Telegram Bot Template

That is template for telegram bots based on next stack of technologies:

• Kotlin Coroutines
• Kotlin Serialization
• Telegram Bot API Library (by default everything is included like it was described here)

Default

Since you have used this repo as a template you can simply run command ./gradlew run --args="BOT_TOKEN" (of course, replace here BOT_TOKEN with your telegram bot token like 1234567890:ABCDEFGHIJKLM_OPqrstuvwxyz012345678). As an output you will get your bot information like:

ExtendedBot(id=ChatId(chatId=1234567890), username=Username(username=@username_of_your_bot), firstName=Name of bot, lastName=, canJoinGroups=(some boolean), canReadAllGroupMessages=(some boolean), supportsInlineQueries=(some boolean))

Docker

In this template there is template-like docker-compose and docker files. Besides, there is Makefile and you may use something like make buildAndStartCompose to start your bot.

It is important to replace "TOKEN" in Dockerfile or remove and add some config as a volume.

What next?

There are several ways to continue:

• Tutorials
• Github readme

In other words, this template (and TelegramBotAPI library) does not limit you on choosing of way to continue 😊
