Support for Discord.js V13

[CarelessInternet]

Any plans for making this compatible with discord.js version 13 that is currently in development? When I try to react to the message, nothing happens.

Hello! When discord.js v13 will be available as a stable release, I will add the support of course 👍
As this a development release for now, apart from specific cases or testing bots, I think it should not be used for production bots.

Do you need it in a near future? I don't know if we can support both versions easily.

I would like to have it in the future, but I don't need it ASAP. I can wait until v13 becomes a stable release. I don't currently need support for v13, since production code is still written in v12. As for now, I have temporarily disabled the tic-tac-toe command for my bot's development for v13 of discord.js.

As the version 13 of discord.js is now out, I started to look into it. But I'm quite disappointed that it only supports Node 16+ which is not a LTS version. My module is intended to be easily installable and ready-to-use for all the community, so I can't make Node 16 mandatory for now. And I don't quite agree with the way the discord.js creators think.

Check the discussion about it on their repository: discordjs/discord.js#5119
And what nodejs.org says about releases on its website: https://nodejs.org/en/about/releases/

LTS release status is "long-term support", which typically guarantees that critical bugs will be fixed for a total of 30 months. Production applications should only use Active LTS or Maintenance LTS releases.

BUT I will try to add support for both v12 and v13 and fix the bug you mentionned.
AND I'm waiting for a feedback from the discord.js team or the release of Node 16 in LTS (end of 2021).

Ah okay, thanks for the update. I do want to mention one thing I forgot, in case you haven't added it in the prototype; I am listening to interaction events instead of message events, which means that you would have to take in account for both slash commands and/or regular messages.

I have just wrote a new issue on this subject yes! Check it here: #56

Hello! Node.js 16 is out as a LTS version! 👍
It means that I can start to work on a new release of the module which will work with discord.js 13+.

Here is how I have planned to handle module versionning:

• The module will only support Node.js 16+ and discord.js 13+ from next version: its a breaking change so I have to create a new major version 3.x.x ;
• I will also try to add same features in the current version 2.x during 3 months after v3 initial release ; and 3 more months for bugfixes if needed. End of life of v2 is planned for mid 2022.

This versionning schedule is temporary and may change according to user needs.

Version 3 of the module is now out with discord.js v13 support!
