Telegram Task Tracker Bot

A simple Telegram bot built with Node.js for managing tasks. Each user can maintain their own list of tasks, with features to add, list, and remove tasks.

Features

• Add tasks: Use the /add command to add a new task to your list.
• List tasks: Use the /list command to view all your current tasks.
• Remove tasks: Use the /remove command to delete a task by its number in the list.

Commands

• /start: Start the bot and receive a welcome message with usage instructions.

  Example:

  /start
  

• /add : Add a new task to your list. The task description is limited to 1024 characters.

  Example:

  /add Buy groceries
  

• /list: List all tasks associated with your account.

  Example:

  /list
  

• /remove <task_number>: Remove a task from your list by specifying its number. Task numbers start from 1.

  Example:

  /remove 2
  

Installation

To set up and run the bot on your local machine, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/SublimatedBerry/nodejs_telegram_taskmgr.git
   cd nodejs_telegram_taskmgr
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Set up your bot token. Obtain a bot token from BotFather and replace 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN' in the bot.js file with your token:

   const token = 'YOUR_TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN';
   

4. Run the bot:

   node bot.js
   

Data Storage

Tasks are stored in a JSON file named tasks.json. This file tracks tasks for each user using their chat ID. Ensure the bot process has write access to this file.

Limitations

• The maximum length for a task is 1024 characters.
• The current implementation uses a JSON file for data storage, which may not be ideal for high-traffic scenarios. For production use, consider migrating to a database.
