Are you interested in a contribution for adding Reaction bots to Akairo?

I have a basic implementation of a ReactionHandler and Reaction that allow for Reaction “commands” to be written.

Similar to Commands, Inhibitors and Listeners, you add a ReactionHandler in your client constructor like this:

super({ ownerID: OWNER_ID, partials: ['MESSAGE', 'CHANNEL', 'REACTION'] });
this.reactionHandler = new ReactionHandler(this, { directory: 'src/reactions/' }).loadAll();

Notice that for reactions to old messages to work, you have to configure discord.js with at least the three partials listed above.

Then place a file like this log.js into src/reactions:

const Reaction = require("../struct/Reaction");
class LogReaction extends Reaction {
  constructor() {
    super('log-reactions', {});
  }
  exec(reaction, reactionType, user) {
    console.log(`User <@${user.id}> ${reactionType} ${reaction.emoji} to/from ${reaction.message.id}.`);
  }
}
module.exports = LogReaction;

I intend to add Inhibitors and possibly the ability to filter out reactions from bots, etc as is possible with Commands. I’m not currently planning on adding Cooldowns, Typing indication, Permissions, etc. I’m curious if folks are interested in a contribution like this and if it would be accepted as a contribution?

It’s not different. What it does is integrate doing so the same way that that Command and CommandHandler integrate listening for the message (and possibly messageUpdate) events.

I really want to add Inhibitors for reactions as well. As such I’m thinking of renaming Reaction to ReactionCommand and ReactionHandler to ReactionCommandHandler. Then We can have ReactionInhibitor and ReactionInhibitorHandler.

As an alternative, maybe Inhibitor and InhibitorHandler could be made more generic so they can inhibit Commands and Reactions.

@1Computer1 if you are interested in such a contribution, I’d love to know how you think this should be handled?
