On READY event return null for ClientUser property

[TheLittlePolaris]

Problem:

When i try to use the "ready" event, the value for user (UserClient) is null and i cannot use any of the ClientUser instance or method.

Expectation:

We should be able to use it the way the native discord.js module do
bot.on('ready', () => { bot.user.setActivity(...) })

My workaround solution for now:

Much appreciate if you can fix it in the near feature :)

Isn't onReady in your case a member of the class you decorated with @Discord.
Your own class does not inherit Client. If you want access to the properties of the discord client object, you need to use it this way:

@On('ready')
async onReady(client: Client){
    console.log(client.user);
    // Do stuff with user
}

Okay, so I have the same issue and for some reason @On('ready') gets called twice.

The function is inside a class decorated with @Discord, do i still need to pass in the parameter for Client ?

[Fredi100]

Yes. @On injects the client object as the last parameter of the function which is why you have to include it. Take a quick look at the Readme

Yes you have to use the client parameter on the event function :)

Thank's @Fredi100 for the support!
