Handling Events

To handle client events you must require/import the Maker class and Event decorator from erine and then extend the Maker class and put the event inside using the Event decorator.

Examples​

Ready Event​

const { Event, Maker } = require("erine");

class Listeners extends Maker {
    @Event
    async ready(context) {
        console.log("Successfully logged in as: ".concat(this.bot.user.username));
    }
}

module.exports = { data: Listeners }; // Important to export the class as "data".

Error​

Taking advantage of the Oceanic.js error event, we can handle Custom Errors from our custom Context class.

const { Errors, Event, Maker } = require("erine");

class Listeners extends Maker {
    @Event
    async error(err) {
        if (err instanceof Errors.MissingRequiredParam) {
            await err.ctx.send("Missing required param ".concat(`"#${err.param.name}"`));
        } else console.log(err);
    }
}

module.exports = { data: Listeners }; // Important to export the class as "data".

Notes​

  • The function name must be the event name to be handled. If the event name = "messageCreate", then async messageCreate(message) {}.
  • You can access to the client properties by using this.bot.
