cd telega-bot
npm install
`

🕹 Usage

Import telega-bot module and create a new bot object:

`js
const TelegaBot = require('telega-bot');

const bot = new TelegaBot({
token: 'TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN', // Required. Telegram Bot API token.
polling: { // Optional. Use polling.
interval: 1000, // Optional. How often check updates (in ms).
timeout: 0, // Optional. Update polling timeout (0 - short polling).
limit: 100, // Optional. Limits the number of updates to be retrieved.
retryTimeout: 5000, // Optional. Reconnecting timeout (in ms).
proxy: 'http://username:password@yourproxy.com:8080' // Optional. An HTTP proxy to be used.
},
webhook: { // Optional. Use webhook instead of polling.
key: 'key.pem', // Optional. Private key for server.
cert: 'cert.pem', // Optional. Public key.
url: 'https://....', // HTTPS url to send updates to.
host: '0.0.0.0', // Webhook server host.
port: 443, // Server port.
maxConnections: 40 // Optional. Maximum allowed number of simultaneous HTTPS connections to the webhook for update delivery
},
allowedUpdates: [], // Optional. List the types of updates you want your bot to receive. Specify an empty list to receive all updates.
usePlugins: ['askUser'], // Optional. Use user plugins from pluginFolder.
pluginFolder: '../plugins/', // Optional. Plugin folder location.
pluginConfig: { // Optional. Plugin configuration.
// myPluginName: {
// data: 'my custom value'
// }
}
});
`

Or just:

`js
const TelegaBot = require('telega-bot');
const bot = new TelegaBot('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN');
`

Don't forget to insert your Telegram Bot API token key.

To start polling updates, use `bot.start()`.

`js
bot.on('text', (msg) => msg.reply.text(msg.text));

bot.start();
`

We just created echo bot!

🌱 Quick examples

Send text on /start or /hello command:

`js
bot.on(['/start', '/hello'], (msg) => msg.reply.text('Welcome!'));
`

When sticker received, reply back:

`js
bot.on('sticker', (msg) => {
return msg.reply.sticker('http://i.imgur.com/VRYdhuD.png', { asReply: true });
});
`

Sends photo on "show kitty" or "kitty" text message (using RegExp):

`js
bot.on(/(show\s)?kitty*/, (msg) => {
return msg.reply.photo('http://thecatapi.com/api/images/get');
});
`

Command with arguments /say :

`js
bot.on(/^\/say (.+)$/, (msg, props) => {
const text = props.match[1];
return bot.sendMessage(msg.from.id, text, { replyToMessage: msg.message_id });
});
`

When message was edited:

`js
bot.on('edit', (msg) => {
return msg.reply.text('I saw it! You edited message!', { asReply: true });
});
`

Note: msg.reply is a bot method shortcut, part of shortReply build-in plugin.

See more examples!

⏰ Events

Use `bot.on(, )` to handle all possible TelegaBot events.

For example, to catch a command, just add a slash:

`js
bot.on('/hello', (msg) => {
return bot.sendMessage(msg.from.id, Hello, ${ msg.from.first_name }!);
});
`

Also, you can catch multiple events:

`js
bot.on(['/start', 'audio', 'sticker'], msg => {
return bot.sendMessage(msg.from.id, 'Bam!');
});
`
