awaitReactions(
options?: AwaitReactionsOptions = {}
) : Promise<Collection<Snowflake | string, MessageReaction>>

Similar to createReactionCollector but in promise form. Resolves with a collection of reactions that pass the specified filter.

Examples:
// Create a reaction collector
const filter = (reaction, user) => reaction.emoji.name === '👌' && user.id === 'someId'
message.awaitReactions({ filter, time: 15_000 })

collector.on('collect', i => console.log(`Collected ${i.customId}`));
collector.on('end', collected => console.log(`Collected ${collected.size} items`));
