Simple Node.js program that changes emoji status from "Work" to "Sleep" and back depending on time and day of week.

Built with 3 statuses in mind:

• Work: from 15 until 22 every weekday relative to Russia, Samara timezone
• Sleep: from 0 until 15 and from 22 until 0 every weekday relative to the same timezone
• AFK: full weekend

Emojis are taken from default «Bubbles Emoji» emoji set.

All these settings can be adjusted in src/status.ts.

Works if you have Telegram Premium subscription.

Works on gram.js, stores session as local files (.telegram_session directory).

Tested with Jest, covers only status determination function.

Initialized with my personal bootstrapping tool Scaffold.

TypeScript, SWC, Babel used in this project are self-explanatory.

1. Clone this repository

5. Setup with npm run start -- --interactive (note both --), follow instructions in interactive prompt

Warning Make sure to replace path to Node.js with yours. Use this command to get Node.js executable path: which node. Also replace path to this repository, this path is for demonstration purposes and you will likely have different directory.

You can use any frequency you like, but I prefer every hour:

0 * * * * /usr/bin/node /path/to/repo/out/index.js

Every two hours:

0 */2 * * * /usr/bin/node /path/to/repo/out/index.js

Every ½ hour:

*/30 * * * * /usr/bin/node /path/to/repo/out/index.js

And so on...

Must be in project's root (not in src, not in out dirs)
