JS Discord Bot Get Role

I'm trying to get a role without using messages, like:

     const Discord = require('discord.js');
     const Bot = new Discord.Client();
     const Role = Discord.roles.find('name,'Exemple')

     Role.delete()

Is this possible to do that?

To get an specific role i use this code. Replace SERVER_ID with your server id and ROLE_NAME with the name of the role

const guild = client.guilds.cache.get("SERVER_ID");
const role = guild.roles.cache.find((r) => r.name === "ROLE_NAME");

console.log(`Found the role ${role.name}`);
console.log(`Found the role ${role.id}`);

const role = guild.roles.cache.get('role_id');

This seems to be working in the latest API version.

I tried with the posted solution but client.guilds.get was not recognized as a function:

UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: client.guilds.get is not a function at Client.

Checking the content of client.guilds I found 'cache' object:

GuildManager {
  cacheType: [Function: Collection],
  cache: Collection [Map] {
    '<discord server id>' => Guild {
      members: [GuildMemberManager],
      channels: [GuildChannelManager],
      (...)
     }
  }
}

The solution was:

const Discord = require('discord.js');
const client = new Discord.Client();

client.once('ready', () => {
    const myGuild = client.guilds.cache.get('<discord server id>');
    const myRole = myGuild.roles.cache.find(role => role.name === '<role name>');
    console.log(`Found the role ${myRole.name}`);
});

Using that way of Collection#find("key", "value") in Discord.JS is deprecated by the way, You should use Collection#find(Obj => Obj.key == "value") instead.

Guild doesn't work unless you have it set up on the server. People keep suggesting this but you have to already have infrastructure set up in your discord server.

Yes you can but you will need to have the guild id you want to get the role from. Also, you should put that part in the ready event.

const discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new discord.Client();

client.on("ready", () => {
    console.log("Bot online!");
    const guild = client.guilds.get("The_server_id");
    const role = guild.roles.find("name", "Your_role_name");

    console.log(`Found the role ${role.name}`);
})
