There are many good packages for creating Telegram bots in Node.js environment but some of them don't have typings (if we want to use TypeScript as a main syntax), some of them outdated and probably overloaded a bit.
I want to keep this package as small as possible - to have a possibility to use it as Telegram API, but not as framework for creating bots.
It will be useful for:
- Creating some telegram notifiers, alerts, etc. where you don't need to listen updates, have some input state.
- Creating your own framework - this package can be used as simple API layer.
- You can use telegram API typings for all your purposes.
Simple usage:
import { TelegramAPI } from '@alximicus/simple-node-telegram-bot-api';
const myTgAPI = new TelegramAPI('your_bot_token');
myTgAPI.getMe().then(({ result }) => {
console.log(result); // Telegram.User object
});
myTgAPI.sendMessage({
chat_id: 123456789,
text: `Hello, it's me, your alert!`,
});NPM:
npm i @alximicus/simple-node-telegram-bot-api
Yarn:
yarn add @alximicus/simple-node-telegram-bot-api
