Solution
The client class provided by Discord.js is called Client.
Client
Client extends BaseClient
The main hub for interacting with the Discord API, and the starting point for any bot.
Use new Discord.Client()
instead of new Discord.client()
.
Or directly import the client using const { Client } = require("discord.js")
and then instantiate with new Client()
