get category name of channel

Is it possible to get the category name of a specific channel? I want to list channels for a web based auto complete and a category would be useful to display. Im currently using cached channels but with fetched channels .parent is as empty as without

It'd be <Channel>.parent.name, can you show the code you're working with?

ye, currently I have the following:

const channels = await ctr.useCache(`channels::${ctr["@"].server.id}`, () => ctr["@"].bot.execute(ctr["@"].server.discordId, (client, server) => {
                const guild = client.guilds.cache.find((guild) => guild.id === server)!,
                    channels = guild.channels.cache.filter((channel) => channel.type === ChannelType.GuildText && channel.permissionsFor(client.user)?.has(PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages))

                return channels.map((channel) => ({ id: channel.id, name: channel.name }))
            }), (t) => t(7.5).s())

const channels = await ctr.useCache(`channels::${ctr["@"].server.id}`, () => ctr["@"].bot.execute(ctr["@"].server.discordId, (client, server) => {
                const guild = client.guilds.cache.find((guild) => guild.id === server)!,
                    channels = guild.channels.cache.filter((channel) => channel.type === ChannelType.GuildText && channel.permissionsFor(client.user)?.has(PermissionFlagsBits.SendMessages))

                return channels.map((channel) => ({ id: channel.id, name: channel.name }))
            }), (t) => t(7.5).s())

when adding the raw channel to the results, looking at the results parentId (and therefore parent too) is null

Are you sure that channel has a parent? Is this for all channels?

It seems to do this for all channels, yes it has a parent
