Installation

npm i lenabot

Launch

The bot requires some environment variables. Here is a list of them:
TOKEN – bot token from @BotFather
DBURI – URI-string for connection to PSQL in format postgres://<USER>:<PASSWORD>@<HOST>/<DATABASE>:<PORT>

Instead of the environment you can set launch parameters in a file config.toml.

After setup the environment run

npx lenabot

If everything went well, you will see something like this in the console:

> lenabot@1.2.0 start
> node index.js

Bot @eslenabot started.
> _

Control

After the launch, there are available commands stop & reload for safe stop and restart respectively.

Usage

1. Send the message with one of the supported type
2. Reply to it with a command /on + the string on which you wanted to set the trigger (e.g. /on !rules)
3. If success, bot will answer that the trigger has been added, as well as offer to edit it by an inline button
4. Now, when a new message containing that string, bot will send a message that duplicates the one you replied to with the /on command
5. To trigger when someone enters/leaves the chat, send a command /onjoin / /onleft without parameters replying to the message
6. If the message is text or includes caption, it can contain some patterns that replaced with the corresponding values:
   • {chat} – title of the chat
   • {chatid} – Telegram ID of the chat
   • {chatname} – username of the chat, if there is
   • {name} – first name of the triggering message sender
   • {fullname} – first name and last name of the sender
   • {mention} – first name of the sender linked to them
   • {username} – username of the sender if there is (without @)
   • {user} – username with @ or linked first name to the sender
   • {userid} – Telegram ID of the sender
   • {date} – localized current date without time
   • {time} – localized current time
   • {datetime} – localized current date with time
   • {message} – text of the triggering message
   • {messid} – ID of the triggering message
