telegram-bot-nodejs v1.3.0

A Simple bot manager for telegram

Getting started

$ npm install telegram-bot-nodejs

$ yarn add telegram-bot-nodejs

First you will need a bot created with botFather and a chatId to send the messages

How to create a new bot\ How to get your chat id

Copy the bot token and your chat id

Start your bot here:

import syntax

import { TelegramBot } from "telegram-bot-nodejs";

const bot = new TelegramBot("your token here", "chatId here");

require syntax

const { TelegramBot } = require("telegram-bot-nodejs");

const bot = new TelegramBot("your token here", "chatId here");

The chatId is not mandatory but it's recommended to use. Otherwise you will have to send the chatId in every request

Callbacks on message

async function main() {
  await bot.onAnyMessage(async () => {
    await bot.sendMessage("Hello");
  });
}

main();

async function main() {
  //The first argument is the matching text for the callback to be executed
  //The second argument is the callback function
  await bot.onMessage("Hi", async () => {
    await bot.sendMessage("Hello");
  });
}

main();

Sending message

import TelegramBot from "telegram-bot-nodejs";

const bot = new TelegramBot("your token here", "chatId here");

async function sendMessage() {
  const response = await bot.sendMessage("Hello world");
  console.log(response);
}

sendMessage();

Sending message to another chat

If you want to send a message to another chat you can just add chatId in your request

import TelegramBot from "telegram-bot-nodejs";

const bot = new TelegramBot("your token here", "chatId here");

async function sendMessage() {
  const response = await bot.sendMessage("Hello world", {
    chatId: "your chatId here",
  });
  console.log(response);
}

sendMessage();
