discord.js - Imagine an app•2mo ago

A collector that collects messages from a predetermined channel

const collectorFilter = m => m.content.includes('discord');
const collector = interaction.channel.createMessageCollector({ filter: collectorFilter, time: 15_000 });

collector.on('collect', m => {
    console.log(`Collected ${m.content}`);
});

collector.on('end', collected => {
    console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`);
});

const collectorFilter = m => m.content.includes('discord');
const collector = interaction.channel.createMessageCollector({ filter: collectorFilter, time: 15_000 });

collector.on('collect', m => {
    console.log(`Collected ${m.content}`);
});

collector.on('end', collected => {
    console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`);
});

I used this code as a basis, however I had no idea how to make it work in a specific channel without the need of it being triggered by a slash command (I put it in the events folder aswell). Here's how far i've gone

const { Events } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
  name: Events.ClientReady,
  once: false,
  execute(client) {
    const channel = client.channels.fetch("1221529963761500160");

    const collector = channel.createMessageCollector({
      time: 15_000,
    });

    collector.on("collect", (m) => {
      console.log(`Collected ${m.content}`);
    });

    collector.on("end", (collected) => {
      console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`);
    });
  },
};

const { Events } = require("discord.js");

module.exports = {
  name: Events.ClientReady,
  once: false,
  execute(client) {
    const channel = client.channels.fetch("1221529963761500160");

    const collector = channel.createMessageCollector({
      time: 15_000,
    });

    collector.on("collect", (m) => {
      console.log(`Collected ${m.content}`);
    });

    collector.on("end", (collected) => {
      console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`);
    });
  },
};

No, I wanted for it to get every message in all channels and log them in the console, but my end goal for all this turned out to be impossible to achieve seemingly so I'll mark this thread as closed
