# Telegram Bot coded in NodeJS hosted at Heroku

Sample files to run a Telegram Bot with Heroku without [dyno sleeping](https://blog.heroku.com/app_sleeping_on_heroku).

## Requirements

* [NodeJS (and npm)](https://nodejs.org/en/)

* [Heroku CLI](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/heroku-cli)

* [node-telegram-bot-api](https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api)

* [Bot token](https://web.telegram.org/#/im?p=@BotFather)

## References

* [Heroku NodeJS Documentation](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#introduction)

* [node-telegram-bot-api Documentation](https://github.com/yagop/node-telegram-bot-api/blob/master/doc/usage.md)

---

Make sure to run `npm install` before commiting your bot to Heroku.

## Prevent Dyno sleeping

By default, Heroku apps sleep after 1 hour of inactivity. This can be prevented by running the app as a worker dyno instead of a web dyno. This is already set on the Procfile, but make sure this is also true on your dashboard.

1. Go to your [Heroku dashboard]

2. Resources tab

3. Check worker, uncheck web (if it's checked)
