filter reactions from specific roles or permissions

I want to make the command work only if the user who reacts has a specific role or permission

I know I should use a filter but, I don't know-how this is the filter that I use

  const approveFilter = (reaction, user) => reaction.emoji.name === '✅' ;

To check if a user has a role, you can use the GuildMemberRoleManager.cache collection. To check if the user has a permission, you can use the GuildMember.hasPermission() method.

Both of these require a GuildMember object, although the filter function passes a User as the parameter (please see this post to learn the difference). So, the first step will be to convert the User to a GuildMember using the Guild.member() function.

Luckily, we can access the guild object from the reaction parameter!

const approveFilter = (reaction, user) =>
 reaction.emoji.name === '✅' && // check emoji name
 reaction.message.guild.member(user).roles.cache.has('Role ID') && // check if they have a role
 reaction.message.guild.member(user).hasPermission('Permission Flag'); // check if they have a permission
