Always Replying to Messages

THIRD-PARTY

It is sometimes necessary to always send messages as replies, especially for bots that are meant to be used in groups. We usually do this by adding the reply_to_message_id parameter to the methods that send the message: sendText, reply, sendPhoto, replyWithPhoto and etc. However, if you’re doing this for every single message, it can get messy and boring.

This plugin sets the reply_to_message_id parameter to ctx.msg.message_id for all reply* and send* methods that support it to make every message a reply to the message that triggered it.

Usage

In Specific Routes

If you want all messages sent within a specific context (like a specific command), you can specifically apply the plugin to them:

import { Bot } from "grammy";
import { addReplyParam } from "@roziscoding/grammy-autoquote";

const bot = new Bot("");

bot.command("demo", async (ctx) => {
  ctx.api.config.use(addReplyParam(ctx));
  await ctx.reply("Demo command!"); // this is going to quote the user's message
});

bot.start();

const { Bot } = require("grammy");
const { addReplyParam } = require("@roziscoding/grammy-autoquote");

const bot = new Bot("");

bot.command("demo", async (ctx) => {
  ctx.api.config.use(addReplyParam(ctx));
  await ctx.reply("Demo command!"); // this is going to quote the user's message
});

bot.start();

import { Bot } from "https://deno.land/x/grammy@v1.11.2/mod.ts";
import { addReplyParam } from "https://deno.land/x/grammy_autoquote@v1.1.1/mod.ts";

const bot = new Bot("");

bot.command("demo", async (ctx) => {
  ctx.api.config.use(addReplyParam(ctx));
  await ctx.reply("Demo command!"); // this is going to quote the user's message
});

bot.start();

In for All Routes

If you want every sent message to reply the messages that triggered them, you can apply the plugin this way:

import { Bot } from "grammy";
import { autoQuote } from "@roziscoding/grammy-autoquote";

const bot = new Bot("");

bot.use(autoQuote);

bot.command("demo", async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.reply("Demo command!"); // this is going to quote the user's message
});

bot.command("hello", async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.reply("Hi there :)"); // this quotes the user's message, too
});

bot.start();

const { Bot } = require("grammy");
const { autoQuote } = require("@roziscoding/grammy-autoquote");

const bot = new Bot("");

bot.use(autoQuote);

bot.command("demo", async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.reply("Demo command!"); // this is going to quote the user's message
});

bot.command("hello", async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.reply("Hi there :)"); // this quotes the user's message, too
});

bot.start();

import { Bot } from "https://deno.land/x/grammy@v1.11.2/mod.ts";
import { autoQuote } from "https://deno.land/x/grammy_autoquote@v1.1.1/mod.ts";

const bot = new Bot("");

bot.use(autoQuote);

bot.command("demo", async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.reply("Demo command!"); // this is going to quote the user's message
});

bot.command("hello", async (ctx) => {
  await ctx.reply("Hi there :)"); // this quotes the user's message, too
});

bot.start();
