I am making a ping pong command and I am getting an error in my code

I'm making a bot and I'm getting an error saying that TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "emitter" argument must be an instance of EventEmitter. Received type string ('message') on line 11. Here's my code:

const { Client, Intents } = require("discord.js");
const settings = require("./settings.json");

const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, 
    Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES
  ]
});

Client.on("message", (msg) => {
  // Message function
  if (msg.author.bot) return; // Ignore all bots
  if (msg.content.startsWith(settings.prefix)) return; // It always has to starts with the prefix which is '!'

  if (msg.content.startsWith(settings.prefix + "ping")) {
    // When a player does '!ping'
    msg.reply("Pong!"); // The bot will say @Author, Pong!
  }
});

Client.login(token);

This is the error I get:

throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE('emitter', 'EventEmitter', emitter);
        ^    
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "emitter" argument must be an instance of EventEmitter. Received type string ('message')

And this is my settings.json file:

{
    "clientId": "123456789012345678",
    "guildId": "876543210987654321",
    "token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}

You need to use client which is the instance of the Client class you made on line 4, and not Client which is the class itself.

Your line 11 should look like that: client.on('message', msg => { and same for client.login(token); on the last line.

Try using the import for your token like that:

const { token } = require('./settings.json')
