Telegram Mini App (Telegram web app) with Stars Payment Implementation

This project implements Telegram mini-app payment functionality using twa-dev and the node-telegram-web-api. The client-side and server-side are both required for full functionality.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (version 14 or higher)
• pnpm (package manager)

If you don't have pnpm installed, you can install it via npm:

npm install -g pnpm

You will also need to get a Telegram Bot Token via BotFather on Telegram.

Setup Instructions

Client-Side Setup

1. Navigate to the client directory: In your terminal, move to the client directory where BaseUrl.jsx is located.

2. Change the base URL: In BaseUrl.jsx, update the baseUrl to point to your server:

   baseUrl: "YOUR_HOST";

3. Install dependencies: Run the following command to install all necessary dependencies:

   pnpm install

4. Start the client: After installing dependencies, start the client by running:

   pnpm start

Server-Side Setup

1. Create a .env file: In the server directory, create a .env file and add your Telegram bot token:

   TELEGRAM_TOKEN=YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN

2. Install dependencies: Navigate to the server directory and install the dependencies using:

   pnpm install

3. Start the server: After installation, start the server by running:

   pnpm start

Bot Token

To obtain your Telegram Bot Token, you need to chat with BotFather on Telegram:

1. Open Telegram and search for BotFather.
2. Send the /newbot command and follow the prompts to create your bot.
3. Once your bot is created, BotFather will provide you with the Bot Token. Use this token in your .env file for the server.

Features

• Integration with Telegram Web App to allow users to make star payments.
• Uses node-telegram-web-api to interact with Telegram Bot API.
• The server will handle the API requests from the client and process payments.

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the server and client are running simultaneously for the payment flow to work.
• If you face any issues with the Telegram bot, ensure the Bot Token is correct in your .env file.
