Answer 1

I've made changes to your code.

I hope it'll help you!

const Discord = require("discord.js");
const client = new Discord.Client();


client.on('ready', () => {
	console.log('ready');
});


client.on('message', message => {
	var bean = message.guild.emojis.find(emoji => emoji.name == 'bean');
	// By guild id 
	if(message.guild.id == 'your guild id') {
	if(bean) {
    		if(message.content.startsWith("<:bean:" + bean.id + ">")) {
    			message.react(bean.id);
    		}
    	}
}
});

Answer 2

I never used discord.js so I may be completely wrong

from the warning I'd say you need to do something like

client.emojis.find(emoji => emoji.name === "bean") 

Plus after looking at the Discord.js Doc it seems to be the way to go. BUT the docs never say anything about client.emojis.find("name", "bean") being wrong

Answer 3

Please check out the switching to v12 discord.js guide

v12 introduces the concept of managers, you will no longer be able to directly use collection methods such as Collection#get on data structures like Client#users. You will now have to directly ask for cache on a manager before trying to use collection methods. Any method that is called directly on a manager will call the API, such as GuildMemberManager#fetch and MessageManager#delete.

In this specific situation, you need to add the cache object to your expression:

var bean = message.guild.emojis.cache?.find(emoji => emoji.name == 'bean');

Answer 4

In case anyone like me finds this while looking for an answer, in v12 you will have to add cache in, making it look like this:

var bean = message.guild.emojis.cache.find(emoji => emoji.name == 'bean');

rather than:

var bean = message.guild.emojis.find(emoji => emoji.name == 'bean');
