Create scraper plugin for telegram bot on nestjs

#kaufmanbot #nestjs #scraper #currency

Create empty plugin

Add new library plugins

npm run -- nx g @nrwl/nest:lib plugins/server

endy@endy-virtual-machine:~/Projects/current/kaufman-bot$ npm run -- nx g @nrwl/nest:lib plugins/server

> kaufman-bot@0.0.0 nx
> nx "g" "@nrwl/nest:lib" "plugins/server"

CREATE libs/plugins/server/README.md
CREATE libs/plugins/server/.babelrc
CREATE libs/plugins/server/src/index.ts
CREATE libs/plugins/server/tsconfig.json
CREATE libs/plugins/server/tsconfig.lib.json
UPDATE tsconfig.base.json
CREATE libs/plugins/server/project.json
UPDATE workspace.json
CREATE libs/plugins/server/.eslintrc.json
CREATE libs/plugins/server/jest.config.js
CREATE libs/plugins/server/tsconfig.spec.json
CREATE libs/plugins/server/src/lib/plugins-server.module.ts

Create config interface file ./libs/plugin/server/src/lib/scraper/scraper-config/scraper.config.ts

export const SCRAPER_CONFIG = 'SCRAPER_CONFIG';

export interface ScraperConfig {
  uri: string;
  timeout?: number;
  contentSelector: string;
  contentLength?: number;
  contentCodepage?: string;
  spyWords: string[];
  removeWords?: string[];
  help: string;
  helpLocale?: { [locale: string]: string };
}

Add enum commands for work plugin libs/plugin/server/src/lib/scraper/scraper-types/scraper-commands.ts

export enum ScraperCommandsEnum {
  help = 'help',
}

Add plugin service without logic libs/plugins/server/src/lib/scraper/scraper-services/scraper.service.ts

import { Inject, Injectable, Logger } from '@nestjs/common';
import { Message as Msg, On, Update } from 'nestjs-telegraf';
import {
  ScraperConfig,
  SCRAPER_CONFIG,
} from '../scraper-config/scraper.config';
import { ScraperCommandsEnum } from '../scraper-types/scraper-commands';

@Update()
@Injectable()
export class ScraperService {
  private readonly logger = new Logger(ScraperService.name);

  constructor(
    @Inject(SCRAPER_CONFIG)
    private readonly scraperConfig: ScraperConfig
  ) {}

  @On('text')
  async onMessage(@Msg() msg) {
    const locale = msg.from?.language_code || null;
    const spyWord = this.scraperConfig.spyWords.find((spyWord) =>
      msg.text.toLowerCase().includes(spyWord.toLowerCase())
    );
    if (spyWord) {
      if (
        msg.text.includes(`/${ScraperCommandsEnum.help}`) ||
        msg.text.includes(ScraperCommandsEnum.help)
      ) {
        const replayHelpMessage =
          (locale && this.scraperConfig.helpLocale?.[locale]) ||
          this.scraperConfig.help;
        return replayHelpMessage;
      }

      const preparedText = msg.text
        .split(spyWord)
        .join('')
        .split('  ')
        .join('')
        .trim();

      const replayMessage = await this.scrap(preparedText);

      if (replayMessage) {
        return replayMessage;
      }

      this.logger.warn(`Unhandled commands for text: "${msg.text}"`);
      this.logger.debug(msg);
    }
    return null;
  }

  private scrap(text: string) {
    return Promise.resolve(text);
  }
}

Update module file, add service libs/plugins/server/src/lib/scraper/scraper.module.ts

import { DynamicModule, Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ScraperConfig, SCRAPER_CONFIG } from './scraper-config/scraper.config';
import { ScraperService } from './scraper-services/scraper.service';

@Module({})
export class ScraperModule {
  static forRoot(config: ScraperConfig): DynamicModule {
    return {
      module: ScraperModule,
      providers: [
        {
          provide: SCRAPER_CONFIG,
          useValue: config,
        },
        ScraperService,
      ],
    };
  }
}

Generate all need files for include lib to app

npm run generate
