Missing reaction events

[Avi0n]

Is it possible for nio to support m.reaction events? It would be nice to be able to have the bot react to messages as well as detect when users react to messages.

While reaction events aren't yet parsed and turned into a nice Python class, they can be accessed as an UnknownEvent.

@poljar Is this still the case? Was wondering if Mirage can add reactions in currently.

[poljar]

It is, I'm still stuck in crypto rewrite limbo.

For reference, sending a reaction is relatively easy even without explicit support

async def send_reaction_to_room(
    client: AsyncClient,
    room_id: str,
    message: str,
    event: RoomMessage,
):
    content = {
        "m.relates_to": {
            "rel_type": "m.annotation",
            "event_id": event.event_id,
            "key": message,
        }
    }

    await client.room_send(
        room_id,
        "m.reaction",
        content,
        ignore_unverified_devices=True,
    )
    
  #--------------------
  
  # ...
  await send_reaction_to_room(client, room_id, "👀", event)

@poljar Do you mind if this is something I take up?

[poljar]

No, I don't mind at all. Contributions as always are welcome.

[samyak-jain]

Thanks @poljar. I've made the PR #252. Let me know what you think when you get the time to check it out.

[poljar]

Reopening since #252 is about stickers and not about m.reaction events.
