EmojiToRole

A discord.js bot that assigns roles based on reactions to a message. It is inspired by Zira, a bot with similar functionality, but instead with a focus on ease of use.

The main features are:

• No other dependencies required
• Static configuration with a single file
• No privileged intents required
• Small code base
• Easy to maintain

Features

This bot offers two different modes of operation. The mode can be set independently for every message:

Disjoint (mutually exclusive)

• Makes sure that the member can only ever pick one of the given choices.
• Picking a different option removes the other.
• Message reactions get removed immediately.

Example: choosing a team

Independent

• Members can pick as many from the given choices as they like.
• All roles are kept and reactions stay.
• Removing the reaction causes the respective role(s) to be removed again.

Example: selecting alert roles

Setup

To run it simply install all dependencies (npm i) before using npm start.

Token

Provide your token to the token.mjs file.

Configuration

All messages to track and their respective settings go into the config.mjs file. The bot tracks reactions on a per-message basis. The configuration for a single message looks like this:

{
  message: '446409003136712726',
  channel: '414617785415630855',
  disjoint: false,
  reactions: [
    {
      emoji: '%F0%9F%A4%94', // Thinking emoji 🤔
      roles: ['1001065452472111134']
    }, {
      emoji: 'SelenHappy:901432850396639232', // Custom guild emoji
      roles: ['1001065583422492794']
    }
  ]
}

In order to add more messages, simply paste the Object above into the Array in config.mjs.

Key:

• message: ID of the message to track
• channel: ID of the channel the message is located in
• disjoint: Wether the bot runs in mutually exclusive (true) or independent (false) mode for this message
• reactions: The reactions to pay attention to and the role(s) they should grant
