botgram v2.2.0

Bots are special Telegram users controlled with an HTTP API. Botgram aims to expose the capabilities of this API with a very clear and minimal syntax, so you can create Telegram bots easily.

const botgram = require("botgram")
const bot = botgram("<auth token>")

bot.command("start", "help", (msg, reply) =>
  reply.text("To schedule an alert, do: /alert <seconds> <text>"))

bot.command("alert", (msg, reply, next) => {
  var [ seconds, text ] = msg.args(2)
  if (!seconds.match(/^\d+$/) || !text) return next()

  setTimeout(() => reply.text(text), Number(seconds) * 1000)
})

bot.command((msg, reply) =>
  reply.text("Invalid command."))
