Run node.js app from html by pressing a button

Question

I made a telegram bot in node js and I would like to be able to start it by pressing a button from an html page, how can I do it? also I would like that even after the web page is closed, the bot continues to work.

To run the bot from the console I use the command: node bot.js

The best way will be: Creating a server in nodejs and post the request from the html button.

STEP 1: Create html from for sending request to server: Can a html button perform a POST request?

STEP 2: Create the server for receiving the request and do the work: How is an HTTP POST request made in node.js?

So I should make a node.js server that through the POST request made by html can start the bot? – Mattia Paletti Sep 25 '20 at 14:31
Yes exactly. with this command **node bot.js** you will run the server, and the code of the bot can be in this bot.js file. so when post request called you will run the code of bot. – Hasip Timurtas Sep 25 '20 at 14:33
Thanks, for now I think it's the best solution, I'll try. – Mattia Paletti Sep 25 '20 at 14:35
