Telegram Bot API wrapper for Node.js written in TypeScript

/**
 * ## ForceReply
 * Upon receiving a message with this object, Telegram clients will display a reply interface to the user (act as if
 * the user has selected the bot's message and tapped 'Reply'). This can be extremely useful if you want to create
 * user-friendly step-by-step interfaces without having to sacrifice privacy mode. Not supported in channels and for
 * messages sent on behalf of a Telegram Business account.
 * @see https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#forcereply
