  1. node-telegram-bot-api

    Telegram Bot API for NodeJS

    We checked if our text is equal to our command and responded with message. It is all main logic from this package, more sendMessage methods or params you can see here. Also we used reply_markup option in which we can use our keyboard, which will be sent with our message. And then we can check if text equal to "en" we will change our language to english and response with message. In addition, if you have a question like can you send message without getting message from user - you can do it. All that you need is to save your user to database like MongoDB with chatId field and use something like express to make CRUD methods to send your message. Here is my example of this 'bot mailer':

    Modern Telegram Bot Framework for Node.js (by telegraf)

    Today the most popular ways to build telegram chat bots in node js are Telegraf and Node-Telegram-Bot-Api. The second is more popular by weekly downloads(250.000), but in this post I don't want to equalize them by stats. I want to talk about my experience with them, in which cases I used them and show you really nice guide, especially for Telegraf, cause they haven't readable docs for newbies or people who don't use typescript.

  4. Express

    Fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for node.
