[FEATURE] Possible to add emoji reaction information from messages?

[tlcameron3]

Would it be possible to add information regarding the reactions on a message? This may require adding an extra attribute that includes every reaction done, and who reacted with it. This piece of information would be useful, I wonder why it was decided to leave it omitted from this project so far.

I will look into it.

It's omitted because I rarely use reaction and it never comes to my mind when I develop this tool.

Emojis are for many a vital part of text communications these days, so thats pretty important imho. UTF-8 should support it out of the box.

Emojis in the message are supported at the beginning of this project. The missing peice is the emoji in reactions.

Aha, never mind me then. :)

If you ever find any bugs related to emojis, feel free to open another issue for that.

Same implementation timeline with #69.

We now know where to find the related data from the database. The next step will be to include it in the template.

Here comes the problem... I have no idea on how to display them. I am bad at frontend and UI/UX.

Also, the #79 is still in the blocking state, and I don't have much time for development now.

I managed to solve this problem by creating an alternative script in node.js. I used your WhatsApp-Chat-Exporter to export the conversations in .json and from there I searched the database and cross-referenced the information.

It worked very well! But unfortunately I don't know how to do this in Python to add to the project.

Here an example from the format of .json i got:

"559105": { "from_me": false, "timestamp": 1712450860, "time": "00:47", "media": false, "key_id": "3A4AACJJKAE7500D7879", "meta": false, "data": "good morning!", "sender": "551154774544", "safe": false, "mime": null, "reply": "ALKE15BAF55LA3124C", "quoted_author": "551120054578", "quoted_data": "Hi Group, i'm a new user.", "caption": null, "thumb": null, "sticker": false, "reactions": [ { "id": "👍", "timestamp": 1712450910000, "senderId": "551120054578" } ] },

I also added the "quoted_author" information to the .json containing the number of the user who had the message mentioned. This helped me a lot to develop the logic of my project.
