# Handling Reactions
`disagreement` provides several ways to add, remove, and listen for message reactions.
## Adding & Removing Reactions
The easiest way to add a reaction is to use the helper method on a `Message` object. This is often done within a command context.
```python
# Inside a command function:
# ctx is a commands.CommandContext object
await ctx.message.add_reaction("👍")
```
You can also remove your own reactions.
```python
await ctx.message.remove_reaction("👍", client.user)
```
## Low-Level Control
For more direct control, you can use methods on the `Client` or `HTTPClient` if you have the channel and message IDs.
```python
# Using the client helper
await client.create_reaction(channel_id, message_id, "👍")
# Using the raw HTTP method
await client._http.create_reaction(channel_id, message_id, "👍")
```
Similarly, you can delete reactions and get a list of users who reacted.
```python
# Delete a specific user's reaction
await client.delete_reaction(channel_id, message_id, "👍", user_id)
# Get users who reacted with an emoji
users = await client.get_reactions(channel_id, message_id, "👍")
```
## Reaction Events
Your bot can listen for reaction events by using the `@client.on_event` decorator. The two main events are `MESSAGE_REACTION_ADD` and `MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVE`.
The event handlers for these events receive both a `Reaction` object and the `User` or `Member` who triggered the event.
```python
import disagreement
from disagreement import Reaction, User, Member
@client.on_event("MESSAGE_REACTION_ADD")
async def on_reaction_add(reaction: Reaction, user: User | Member):
# Ignore reactions from the bot itself
if client.user and user.id == client.user.id:
return
print(f"{user.username} reacted to message {reaction.message_id} with {reaction.emoji}")
@client.on_event("MESSAGE_REACTION_REMOVE")
async def on_reaction_remove(reaction: Reaction, user: User | Member):
print(f"{user.username} removed their {reaction.emoji} reaction from message {reaction.message_id}")
