Accessing the client in pieces

There are multiple ways to access the client in pieces:

1. By accessing container from this, if you're extending a Sapphire Piece (commands, listeners, etc):

CommonJS

const { Listener } = require('@sapphire/framework');

class ExampleListener extends Listener {
  run() {
    const { client } = this.container;
    // rest of your code
  }
}
module.exports = {
  ExampleListener
};

ESM

import { Listener } from '@sapphire/framework';

export class ExampleListener extends Listener {
  run() {
    const { client } = this.container;
    // rest of your code
  }
}

TypeScript

import { Listener } from '@sapphire/framework';

export class ExampleListener extends Listener {
  public run() {
    const { client } = this.container;
    // rest of your code
  }
}

2. By importing container from the framework:

CommonJS

const { container, Listener } = require('@sapphire/framework');

class ExampleListener extends Listener {
  run() {
    const { client } = container;
    // rest of your code
  }
}
module.exports = {
  ExampleListener
};

ESM

import { container, Listener } from '@sapphire/framework';

export class ExampleListener extends Listener {
  run() {
    const { client } = container;
    // rest of your code
  }
}

TypeScript

import { container, Listener } from '@sapphire/framework';

export class ExampleListener extends Listener {
  public run() {
    const { client } = container;
    // rest of your code
  }
}
