Please confer the official documentation for this plugin to learn more about this plugin, including about its Installation.
Here is a brief description, though: This plugin installs useful methods on two types of objects, namely
- the results of API calls, and
- the objects on the context object
ctx.
The purpose of this plugin is best illustrated by an example.
WITHOUT this plugin:
bot.on(":photo", async (ctx) => {
const statusMessage = await ctx.reply("Processing your image, please wait");
await doWork(); // some long image processing
await ctx.api.deleteMessage(statusMessage.message_id);
});
bot.on("callback_query", async (ctx) => {
await ctx.answerCallbackQuery();
});WITH this plugin:
bot.on(":photo", async (ctx) => {
const statusMessage = await ctx.reply("Processing your image, please wait");
await doWork(); // some long image processing
await statusMessage.delete(); // so easy!
});
bot.on("callback_query", async (ctx) => {
await ctx.callbackQuery.answer(); // this works now, too
});
