node: v20.17.0 - i don't know if i have djs installed or not (i assumed i didnt need the whole package since i'm only doing RPC stuff)

import { Client } from 'discord-rpc';
import { CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET } from './vars';

const client = new Client({
    transport: 'ips'
});

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log(`Logged in as ${client.application!.name}`);
    console.log(`Authed for user ${client.user!.username!}`);
});

client.login({
    clientId: CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: CLIENT_SECRET,
    scopes: ['rpc', 'rpc.api']
});

import { Client } from 'discord-rpc';
import { CLIENT_ID, CLIENT_SECRET } from './vars';

const client = new Client({
    transport: 'ips'
});

client.on('ready', () => {
    console.log(`Logged in as ${client.application!.name}`);
    console.log(`Authed for user ${client.user!.username!}`);
});

client.login({
    clientId: CLIENT_ID,
    clientSecret: CLIENT_SECRET,
    scopes: ['rpc', 'rpc.api']
