TS2339: Property 'send' does not exist on type 'Channel'.

Just installed this lib and I’m getting TS2339: Property 'send' does not exist on type 'Channel'. I guess you need to update the types.

The Channel class does not have a send method, because categories and voice channels are also a child classes of the Channel class. When you’re certain you have a text channel you can cast it to a TextChannel like so:

(channel as TextChannel).send('hello!');

You have to import TextChannel from the discord.js library for it to work.

For further questions please come by the official Discord server.

the tutorial says this: https://discordjs.guide/popular-topics/common-questions.html#how-do-i-send-a-message-to-a-certain-channel I guess the tutorial is wrong in this case.

I think the casting solution is just a hack, not a proper solution or I am wrong?
