Facebook Messenger Chatbot: Using NodeJS Fetch function and New Line

Here is the code:

const PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN = "your_long_FB_page_access_token"
let my_return_answer = 'my answer<br>another answer'

// Construct the message body
let request_body = {
    "recipient": {
        "id": senderID // This value coming from webhook_event.sender.id
    },
    "message": {
        "text": my_return_answer.replace(/<br>/g, "\r\n")
    }
}

fetch("https://graph.facebook.com/v2.6/me/messages/?access_token=" + PAGE_ACCESS_TOKEN, {
    method: "POST",
    body: JSON.stringify(request_body),
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
}).then((res) => res.json())
.then((fb_json) => {
    console.log({fb_json})
})
