🚀 Quick Start

Here’s a basic example of how to use the @pyyupsk/messenger-webhooks library to set up a simple chatbot:

import { Bot, MessageEvent } from '@pyyupsk/messenger-webhooks';

const bot = new Bot({
  accessToken: 'YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
  verifyToken: 'YOUR_VERIFY_TOKEN',
});

bot.on('message', (event: MessageEvent) => {
  const { sender, message } = event;

  bot.sendTextMessage(sender.id, `You wrote: ${message.text}`);
});

bot.start();

Terminal Output

When you start the bot, you should see output similar to the following:

[bot] [info] APPNAME (APPID) is running on port 8080 (/webhook)

📚 API Reference

Bot Initialization

The Bot class is initialized with an object containing the following options:

• accessToken (required): Your Facebook Page's access token.
• verifyToken (required): The verification token you set up for webhook validation.
• port (optional): The port number to run the server on. Defaults to 8080.
• endpoint (optional): The endpoint to handle webhook events. Defaults to /webhook.
• version (optional): The version of the Facebook Graph API to use. Defaults to v19.0.

Event Handling

The Bot instance uses an event-driven architecture, allowing you to listen for various events:

• message: Triggered when a user sends a message to your bot.

Example:

bot.on('message', (event: MessageEvent) => {
  // Handle incoming message
});

Sending Messages

The sendTextMessage method allows you to send a text message to a user:

bot.sendTextMessage(senderId, 'Your message text');

🛠️ Advanced Usage

🔧 Configuration

Make sure your Facebook App and Page are properly configured to use the webhook with the correct accessToken and verifyToken. Refer to the Facebook Developer Documentation for setup instructions.
