Telegram bot on NodeJS?

Question

JavaScript

I use this library node-telegram-bot-api , via polling.
There was a question how to make that after entering / setname , the bot prompted to enter a name. If, for example, within 30 seconds, the user did not enter anything, then the command was canceled. How can I do that?

Answer 1

What exactly is the problem ?, it seems like the solution is obvious, suggest the user to enter a name and after 30 seconds they do not process it anymore and display a warning to the user if they want.

Answer 2

this lib has this type

Answer 3

It would be more correct to enter a name next to the command itself
. Although it is possible like this:

var stateSetName = false;

bot.onText(/\(.*)/, function (msg, match) {

if(!stateSetName)return;

var name = match[1];
});

bot.onText(/\/setname/, function (msg, match) {
  
  var fromId = msg.from.id;
  bot.sendMessage(fromId, "Введите имя");
stateSetName =true;

 setTimeout(function(){   bot.sendMessage(fromId, "Отмена!"); stateSetName =false;},30000);
});

but ideally, similar with message chains should be done through states
