## Documentation
If you want to dive fully into NestJS Telegraf then don't waste your time in this dump, check out the [documentation site](https://nestjs-telegraf.vercel.app).

## Installation

```bash
$ npm i nestjs-telegraf telegraf
```

## Usage
Once the installation process is complete, we can import the `TelegrafModule` into the root `AppModule`:
```typescript
import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { TelegrafModule } from 'nestjs-telegraf';
import { AppUpdate } from './app.update';

@Module({
  imports: [
    TelegrafModule.forRoot({
      token: 'TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN',
    }),
  ],
  providers: [AppUpdate],
})
export class AppModule {}
```

Then create `app.update.ts` file and add some decorators for handling Telegram bot API updates:

```typescript
import {
  Update,
  Start,
  Help,
  On,
  Hears,
  Context,
} from 'nestjs-telegraf';
import { AppService } from './app.service';
import { Context } from './context.interface';

@Update()
export class AppUpdate {
  constructor(private readonly appService: AppService)

  @Start()
  async startCommand(ctx: Context) {
    await ctx.reply('Welcome');
  }

  @Help()
  async helpCommand(ctx: Context) {
    await ctx.reply('Send me a sticker');
  }

  @On('sticker')
  async onSticker(ctx: Context) {
    await ctx.reply('👍');
  }

  @Hears('hi')
  async hearsHi(ctx: Context) {
    await ctx.reply('Hey there');
  }
}
```

## Telegraf instance access
If you want to use `Telegraf` instance directly, you can use `@InjectBot` for that.
```typescript
import { Injectable } from '@nestjs/common';
import { InjectBot } from 'nestjs-telegraf';
import { Telegraf } from 'telegraf';
import { TelegrafContext } from '../common/interfaces/telegraf-context.interface.ts';

@Injectable()
export class EchoService {
  constructor(@InjectBot() private bot: Telegraf<TelegrafContext>) {}
  ...
}
```
