getting partials for reactions when only ID is guaranteed

I just saw this in the d.js docs

WARNING Partial data is only ever guaranteed to contain an ID! Do not assume any property or method to work when dealing with a partial structure!

How for partial reactions, how do we make that work when regular emojis dont have an ID (unless I'm mistaken about that)

Partial reactions may not have the count reaction.emoji is never partial

Thanks. I'm still learning about partials, but does this mean that if my bot restarts, users should still be able to react to a message and the proper code will trigger? For example, I have this code:

if (reaction.partial) {
        try {
            await reaction.fetch();
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Something went wrong when fetching the message: ', error);
            return;
        }
    }

if (currentEmoji === '🚩' && isFirstMessage && message.reference === null) {
...

if (reaction.partial) {
        try {
            await reaction.fetch();
        } catch (error) {
            console.error('Something went wrong when fetching the message: ', error);
            return;
        }
    }

if (currentEmoji === '🚩' && isFirstMessage && message.reference === null) {
...

But when the bot restarts, the reactions don't trigger the code. Do I need to replace something with reaction.emoji?

Fetching the reaction only gets the reaction.count If you need the message, you should be doing await reaction.message.fetch() instead

got it. Can i also get the user that made the reaction with reaction.user.fetch()?

reaction.user isn’t a thing user is provided as a separate parameter It’s never partial in this event
