Transform a APIInteractionDataResolvedGuildMember into a GuildMember

Hello there, I am beginning with discord.js and typescript. To ensure type safety, i want to make sure that the object returned by a interaction.options.getMember() is a GuildMember and not a APIInteractionDataResolvedGuildMember in order to later perform various operations. So i've began to write a function to fetch the GuildMember if needed but APIInteractionDataResolvedGuildMember does not have a user property so i can't have the id for fetching... How should i deal with it ? Or can i safely assume that in the context of slash commands in guild i will always have a GuildMember object ? Here the function that i wrote :

export async function getMemberSafely(member : GuildMember | APIInteractionDataResolvedGuildMember| null , guild : Guild) : Promise<GuildMember | null> {
  if (!member) return null;
  if (member instanceof GuildMember) return member;

  try {
    const fetchedMember : GuildMember = await guild.members.fetch((member as APIInteractionDataResolvedGuildMember)?.user?.id); // Here is the problem
    return fetchedMember;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Erreur lors de la récupération d'un membre : ",error);
    return null;
    
  }
}

export async function getMemberSafely(member : GuildMember | APIInteractionDataResolvedGuildMember| null , guild : Guild) : Promise<GuildMember | null> {
  if (!member) return null;
  if (member instanceof GuildMember) return member;

  try {
    const fetchedMember : GuildMember = await guild.members.fetch((member as APIInteractionDataResolvedGuildMember)?.user?.id); // Here is the problem
    return fetchedMember;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Erreur lors de la récupération d'un membre : ",error);
    return null;
    
  }
}

Thanks !

:method: BaseInteraction#inCachedGuild @14.15.3 Indicates whether or not this interaction is both cached and received from a guild.

The easiest way to fix this would be to simply ensure that the interaction is from a cached guild with this typeguard, which will then narrow the typing for getMember() to specifically be a GuildMember structure and not raw data

Okay, and if the guild is not cached can i cache it manually ?

Do you have the Guilds intent?
