Updating documentation for receiving partial messageReactionRemove event
I spent a good deal of time trying to figure out why I was receiving partial events for adding reactions to uncached messages, but not receiving events for removal.
Example:
Start the bot, then react to a message. The
messageReactionAdd event is triggered and a partial reaction object is received, along with a non-partial user object.
vs.
React to a message, then start the bot. Removing the reaction then does not trigger the messageReactionRemove event.
This can be reproduced using the guide code for receiving partials and following the steps above.
I found the solution in this issue page, but I disagree with the final post in the thread suggesting it's common sense that Partials.User is needed to detect removals, because:
- messageReactionAdd is emitted perfectly fine without it
- The guide page about recieving reactions on uncached messages seems to imply you only need Message, Channel, and Reaction partials to receive both reaction events
- The code from the 'guide' repo linked above includes a section to handle messageReactionRemove, but does not contain any references to Partials.User
I'm deeply sorry if this is the wrong place or way to go about asking this, but is there a reason this quirk is not mentioned in the docs or in the example code?
