discord.js v14 create channel

Question

I try to create a channel but i always have an error. I don't find how to fix it.

Don't pay attention to the "req[0]." in "code" it comes from the database, no link with the problem because it works in v13

"It looks like your post is mostly code; please add some more details." I don't know what can I have for more details. haha.

Sorry, English is not my native langage.

error :

        throw new DiscordAPIError.DiscordAPIError(data, "code" in data ? data.code : data.error, status, method, url, requestData);
              ^

You can't set the type of the channel using a string anymore, you have to use the new ChannelType enum. You can import it from the discord.js library, and once you've done that, creating a channel would look something like this:

guild.channels.create({
    name: "hello",
    type: ChannelType.GuildText,
    parent: cat[0].ID,
    // your permission overwrites or other options here
});

Also make sure that all of your arguments are being passed in only one object, and the name isn't a separate argument.
