It is...However I don't want add too much functions to Tg bot. For me, bot is normally used to copy folders others shared. To do other things, using command line is more comfortable.

But a PR is always welcome, if anyone is insterested...

I made a screen record earlier: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lzN7R9Klw66C5UttUUDN3_EsN3pNs62q/view

Feel free to ask if the record isn't clear.

Thank you for your contribution👍, I added it to readme: https://github.com/iwestlin/gd-utils/commit/9defd5b59bb57de1f7fca44412f225cc16c666f7

Thank you for your response Just tested aria2,its very good About the bot thing..If i wanted to do add those features for my personal use Which file should i be editing ? Thanks for all the insights

[iwestlin]

Which file should i be editing?

You could add two buttons, for example snap2html and tree2html here: https://github.com/iwestlin/gd-utils/blob/9defd5b59bb57de1f7fca44412f225cc16c666f7/src/tg.js#L137

then handle the callback data of user clicking those buttons here: https://github.com/iwestlin/gd-utils/blob/9defd5b59bb57de1f7fca44412f225cc16c666f7/src/router.js#L64

then call tree_tpl or snap2html function to generate html file, and send the file to tg api by: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sending-files (there are some limitations)

[iwestlin]

send file to bot can be a little tricky, so I wrote a function, tested good:

const fs = require('fs')
const FormData = require('form-data') // need to run `npm i form-data` first

function send_file ({file_path, chat_id}) {
  const url = `https://api.telegram.org/bot${tg_token}/sendDocument`
  const form = new FormData()
  form.append('chat_id', chat_id)
  form.append('document', fs.createReadStream(file_path))
  axins.post(url, form, {
    headers: form.getHeaders()
  }).then(r => console.log(r.data)).catch(console.error)
}

// use like this:
send_file({chat_id, file_path: 'html file location'})

Thank you I will try to add this my own to the bot I am sure i will fail haha Will update here Thanks also..i should add the above function in gd.js yes?

[iwestlin]

better put it in tg.js, because it used a global variable tg_token then export this function in module.exports = {send_file} and require and use it in router.js (handle the callback data part)
