Add an event handler

When this works

Same as slash commands: modular and advanced only. Basic preset keeps events inline.

Add an event by Discord.js name

Event names must match Discord.js event names (e.g. messageCreate, interactionCreate):

npm

$ npx forgeloop add event messageCreate

pnpm

$ pnpm forgeloop add event messageCreate

yarn

$ yarn forgeloop add event messageCreate

once vs on

• --once — register with client.once.
• --on — register with client.on.

If you omit both, the CLI defaults to once for clientReady and on for other events.

npx forgeloop add event clientReady --once
npx forgeloop add event guildCreate --on

Interactive mode

In a TTY, you can run npx forgeloop add event with no name and pick from the bundled event list, then confirm once vs on.

Validation errors

Invalid names show:

Invalid event name "…". Use the exact Discord.js event name, for example "messageCreate".
