also, its activities in v14 which takes an array, follow this doc Okay, that just added the intents, rest of the stuff is still the same the event message -> messageCreate , for settinf the presence, check the doc i linked

TimOP•9mo ago

Yeah reading. I didnt write the repo so still picking up all NodeJs and Discord.js stuff at once I think I managed to get it work. Had to replace message with messagecreate and I think that was all? Thank you, it took me a while to understand what all changes needed to be followed. The full list of V13 V14 events is a bit hard to parse
