Why is `message.content` Empty in My Discord.js v14 Bot?

Error: message.content Has No Value in Discord.js

When using Discord.js version 14, you may encounter an issue where the message.content property is empty when a user sends a message. This occurs because the Message Content intent is not enabled or the correct Gateway Intent Bit is not included.

Solution:

1. Enable the Message Content Intent:

   • Navigate to the Discord Developer Portal.
   • Select your bot from "Applications."
   • Under "Bot" settings, go to "Privileged Gateway Intents."
   • Enable the "Message Content" intent.

2. Add the GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent Enum:

   • In your Discord.js code, revise the intents array like this:

     intents: [
     GatewayIntentBits.DirectMessages,
     GatewayIntentBits.Guilds,
     GatewayIntentBits.GuildBans,
     GatewayIntentBits.GuildMessages,
     GatewayIntentBits.MessageContent,
     ],

3. Use the 'messageCreate' Event:

   • Make sure you are using the messageCreate event, not the message event, for handling messages:

     bot.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
     // Your code here
     });

By enabling the Message Content intent and adding the proper Gateway Intent Bit, you will restore the message.content property with the actual message text.
