Commands

Telegram allows a single message to contain multiple commands, tgx-core handles this by parsing the message and reading the entities the message contains.

Then the client emits every single commands the message contains, for instance a text message was sent /command /hey /there.

Here's how tgx-core handles this:

• Client will emit message ClientEvent.Message
• Client will emit text ClientEvent.Text
• Client will emit command ClientEvent.Command
• Client commands will emit command
• Client commands will emit hey
• Client commands will emit there

Listening to Commands

tgx-core currently supports two methods on listening to commands.

Regsitries

Please refer to the Introduction Registries.Commands on how to create command registries.

Once you have created a registry please refer to the Registry Setup.

EventEmitter

The client has a manager called command which can be accessed via Client.commands. Whenever a command was received and parsed, you can listen to this manager.

Registries

We recomment using the registries for at the moment since there are no other ways of updating the command.

But the usage of the event emitter is not limited, even if the command is not in the registry it is still emitted by the client for text message with command entities.

Client.commands.on('command', (message) => {
    message.replyText('Command received!')
})
