[paOol]

is anyone using the new inline features?

please share a code example, or are the methods not added to this library yet?

@paOol, try this: simple inline photo example.

[paOol]

var TelegramBot = require('node-telegram-bot-api');

var token = 'WRITE_YOUR_TOKEN_HERE';
var botOptions = {
    polling: true
};
var bot = new TelegramBot(token, botOptions);

bot.getMe().then(function(me)
{
    console.log('Hello! My name is %s!', me.first_name);
    console.log('My id is %s.', me.id);
    console.log('And my username is @%s.', me.username);
});

bot.on('inline_query', function(msg)
{
    var q_id = msg.id;
    var q_query = msg.query;
//  var q_from = msg.from;
//  var q_offset = msg.offset;

    var results = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < 10; ++i) {
        var InlineQueryResultPhoto = {
            'type': 'photo', 
            'photo_url': 'http://exlmoto.ru/wp-content/Images/E770vE1000/large/' + q_query + '.jpg',
            'thumb_url': 'http://exlmoto.ru/wp-content/Images/E770vE1000/' + q_query + '.jpg',
            'id': '287878416582808857/' + i,
            'photo_width': 48,
            'photo_height': 48
        };
        results.push(InlineQueryResultPhoto);
    }

    bot.answerInlineQuery(q_id, results);
});

bot.on('chosen_inline_result', function(msg)
{
    console.log('Chosen:' + msg);
});

Thank you.

[msanjeevkumar]

in above code chosen_inline_result is not working

[abbddo]

what is the advantage of _id_ in _InlineQueryResultPhoto_ ?

You must activate this option via @BotFather

1. Use /setinline command and set placeholder message.
2. Use /setinlinefeedback and Enable feedback.

@abbddo
The official documentation says:

Field | Type | Description
-- | -- | --
id | String | Unique identifier for this result, 1-64 Bytes

So then you must generate a unique id for each inline-result. You can do this in any way. Also for the id it is possible to use not only digits, but also symbols.
