Installation

npm install @telegram-web-app/core

Usage

If you already followed original instruction and place https://telegram.org/js/telegram-web-app.js script in the <head> tag, be sure that you remove it before using this library.

TL;DR

import { TelegramWebAppContainer } from '@telegram-web-app/core';

const telegram = new TelegramWebAppContainer();

// When yor app is ready
telegram.WebApp.ready();

// You can use any properties/methods described in https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps#initializing-web-apps
telegram.WebApp.version; // for example: '6.7'

Library exports TelegramWebAppContainer class which returns instance of Telegram interface. It's contains two getters: WebApp and WebView, their interfaces fully compatible with original telegram library

You can pass optional object with option exposeInMainWorld(default to false) to decide whether to add or not Telegram object to window like the original library does.

import { TelegramWebAppContainer } from '@telegram-web-app/core';

const telegram = new TelegramWebAppContainer({ exposeInMainWorld: true });

Makes available window.Telegram object with the following properties:

WebView
WebApp
Utils
TelegramGameProxy_receiveEvent
TelegramGameProxy

types

@telegram-web-app/core/types

Contains all typescript types.

Exceptions

In the original library when exception happens, code throws generic Error class without some useful information. For example:

if (!text.length) {
  console.error('[Telegram.WebApp] Main button text is required', params.text);
  throw Error('WebAppMainButtonParamInvalid');
}

Library throws custom errors instead of generic Error in the original library.

All custom errors available through import from @telegram-web-app/core/errors

For example:

import { WebAppMainButtonParamInvalidError } from '@telegram-web-app/core/errors';

...

try {
  telegram.WebApp.MainButton.setText(null) // only valid value type is string, so it's throws
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof WebAppMainButtonParamInvalidError) {
    // do something here
  }
}
