In Discord.js, it is not possible to completely ignore permission errors as they are necessary for maintaining user privacy and security within Discord servers. However, you can handle permission errors by adding a catch block in your code to handle the error gracefully without crashing your bot.


Here is an example of how you can handle permission errors in Discord.js:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
client.on('message', (message) => {
    try {
        // Your code that may potentially throw a permission error
    } catch (error) {
        if (error.code === 50013) {
            console.error('Permission error: Missing permissions to perform this action');
        } else {
            console.error('An unexpected error occurred:', error);
        }
    }
});


By adding a try-catch block around your code that may throw permission errors, you can catch the error and handle it appropriately without crashing your bot. In the catch block, you can check the error code to determine if it is a permission error and log a message accordingly. This way, you can gracefully handle permission errors without ignoring them completely.
