Node-telegram-bot-api: Request support for Polls: New Telegram Bot API v4.2

[danielperez9430]

Request for support for Polls

Changelog: Bot API 4.2 April 14, 2019

• Added support for native polls: added the object Poll, the methods sendPoll and stopPoll and the field poll in the Update object.
• The method deleteMessage can now be used to delete messages sent by a user to the bot in private chats within 48 hours.
• Added support for pinned messages in basic groups in addition to supergroups and channel chats: you can pass group's chat_id to pinChatMessage and unpinChatMessage, and receive the pinned group message in Chat object.
• Added the field is_member to the ChatMember object, which can be used to find whether a restricted user is a member of the chat.
• Added the field forward_sender_name to the Message object, containing name of the sender who has opted to hide their account.
• Starting in July 2019, webhook requests from Bot API will be coming from the subnets 149.154.160.0/20 and 91.108.4.0/22. Most users won't need to do anything to continue receiving webhooks. If you control inbound access with a firewall, you may need to update your configuration. You can always find the list of actual IP addresses of servers used to send webhooks there: https://core.telegram.org/bots/webhooks.
• Document thumbnails now should be inscribed in a 320x320 square instead of 90x90.

I think this update should include all the updates reported in Telegram bot blog: https://core.telegram.org/bots/api-changelog#april-14-2019

[danielperez9430]

@alexandercerutti The only thing missing function is the pools. The rest of the improvements are server-side and they work perfectly with the current library

Example:

msg.forward_sender_name // Return name of the user if user have forward restrictions active

[alexandercerutti]

@danielperez9430 oh okay, so nvm. 😊

[kamikazechaser]

The main features are ready. Just need to add the tests. Alternatively, if there is high demand for the features before the tests are written, I will merge the changes.

[danielperez9430]

@kamikazechaser WoW, good work mate. It's possible to use it, now?

Update: I tried to download the changes and paste them into the Node_Modules folder and works

Does the code in the master branch already work for Polls 2.0? https://telegram.org/blog/polls-2-0-vmq

Thank you

[kamikazechaser]

Yes, it should work, just pass type as an optional parameter.

bot.onText(/^!encuesta|^\/encuesta/,

There is a way to use a variable in object of poll? Same as "encuesta + variabletext"?

You can match text before the command, like this example:

// Matches "/echo [whatever]"
bot.onText(/\/echo (.+)/, (msg, match) => {
  // 'msg' is the received Message from Telegram
  // 'match' is the result of executing the regexp above on the text content
  // of the message

  const chatId = msg.chat.id;
  const resp = match[1]; // the captured "whatever"
// More...

});
