🎭 Reactions

🎊 Multi events

There is 2 kinds of events here:

• MessageReactionAdd → when a reaction is added to a message
• MessageReactionDelete → when a reaction is removed from a message

Since we have 2 kinds of events, we can no longer simply put them in ./sources/modules/<module_name>/channels, we need to specify which of the 2 events is to be used. To do this, we add an extension to the end of the file:

• add → to handle MessageReactionAdd
• remove → to handle MessageReactionDelete

⎯ Example for each classes replace <module_name> by the name of your module

• add → ./sources/modules/<module_name>/reactions/add.js
• remove → ./sources/modules/<module_name>/channels/remove.js

🤔 "MessageReaction"

MessageReaction is an object with several data and methods, you should read discord.js documentation to see how to work with MessageReaction.

• https://discord.js.org/docs/packages/discord.js/14.19.3/MessageReaction:Class

➕ MessageReactionAdd

Has two arguments reaction who is an instance of MessageReaction and user who is an instance of User.

async function parse(reaction, user)
{
	console.log(message.author.username, "reacted with", reaction)
}

module.exports = {
	parse,
	conditions: [],
	any_guild: false,
	dm: false,
	allow_bots: false
}

➖ MessageReactionRemove

Has two arguments reaction who is an instance of MessageReaction and user who is an instance of User.

async function parse(reaction, user)
{
	console.log("reaction of", message.author.username, "has been removed", reaction)
}

module.exports = {
	parse,
	conditions: [],
	any_guild: false,
	dm: false,
	allow_bots: false
}

🖥️ Methods and parameters

⎯ Exports

At the bottom of the file we have exports, which includes several important elements.

module.exports = {
	parse,
	conditions: [],
	any_guild: false,
	dm: false,
	allow_bots: false
}

• parse → method to handle the event
• conditions → list of methods to check if reaction and user has the right conditions
• any_guild → if false, the command can be executed only on the main guild
• dm → if true, we can use this command in direct messages
• allow_bots → if false, it will ignore events when the user is a bot
