This plugin allows you to easily download files from Telegram servers. Check out the official plugin page for further documentation.
import { Bot, type Context } from "grammy";
import { type FileFlavor, hydrateFiles } from "@grammyjs/files";
// Transformative API flavor
type MyContext = FileFlavor<Context>;
// Create bot
const bot = new Bot<MyContext>("");
// Install plugin
bot.api.config.use(hydrateFiles(bot.token));
// Download videos and GIFs to temporary files
bot.on([":video", ":animation"], async (ctx) => {
// Prepare file for download
const file = await ctx.getFile();
// Download file to temporary location on your disk
const path = await file.download();
// Print file path
console.log("File saved at", path);
});
You can pass a string with a file path to download
if you don't want to create a temporary file.
Just do await file.download('/path/to/file')
.
