I have just started Discord.JS on Replit. It followed FreeCodeCamp's Tutorial on https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/create-a-discord-bot-with-javascript-nodejs/
But when I runned the code it telled me to run :
const Discord = require("discord.js")
const client = new Discord.Client()
client.on("ready", () => {
console.log(`Logged in as ${client.user.tag}!`)
})
client.on("message", msg => {
if (msg.content === "ping") {
msg.reply("pong");
}
})
client.login(process.env.TOKEN)
It tells this error :
Error: Cannot find module 'node:events'

Can someone tell me whats error? I'm very new at Discord.JS so I don't know anything that is error.
Discord.js v13 requires Node.js v16.6. Replit only directly supports Node.js v12.16.1 (at the time of writing).
When using an older version of Node.js, you may see errors such as
However, you can install a newer Node.js binary using the node npm package.
Here's a minimal setup:
package.json
{
"name": "node.js-v16-on-replit-demo",
"version": "0.0.1",
"dependencies": {
"discord.js": "^13.2.0",
"node": "^16.10.0"
}
}
.replit
run = "npx node ."
index.js
const Discord = require("discord.js")
// your code...
You can try this out with this demo repl.
If you like, you can define a start npm script:
package.json
{
// ...
"scripts": {
"start": "node ."
}
}
.replit
run = 'npm start'
There are also plenty of resources online about Node.js v16 on Replit.
