How do I create a Logger for every event?

I'm trying to create a logger for every event I cover, I alredy did it in the past but it was a bit messy. I had many lines of code in the events files. I was wondering if there was a better and cleaner way of doing so. I thought I (maybe) use a somewhat revisited event handler like the one I'm using:

async function registerEvents(client, dir) {
  let files = await fs.readdir(path.join(__dirname, dir));
  for (let file of files) {
    let stat = await fs.lstat(path.join(__dirname, dir, file));
    if (stat.isDirectory()) {
      registerEvents(client, path.join(dir, file));
    } else {
      if (file.endsWith('.js')) {
        let eventName = file.substring(0, file.indexOf('.js'));
        try {
          let eventModule = require(path.join(__dirname, dir, file));
          if (eventModule.once) {
            client.once(eventName, eventModule.bind(null, client));
          } else {
            client.on(eventName, eventModule.bind(null, client));
          };
        } catch(err) {
          console.log(err);
        };
      };
    };
  };
};

async function registerEvents(client, dir) {
  let files = await fs.readdir(path.join(__dirname, dir));
  for (let file of files) {
    let stat = await fs.lstat(path.join(__dirname, dir, file));
    if (stat.isDirectory()) {
      registerEvents(client, path.join(dir, file));
    } else {
      if (file.endsWith('.js')) {
        let eventName = file.substring(0, file.indexOf('.js'));
        try {
          let eventModule = require(path.join(__dirname, dir, file));
          if (eventModule.once) {
            client.once(eventName, eventModule.bind(null, client));
          } else {
            client.on(eventName, eventModule.bind(null, client));
          };
        } catch(err) {
          console.log(err);
        };
      };
    };
  };
};

But I can't really see how

I was thinking about making one big file with every event like

client.on('eventName' ...) {
  // logger...
}

client.on('eventName' ...) {
  // logger...
}

But I think yours make more sense now that I undestand it better
