Methods

impl Channel

fn create_reaction<M, R>(&self, message_id: M, reaction_type: R) -> Result<()> where
    M: Into<MessageId>,
    R: Into<ReactionType>, 

React to a Message with a custom Emoji or unicode character.

Message::react may be a more suited method of reacting in most cases.

Requires the Add Reactions permission, if the current user is the first user to perform a react with a certain emoji.

fn delete(&self) -> Result<()>

Deletes the inner channel.

fn delete_message<M: Into<MessageId>>(&self, message_id: M) -> Result<()>

Deletes a Message given its Id.

Refer to Message::delete for more information.

Requires the Manage Messages permission, if the current user is not the author of the message.

fn delete_reaction<M, R>(
    &self,
    message_id: M,
    user_id: Option<UserId>,
    reaction_type: R
) -> Result<()> where
    M: Into<MessageId>,
    R: Into<ReactionType>, 

Deletes the given Reaction from the channel.

Note: Requires the Manage Messages permission, if the current user did not perform the reaction.

fn edit_message<F, M>(&self, message_id: M, f: F) -> Result<Message> where
    F: FnOnce(CreateMessage) -> CreateMessage,
    M: Into<MessageId>, 

Edits a Message in the channel given its Id.

Message editing preserves all unchanged message data.

Refer to the documentation for CreateMessage for more information regarding message restrictions and requirements.

fn message<M: Into<MessageId>>(&self, message_id: M) -> Result<Message>

Gets a message from the channel.

Requires the Read Message History permission.

use serenity::model::MessageId;

let id = MessageId(81392407232380928);

    limit: Option<u8>,
    after: Option<U>
) -> Result<Vec<User>> where
    M: Into<MessageId>,
    R: Into<ReactionType>,
    U: Into<UserId>, 

Gets the list of Users who have reacted to a Message with a certain Emoji.

The default limit is 50 - specify otherwise to receive a different maximum number of users. The maximum that may be retrieve at a time is 100, if a greater number is provided then it is automatically reduced.
