Discord.JS roleCreate event

Question

client.on("roleCreate", role => {
  const channel = role.guild.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.name === "welcome");
  const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("DEFAULT")
    .setDescription(`A new role has been created\nPermissions List: ${role.permissions}`)
    channel.send(embed)
});

I am trying out different events from the Discord.JS Docs, however, when I came across the roleCreate event, I tried it out and when I create a new role, it works. But for the role.permissions ; I am not quite sure why I'm getting [object Object] . How could I possibly fix this?

That's because role.permissions is an object:

https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Permissions

Use the .toArray() method combined with join() :

client.on("roleCreate", role => {
  const channel = role.guild.channels.cache.find(ch => ch.name === "welcome");
  const perms = role.permissions.toArray().join("\n");
  const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed()
    .setColor("DEFAULT")
    .setDescription(`A new role has been created\nPermissions List:\n${perms}`)
    channel.send(embed)
});

To get it from CREATE_INSTANT_INVITE into Create Instant Invite

const perms = role.permissions.toArray().map(e => {
   const words = e.split("_").map(x => x[0] + x.slice(1).toLowerCase());
   return words.join(" ");
}).join("\n");
