I'm building a node Telegram bot using node-telegram-bot-api which is amazing so far.
However, I want to listen to messages constantly sent to my bot, so I'm using: 

bot.on('message', (msg) => {
    const Hi = "hi";
    if (msg.text.toString().toLowerCase().indexOf(Hi) === 0) {
        bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id,"Hello dear user");
    } 
});

This runs but then gets to the end of the scripts and closes the node app.
Is there a way of keeping it alive without polling?

  • Have you tried configuring a server, like [express](https://expressjs.com), or using some CLI tools, like [Forever](https://github.com/foreversd/forever)? – Bandantonio Jun 04 '20 at 21:39
