Getting Started

Now, it’s time to open Telegram to create a bot account, and obtain an authentication token for it. Talk to @BotFather to do this. The authentication token looks like 1234567890:AAGuR7uTRW7IZkbfpcVMKi7CLLkRYXc9cLI.

Loading...

Open your package.json and find:

"scripts": {
  "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},

and replace with

note

dev script requires nodemon module, you can install it via npm i nodemon -D

"scripts": {
  "start": "node index.js",
  "dev": "nodemon index.js"
},

What is this for? Now you can run bot in two modes using npm aliases:

  • npm start (or npm run start) - running bot for production
  • npm run dev - running bot in development mode with hot reload (bot automatically restarted after source files changed)

Open your command line and run npm start or npm run dev.

End. 🥳
