You can catch and process those updates by defining .get(UPDATE_TYPE, callback)

//bot.js
import Botocrat from "@botocrat/core"

const bot = new Botocrat()
  .get("message", (req, res) => 
    res.reply(`Hello ${ req.from.first_name }!`))

  .get("edited_message", (req, res) => 
    console.log("Message edited:", req))

req argument has content of incoming message. You don't have to specify the type, intellisense of your IDE automatically detects from types.

res argument is an incoming message context that has specific methods.
