This is a wrapper for Telegram Database library written in TypeScript.

• Code style. TDLib follows a different coding convention than best practices in TypeScript or JavaScript. Airgram fixes it.
• Methods. Each API method has convenient wrapper with description and JSDoc documentation.
• Type checking. Airgram is a true TypeScript library. Everything has strict typings, so take full advantage of type checking and code completion.
• Flexibility. Airgram relies on middleware. This gives a high degree of freedom. You can modify requests, save responses, perform any actions in the data flow.
• Data models. You can extend standard TDLib objects and add some computed properties or whatever you want.
• Use everywhere. Airgram is an environment agnostic library. It will work in the browser as well as in Node.js. You can write Telegram client or use it for a Telegram bot backend.
