This is the first pass of the refactoring for the Channels and the clients. This is for you to see and comment if you're happy with the approach we have taken. We are going to add more refactorings and apply those to the rest of the entities.

Please fix linting and look at failing tests

@Ken473
Please copy over only the necessary logic changes into a new branch and open a new PR.
The changes here are convoluted and hidden within the linting - this is not acceptable practice. If large scale linting is required, it should be done as a separate commit. This makes logic changes easier to follow commit by commit instead of having to trawl through the 1450 lines of code you touched.

The formatting of the files is now also inconsistent with the project standard. Please use the linting tool included in the node dependencies - the command was included in the package.json - npm run lint:fix

You have also included committed multiple console.log statements throughout your code - an accidental commit occasionally is human - this level is sloppy. Please check the work you are adding with a diff tool or use git add -p to add your work in stages to prevent adding unnecessary lines.

Also, please include a message body and the ticket in your commit as well - not just a heading.
The body should explain why you are making the change. Poor commit messages make maintaining a codebase difficult - especially in a large scale API change.
