I'm trying to add a Global Variable (server) that contains my guild's ID, then I could use, for example: const channel_NAME = server.channels.cache.get('MY CHANNEL ID'); in the top of the code to define all my channels, instead of: member.guild.roles.cache.get('MY ROLE ID'); in every function.

I did it, but this error is returning to me:

const channel_boi_salve = server.channels.cache.get('MY CHANNEL ID');  
TypeError: Cannot read property 'channels' of undefined

My code is:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const bot = new Discord.Client();
const config = require('./config.json');
const fs = require('fs');
// Guild ID
const server = bot.guilds.cache.get("MY GUILD ID");
// Channels (channel_NAME)
const channel_boi_salve = server.channels.cache.get('MY CHANNEL ID');

I'm new to JavaScript so I would appreciate it if someone could explain in detail how to do it.

You need to put this code in the client.on("ready"...) section of your code, because the client has not yet connected to the discord api, so of course, the servers/channels are undefined.

  • I tried this, but with this method I can use the server variable only in client.on("ready") function. – Pedro Henrique Aug 01 '20 at 20:44
  • that's what global variables are for. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33659398/javascript-use-variable-outside-a-function-issue – Levi_OP Aug 01 '20 at 20:46
  • I tried this too, I put "const server;" in the top of the code, then "server = bot.guilds..." inside "bot.on("ready"...)" and the "channels consts" after the key "bot.on("ready"){ ... }); const channel_Name = server .channels...". And I have the same error, "Cannot read property 'channels' of undefined". – Pedro Henrique Aug 01 '20 at 20:59
