telegram-bot-ruby VS dotenv

Instead of WhatsApp, why not turn this into a Telegram app? Telegram’s APIs are built quite well for this type of thing. You can still do it via voice messages [0] or you can even build what Telegram calls a Mini App [1]. And it’s all very straightforward and free!

Because the documents are really parsed into data. I have converted almost all of the valid content from the official document page (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api) into JSON format and uploaded it to a separate repository (telegex/api_doc.json). This includes all types, methods, and comments.

From a palette point of view I really like node-red-contrib-telegrambot because it exposes the whole telegram api (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api). Should have you covered for sending and receiving text and voice messages.

You will need to code a bot that can do something like this. You can use basically any (popular) programming language. Check https://core.telegram.org/bots/api for more info.

The Telegram bot API is [here](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api). Check the "introduction to bots" link at the top for instructions on how to create a bot.

var back = InlineKeyboardButton.builder() .text("Back").callbackData("back") .build(); var url = InlineKeyboardButton.builder() .text("Tutorial") .url("https://core.telegram.org/bots/api") .build();

Studying guides and the API documentation. Actually, why are you even asking us, just ask ChatGPT. People obsess too much about how you can break or the fact that it will make up shit when discussing historical facts, but for everything else it's actually amazing. Like a friend who knows a little bit of everything and you just ask them if you don't know how to google the answer.

There is fantastic API documentation to develop your own bot, which you can use to send these kinds of messages: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api

We will put our Emailjs environment variables in a dotenv (.env) file. To read more about the purpose of this file click here.

Add .env to your .gitignore file to prevent it from being committed. Here's an example file with it already added. You may also use dotenv for advanced configuration and it will automatically load environment variables from a .env file into process.env.

dotenv: Designed to load environment variables from a .env file into the process.env environment

Like Doppler, Infisical uses environment variable injection. Similar to the Dotenv package for Node, when used in Node, it injects them at run time into the process object of the running app so they're not readable by any other processes or users. They can still be revealed by a crash dump or logging, so that is a caveat to consider in your code and build scripts.

We'll be working with databases' ids and different info that should be secured so I would advise you to create a .env file to store said info. We'll do this by installing dotenv into our project and use it accordingly:

dotenv - For reading our API keys from the environment

As an avid dotenv user I wanted to thank their maintainers for keeping the project alive for 10 years (wow). A perfect exemplary of dedication to Open Source.

Sensitive data like database URLs, API keys, and passwords should never be hardcoded in your application code. Instead, use environment variables accessed at runtime to keep this information secret. Popular dotenv libraries like dotenv make this easy for Node.js apps.
