Usage

import { Bot, format, bold } from "gramio";
import { prompt } from "@gramio/prompt";

const bot = new Bot(process.env.TOKEN as string)
    .extend(prompt())
    .command("start", async (context) => {
        const answer = await context.prompt(
            "message",
            format`What's your ${bold`name`}?`
        );

        return context.send(`✨ Your name is ${answer.text}`);
    })
    .onStart(console.log);

bot.start();

Prompt

Prompt with text + params

const answer = await context.prompt("What's your name?");
// or with SendMessageParams
const answer = await context.prompt("True or false?", {
    reply_markup: new Keyboard().text("true").row().text("false"),
});

answer is MessageContext or CallbackQueryContext

Prompt with text + params and the specified event

const answer = await context.prompt("message", "What's your name?");

const answer = await context.prompt("callback_query", "True or false?", {
    reply_markup: new InlineKeyboard()
        .text("true", "true")
        .row()
        .text("false", "false"),
});

answer is CallbackQueryContext

Validation

You can define a handler in params to validate the user's answer. If handler returns false, the message will be repeated.

const answer = await context.prompt(
    "message",
    "Enter a string that contains russian letter",
    {
        validate: (context) => /[а-яА-Я]/.test(context.text),
        //... and some SendMessageParams
    }
);

Transform

const name = await context.prompt(
    "message",
    format`What's your ${bold`name`}?`,
    {
        transform: (context) => context.text || context.caption || "",
    }
);

name is string

Wait

Wait for the next event from the user

const answer = await context.wait();

answer is MessageContext or CallbackQueryContext

Wait for the next event from the user ignoring events not listed

const answer = await context.wait("message");

answer is CallbackQueryContext

Wait for the next event from the user ignoring non validated answers

You can define a handler in params to validate the user's answer. If handler return false, the message will be ignored

const answer = await context.wait((context) => /[а-яА-Я]/.test(context.text));
// or combine with event
const answer = await context.wait("message", (context) =>
    /[а-яА-Я]/.test(context.text)
);

Wait for the next event from the user ignoring non validated answers with transformer

You can define a handler in params to transform the user's answer.

const answer = await context.wait((context) => /[а-яА-Я]/.test(context.text));
// or combine with event
const answer = await context.wait("message", {
    validate: (context) => /[а-яА-Я]/.test(context.text),
    transform: (context) => c.text || "",
});

answer is string
