    Accessors

    • get customVerificationEmojiId(): Long | null

      If non-null, this user was verified by a bot, and this field contains the ID of the custom emoji to display as the verification icon.

      Returns Long | null

    • get dcId(): number | null

      User's or bot's assigned DC (data center). Available only in case the user has set a public profile photo.

      Note: this information is approximate; it is based on where Telegram stores a user profile pictures and does not by any means tell you the user location (i.e. a user might travel far away, but will still connect to its assigned DC). More info at Pyrogram FAQ.

      Returns number | null

    • get fullPhoto(): Photo | null

      Full information about this chat's photo, if any.

      Unlike Chat.photo, this field contains additional information about the photo, such as its date, more sizes, and is the only way to get the animated profile photo.

      This field takes into account any personal/fallback photo that the user may have set

      Returns Photo | null

    • get inputPeer(): TypeInputPeer

      Get this user's input peer for advanced use-cases.

      Note: for min users, this method will return mtcute.dummyInputPeerMinUser, which is actually not a valid input peer. These are used to indicate that the user is incomplete, and a message reference is needed to resolve the peer.

      Such objects are handled by TelegramClient.resolvePeer method, so prefer using it whenever you need an input peer.

      Returns TypeInputPeer

    • get isMin(): boolean

      Whether this user's information is incomplete.

      This usually only happens in large chats, where the server sometimes sends only a part of the user's information. Basic info like name and profile photo are always available, but other fields may be omitted despite being available.

      For a rough list of fields that may be missing, see the official docs.

      This currently only ever happens for non-bot users, so if you are building a normal bot, you can safely ignore this field.

      To fetch the "complete" user information, use one of these methods:

      Learn more: Incomplete peers

      Returns boolean

    • get statusHiddenByMe(): boolean

      Whether user's online status is hidden because we have hidden our own online status from them, and we don't have Premium subscription.

      Returns boolean

    Methods

    • Create a mention for the user.

      When available and text is omitted, this method will return @username. Otherwise, text mention is created.

      Use null as text (first parameter) to force create a text mention with display name, even if there is a username.

      Note: This method doesn't format anything on its own. Instead, it returns a MessageEntity that can later be used with html or md template tags

      Parameters

      • Optionaltext: string | null

        Text of the mention.

      Returns string | MessageEntity

      msg.replyText(html`Hello, ${msg.sender.mention()`)
      
    • Create a permanent mention for this user.

      Permanent* means that this mention will also contain user's access hash, so even if the user changes their username or the client forgets about that user, it can still be mentioned.

      Telegram might change access hash in some cases, so it may not exactly be permanent. The only way to actually make it permanent is to send it as a message somewhere and load it from there if needed.

      Note that some users (particularly, users with hidden forwards) may not be mentioned like this outside the chats you have in common.

      This method is only needed when the result will be stored somewhere outside current mtcute instance (e.g. saved for later use), otherwise mention will be enough.

      Note: This method doesn't format anything on its own. Instead, it returns a MessageEntity that can later be used with html or md template tags

      Note: the resulting text can only be used by clients that support mtcute notation of permanent mention links (tg://user?id=123&hash=abc).

      Also note that these permanent mentions are only valid for current account, since peer access hashes are account-specific and can't be used on another account.

      Also note that for some users such mentions might not work at all due to privacy settings.

      Parameters

      • Optionaltext: string | null

        Mention text

      Returns MessageEntity
