# Telegram Passport

### Parse/Decrypt incoming [Telegram Passport](https://core.telegram.org/passport) data

#### \* Note: All the type definitions on this library are in compliance with those defined in the Telegram API specification

## What does this library do?

### Provided your Bot's Private Key, this library will:

- Decrypt the [EncryptedCredentials](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#encryptedcredentials) object from the `credentials` field in [PassportData](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#passportdata)
- Parse the fields on each [EncryptedPassportElement](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#encryptedpassportelement) from the `data` field in PassportData
- Decrypt de `data` field (if present) from the EncryptedPassportElement
- Validate the integrity of the decryted data

## What doesn't this library do?

- Get the encrypted files corresponding to the requested fields
\* Download the encrypted files using the [getFile](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getfile) API endpoint, then use the `decryptData` method to decrypt them


## Usage

- First, create a new instance of the `TelegramPassport` class

```typescript
const telegramPassport = new TelegramPassport("");
```

- Parse and decryp de data of all the elements shared with the bot

```typescript
const data = telegramPassport.decryptPassportData(
    update.message.passport_data
);

// the nonce is retuned within the RequestedFields object

const nonce = data.nonce;
```

#### \* `update` is the object representing the incoming [Update](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#update) that was sent to the Bot

- Decryting files

```typescript
/*
get the data corresponding to the file you want to decryp
for example, the front side of the id card
*/

const id_frontSide = data.identity_card.front_side;

// download the file using the getFile API endpoint

...

// decryp the file

const file = telegramPassport.decryptData(
downloaded_file_data,
id_fronSide.secret,
id_fronSide.file_hash,
);
```

- Depending on the fields you requested, you might not need to process the whole `PassportData` object; for example, the "phone_number" and "email" fields are not encrypted. Thus, you only need to decrypt the credentials to obtain the nonce, then, you can get "phone_number" and "email" from `passport_data.data`

```typescript
/*
in this case, data will look like this

data: [
{
"type": "phone_number",
"phone_number": "XXXXXXXXXXX",
"hash": "the_base64-encoded_hash",
},
{
"type": "email",
"email": "[email protected]",
"hash": "the_base64-encoded_hash"
},
]
*/

// decrypt the credentials

const credentials = telegramPassport.decryptPassportCredentials(
update.message.passport_data.credentials,
);
```

#### \* `update` is the object representing the incoming [Update](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#update) that was sent to the Bot

## What can be inproved?

- The type "handling" in the `decryptData` method
\* Need a TS guru that can give me a hand with that, go check the code

## Found a bug?

### Open an [issue](https://github.com/merqva/telegram-passport/issues) (PRs are welcome)

#### \* be patient, I might be busy
