Node-telegram-bot-api: Override text event with specific text

[kenanchristian]

Hi there, it's a really awesome bot you make :)
I can't seem to find a way to override bot.on('text') event with a specific text.
Something like bot.on(/hello/i) still gives me response from bot.on(text).

That would be bot.onText() not bot.on()!

[kenanchristian]

so this is my code

bot.on('text', function (msg) {
  var chatId = msg.chat.id;
  bot.sendMessage(chatId, 'hello text text');
});

bot.onText(/\/ping/i, function(msg){
  let chatId = msg.chat.id;
  bot.sendMessage(chatId,"pong");
})

when i use /ping command on telegram, it also sends hello text text

which one should be onText and which one should be on?

The two methods are not exclusive. If the bot receives a text message, it always fires the text event (see src/telegram.js#L95). It then fires the corresponding callbacks for all matching regexps (see src/telegram.js#L106).
