Methods

AddReactionAsync(IEmote, RequestOptions)

Adds a reaction to this message.

Task AddReactionAsync(IEmote emote, RequestOptions options = null)

Parameters

emote IEmote

The emoji used to react to this message.

options RequestOptions

The options to be used when sending the request.

Returns

Task

A task that represents the asynchronous operation for adding a reaction to this message.

Examples

The following example adds the reaction, 💕, to the message.

await msg.AddReactionAsync(new Emoji("\U0001f495"));
See Also

GetReactionUsersAsync(IEmote, int, RequestOptions, ReactionType)

Gets all users that reacted to a message with a given emote.

IAsyncEnumerable<IReadOnlyCollection<IUser>> GetReactionUsersAsync(IEmote emoji, int limit, RequestOptions options = null, ReactionType type = ReactionType.Normal)

Parameters

emoji IEmote

The emoji that represents the reaction that you wish to get.

limit int

The number of users to request.

options RequestOptions

The options to be used when sending the request.

type ReactionType

The type of the reaction you wish to get users for.

Returns

IAsyncEnumerable<IReadOnlyCollection<IUser>>

Paged collection of users.

Examples

The following example gets the users that have reacted with the emoji 💕 to the message.

var emoji = new Emoji("\U0001f495");
var reactedUsers = await message.GetReactionUsersAsync(emoji, 100).FlattenAsync();

Remarks

important

The returned collection is an asynchronous enumerable object; one must call FlattenAsync<T>(IAsyncEnumerable<IEnumerable<T>>) to access the users as a collection.

warning

Do not fetch too many users at once! This may cause unwanted preemptive rate limit or even actual rate limit, causing your bot to freeze!

This method will attempt to fetch the number of reactions specified under limit. The library will attempt to split up the requests according to your limit and MaxUserReactionsPerBatch. In other words, should the user request 500 reactions, and the MaxUserReactionsPerBatch constant is 100, the request will be split into 5 individual requests; thus returning 5 individual asynchronous responses, hence the need of flattening.
