botgram


[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.

~~~ js
const botgram = require("botgram")
const bot = botgram("")

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

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."))
