Introduction

adonisjs-grammy makes it easy for you to integrate AdonisJS with the Telegram Bot Framework -Grammy-, allowing you to implement Webhooks instead of using Long Polling. Learn more here and find out that Grammy doesn't support AdonisJS.

Installation

node ace add adonisjs-grammy

Next steps?

Adjust the env configuration.
Create a tunnel if running on a local machine (recomended: cloudflared or loophole)

Set the webhook to http://<tunneling-addres>/<bot-token> using the following API.

https://api.telegram.org/bot<bot-token>/setWebhook?url=http://<tunneling-address>/<bot-token>

Continue developing!

Usage

Open start/grammy.ts and do whatever you want, as documented in the official Grammy documentation.

Example

import grammy from 'adonisjs-grammy/services/main'

// handle the /start command
