Installation

$ npm i nestjs-telegraf telegraf

Usage

Once the installation process is complete, we can import the TelegrafModule into the root AppModule:

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { TelegrafModule } from 'nestjs-telegraf';

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

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

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');
  }
}
