- Combine Multiple Bots: Run and manage several bots from a single codebase, each with their individual or shared functionalities.
- Shared Logic: Easily reuse logic across different bots, making your code more DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself).
- Modularity: Break down complex bot functionalities into manageable pieces, ensuring clean and readable code.
- Scalability: As your bot ecosystem grows, tg-builder scales with you, making it effortless to add or modify existing bots.
By adopting the builder pattern, tg-builder ensures your bots are more maintainable, organized, and efficient.
Using npm:
npm install tg-builder
Using yarn:
yarn add tg-builder
Before you start, you need to create a configuration file named tg.json in your project's root. This file should contain the token and name of the bot you want to set up.
{ "bots": [ { "token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "name": "GreyewiRogueBot" }, { "token": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "name": "GreyewiRogueBot" } ] }
Replace xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with your actual bot tokens.
🛑 Remember, always keep your bot tokens secret and never expose them in publicly accessible places or repositories.
Begin by importing the essential modules:
import { BotsLoader, CommandBuilder, ActionBuilder } from 'tg-builder'
Leverage the CommandBuilder to define the commands for your bot:
const gameCommands = (botName: string) => new CommandBuilder(botName).setNewCommand('start', async (ctx) => { //... command logic here ... });
Utilize the ActionBuilder to define telegram callback actions:
const gameActions = (botName: string) => new ActionBuilder(botName) .setNewAction('new-game', async (ctx: any) => { //... action logic here ... });
Make use of BotsLoader to add your bot and get it running:
const loader = new BotsLoader(); loader.addBot(name, gameCommands, gameActions); loader.launch((err) => { if (!err) { console.log(`${name} is working`); } else { console.error(err); } });
Here's a glimpse of a bot providing a text-based RPG game experience:
import { BotsLoader, CommandBuilder, ActionBuilder } from 'tg-builder' const name = "GreyewiRogueBot" const gameCommands = (botName: string) => new CommandBuilder(botName).setNewCommand('start', async (ctx) => { await ctx.reply(`You are welcome in super text tg rpg game!:`, { parse_mode: 'HTML', reply_markup: { inline_keyboard: [ [ { text: 'Start', callback_data: 'new-game', }, { text: 'Continue', callback_data: 'loading', }, { text: 'Options', callback_data: 'settings', }, ], ], }, }) }) const gameActions = (botName: string) => new ActionBuilder(botName) .setNewAction('new-game', async (ctx: any) => { return ctx.reply('Coming soon') }) .setNewAction('loading', async (ctx: any) => { return ctx.reply('Coming soon') }) .setNewAction('settings', async (ctx: any) => { return ctx.reply('Coming soon') }) const loader = new BotsLoader() loader.addBot(name, gameCommands, gameActions) loader.launch((err) => { if (!err) { console.log(`${name} is working`) } else { console.error(err) } })
