node.js - handle response from telegram bot api -

i using api: https://github.com/orzfly/node-telegram-bot

it should work other.

now want bot have option update string keeps reason. on "/update" update function called, msg message object (https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#message):

link = "something"; function update(msg) {      response = tg.sendmessage({         text: "send new url, please",         chat_id: msg.chat.id,         reply_to_message_id: msg.message_id,         reply_markup: {             force_reply: true,             selective: true         }     });     console.log("response: " + response);     // on reply want update link } 

now bot asks me provide new string. next answer in telegram answer bots request, because of force_reply. how answer? 'response' here promise object , don't know it.

after reading promises objects, tried this:

response.then(function successhandler(result) {     tg.sendmessage({         text: "new url is: don't know",         chat_id: msg.chat.id     }); }, function failurehandler(error) {     colsole.log("error: " + error); }); 

but didn't work. in no way.

i don't know reply message object from. hope it's clear asking. otherwise let me know.

if understood right, you're trying next message user , treat new string; problem is: response contain response telegram servers stating result of message tried send; has nothing user's response message;

in order this, need control last message bot sent user and, based on that, decide how handle user's next message; this:

link = "something"; states = {} function update(msg) {     if (!states[msg.chat.id] || states[msg.chat.id] == 1) {         tg.sendmessage({             text: "send new url, please",             chat_id: msg.chat.id,             reply_to_message_id: msg.message_id,             reply_markup: {                 force_reply: true,                 selective: true             }         }).then(() => {             states[msg.chat.id] = 2             console.log(`asked question ${msg.chat.id}`);         });     } else {         link = msg.text;         tg.sendmessage({             text: `new url is: ${link}`,             chat_id: msg.chat.id,             reply_to_message_id: msg.message_id         })     } }
