discord.js - Imagine ❄•9mo ago

Just updated, confused about prefix commands

I just updated discord.js, and I don't know how it works now but I skimmed through the guide and only found information on how to make slash commands as far as I can tell. I tried using my old code and it didnt work. Do prefix commands not work anymore?

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

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

client.once(Events.ClientReady, readyClient => {
    console.log(`Ready! Logged in as ${readyClient.user.tag}`);
})

client.on('message', async message => {

    if (message.author.bot) return
    const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/)
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

    if (command === 'test') {
        await message.channel.send("test")
    }
})

client.login([redacted]);

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');

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

client.once(Events.ClientReady, readyClient => {
    console.log(`Ready! Logged in as ${readyClient.user.tag}`);
})

client.on('message', async message => {

    if (message.author.bot) return
    const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/)
    const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

    if (command === 'test') {
        await message.channel.send("test")
    }
})

client.login([redacted]);

If you aren't getting content, embeds or attachments of a message, make sure you have the MessageContent intent enabled in the Developer Portal and provide it to your client:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent]
});

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.Guilds, GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent]
});
