Say hello to TMA Starter Kit—a ready-to-use, modern development toolkit designed to kickstart your Telegram Mini App journey with minimal fuss and maximum productivity. Whether you’re building a bot with an interactive web interface or exploring Telegram’s growing ecosystem, this starter kit has you covered. Let’s unpack what it is, why it’s awesome, and how it can supercharge your next project.
TMA Starter Kit is a pre-built foundation for creating Telegram Mini Apps—small, interactive web applications that live inside Telegram bots. Think of it as your launchpad: a fully integrated stack with a sleek frontend, a sturdy backend, and DevOps tools to tie it all together. Instead of wrestling with boilerplate code or piecing together technologies, you get a polished starting point that’s ready to run out of the box.
Built by developers, for developers, this kit is all about speed, simplicity, and scalability. It’s perfect for:
Telegram Mini Apps are taking off—businesses, creators, and developers are tapping into their potential to deliver seamless, in-app experiences. But setting up a TMA from scratch can be a headache: configuring a frontend, wiring up a backend, managing a database, and deploying it all takes time. That’s where TMA Starter Kit shines. Here’s why you’ll love it:
No more Googling “how to connect Vue.js with Go” or “Docker setup for MongoDB.” The kit comes pre-wired with everything you need, so you can focus on building features, not infrastructure.
We’ve picked a stack that’s powerful yet approachable:
With Docker Compose baked in, you can spin up the entire app—frontend, backend, and database—with a single command. Want to share your app with the world? Use the included localtunnel setup to get a public URL in minutes.
The project is split into clear, logical pieces—frontend, backend, and DevOps—so you can tweak, extend, or swap components as your app grows.
We’ve streamlined the process of hooking your app into Telegram. Create a bot, link your Mini App, and you’re live—all with step-by-step guidance.
TMA Starter Kit is organized for clarity and ease of use. Here’s the breakdown:
frontend/
: The heart of your Mini App, powered by Quasar (Vue.js). Written in TypeScript with the Composition API, it’s where you’ll craft the user experience that Telegram users will interact with.backend/
: A Go-based API that handles your app’s logic, data processing, and communication with the frontend. It’s lean, fast, and ready for your custom endpoints.devops/
: Your deployment toolbox—Docker Compose files, CI/CD configurations, and scripts to keep everything running smoothly.
Together, these pieces form a cohesive system that’s Dockerized for consistency and portability. Whether you’re coding on your laptop or deploying to a server, it just works.
Getting started is a breeze. Here’s the quick rundown:
docker compose -f devops/docker-compose.dev.yml up -d
. Your frontend, backend, and MongoDB will spring to life in containers.localtunnel
(lt --port 9000 --subdomain my-app
) to expose your app online with a unique URL.
In less than 15 minutes, you can go from zero to a working Telegram Mini App. No kidding!
Imagine you’re building a bot for a small business—a simple order tracker, say. With TMA Starter Kit, you’d:
Compare that to starting from scratch: hours (or days) of setup, debugging, and deployment woes. With this kit, you’re shipping faster and focusing on what matters—your app’s unique value.
TMA Starter Kit isn’t just a tool—it’s an invitation to build something cool for Telegram’s millions of users. Whether you’re a seasoned dev or just getting started, it’s designed to make your life easier and your projects better.
