Hello! Recently, I started to create my own discord bot. I’ve learned the basics of commands and others, but when I want to start the bot, I am getting an error. Do you have any solution how can I solve the problem?

The following lines are the codes inserted:

Package.json

{

“name”: “discord-bot”,

“version”: “1.0.0”,

“description”: “First Discord Bot Try”,

“main”: “index.js”,

“scripts”: {

"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"

},

“author”: “Rares.OfficialBDT”,

“license”: “ISC”,

“dependencies”: {

"discord.js": "^11.5.1"

}

}

index.js

const Discord = require(‘discord.js’);
const BOT = new Discord.Client();

const token = ‘Hidden’;

bot.on(‘ready’, () =>{
console.log (‘The bot is ready!’);
})

bot.login(token);

When I am opening the console (ALT+`) and type “node .” I get this error:

ReferenceError: bot is not defined

And if I type node run index.js I get this error:

Variable names are case sensitive. Your bot variable is named “BOT”, not “bot”.
You can either make it lowercase, or make every other refernce “BOT.{etc}” instead of “bot.{etc}”.

I’d recommend not sharing your private token on any public forum as any malicious person can hijack your bot for their own use. You should generate a new one as soon as you can.

Please do not be asking people for there tokens for there bot, if someone stupid takes it, god knows what happens.

@RaresMihai74 Please make sure you do not give out your token, if someone gets your bot token, they could do a raid on every server your bot is in, which could get your discord account banned.

Please replace your code with the following, and it should work.

const Discord = require(‘discord.js’);
const bot = new Discord.Client();

const token = "your bots token, keep it hidden"

bot.on(‘ready’, () =>{
console.log (‘The bot is ready!’);
})

bot.login(token);

Guys, I feared someone might use the token so I’ve flagged it for moderation.
