How to Fix Client_Missing_Intents Error

How do I fix CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS error?

You need to specify the events which you want your bot to receive using gateway intents.

Instead of

const client = new Discord.Client();

Use

const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: [Enter intents here] })

For example

const client = new Discord.Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"] })

Here's another useful page: Gateways

• Intents help you control which events your bot receives. See Privileged Intents for more information.
• You need node.js 16.6 or higher to use discord.js13. npm install node@16 in shell.
• The list of events are under the events tab at Client.

How do i fix CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS error - Discord.js

I will explain it again.

If you need your bot to receive messages (MESSAGE_CREATE - "messageCreate" in discord.js), you need the GUILD_MESSAGES intent. If you want your bot to post welcome messages for new members (GUILD_MEMBER_ADD - "guildMemberAdd" in discord.js), you need the GUILD_MEMBERS intent, and so on.

So, put valid intent and it will be working.
You can also put every each of them for the future and you will never get this error again.

TypeError [ClientMissingIntents]: Valid intents must be provided for the Client

You need to use Intents to work your bot.

If you're using discordjs v14 Here's how you use Intents:

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
  intents: [
    GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
    GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages
  ]
});

Since v14 added GateWayIntentBits instead of Intents. And here's how you use Intents on v13:

const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js')
const client = new Client({intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES ] })

Since GateWayIntentBits is not added on v13 discord. You can look at your package.json to see what version you're using under dependencies

"dependencies": {
    "discord.js": "^13.6.0", //This will be your version
    "dotenv": "^16.0.0",
    "fs": "^0.0.1-security",
    "mongoose": "^6.4.0",
    "ms": "^2.1.3",
    "node.js": "^0.0.1-security"
  }

CLIENT_MISSING_INTENTS'

The issue is exactly what the error says it is; your client is missing intents. You need to specify what events and data your bot intends to work with (e.g. guild member presences, messages, etc).

i try many way on internet but it still not sold

I don't know what tutorials or guides you're looking at, but only discord.js v11 and under can work without intents. Discord.js v12 and the latest version (v13) require intents to be specified. What intents you need to specify depends on what you want your bot to do. Does your bot need to detect messages and respond to them? Then enable the GUILD_MESSAGES intent. If your bot does not need to, for example, track guild member presences, you do not need to enable a GUILD_PRESENCES intent.

Before continuing, I would highly suggest you check out the official discord.js guide on how to create a bot on the latest version, which should have been the first place you looked for this information.

Here is a simple way to solve your issue based on the code on that guide, if you are using discord.js v13:

// Require the necessary discord.js classes
const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');

// Create a new client instance
const client = new Client({ intents: [Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS, Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES] });

Here is another way of doing it, if you are on discord.js v12 (this may also work in v13):

// Require the necessary discord.js classes
const { Client } = require('discord.js');

// Create a new client instance
const client = new Client({ intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"], ws: {intents: ["GUILDS", "GUILD_MESSAGES"]} });

Note that the intents I specified in the above examples may not be enough for you, depending on what your bot is supposed to do in the future. But I believe those examples will be enough to get your current code working without the error you are experiencing.

For a full list of intents, check the discord developer docs here.
