Basic listeners setup

Listeners are a way of getting events and running code on them

this guide assumes that you are already using the intro bot

//mod.ts
//Set the directory of the listener handler
...
 listenerHandler: NaticoListenerHandler = new NaticoListenerHandler(this, {
 directory: './listeners',
 });

 async start(token: string) {
 //Set the emitters
 //Emitter must be set before loading any listeners otherwise it will cause errors
 this.listenerHandler.setEmitters({
 commandHandler: this.commandHandler,
 });
 //Loading the stuff
 await this.listenerHandler.loadALL();
 await this.commandHandler.loadALL();
 return this.login(token);
 }
...

Creating a listener#

//listeners/ready.ts
import { NaticoListener } from '../deps.ts';
export default class ready extends NaticoListener {
 constructor() {
 super('ready', {
 //The emitter of the event
 emitter: 'client',
 //THe event your listening for
 event: 'ready',
 });
 }

 exec() {
 console.log('Bot has started');
 }
}

This a listener for the command handler but you can also listen to other events, For example the commandStarted event:

import {
 ConvertedOptions,
 discordenoMessage,
 NaticoCommand,
 NaticoListener,
} from '../deps.ts';
export default class commandStarted extends NaticoListener {
 constructor() {
 super('commandStarted', {
 //In this example we are using the commandHandler that was specified in the mod.ts
 emitter: 'commandHandler',
 event: 'commandStarted',
 });
 }

 exec(
 message: discordenoMessage,
 command: NaticoCommand,
 args: ConvertedOptions
 ) {
 console.log('command:', command.id, 'started with args', args);
 }
}
