Events

Events are payloads sent over the socket to a client that correspond to events in Discord.

All gateway events are enabled by default and can be individually disabled using disabledEvents options. Most events also requires the respective Intents enabled (as well privileged ones enabled from Developers Portal) regardless the enabled event setting.

To listen on gateway events, use the event emitter callback and Event name constants. Some events are internally handled by the library and may not be registered a listener:

• Event::READY
• Event::RESUMED
• Event::GUILD_MEMBERS_CHUNK

If you are an advanced user, you may listen to those events before internally handled with the library by parsing the ‘raw’ dispatch event data.
