I have client assigned via const in other dirs.

It is pretty clear that the 'client' object is 'not defined'. It is pointed out in the very first line of the error message.

What is the 'client' object?

i can see that, yes. Im just unsure of where to go with that. I don't know what the 'client' object is. I'm new to JS and still figuring stuff out but i learn best by reverse-engineering and once i know why and what does what i don't forget.

Ah, so the code is not yours. You need to go back to the source to figure that out.

The error message you are seeing is a ReferenceError, which is indicating that the Client object is not defined in the current scope of your code.

It seems that you are trying to create an instance of a Client object, but the Client class has not been imported or defined in your code.

It looks like you are trying to use a discord.js package but not importing it. Make sure you have discord.js package installed in your project and import it at the top of your file like this:
const Discord = require('discord.js');

and then use it to create a client instance
const client = new Discord.Client();

Also make sure you are connected to Discord server and logged in with your bot token

client.login('your_token')

Also, to avoid the error you can change
new Client('message'
to
client.on('message'
