To make a deleted message logger in discord.js, you can start by creating a new Discord client and adding an event listener for the messageDelete event. Here's an example code snippet to get you started:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.on('messageDelete', async message => {
  // Log deleted message
  const logChannel = message.guild.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name === 'deleted-logs');
  if (!logChannel) return; // If log channel not found, return

  const logEmbed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setTitle('Message Deleted')
    .setColor('#FF0000')
    .addField('Author', message.author.tag)
    .addField('Channel', message.channel.name)
    .addField('Content', message.content)
    .setTimestamp();

  logChannel.send(logEmbed);
});

client.login('YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN');

In this code snippet, we are logging deleted messages to a channel named "deleted-logs" in the server. You can modify the code to suit your needs, such as adding additional information to the log message or logging it to a different channel.

Make sure to replace 'YOUR_DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN' with your actual bot token. You can obtain a bot token by creating a new bot application on the Discord Developer Portal.

Once you have set up the code and run your bot, it will start logging deleted messages in the specified channel.
