})

TelegrafContext.ask(
    question: { text: string; extra?: ExtraReplyMessage } | string,
    cancel?: ((ctx: TelegrafContext) => Promise<boolean> | boolean) | string | null,
    type: 'text' | 'number' | 'callback_query' = 'text',
    errorText: { text: string; extra?: ExtraReplyMessage } | string | null = null,
    filter?: (ctx: TelegrafContext) => Promise<boolean> | boolean
): Promise<TelegrafContext | null> // returns null on cancel

Simple Example

import Telegraf, { Markup } from "telegraf";
import TelegrafQuestion from "telegraf-question";

let username = 'user';

let bot = new Telegraf(<BOT_TOKEN>);
bot.use(TelegrafQuestion({
    cancelTimeout: 300000 // 5 min
}));

bot.action('change_username', async (ctx, next) => {
    ctx.answerCbQuery();
    let newUsername = await ctx.ask('Send new username:');
    if (newUsername === null) {
        return next();
    }
    username = newUsername.message.text;
    next();
});

bot.use((ctx) => {
    ctx.reply(`Hi ${username}.`, Markup.inlineKeyboard([
        [Markup.callbackButton('Change username', 'change_username')],
    ]).extra());
});

bot.launch();
