Reactions

[maralorn]

Hey @TristanCacqueray, thx for the library. I am working on a matrix bot for receiving information about nixpkgs commits and merges.

One thing I would like very much would be to acknowledge user requests via reactions. Have you already had a look on how to add reactions to messages?

@maralorn you're welcome. It seems like reactions are not yet specified according to matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2677 . Best would be to look at existing room events containing reactions, and add the necessary type if needed in https://github.com/softwarefactory-project/matrix-client-haskell/blob/master/matrix-client/src/Network/Matrix/Events.hs#L20 . You might be able to test that like in https://github.com/softwarefactory-project/matrix-client-haskell/blob/master/matrix-client/test/Spec.hs#L57 .

For what its worth, here is a similar bot that forwards gerrit event, though it does not read room message: https://github.com/softwarefactory-project/gerritbot-matrix .
