@drex-api/bot

Write a DrexChat bot in plain JavaScript. Long polling: no public address, no certificate, no dependencies.

const { Bot } = require('@drex-api/bot');

const bot = new Bot({ token: process.env.DREX_BOT_TOKEN, ownerId: Number(process.env.DREX_OWNER_ID) });

bot.command('start', (ctx) => ctx.reply('Hello'));
bot.on('message', (ctx) => ctx.reply('You said: ' + ctx.text));
bot.start();

Get a token with ?newbot and your ID with ?getid, both sent to DrexBot inside DrexChat.

API

• new Bot({ token, ownerId?, baseUrl?, pollTimeout?, quiet? })
• bot.command(name, handler) matches ?name or /name
• bot.on('message' | 'ready', handler)
• bot.sendMessage(chatId, text), bot.sendPhoto(chatId, url, caption?), bot.getMe()
• bot.start() / bot.stop()
• ctx.reply(text), ctx.replyWithPhoto(url, caption?), ctx.text, ctx.command, ctx.fromUsername, ctx.chatId

Buttons, video and audio (1.1)

const { Bot, button, urlButton } = require('@trashcore/drex-api');

bot.command('play', (ctx) => ctx.reply('Pick one', {
  buttons: [[button('Truth', 'truth'), button('Dare', 'dare')], [urlButton('Docs', 'https://example.com')]]
}));

bot.action('truth', (ctx) => ctx.reply('...'));          // exact data
bot.action(/^page:(\d+)$/, (ctx) => ctx.reply('Page ' + ctx.match[1]));

ctx.replyWithVideo('https://host/clip.mp4', 'caption');
ctx.replyWithAudio('https://host/song.mp3');

Buttons: up to 8 rows, 4 per row. data is at most 64 bytes. Media must be a direct http(s) link to the file. A tap nothing claims is emitted as bot.on('callback', ...).
