Discord.js How do i check if a channel is available to everyone

I want to check if a channel is available (at least to view) to everyone, is there a way to do this?

I've been looking around for a while now and cannot find anything.

Thanks!

A GuildChannel has a permissionsFor() method, which can be used to check the permissions of a user/role in the channel.
To check permissions for @everyone, access the RoleManager.everyone property. (guild.roles.everyone):

// This example assumes that the channel is a guild channel.
client.on("message", (message) => {

  const channel = message.channel,
    guild = channel.guild,
    everyone = guild.roles.everyone;

  // see: https://discord.js.org/#/docs/main/stable/class/Permissions?scrollTo=s-FLAGS
  if (channel.permissionsFor(everyone).has("VIEW_CHANNEL")) {
    console.log("@everyone can view channel!");
  } else {
    console.log("@everyone cannot view channel!");
  }

});
