Telegram-Date Picker

[smanjunath211]

I am revisiting this requirement.
I want the user interacting through telegram to give me a valid-date (to generate a daily report for the given date). So i am trying to invoke a datepicker in telegram keyboard. anyone have any hint?
I checked here, but was unable to get it converted to my requirement.

Telegram Bot to ask for a date

[demo1] something like this.

Plenty of clues in here I imagine: https://flows.nodered.org/flow/328768dd440515c3b039d289313f95bc#:~:text=picker%20via%20Telegram.-,Overview,date%20manipulations%20throughout%20the%20flow.

Thanks for the direction. not sure why this didn't come in my search.
I tried all the steps given in the post, but unable to get it going.
i am getting a message :

27/12/2024, 14:13:53node: Initial Show Calendar
function : (error)
"TypeError: moment is not a function"

I have updated the correct settings.file (the same file which shows up in the startup log)

I think i have installed moment in the correct user folder, from where i am runnnig this instance of node-red. (how do i check if this is successful ?)

Did you install moment and add the requires to your settings.js
As shown in the flows setup instructions. steps 1-3 here

Or delete all references to

const moment = global.get('moment');

From any of the functions and add moment to the setup tab.

Making sure functionExternalModules is set to true in the settings.js Writing Functions : Node-RED

@E1cid

delete all references to

const moment = global.get('moment');

and
adding moment in the setup tab worked...
