Course content

6 sections50 lectures4h 30m total length
  • Introduction1:20

    Build real backend applications with Node.js using Express, Axios, and Cheerio for web scraping, and Telegram bots with Telegraph, plus cron jobs and deployments to Railway or Render.

  • Creating telegram bot1:33

    Create your telegram bot with Bot Father by naming it and ending the username with bot to obtain HTTP API token, store it in an environment file for Node.js integration.

  • Installing NodeJS2:03

    Set up your environment by installing node.js, verify node -v and npm -v, create a project folder, run npm init -y, and install telegraph js for your Telegram bot.

  • Connecting NodeJS to bot3:51

    Connect a Node.js project to a telegram bot by creating index.js, creating a bot instance with a token, and starting the bot to respond with welcome and help messages.

  • Context button. On Listener5:24

    Explore how the Telegram bot context object captures user updates, and how the on listener handles text messages, logs context, and replies, with modular, middleware-friendly listener patterns.

  • Keyboards6:03

    Learn to build interactive Telegram bots with Node.js by implementing reply and inline keyboards, arranging multi-line button layouts, and wiring up menu and options handlers with yes/no callbacks.

  • Scenes1:05

    Learn to design multi-step conversations in a Node.js telegram bot using telegraph scenes, including version checks with npm list and installing scenes when needed.

  • Session. Stage. Middlewares4:38

    Install and use session and stage middlewares in Telegraf to manage context and data between messages, enabling multi-step conversations and scene workflows within a flexible middleware pipeline.

  • Add NoteScene3:23

    Create a multi-step wizard scene in node.js to collect a node title and content, store them in scene state, and export the add node scene.

  • Base Scene. Wizard Scene2:35

    Contrast wizard scene and base scene in Telegram bot development, showing manual single-scene control versus multi-step guided forms for booking, registration, and data collection.

  • Register Add Note Screen2:51

    Register the add note screen in the Telegram bot project by wiring the scene to index.js, applying stage middleware, and creating a start command to enter the scene.

  • Saving data locally4:12

    Log user updates with middleware, then save data locally to a json database by creating a data folder with nodes.json, initializing an empty array, and persisting new nodes.

  • Show Notes4:06

    Add a show nodes command to a telegram bot built with node.js, read nodes from nodes.json, filter by user, and format results with markdown.

  • Delete Note button3:57

    Implement the delete node feature with an inline button per user node on an inline keyboard and a delete node command, reading the database on each request.

  • Delete logic7:42

    Develop the delete action for a Telegram bot using regex to extract the index, filter global and user nodes, update notes.json, and provide feedback.

  • Bug fix1:59

    Fix a bug that yields two empty arrays when deleting all nodes, ensure correct data shape and a 'no nodes yet' message, and spread global and user nodes.

  • Edit Note6:22

    Build the edit node feature by listing user nodes, prompting for a new title and content via a wizard scene, and saving updates to the local database (data/nodes.json).

  • Edit scene4:48

    Implement the edit scene in index.js for the telegram bot, wiring the edit action and stage to manage multiple scenes, and debug wizard state and file path errors.

  • Summarize handlers11:36

    Build a Telegram bot with Node.js by creating a main menu keyboard and handlers to add, show, delete, and edit nodes; wire commands in index.js.

Requirements

  • A basic understanding of JavaScript (variables, functions, arrays, objects).
  • Very basic familiarity with Node.js (running scripts, installing packages with npm).
  • Basic knowledge of HTML is helpful but not required.
  • A computer with internet access to install Node.js and run Telegram bot projects.
  • No prior experience with Telegram Bot development is needed — everything is explained step-by-step.
