Creating my first bot using REPLIT but always error Discord.JS

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'
Require stack:
- /home/runner/Omega-Flowey-JS-Test/node_modules/discord.js/src/client/BaseClient.js
- /home/runner/Omega-Flowey-JS-Test/node_modules/discor

    at Module.require (internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:887:19

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

  • Error: Cannot find module 'node:events'
  • ReferenceError: AbortController is not defined
  • SyntaxError: Unexpected token '?'

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.
