@puregram/markup

simple yet powerful markup system for puregram package

introduction

you all know how you need to provide parse_mode every time you send a message with a markdown or html, right? it might get a little boring after first few hundreds of times, so i present to you @puregram/markup!

example

const { format, bold, italic, code, hooks: formatHooks } = require('@puregram/markup')

const { Telegram } = require('puregram')

const telegram = Telegram.fromToken(process.env.TOKEN)

// we use hooks for this one
telegram.useHooks(formatHooks())

telegram.updates.on('message', (context) => {
  return context.send(
    format`hey! this ${bold('message')} is ${italic('formatted')} without ${code('parse_mode')}!`
  )
})

telegram.updates.startPolling()

installation

$ yarn add @puregram/markup
$ npm i -S @puregram/markup

usage

all of the functions except those that require two or more arguments can be called either via template strings or like basic functions

// template strings
bold`foo ${italic`bar`}`

// parentheses
bold(italic('bar'))

there's literally no distinction between them, however if you are going to do embedded markup, you should use template strings:

// ✅ works
bold`foo ${italic`bar`}`
bold`${italic`bar`}`
bold(italic('bar'))

// ❌ does not work
bold(`foo ${italic('bar')}`)
bold(`${italic('foo')}`)

the last one does not work simply because javascript compiles foo ${italic('bar')} into a single string which becomes 'foo [object Object]' soo yeah
