I’m trying to create a telegram bot using telegraf
I read its documentation and I just wanted to start coding using their own examples
this is the example provided in documentation:
const { Telegraf } = require('telegraf')
const bot = new Telegraf(process.env.BOT_TOKEN)
bot.start((ctx) => ctx.reply('Welcome'))
bot.help((ctx) => ctx.reply('Send me a sticker'))
bot.on('sticker', (ctx) => ctx.reply('👍'))
bot.hears('hi', (ctx) => ctx.reply('Hey there'))
bot.launch()
// Enable graceful stop
process.once('SIGINT', () => bot.stop('SIGINT'))
process.once('SIGTERM', () => bot.stop('SIGTERM'))
when i try to run the code,i get the following error:
PS: I have got my BOT_TOKEN
from BotFather and placed it in the .env
thanks in advance

Which version of telegraf are you using?
They updated it recently, still some bugs are not cleared. Remove telegraf, and install 3.38th version, and try to launch again. If won’t work, then something is wrong with your configuration.
It seems you are using old version of node.js that do not support Object.fromEntries
Just update it to at least 12 version
there are some issues with the new version of telegraf.
i currently use version 3.38.0 and it works just fine.
