Discord bot not responding/reacting to anything (JS)

So I am new to the world of discord bots and wanted to try myself on this new challenge. I got the foundation running after watching a few tutorials and reading a few posts but now my problem is that the bot doesn't react to anything after starting up...

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const { token } = require('./config.json');

const intents = new Discord.Intents('GUILDS', 'GUILDS_MESSAGES');
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents });

const prefix = '-';

const fs = require('fs');

client.commands = new Discord.Collection();

const commandFiles = fs
  .readdirSync('./commands/')
  .filter((file) => file.endsWith('.js'));
for (const file of commandFiles) {
  const command = require(`./commands/${file}`);

  client.commands.set(command.name, command);
}

client.once('ready', () => {
  console.log('Ready!');
});

client.on('message', (message) => {
  console.log('made it!');
  if (!message.content.startsWith(prefix) || message.author.bot) return;

  const args = message.content.slice(prefix.length).split(/ +/);
  const command = args.shift().toLowerCase();

  if (command === 'ping') {
    client.commands.get('ping').execute(message, args);
  }
});

client.login(token);

All it does is displaying: 'Ready!' in the console. After that, it doesn't react to anything anymore. Not on discord and not in the console.

It might be because you set up Intents the wrong way.

Try and replace:

const Discord = require('discord.js');

const intents = new Discord.Intents('GUILDS', 'GUILDS_MESSAGES');
const client = new Discord.Client({ intents });

with:

const { Client, Intents } = require('discord.js');
const client = new Client({
    intents: [
       Intents.FLAGS.GUILDS,
       Intents.FLAGS.GUILD_MESSAGES,
    ]
});

Also, use messageCreate instead of message
