Questions Module

The Questions module is designed to capture messages in Telegram and pass them to a callback function. This allows you to easily implement application logic based on user messages. This module is also used in MessageContext in the question method. The module is stored in an Evogram instance in the modules object (client.modules.questions).

note

Working directly with the module is necessary when you need to request data outside of a command/event, where a UserMessageContext is passed. If you have a UserMessageContext, use the built-in question method.

Methods​

The QuestionManager class has two main methods that are necessary for working with the module.

addQuestion(user_id, callback)​

Adds a new question to the queue for the specified user and associates it with the passed callback.

Accepts two parameters:

  • user_id: The ID of the user who asked the question.
  • callback: The callback function that will be called when the user responds.

getQuestion(user_id, deleteQuestion)​

Gets the callback function associated with the specified user and removes it from the queue if the deleteQuestion parameter is set to true.

Accepts two parameters:

  • user_id: The ID of the user whose callback function should be obtained.
  • deleteQuestion: (Optional) A flag indicating whether to remove the question from the queue after receiving the callback. Default is true.

Usage example​

Let's write code that will request a user's response and output it to the console.

client.modules.questions.addQuestion(1, (message) => {
    console.log(message.text);
    message.reply("Thank you for your answer!");
})

In this example, client is an instance of Evogram.
