Installation

npm i --save messaging-api-telegram

or

yarn add messaging-api-telegram

Usage

Initialize

const { TelegramClient } = require('messaging-api-telegram');

// get accessToken from telegram [@BotFather](https://telegram.me/BotFather)
const client = new TelegramClient('12345678:AaBbCcDdwhatever');

Error Handling

messaging-api-telegram uses axios as HTTP client. We use axios-error package to wrap API error instances for better formatting error messages. Directly console.log on the error instance will return formatted message. If you'd like to get the axios request, response, or config, you can still get them via those keys on the error instance.

client.getWebhookInfo().catch((error) => {
  console.log(error); // formatted error message
  console.log(error.stack); // error stack trace
  console.log(error.config); // axios request config
  console.log(error.request); // HTTP request
  console.log(error.response); // HTTP response
});

API Reference

All methods return a Promise.

Debug Tips

Log requests details

To enable default request debugger, use following DEBUG env variable:

DEBUG=messaging-api-telegram

If you want to use custom request logging function, just define your own onRequest:

const client = new TelegramClient({
  accessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN,
  onRequest: ({ method, url, headers, body }) => {
    /* */
  },
});

Test

Point requests to your dummy server

To avoid sending requests to real Telegram server, specify origin option when constructing your client:

const { TelegramClient } = require('messaging-api-telegram');

const client = new TelegramClient({
  accessToken: ACCESS_TOKEN,
  origin: 'https://mydummytestserver.com',
});

Warning: Don't do this on production server.

Manual Mock with Jest

create __mocks__/messaging-api-telegram.js in your project root:

// __mocks__/messaging-api-telegram.js
const jestMock = require('jest-mock');
const { TelegramClient } = require.requireActual('messaging-api-telegram');

module.exports = {
  TelegramClient: {
    connect: jest.fn(() => {
      const Mock = jestMock.generateFromMetadata(
        jestMock.getMetadata(TelegramClient)
      );
      return new Mock();
    }),
  },
};

Then, mock messaging-api-telegram package in your tests:

// __tests__/mytest.spec.js
jest.mock('messaging-api-telegram');
