Quick setup
0. Host the Web App in GitHub Pages
The Web App must be hosted somewhere. Hosting it on a GitHub repository is a quick, free way to do it:
- Create a repository (or fork this one)
- On the repository: Settings > Pages:
- Source: Deploy from a branch
- Branch: master, / (root), Save
- Wait a few minutes for the web to be deployed. It will be available at:
https://{github-username}.github.io/{repository-name}/{location-inside-repository}
1. Show the user a button to open a Web App. There are two ways:
-
Show the user a special menu button (near the message input field):
- Go to Bot Father
- Select your bot
-
Bot Settings—Menu Button—Specify../Edit menu button URL - Send a URL to your Web App (in this case,
https://{github-username}.github.io/{repository-name}/index.html)
-
The second way is to send a button with the data that contains field
web_appwith a URL to a Web App:{ "text": "Test web_app", "web_app": { "url": "https://{github-username}.github.io/{repository-name}/index.html" } }
2. Add script to your Web App
To connect a Web App to the Telegram client, place the script telegram-web-app.js in the <head> tag before any other scripts, using this code (more info):
<script src="https://telegram.org/js/telegram-web-app.js"></script>
Once the script is connected, a window.Telegram.WebApp object will become available.
React + TypeScript + Vite
This template provides a minimal setup to get React working in Vite with HMR and some ESLint rules.
Currently, two official plugins are available:
- @vitejs/plugin-react uses Babel for Fast Refresh
- @vitejs/plugin-react-swc uses SWC for Fast Refresh
Expanding the ESLint configuration
If you are developing a production application, we recommend updating the configuration to enable type aware lint rules:
- Configure the top-level
parserOptionsproperty like this:
export default {
// other rules...
parserOptions: {
ecmaVersion: 'latest',
sourceType: 'module',
project: ['./tsconfig.json', './tsconfig.node.json'],
tsconfigRootDir: __dirname,
},
}
- Replace
plugin:@typescript-eslint/recommendedtoplugin:@typescript-eslint/recommended-type-checkedorplugin:@typescript-eslint/strict-type-checked - Optionally add
plugin:@typescript-eslint/stylistic-type-checked - Install eslint-plugin-react and add
plugin:react/recommended&plugin:react/jsx-runtimeto theextendslist
