Setting Up Your Bot with TBL Codes

A complete beginner-friendly guide to add your first TBL (Tele Bot Lang) code to your Telegram bot.

Introduction to TBL

TBL (Tele Bot Lang) is a lightweight scripting language designed for Telegram bot development. Its JavaScript-inspired syntax and built-in functions make creating bots fast and easy, without external dependencies.

Key Features of TBL

• Simplified command-based structure for bots
• Predefined variables for user, chat, and message context
• Built-in API methods for sending messages, keyboards, and inline responses
• Support for HTTP requests, global variables, and modular extensions
• Supports both synchronous (80%) and asynchronous (20%) execution with await and Promise
• Responds to specific command triggers rather than general events

Step 1: Access Your Bot

Ensure your bot is already added to TeleBotHost. Go to the Bot List and click on your bot's name to open its management panel.

Step 2: Open the Commands Tab

Navigate to the Commands tab. You should see the /start command created in your first tutorial.

Step 3: Open the Code Editor

Click on the command name (/start) to open the TBL code editor.

Step 4: Add Your First TBL Code

Type the following simple code in the editor to send a message:

Bot.sendMessage("Hello! This message is from Bot codes");

Step 5: Save Your Code

Click the Save button at the bottom to store your changes.

Step 6: Test Your Bot

Go to Telegram, open your bot, and send /start. Your bot should reply with the message you added in TBL.

Congratulations!
