# μ-bot

> 🤖 Zero-configuration Telegram bot runner



## Documentation



`micro-bot` was built on top of [`Telegraf`](https://github.com/telegraf/telegraf) library.



[Telegraf API documentation](http://telegraf.js.org).



## Installation



Install from NPM:



```bash

$ npm install micro-bot

```



## Scaffolding



If you have installed latest `yarn` or `npm` you can use [`create-bot`](https://github.com/telegraf/create-bot) scaffolding tool:



```bash

$ npm init bot smart-bot

$ cd smart-bot

```



Or using `yarn`:



```bash

$ yarn create bot smart-bot

$ cd smart-bot

```



## Quick start



The following example will answer with important information about everything.



```bash

$ mkdir smart-bot

$ cd smart-bot

$ npm init

$ npm install micro-bot --save

```



Then write your `index.js`.



```js

module.exports = ({ reply }) => reply('42')

```



Then in your `package.json`:



```js

"main": "index.js",

"scripts": {

  "start": "micro-bot"

}

```



To run the bot, use the `micro-bot` command:



```bash

$ BOT_TOKEN='TOKEN' npm start

```



or



```bash

$ micro-bot -t TOKEN index.js

```



To run the bot with webhook support, provide webhook domain name:



```bash

$ micro-bot -t TOKEN -d yourdomain.tld echo.js

```



Supported environment variables:



* `process.env.BOT_TOKEN` - Bot token

* `process.env.BOT_DOMAIN` - Webhook domain



## Deployment to `now`



Let's deploy your `micro-bot` with Realtime global deployments by Zeit.



First, install [`now`](https://zeit.co/now)

```bash

$ npm install now -g

$ now login

```



Finally use `now` to deploy:



```bash

$ now -e BOT_TOKEN='YOUR BOT TOKEN'

```



Congratulations, your bot is alive! 🎉



## Deployment to Heroku



Okay, now we will deploy our `micro-bot` to Heroku. Why not?!



First, install [`heroku binaries`](https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-nodejs#set-up) and login via console.



Then, init new git repo:

```bash

$ git init

$ heroku create

```



Afterwards, update Heroku config:



```bash

$ heroku config:set --app YourAppId BOT_TOKEN='YOUR BOT TOKEN'

$ heroku config:set --app YourAppId BOT_DOMAIN='https://YourAppId.herokuapp.com'

```



Then add `Procfile` into the root of your project, with one line:



```Procfile

web: micro-bot -p $PORT

```



Finally use git to deploy:



```bash

$ git add index.js package.json

$ git commit -m 'initial commit'

$ git push heroku master

```

## Advanced Examples



```js

const { mount, reply } = require('micro-bot')

module.exports = mount('sticker', reply('👍'))

```



```js

const { readFileSync } = require('fs')

const { Composer } = require('micro-bot')

const bot = new Composer()



bot.start((ctx) => ctx.reply('Welcome'))

bot.help((ctx) => ctx.reply('Help message'))

bot.hears('hi', ({ reply }) => reply('Hello'))

bot.on('sticker', ({ reply }) => reply('👍'))



// Export bot handler

module.exports = bot



// Or you can export hash with handlers and options

module.exports = {

  bot: bot,

  init: (bot) => {

    console.log('Bot initialization hook')

  },

  server: (req, res, next) => {

    console.log('Http request hook')

  },

  options: {

    telegram: {

      agent: new HttpsProxyAgent('proxy url')

    }

  },

  tlsOptions: {

    key:  readFileSync('server-key.pem'),

    cert: readFileSync('server-cert.pem'),

    ca: [

      // This is necessary only if the client uses the self-signed certificate.

      readFileSync('client-cert.pem')

    ]

  }

}

```



### Stages & Scenes



```js

const { Composer, Stage, Scene, session } = require('micro-bot')



// Greeter scene

const greeter = new Scene('greeter')

greeter.enter((ctx) => ctx.reply('Hi'))

greeter.leave((ctx) => ctx.reply('Buy'))

greeter.hears(/hi/gi, (ctx) => ctx.scene.leave())

greeter.on('message', (ctx) => ctx.reply('Send `hi`'))



const stage = new Stage()

stage.register(greeter)



const bot = new Composer()

bot.use(session())

bot.use(stage)

bot.command('greeter', (ctx) => ctx.scene.enter('greeter'))

bot.command('cancel', (ctx) => ctx.scene.leave())

module.exports = bot



```
