The grammY conversations plugin lets you create powerful conversational interfaces with ease.
This is version 2 of the plugin. Version 2 is a complete rewrite from scratch. If you are still using version 1.x, check out the migration guide. (The old docs are no longer be updated but they can still be found here.)
You should check out the official documentation of the plugin, but here is a quickstart for you to get up and running.
Run npm i @grammyjs/conversations
and paste the following code:
import { Bot, type Context } from "grammy";
import {
type Conversation,
type ConversationFlavor,
conversations,
createConversation,
} from "@grammyjs/conversations";
type MyContext = ConversationFlavor<Context>;
type MyConversationContext = Context;
type MyConversation = Conversation<MyContext, MyConversationContext>;
const bot = new Bot<MyContext>("");
/** Defines the conversation */
async function greeting(
conversation: MyConversation,
ctx: MyConversationContext,
) {
await ctx.reply("Hi there! What is your name?");
const { message } = await conversation.wait();
await ctx.reply(`Welcome to the chat, ${message.text}!`);
}
bot.use(conversations());
bot.use(createConversation(greeting));
bot.command("enter", async (ctx) => {
await ctx.reply("Entering conversation!");
// enter the function "greeting" you declared
await ctx.conversation.enter("greeting");
});
bot.command("start", (ctx) => ctx.reply("Hi! Send /enter"));
bot.use((ctx) => ctx.reply("What a nice update."));
bot.start();
Nifty!
