Ready Event

Overview

The ready event is the first and most important client event in nsCore.
It fires once when the Discord client has successfully connected and is fully operational.

This event confirms that:

The bot is authenticated
The WebSocket connection is stable
Commands and events can safely execute

When Is `ready` Triggered?

The ready event is emitted once per session when:

The bot logs in successfully
Discord finishes syncing data
The client cache is initialized

If your bot reaches the ready event, it means everything up to this point is working correctly.

Purpose in nsCore

In nsCore, the ready event is used to:

Log successful startup
Display bot identity in logs
Set presence and activity
Confirm both message and slash systems are active

This makes it the ideal place for startup logic.

Implementation

import { logDefault } from 'nstypocolors'
import { ExtendedClient } from '../../interfaces/ExtendedClient'
import { ActivityType } from 'discord.js'
import { BOT } from '../../configs/metadata'

export const registerReadyEvent = (client: ExtendedClient) => {
  client.once('ready', () => {
    logDefault(`Successfully connected both Message & Slash clients ${client.user?.tag}!`)

    client.user?.setPresence({
      activities: [
        {
          name: `${BOT.PREFIX}help • ${client.user?.username}`,
          type: ActivityType.Custom,
        },
      ],
      status: 'online',
    })
  })
}
