InputMediaBuilder

^{ref / core / InputMediaBuilder}

Holds a number of helper methods for building InputMedia* objects. They are useful when sending media groups and when editing media messages.

For example, media groups can be sent like this.

const paths = [
    '/tmp/pic0.jpg',
    '/tmp/pic1.jpg',
    '/tmp/pic2.jpg',
]
const files = paths.map((path) => new InputFile(path))
const media = files.map((file) => InputMediaBuilder.photo(file))
await bot.api.sendMediaGroup(chatId, media)

Media can be edited like this.

const file = new InputFile('/tmp/pic0.jpg')
const media = InputMediaBuilder.photo(file, {
    caption: 'new caption'
})
await bot.api.editMessageMedia(chatId, messageId, media)
