Create telegram bot for development

To use the Telegram Bot API, you first have to get a bot account by chatting with BotFather.

BotFather will give you a token, something like 123456789:AbCdfGhIJKlmNoQQRsTUVwxyZ.

Put it in a file named .env:

BOT_TOKEN=123456789:AbCdfGhIJKlmNoQQRsTUVwxyZ

(optional: you can also specify a port for the server in .env)

PORT=5000

Installing required modules

yarn install

Running bot server locally

yarn start

Linting js source files

yarn lint

...and fix (some of the) lint errors

yarn lint-fix

Production Deployment

Set following variables in your production environment:

1. BOT_TOKEN: Same as above
2. WEBHOOK_DOMAIN: Domain of your web server. It be running on port 80 and support HTTPS. Example value:mydomain.com
