Fetch channel id using discord.py-CodePudding

I am trying to make a discord bot which will send the channel id in response to a command. For example, if I type the command '$channel' this bot will return the channel id of the channel where I send the command.

I have the following so far (command prefix already set to '$'):

'''

client.command(name = 'channel')
    async def channel(ctx):
       await ctx.send(#not sure how to return channel id)

'''

It feels like there's a simple solution to this but I have not been able to figure it out.

CodePudding user response：

It's simple:

@client.command(name = 'channel')
async def channel(ctx):
    await ctx.send(ctx.channel.id)

ctx stores many information - the user who used the command, server, channel, etc. (check all). After getting the channel object you can get the id.
