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.

# Inside a command function:
# ctx is a commands.CommandContext object
await ctx.message.add_reaction("👍")

You can also remove your own reactions.

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.

# 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.

# 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.

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}")
