#Done using Cogs
#Example of simple back/delete/next buttons using reactions

@commands.command(name="do_stuff")
async def show_stuff(self, ctx, *args):

    message = await ctx.send("message") #stores message sent
    #adds reactions and calls react_check()
    await message.add_reaction("◀️")
    await message.add_reaction("❌")
    await message.add_reaction("▶️")
    await self.react_check(ctx, message)
    

async def react_check(self, ctx, message):
	# CHECK FUNCTION USED IN wait_for()
    def check(reaction, user):
    	#checks if the author of the command reacted 
        #and if the reaction is in the message he called
        return user == ctx.message.author and message.id == reaction.message.id

      
    # WAITS FOR USER REACTION
    try:
      	#returns a list with information once the author reacts
        reaction_info = await self.bot.wait_for("reaction_add", check=check, timeout=60)
        reaction = reaction_info[0] #gets just the emote
    except asyncio.TimeoutError:
        return #if user takes too long, stop working


    # WORKS WITH THE AUTHOR REACTION
    if str(reaction) == "❌":
    	await message.delete()
        
    elif str(reaction) == "◀️":
      	#do stuff...
        await message.remove_reaction(reaction, ctx.message.author) #remove reaction from the author
        await self.react_check(ctx, message) #call the function again
        
    #elif condition:
    	#do other stuff...
      
    else: #if it's not an expected emote, calls the function again
		await self.react_check(ctx, message)
        
    #the function will keep being called until a TimeoutError occurs
