Way to check if a channel exists

Question

module.exports.run = async (bot, message, args) => {

    let ticketreason = args[1];
    let ticketname = \"ticket\" + ticketreason;

    message.guild.createChannel         


        

Answer 1

You can use .channels, which returns a collection of GuildChannels, from this collection you can use .exists() to check if the channel already exists in the guild.

So something like this:

if (message.guild.channels.exists('name', ticketname)) { //checks if there in an item in the channels collection that corresponds with the supplied parameters, returns a boolean
    message.reply(`The ${ticketname} channel already exists in this guild.`).catch(console.error);
    return; //prevents the rest of the code from being executed
}

// Code that creates the channel {ticketname}...
