npm WARN deprecated [email protected]: core-js@<3.23.3 is no longer maintained and not recommended for usage due to the number of issues. Because of the V8 engine whims, feature detection in old core-js versions could cause a slowdown up to 100x even if nothing is polyfilled. Some versions have web compatibility issues. Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

Use alternative package of input or in-build readline input library Input package is instructed to install in README.md

Edit: Neither importing this library works

src/main.ts:3:19 - error TS7016: Could not find a declaration file for module 'input'. '/home/cxinu/dev/bot-dev/tg-premium/node_modules/input/dist/lib/index.js' implicitly has an 'any' type.
  Try `npm i --save-dev @types/input` if it exists or add a new declaration (.d.ts) file containing `declare module 'input';`

Here's an implementation using inbuild readline

import { TelegramClient } from "telegram";
import { StringSession } from "telegram/sessions";
import readline from "readline";

const apiId = 123456;
const apiHash = "123456abcdfg";
const stringSession = new StringSession(""); // fill this later with the value from session.save()

const rl = readline.createInterface({
  input: process.stdin,
  output: process.stdout,
});

(async () => {
  console.log("Loading interactive example...");
  const client = new TelegramClient(stringSession, apiId, apiHash, {
    connectionRetries: 5,
  });
  await client.start({
    phoneNumber: async () =>
      await new Promise<string>((resolve) =>
        rl.question("Please enter your number: ", resolve)
      ),
    password: async () =>
      await new Promise<string>((resolve) =>
        rl.question("Please enter your password: ", resolve)
      ),
    phoneCode: async () =>
      await new Promise<string>((resolve) =>
        rl.question("Please enter the code you received: ", resolve)
      ),
    onError: (err) => console.log(err),
  });
  console.log("You should now be connected.");
  console.log(client.session.save()); // Save this string to avoid logging in again
  await client.sendMessage("me", { message: "Hello!" });
})();
