# **telme**
#### CLI inline telegram bot notifications

## TL;DR
1. Get a bot token ( [BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather) )
2. `$ npm install -g node-telme`
3. `$ telme --init`
4. Need help? `$ telme --help`

## How do i get a bot token?
 - Get a telegram bot token from the botFather
  - Just talk to [BotFather](https://telegram.me/botfather)  and follow a few simple steps. Once you've created a bot and received your authorization token, copy it for later 

## Configure `telme`

Simply run `$ telme --init` and follow 2 easy steps. You will need the bot token at this stage.
This will help you generate a `.telmeconfig` file in your home directory. You can always run `--init` again to override values or just edit the file yourself.

## Profiles

You can set multiple profiles, that will target different bots and/or different chats.
> You can use the same bot in all profiles if you like, But the target chat can be different

To initialize a new profile:
```shell
$ telme --init --profile <profile_name>
```

## Examples:
###### Simple message
```shell
$ telme --m "Message to send"
```

In the next example a message will be sent every time the user `user` logs in to a tty.
> Added the next lines at the bottom of `~/.profile` file
```shell
# Telme on login
telme --m "A new Login:\n\`\`\` user: $(whoami) | hostname: $(hostname) | remote ip $(who | cut -d'(' -f2 | cut -d')' -f1)\`\`\` Hope this is you!"
```

###### Task message
Task messages are a simple way to receive a message from your bot once a command has been finished. It will also let you know if you had any errors.
```shell
$ telme docker build . -t my-image/build/that/takes/for/ever
```
In this example, once the docker build has finished you will receive a message.

As mentioned before - you can also specify a profile.

```shell
$ telme -p movie-club curl https://example.com/large/file/download.mp4
```
this will send the message to the `movie-club` profile chat. (By the `movie-club` bot)
