npm install -D typescript
npm install -D ts-node
npm install @types/node
npm install eris

after you have installed typescript and eris you can create index.ts file and import eris.

// index.ts
import Eris from "eris";
const bot = new Eris.Client("BOT_TOKEN", {
  intents: ["guildMessages"],
});
bot.on("ready", () => {
  console.log("Ready!");
});

bot.on(‘createmessage’) is an event that is called every time a new message is sent. The bot checks if the message is equal to ‘!ping’ if it is it send a message ‘Pong!’.

bot.on("messageCreate", (msg) => {
  if (msg.content === "!ping") {
    bot.createMessage(msg.channel.id, "Pong!");
  }
});
bot.connect();

run index.ts using ts-node

ts-node index.ts

Send !ping to your server.
