Collecting Reactions

D++ comes with many useful helper classes, but amongst these is something called dpp::collector. Collector is a template which can be specialised to automatically collect objects of a pre-determined type from events for a specific interval of time. Once this time period is up, or the class is otherwise signalled, a method is called with the complete set of collected objects.

In the example below we will use it to collect all reactions on a message.

#include <dpp/dpp.h>
/* To create a collector we must derive from dpp::collector. As dpp::collector is a complicated template,
* various pre-made forms exist such as this one, reaction_collector.
*/
class react_collector : public dpp::reaction_collector {
public:
/* Collector will run for 20 seconds */
react_collector(dpp::cluster* cl, snowflake id) : dpp::message_collector(cl, 20, id) { }
/* On completion just output number of collected reactions to as a message. */
virtual void completed(const std::vector<dpp::collected_reaction>& list) {
if (list.size()) {
owner->message_create(dpp::message(list[0].channel_id, "I collected " + std::to_string(list.size()) + " reactions!"));
} else {
owner->message_create(dpp::message("... I got nothin'."));
}
}
};
int main() {
/* Create bot */
dpp::cluster bot("token");
/* Pointer to reaction collector */
react_collector* r = nullptr;
/* Message handler */
bot.on_message_create([&](const dpp::message_create_t &event) {
/* If someone sends a message that has the text 'collect reactions!' start a reaction collector */
if (event.msg.content == "collect reactions!" && r == nullptr) {
/* Create a new reaction collector to collect reactions */
r = new react_collector(&bot, event.msg.id);
}
});
/* Start bot */
bot.start(false);
return 0;
}
