Get message updates

Receive real-time updates when messages or reactions change:

• streamUpdates() - updates for a single Message object
• streamUpdatesOn() - updates for multiple Message objects

• streamUpdatesOn() returns the complete list of monitored messages on each change

Method signature

These methods take the following parameters:

• streamUpdates()

  1message.streamUpdates() -> AsyncStream<MessageImpl> 

• streamUpdatesOn() (static)

  1MessageImpl.streamUpdatesOn(
  2    messages: [MessageImpl],
  3) -> AsyncStream<[MessageImpl]>

Input

Parameter	Required in streamUpdates()	Required in streamUpdatesOn()	Description
