# Events

Discord.Short comes with special events. These include:

* `MONGOCONNECT` -  When bot connects to MongoDB
* `IDLEPING` -  Whenever the Heroku anti-idle pings the server
* `ANTIIDLEREADY` -  When the anti-idle dummy server is online

you can add a function to an event like this:

```javascript
ds.on('EVENT', function() {
    // callback
});
```

you can also add Discord.js events by using the `bot` object:

```javascript
ds.bot.on('EVENT', function() {
    // callback
});
```
