Introduction

Especially useful for logging/tracking purposes, expose the message type to the message event, avoiding code duplication just to find out the message type

Example

bot.on('message', function onMessage(msg) {
  botan.track(msg, (msg.text)?msg.text.split(' ')[0]:msg.type);
}

(example using botanio, but would be applicable to pretty much any tracking library/system, the msg.text part is added as a more complete example, to track commands)

v0.30.0 passes metadata to the message event. For example,

bot.on("message", function(message, metadata) {
    console.log(metadata.type); // e.g. "photo"
});
