canvas - Canvacord is not a constructor

Question

I just installed Canvacord and when starting my discord bot I got an error message in the terminal, here it is:

TypeError: Canvacord is not a constructor

 const Canvacord = require ("canvacord");
 const canvas = new Canvacord ();

 const {author} = require ("canvacord");

Answer 1

Canvacord itself cannot be instantiated with new. Instead, you have to use the class provided within Canvacord, of which (according to their documentation) there are 5 (Leaver, Rank, Spotify, Util, and Welcomer).

All of those, you can instantiate depending on your usage. For example, to instantiate Util, use:

var util = new Canvacord.Util();

You can read more about how to use each available class in their documentation. They've also provided examples for some of those classes that you can use as a reference.
