Determining a Message's ChannelType

[DitchTurtL]

I would like to determine if a message is a DM or public channel message.

We get ChannelID with the message object, but I can't find a function or path back to Channel.ChannelType.
Is there a way to do this?

Fetch the channel using the Session and get it's type from there

I appreciate your experience. I was able to find the answer after reading your reply.
"Fetch" doesn't appear anywhere functional in the repo and was confusing in your response.
I've written a slightly more cohesive answer with proper capitalization and an example for folks that may not be as experienced with digging into library code.

Thanks a lot for the input.

Sorry, couldn't access discordgo docs when I wrote the answer and didn't remember the method off the top of my head

No worries, appreciate the reply.

We can call the Channel function on the local session variable in messageCreate(session, message).
That will return a reference to the channel where we can get (int)Type and compare to the ChannelType constant to determine the message type.

st, err := s.Channel(m.ChannelID)
st.Type != discordgo.ChannelTypeDM
