Discord.js: how to get channel id using its name

I have channel name, and want to find its id, and send a message in there. I have tried using both

bot.channels.cache.get('name', 'channel name here');

and

bot.channels.find('name', 'channel name here');

but neither of them seem to work. find() returns an error "bot.channels.find is not a function", while cache.get() returns nothing. Help?

Also, I have not been able to find any similar question with a working answer in here.

EDIT: I learned that cache.get() requires the channel id, not its name. Still can't find out how to get channel id by its name though.

For v12:

bot.channels.cache.find(channel => channel.name === "channel_name_here");

<Collection>.find() takes in a callback where each value of the collection is given.

With the upper code it gives us each channel object and we check if the name of that channel equals "channel_name_here"
