Ping Pong Example

const { Client, Events, GatewayIntentBits } = require('helly');

const client = new Client({
    intents: [GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages, GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent]
});

// Code inside here will run when the bot connects to the Discord API
client.on(Events.Ready /* you can also use 'Ready', but using enums are recommended */, () => {
    console.log("Ready!"); // Log "Ready!"
});


// Code inside here will run when someone sends a message in a channel
client.on(Events.MessageCreate /* you can also use 'MessageCreate', but using enums are recommended */, (message) => {
  if (message.content === '!ping') return message.reply(`🏓 ${client.ping}ms...`)
  if (message.content === 'Hi') return message.reply(`Hello, ${message.author}! How are you?`)
})

// Replace TOKEN with your bot account's token
client.login('TOKEN')
