Bot Source

Bot source code can be found within the bot.js file at this project's root.

The packages Telegraf and node-cron are included as dependencies.

• Telegraf - a library that makes it simple to develop Telegram bots using JavaScript providing access to Telegram APIs
• node-cron - a simple cron-like job scheduler for Node.js used for scheduling and dispatching of automatic recurring updates

The bot's token is imported from a .bottoken file at the projects's root. This file is excuded from this GitHub release for obvious security reasons.

Bot replies are loaded at runtime from markdown (.md) files stored in the replies subdirectory. Content for automated recurring updates is likewise loaded from the updates directory. Markdown syntax follows Telegram's V1 specification.

From the Telegram Docs:

https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#markdown-style

This is a legacy mode, retained for backward compatibility. To use this mode, pass Markdown in the parse_mode field. Use the following syntax in your message:

*bold text*
_italic text_
[inline URL](http://www.example.com/)
[inline mention of a user](tg://user?id=123456789)
`inline fixed-width code`
```
pre-formatted fixed-width code block
```
```python
pre-formatted fixed-width code block written in the Python programming language
```

All bot replies and updates are written using Telegram's V1 markdown syntax only; their V2 Markdown syntax has not been integrated yet.

Telegraf middleware is used for permission handeling during command processing. Bot source code responsible for handling commands is roughly broken down into sections, seperated by whitespace / comments, and sorted by the middleware used.

Group chat commands use the Telegraf.groupChat() middleware to ensure that group chat commands recieve the correct replies.

Group chat administrator commands use the Telegraf.admim() middleware preventing normal group members from accessing them.

Private chat commands use the Telegraf.privateChat() middleware to ensure that private chat commands recieve the correct replies.

Automatic recurring updates are scheduled using node-cron. Update content is picked randomly from avalible updates in such a way as to prevent the same update from being sent back to back.

Process listeners for SIGINT and SIGTERM are setup to gracefully deal with application shutdowns.

We decided to take this into our own hands by launching Coin Sack; a BEP-20 token featuring battle tested tokenomics, an innovative future roadmap, and a trustworthy team that cares for its investors.
