Reacting to a specific user ID with an emoji in discord.js

I've been looking everywhere for an explanation, even reading the discord.js docs but nothing. Does anyone know how to react to a specific user id's message in discord.js?

You can get any message through the MessageManager.cache, or using MessageManager.fetch() if the message is not cached. Fetching the message is a lot more restricting since you can only fetch the last 100 messages in the channel.

From there, you can find/filter the message(s) you want by looking at their author property.

// <channel> is a placeholder for the channel object you'd like to search

// get every cached message by a user in one channel
<channel>.messages.cache.filter(({ author }) => author.id === 'ID Here') 

<channel>.messages.fetch({ limit: 100 }).then((messages) => {
 // same thing, but with uncached messages
 messages.filter(({ author }) => author.id === 'ID Here');

Each GuildMember also has a lastMessage property if that could come in handy for you.

// <guild> is a placeholder for the guild object you'd like to search

// get the user's last message
guild.member('ID Here').lastMessage;
