How to Retrieve Channel Name in String Format Using Channel ID in Discord.js

When working with Discord bots, you may occasionally run into a situation where you need to relay messages that include the names of channels or categories. However, it's not uncommon to see the channel names represented as numbers instead of text. This can be especially frustrating when you’re trying to integrate Discord with other platforms like Telegram. In this post, we'll explore how to get the channel name in a readable string format using the channel ID in Discord.js.

Understanding the Problem

In your code, the objective is to create a message that includes both the category and channel names, and then send that message to another platform – this case being Telegram. However, upon forwarding the message, the channel and category names appear as numbers, like this:

This representation is not user-friendly, and you want the names to appear as plain text instead. So, how do you achieve this?

The Solution: Using the name Property

The good news is that the solution is fairly straightforward: you can utilize the name property of the channel and its parent category. This will help you keep the message clean and user-friendly. Below is a step-by-step guide to resolve this issue.

Step 1: Retrieve the Channel by ID

First, you must obtain the channel object using its ID. Here's how you can do that:
