Is there a way to get the id of a channel by finding it using it's name?

If there isn't. Should this work instead?

const channel = message.guild.channels.find('name', 'yara-audit-log')

const channel = message.guild.channels.find('name', 'yara-audit-log')

• What's your exact discord.js npm list discord.js and node node -v version? • Post the full error stack trace, not just the top part! • Show your code! • Explain what exactly your issue is. • Not a discord.js issue? Check out #useful-servers.

That find syntax hasnt be correct since like..... v11 find(channel => channel.name === 'yara-audit-log')

PAdventures•2y ago

i have no idea typo?

const { InteractionType, EmbedBuilder } = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
    name: 'interactionCreate',
    async execute(interaction) {
        if (!interaction.type === InteractionType.ApplicationCommand) return;
        const commands = interaction.client.slash_commands.get(interaction.commandName);
        if (!commands) return;
    
        try {
            await commands.execute(interaction);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(new Error(`An error occured when executing ${interaction.commandName}: `, error));
            const interactionErrorEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setColor('#ce3636')
            .setTitle('❌ | There was an error while executing this command.')
      -->   .setDescription(${error});
            await interaction.reply({ embeds: [interactionErrorEmbed], ephemeral: true });
        }
    }
}

const { InteractionType, EmbedBuilder } = require('discord.js');
module.exports = {
    name: 'interactionCreate',
    async execute(interaction) {
        if (!interaction.type === InteractionType.ApplicationCommand) return;
        const commands = interaction.client.slash_commands.get(interaction.commandName);
        if (!commands) return;
    
        try {
            await commands.execute(interaction);
        } catch (error) {
            console.error(new Error(`An error occured when executing ${interaction.commandName}: `, error));
            const interactionErrorEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
            .setColor('#ce3636')
            .setTitle('❌ | There was an error while executing this command.')
      -->   .setDescription(${error});
            await interaction.reply({ embeds: [interactionErrorEmbed], ephemeral: true });
        }
    }
}

this is line 16 .setDescription(${error});

No This isn't interactionCreate.js Oh nvm I see now

PAdventures•2y ago

it is

monbrey•2y ago

Yeah that's the error

PAdventures•2y ago

how do i fix error not make an error?

monbrey•2y ago

Seems like you meant to use a template literal?

PAdventures•2y ago

yes does the .setChannelOption covert the name of the channel into it;s id? so if i type #cheese in the option. and i use const cheese = interaction.options.getChannel('name') and i console.log(cheese). will it output #cheese or the id of #cheese? if it outputs #cheese can i do cheese.id to get the id? nvm i got it

monbrey•2y ago

It will output the whole channel object

Is there a way to get the id of a channel by finding it using it's name?
