telegraf 4.10.0 on Node.js NPM

Brand new formatting helpers! No more awkward escaping.

import { fmt, bold, italics, mention } from "telegraf/format";

ctx.reply(fmt`
Ground control to ${mention("Major Tom", 10000000)}
${bold`Lock your Soyuz hatch`} and ${italic`put your helmet on`}
— ${link("David Bowie", "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Bowie")}
`);

This also just works with captions!

ctx.replyWithPhoto(
  file.id,
  { caption: fmt`${bold`File name:`} ${file.name}` },
);

Added Input helpers to create the InputFile object.

import { Telegraf, Input } from "telegraf";
const bot = new Telegraf(token);

bot.telegram.sendVideo(chatId, Input.fromLocalFile("../assets/cats.mp4"));

bot.telegram.sendDocument(chatId, Input.fromBuffer(buf));

bot.command("cat", ctx => {
  ctx.sendPhoto(Input.fromURL("https://funny-cats.example/cats.jpg"))
});

This helps clear the confusion many users have about InputFile.

Deprecated ctx.replyWithMarkdown; prefer MarkdownV2 as Telegram recommends.
Deprecated ctx.replyWithChatAction; use identical method ctx.sendChatAction instead.
bot.launch()'s webhook options now accepts certificate for self-signed certs.
Fix bot crashes if updateHandler throws (#1709)
