ReferenceError: client is not defined | client.userSettings = new Collection();

Question

i have coded a discord bot but i have a problem, when i start the bot i have this problem : "ReferenceError: client is not defined", i have downloaded requirements ect...

The client :

client.userSettings = new Collection();

My interactionCreate.js :

// Check the guide at the beginning if you don't understand paths.
const User = require("../Models/User");
const cmd = client.Commands.get(interaction.commandName);
if (cmd) {
  let user = client.userSettings.get(interaction.user.id);
  // If there is no user, create it in the Database as "newUser"
  if (!user) {
    const findUser = await User.findOne({ Id: interaction.user.id });
    if (!findUser) {
      const newUser = await User.create({ Id: interaction.user.id });
      client.userSettings.set(interaction.user.id, newUser);
      user = newUser;
    } else;
  }

  if (cmd.premium && user && !user.isPremium) {
    interaction.followUp(`You are not premium user`);
  } else {
    cmd.run({ client, interaction, args });
  }
}

My User.js :

const mongoose = require("mongoose");

// The heart of the User, here is everything saved that the User does.
// Such as Levels, Courses, Premium, Enrolled, XP, Leaderboard.
const user = mongoose.Schema({
  Id: {
    type: mongoose.SchemaTypes.String,
    required: true,
    unique: true,
  },
  isPremium: {
    type: mongoose.SchemaTypes.Boolean,
    default: false,
  },
  premium: {
    redeemedBy: {
      type: mongoose.SchemaTypes.Array,
      default: null,
    },

    redeemedAt: {
      type: mongoose.SchemaTypes.Number,
      default: null,
    },

    expiresAt: {
      type: mongoose.SchemaTypes.Number,
      default: null,
    },

    plan: {
      type: mongoose.SchemaTypes.String,
      default: null,
    },
  },
});
module.exports = mongoose.model("user", user);

Please help me i very need help pls, thanks you.

Answer 1

Just utilize the client that you've passed to your commad:

  if (cmd.premium && user && !user.isPremium) {
    interaction.followUp(`You are not premium user`);
  } else {
    cmd.run({ **client**, interaction, args });
  }
}

Also it'd be good to see how your command looks.

The issue is you do not have your client defined in your interactionCreate.js. To define it, use const client = <something> if you need help with client, read this documentation.

If you are new to DiscordJS V13, you can view the docs here

Other steps you can do to trouble shoot is to reinstall discordjs and verify that you are using node version 16 and higher.

Node: In your terminal put node -v

Discord Js Reinstall: In your terminal put npm uninstall discord.js then npm install discord.js or npm install [email protected]
