Creating a Mini-App in Telegram Using ngrok and Vite

In this article, we will discuss how to create a mini-app for Telegram using ngrok for tunneling and Vite for development. By following simple steps, you will be able to deploy your application and test it in Telegram.

Step 1: Installing ngrok​

First, you need to install ngrok, which will allow you to create a secure tunnel to your local server. If you have Chocolatey installed, you can install ngrok using the following command:

choco install ngrok

If you do not have Chocolatey, download ngrok from the official website and follow the installation instructions.

Step 2: Setting Up the Vite Project​

After installing ngrok, create a new project using Vite or open an existing one. In the package.json file, you need to add scripts to run the application. Open package.json and add the following lines to the scripts section:

"scripts": {
  "start": "vite",
  "start80": "vite --port 80"
}

These commands will allow you to run the application on port 80.

Шаг 3: Установка gsudo​

gsudo — это утилита, которая позволяет запускать команды с повышенными правами в Windows. Установите gsudo, если он у вас еще не установлен. Вы можете установить его с помощью Chocolatey:

choco install gsudo

Step 4: Running the Application​

Now you are ready to run the application. To do this, execute the following command in the terminal:

gsudo npm run start80

This command will start your application on port 80 with elevated privileges.

Step 5: Starting ngrok​

Now open a new terminal and navigate to the root folder of your project. Start ngrok by executing the following command:

ngrok http 80

ngrok will create a secure tunnel to your local server and provide you with a public URL that you can use to access your application from Telegram.

Step 6: Setting Up Telegram​

  1. Go to Telegram and create a new bot using @BotFather.
  2. Get your bot token and save it.
  3. Set up a webhook for your bot using the URL provided by ngrok. Enter the following command in the terminal:
curl -X POST https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/setWebhook?url=<NGROK_URL>

Replace <YOUR_BOT_TOKEN> with your bot token and <NGROK_URL> with the URL obtained from ngrok.

Conclusion​

Creating a mini-app in Telegram using ngrok and Vite is a simple and effective way to quickly deploy and test your application. By following the steps provided, you will be able to set up the environment and run your bot in just a few minutes. Good luck with your development!
