How do I get the bot to respond to DM messages that are written to it from the user?

I still can't find an example where there is an event that would trigger whenever a user writes a message to a bot in the DM

for a chat on the server, it is clear that there is a message Create, but it is not called if the user writes a message to the DM The bot has shared all the rights in the console and also here is its config: 
const client = new Client
({
  intents: 
  [
    IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageTyping,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessageReactions,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessageTyping,
  ],
  partials: ['MESSAGE', 'CHANNEL', 'REACTION']
});
const client = new Client
({
  intents: 
  [
    IntentsBitField.Flags.Guilds,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMembers,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.MessageContent,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.GuildMessageTyping,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessages,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessageReactions,
    IntentsBitField.Flags.DirectMessageTyping,
  ],
  partials: ['MESSAGE', 'CHANNEL', 'REACTION']
});
by the way, he does not react to the message at all, as I understand it, it was cut out of version 14? 
client.on('message',(message) =>
{
  console.log("message!");
});
client.on('message',(message) =>
{
  console.log("message!");
});
this does not work either on the server in the chat or in the DM chat with the bot

client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => 
{
  console.log("message!");
});
client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => 
{
  console.log("message!");
});
this only works on the server in chats and where to get them?

when sending a message to the DM, message does not appear in the console! the token of the bot in the studio is here, I removed it so that I didn't have to restart it later

is there any other library needed here? or should I add something to the constant? 
const {Client, IntentsBitField} = require('discord.js');
const {Client, IntentsBitField} = require('discord.js');
before that when it was like this: 
  partials: ['MESSAGE', 'CHANNEL', 'REACTION']
  partials: ['MESSAGE', 'CHANNEL', 'REACTION']
there was no mistake but it didn't lead to anything working BIG THANKS!
