"},{"location":"krontab/index.html#how-to-use","title":"How to use","text":"There are several ways to configure and use this library:
Anyway, to start some action from time to time you will need to use one of extensions/functions:
val kronScheduler = /* creating of KronScheduler instance */;\nkronScheduler.doWhile {\n// some action\ntrue // true - repeat on next time\n}\nIf you want to include krontab in your project, just add next line to your dependencies part:
implementation \"dev.inmo:krontab:$krontab_version\"\nNext version is the latest currently for the library:
For old version of Gradle, instead of implementation word developers must use compile.
Developers can use more simple way to configure repeat times is string. String configuring like a crontab, but with a little bit different meanings:
/--------------- Seconds\n| /------------- Minutes\n| | /----------- Hours\n| | | /--------- Days of months\n| | | | /------- Months\n| | | | | /----- (optional) Year\n| | | | | | /--- (optional) Timezone offset\n| | | | | | | / (optional) Week days\n* * * * * * 0o *w\nIt is different with original crontab syntax for the reason, that expected that in practice developers will use seconds and minutes with more probability than months (for example) or even years. In fact, developers will use something like:
doWhile(\"/5 * * * *\") {\nprintln(\"Called\")\ntrue // true - repeat on next time\n}\nAn other version:
doInfinity(\"/5 * * * *\") {\nprintln(\"Called\")\n}\nBoth of examples will print Called message every five seconds.
Also, this library currently supports DSL for creating the same goals:
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\nfrom (0) every 5\n}\n}\nkronScheduler.doWhile {\nprintln(\"Called\")\ntrue // true - repeat on next time\n}\nOr
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\n0 every 5\n}\n}\nkronScheduler.doWhile {\nprintln(\"Called\")\ntrue // true - repeat on next time\n}\nOr
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\n0 every 5\n}\n}\nkronScheduler.doInfinity {\nprintln(\"Called\")\n}\nAll of these examples will do the same things: print Called message every five seconds.
With regular doOnce/doWhile/doInfinity there are two types of their variations: local and timezoned. Local variations (doOnceLocal/doWhileLocal/doInfinityLocal) will pass DateTime as an argument into the block:
doInfinityLocal(\"/5 * * * *\") {\nprintln(it) // will print current date time\n}\nTimezoned variations (doOnceTz/doWhileTz/doInfinityTz) will do the same thing but pass as an argument DateTimeTz:
doInfinityTz(\"/5 * * * * 0o\") {\nprintln(it) // will print current date time in UTC\n}\nIt is useful in cases when you need to get the time of calling and avoid extra calls to system time.
"},{"location":"krontab/index.html#helpful-table-for","title":"Helpful table for","text":"No args LocalDateTime Local DateTimeTz with offset of KronScheduler Call only near time doOnce doOnceLocal doOnceTz Call while condition is true doWhile doWhileLocal doWhileTz Work infinity* doInfinity doInfinityLocal doInfinityTz *Here there is an important notice, that Work infinity is not exactly infinity. Actually, that means that do while coroutine is alive and in fact executing will be stopped when coroutine became cancelled.
Any KronSchedulercan e converted to a Flow<DateTime using extension asFlow:
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\n0 every 1\n}\n}\nval flow = kronScheduler.asFlow()\nSo, in this case any operations related to flow are available and it is expected that they will work correctly. For example, it is possible to use this flow with takeWhile:
flow.takeWhile {\ncondition()\n}.collect {\naction()\n}\nOffsets in this library works via passing parameter ending with o in any place after month config. Currently there is only one format supported for offsets: minutes of offsets. To use time zones you will need to call next method with DateTimeTz argument or nextTimeZoned method with any KronScheduler instance, but in case if this scheduler is not instance of KronSchedulerTz it will work like you passed just DateTime.
Besides, in case you wish to use time zones explicitly, you will need to get KronSchedulerTz. It is possible by:
createSimpleScheduler/buildSchedule/KrontabTemplate#toSchedule/KrontabTemplate#toKronScheduler methods with passing defaultOffset parameterSchedulerBuilder#build/createSimpleScheduler/buildSchedule/KrontabTemplate#toSchedule/KrontabTemplate#toKronScheduler methods with casting to KronSchedulerTz in case you are pretty sure that it is timezoned KronSchedulerKronSchedulerTzUnlike original CRON, here week days:
AND: cron date time will search first day which will pass requirement according all parameters including week days0-3w, 0,1,2,3w, etc.monthKronScheduler is the simple interface with only one function next. This function optionally get as a parameter DateTime which will be used as start point for the calculation of next trigger time. This function will return the next DateTime when something must happen.
Default realisation (CronDateTimeScheduler) can be created using several ways:
buildSchedule (or createSimpleScheduler) functions with crontab-like syntax parameterbuildSchedule (or SchedulerBuilder object), which using lambda to configure schedulerIn the examples below the result of created scheduler will be the same.
"},{"location":"krontab/describing/krontabscheduler.html#crontab-like-way","title":"Crontab-like way","text":"Crontab-like syntax
See String format for more info about the crontab-line syntax
This way will be very useful for cases when you need to configure something via external configuration (from file on startup or via some parameter from requests, for example):
val schedule = \"5 * * * *\"\nval scheduler = buildSchedule(schedule)\nscheduler.asFlow().onEach {\n// this block will be called every minute at 5 seconds\n}.launchIn(someCoroutineScope)\nIn case of usage builder (lets call it lambda way), you will be able to configure scheduler in more type-safe way:
val scheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\nat(5)\n}\n}\nscheduler.asFlow().onEach {\n// this block will be called every minute at 5 seconds\n}.launchIn(someCoroutineScope)\nYou are always able to use your own realisation of scheduler. For example:
class RandomScheduler : KronScheduler {\noverride suspend fun next(relatively: DateTime): DateTime {\nreturn relatively + DateTimeSpan(seconds = Random.nextInt() % 60)\n}\n}\nIn the example above we have created RandomScheduler, which will return random next time in range 0-60 seconds since relatively argument.

You are always may create your own scheduler. In this section will be presented different ways and examples around standard CronDateTimeScheduler builders buildSchedule. You can read about schedulers in KrontabScheduler
Currently, buildSchedule is the recommended start point for every scheduler. Usually, it is look like:
val scheduler = buildSchedule(\"5 * * * *\")\nOr:
val scheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\nat(5)\n}\n}\nOn the top of any KronScheduler currently there are several groups of extensions:
All executes are look like do.... All executes are described below:
doOnce - will get the next time for executing, delay until that time and call block with returning of the block resultdoWhile - will call doOnce while it will return true (that means that block must return true if it expects that next call must happen). In two words: it will run while block returning truedoInfinity - will call the block using doWhile with predefined returning true. In two words: it will call block while it do not throw errorShortcuts are the constants that are initializing in a lazy way to provide preset KronSchedulers. For more info about KrontabScheduler you can read its own page.
AnyTimeScheduler - will always return incoming DateTime as nextEvery*Scheduler - return near * since the passed relatively:EverySecondScheduler / KronScheduler.everyMillisecondEverySecondScheduler / KronScheduler.everySecondEveryMinuteScheduler / KronScheduler.everyMinuteEveryHourScheduler / KronScheduler.hourlyEveryDayOfMonthScheduler / KronScheduler.dailyEveryMonthScheduler / KronScheduler.monthlyEveryYearScheduler / KronScheduler.annuallyHere currently there is only one extension for KronScheduler: KronScheduler#asFlow. As a result you will get Flow<DateTime> (in fact SchedulerFlow) which will trigger next emit on each not null next DateTime
In two words, you must add dependency dev.inmo:krontab:$krontab_version to your project. The latest version presented by next badge:
To use this library, you will need to include MavenCentral repository in you project
mavenCentral()\nNext snippets must be placed into your dependencies part of build.gradle (for gradle) or pom.xml (for maven).
implementation \"dev.inmo:krontab:$krontab_version\"\n<dependency>\n<groupId>dev.inmo</groupId>\n<artifactId>krontab</artifactId>\n<version>${krontab_version}</version>\n</dependency>\nIt is simple and easy-to-use tool for logging on the most popular platforms in Kotlin Multiplatform:
By default, KSLog is using built-in tools for logging on each supported platform:
java.util.logging.Logger for JVMandroid.util.Log for AndroidConsole for JSBut you always may create your logger and customize as you wish:
KSLog.default = KSLog { level: LogLevel, tag: String?, message: Any, throwable: Throwable? ->\n// do your logging\n}\nThis library also supports native targets in experimental mode. By default, all native targets will use simple printing in the console
"},{"location":"kslog/index.html#how-to-use","title":"How to use","text":""},{"location":"kslog/index.html#fast-travel","title":"Fast-travel","text":"Just use some boring extensions like:
KSLog.i(\"Some message\")\n// OR\nKSLog.i(\"Some tag\", \"Some message\")\n// OR\nKSLog.i(\"Some tag\", \"Some message\", IllegalArgumentException(\"So, that is exception :)\"))\n// OR\nKSLog.i(\"Some optional tag\", Exception(\"Optional\")) { \"Lazy inited message\" }\n// OR\nKSLog.iS(\"Some optional tag\", Exception(\"Optional\")) { \"Lazy inited message for suspendable calculation of text\" }\n// OR EVEN\nKSLog.l(LogLevel.INFO, \"Some tag\", \"Some message\", IllegalArgumentException(\"So, that is exception :)\"))\n// OR\nKSLog.l(LogLevel.INFO, \"Some optional tag\", IllegalArgumentException(\"So, that is exception :)\")) { \"And lazily inited message\" }\nThere are several important \u201cterms\u201d in context of this library:
KSLog.default or simply KSLog)KSLog functions and passed anywhere as KSLog)KSLog.i/KSLog.infoAny.logger which allow you to create logger binded to the default with the tag based on the class of receiverapply, the receiver will be different with your class inside of that applyEvery logging extension (like KSLog.i) have its analog with lazy inited message text and the same one with suffix S (like KSLog.iS) for the suspendable message calculation.
Default logger can be created by passing defaultTag and one of variants log level filters: set or minimal loggable level. In JVM you also may setup any logger as base logger for default realizations of KSLog. Besides, you may use your own callback (on any target platform) as output of logging:
val logger = KSLog { logLevel, optionalTag, message, optionalThrowable ->\nprintln(\"[$logLevel] $optionalTag - $message: $optionalThrowable.stackTraceToString()\")\n}\nIn the example above we will take the logger which will just print incoming data as common output.

On this page all the messages will be just simple String, but you may pass any object as the message
As has been said in the setup section, this library contains next levels of logging with their default representations on each platform:
Weight (by order) LogLevel name JS JVM Loggers Android 0 DEBUG console.log Level.FINEST Log.d 1 VERBOSE console.info Level.FINE Log.v 2 INFO console.info Level.INFO Log.i 3 WARNING console.warn Level.WARNING Log.w 4 ERROR console.error Level.SEVERE Log.e 5 ASSERT console.error Level.SEVERE Log.wtfEach of these levels have fullname and shortname shortcat extensions:
KSLog.debug/KSLog.d/KSLog.dSKSLog.verbose/KSLog.v/KSLog.vSKSLog.info/KSLog.i/KSLog.iSKSLog.warning/KSLog.w/KSLog.wSKSLog.error/KSLog.e/KSLog.eSKSLog.assert/KSLog.wtf/KSLog.wtfSAnd any of these shortcuts may accept one of several arguments combinations:
S suffix for suspendable messages creating, for exampleSo, when you want to log some expected exception, there are three common ways to do it:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.info(tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.infoS(tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.info(\"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.info(tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nOf course, any of this calls can be shortenned:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.i(tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.iS(tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.i(\"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.i(tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nThere is special shortcat - for base performLog. In that case the only change is that you will require to pass the LogLevel more obviously:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.logS(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nOR
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.lS(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nimplementation \"dev.inmo:kslog:$kslog_version\"\nimplementation(\"dev.inmo:kslog:$kslog_version\")\n<dependency>\n<groupId>dev.inmo</groupId>\n<artifactId>kslog</artifactId>\n<version>${kslog_version}</version>\n</dependency>\nThe main point in setup in your code is to setup default logger:
KSLog.default = KSLog(\"defaultTag\")\nYou may use custom messageFormatter in any of KSLog factory to customize output of KSLog logging. For example:
KSLog(\n\"loggingWithCustomFormat\",\nmessageFormatter = { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nprintln(\"[$level] $tag - $message: $throwable\")\n}\n)\nAdditionally you may use one of several different settings:
minLoggingLevel - minimal logging level for the log which will be logged. The order of log level is next:levels - and iterable with the levels which should be loggedfirstLevel,secondLevel,otherLevels - as levels, but vararg :)In case you are passing minLoggingLevel, the level and more important levels will be passed to logs. For example, when you are settings up your logger as in next snippet:
val logger = KSLog(\n\"exampleTag\",\nminLoggingLevel = LogLevel.INFO\n)\nThe next levels will be logged with logger:
INFOWARNINGERRORASSERTIt is logger which will call incoming performLogCallback on each logging. This logger can be create simply with one callback:
KSLog { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nprintln(\"[$level] $tag - $message: $throwable\")\n}\nIt is simple value class which can be used for zero-cost usage of some tag and calling for KSLog.default. For example, if you will create tag logger with next code:
val logger = TagLogger(\"tagLoggerTag\")\nThe logger will call KSLog.default with the tag tagLoggerTag on each calling of logging.
This pretty simple logger will call its fallbackLogger only in cases when incoming messageFilter will return true for logging:
val baseLogger = KSLog(\"base\") // log everything with the tag `base` if not set other\nval filtered = baseLogger.filtered { _, t, _ ->\nt == \"base\"\n}\nIn the example above baseLogger will perform logs in two ways: when it has been called directly or when we call log performing with the tag \"base\" or null. Besides, you can see there extension filtered which allow to create FilterKSLog logger with simple lambda.
This logger accepts map of types with the target loggers. You may build this logger with the special simple DSL:
val baseLogger = KSLog(\"base\") // log everything with the tag `base` if not set other\nval typed = buildTypedLogger {\non<Int>(baseLogger) // log all ints to the baseLogger\non<Float> { _, _, message, _ ->// log all floats to the passed logger\nprintln(message.toString()) // just print all floats\n}\ndefault { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nKSLog.performLog(level, tag, message, throwable)\n}\n}\nThere are two things which can be useful in your code: logger and logTag extensions. logTag is the autocalculated by your object classname tag. logger extension can be used with applying to any object like in the next snippet:
class SomeClass {\ninit {\nlogger.i(\"inited\")\n}\n}\nThe code above will trigger calling of logging in KSLog.default with level LogLevel.INFO using tag SomeClass and message \"inited\". As you could have guessed, logger is using TagLogger with logTag underhood and the most expensive operation here is automatical calculation of logTag.
loggerFor JVM you may setup additionally use java loggers as the second parameter of KSLog factory. For example:
KSLog(\n\"yourTag\"\nLogger.getLogger(\"YourJavaLoggerName\")\n)\nMicroUtils is a set of libraries to help me (and, I hope, you too) in some routine doings of coding.

In this library there are several ways to use this API:
In the Bot API there is no independent sendLiveLocation method, instead it is suggested to use sendLocation with setting up live_period. In this library in difference with original Bot API live location is special request. It was required because of in fact live locations and static locations are different types of location info and you as bot developer may interact with them differently.
Anyway, in common case the logic looks like:
In difference with sendLiveLocation, startLiveLocation using LiveLocationProvider. With this provider you need not to handle chat and message ids and keep some other data for location changes. Instead, you workflow with provider will be next:
Besides, LiveLocationProvider contains different useful parameters about live location
This way of live locations handling is based on coroutines Flow and allow you to pass some external Flow with EditLiveLocationInfo. So, workflow:
flow {\nvar i = 0\nwhile (isActive) {\nval newInfo = EditLiveLocationInfo(\nlatitude = i.toDouble(),\nlongitude = i.toDouble(),\nreplyMarkup = flatInlineKeyboard {\ndataButton(\"Cancel\", \"cancel\")\n}\n)\nemit(newInfo)\ni++\ndelay(10000L) // 10 seconds\n}\n}\nval currentMessageState = MutableStateFlow<ContentMessage<LocationContent>?>(null)\nhandleLiveLocation(\nit.chat.id,\nlocationsFlow,\nsentMessageFlow = FlowCollector { currentMessageState.emit(it) }\n)\n// this code will be called after `locationsFlow` will ends\nscope.launch {\nhandleLiveLocation(\nit.chat.id,\nlocationsFlow,\nsentMessageFlow = FlowCollector { currentMessageState.emit(it) }\n)\n}\n// this code will be called right after launch will be completed\nSee our example to get more detailed sample

Resize option
In the screenshots above (and in the most others) you may see usage of reply keyboards without resize_keyboard. In case you will use resize_keyboard = true the keyboard will be smaller.
Note the differences in the way these keyboards are shown to a user.
A reply keyboard is shown under the message input field. It replaces the device\u2019s native input method on a mobile device.
An inline keyboard is shown as a part of the message in the chat.
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#simple-keyboard-interactions","title":"Simple Keyboard Interactions","text":"When a user clicks on a simple reply keyboard button, its text is just sent in the chat.
When a user clicks on a simple inline keyboard button, nothing is sent to the chat. Instead, a callback query (a fancy way to say \u201ca request\u201d) is sent directly to the bot and the button is highlighted. It will stay highlighted until the bot acks the callback.
It\u2019s a common mistake to forget to handle callback queries
It leads to the buttons being highlighted for long periods of time, which leads to a bad user experience. Don\u2019t forget to handle these callbacks!
As new messages arrive, a reply keyboard will stay there, while the inline keyboard will stick to the message and move with it.
Ups\u2026 The reply keyboard is now far away from the message it was sent with.
Actually, they are two different unrelated entities now: the original message and the reply keyboard. A reply keyboard persists until you explicitly remove it or replace it with a different one.
It\u2019s a common mistake to forget to remove or replace reply keyboards
It leads to the keyboards being shown forever. Don\u2019t forget to remove reply keyboards when you don\u2019t need them anymore!
You also may use option one_time_keyboard and the keyboard will be automatically removed after user interaction
An inline keyboard could also be removed or changed by editing the original message it was attached to.
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#extended-keyboard-interactions","title":"Extended Keyboard Interactions","text":"Keyboards are not limited to text only. They could be used to ask users for different things, like payments, locations, phone numbers, etc. They could be used to open arbitrary URLs or web apps. Telegram clients process these buttons and interact with the users in the appropriate ways.
For the full list of options, see the official documentation on reply and inline keyboards.
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#basic-api-classes","title":"Basic API & Classes","text":"Now, that you know the basics, let\u2019s see how to use the library.
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#keyboards","title":"Keyboards","text":"In Telegram Bot API keyboards are sent to the user as a part of an interaction via the reply_markup parameter. More specifically, this parameter is available:
sendXXX methods, like sendMessage, sendPhoto, sendSticker, etc.copyMessage methodeditMessageXXX methods, like editMessageText, editMessageCaption, editMessageReplyMarkup, etc. This also includes stopXXX methods like the stopMessageLiveLocation method.Tip
editMessageReplyMarkup is specifically designed to edit a message\u2019s inline keyboard.
Sending inline keyboards is also supported in inline mode through the reply_markup parameter of the InlineQueryResult type and its inheritors. However, this inline mode is unrelated to the inline keyboards.
The reply_markup parameter accepts four different types. Two of them \u2014 ReplyKeyboardMarkup and InlineKeyboardMarkup \u2014 correspond to the reply and inline keyboards respectively. The ReplyKeyboardRemove type is used to remove reply keyboards, but it\u2019s not a keyboard itself. The last one, ForceReply, is used to force users to reply to the bot. It is not a keyboard either, but yet another dirty hack employed by the Telegram Bot API.
Now, in the library, the WithReplyMarkup is a marker interface for all the interactions which could have a replyMarkup (represents reply_markup) parameter. It is extended by the ReplyingMarkupSendMessageRequest, and then, finally, by classes like SendTextMessage. This, basically, corresponds to the Telegram Bot API.
Note
You may see all the inheritors of WithReplyMarkup interfaces in the corresponding KDoc
The other way to send a keyboard is through the replyMarkup parameter of the numerous extension methods, like sendMessage. Those are just convenient wrappers around general interaction classes, like the aforementioned SendTextMessage.
As we already know, keyboards consist of buttons. Button classes reside in the dev.inmo.tgbotapi.types.buttons package.
The base class for the reply keyboard buttons is the KeyboardButton. The base class for the inline keyboard buttons is the InlineKeyboardButton.
See their inheritors for the full list of the available buttons. The names are pretty self-explanatory and correspond to the Telegram Bot API.
For example, to send a simple reply keyboard button, use the SimpleKeyboardButton class. To request a contact from the user through the reply, use the RequestContactKeyboardButton class. To attach a URL button to the message, use the URLInlineKeyboardButton. And to attach a callback button, use the CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton.
You get the idea.
So, to send a reply keyboard use the following code:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"What is the best Kotlin Telegram Bot API library?\",\nreplyMarkup = ReplyKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = listOf(\nlistOf(\nSimpleKeyboardButton(\"ktgbotapi\"),\n),\n)\n)\n)\nAnd here is how you send a basic inline keyboard:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"ktgbotapi is the best Kotlin Telegram Bot API library\",\nreplyMarkup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = listOf(\nlistOf(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"I know\", \"know\"),\nURLInlineKeyboardButton(\"Learn more\", \"https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/ktgbotapi\")\n),\n)\n),\n)\nWhen we\u2019re done with this simple quiz, we can remove the keyboard with the following code:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"You're goddamn right!\",\nreplyMarkup = ReplyKeyboardRemove()\n)\nNote
Don\u2019t forget to remove the reply keyboards!
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#matrices","title":"Matrices","text":"Buttons in keyboards are arranged in matrices, i.e. two-dimensional arrays, or, to say in layperson\u2019s terms, rows and columns. In contrast to the matrices you\u2019ve learned in school, keyboards are not always necessarily square. Try it:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"In contrast to the matrices you've learned in school, keyboards are not always necessary square.\",\nreplyMarkup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = listOf(\nlistOf(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"1\", \"1\"),\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"2\", \"2\"),\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"3\", \"3\"),\n),\nlistOf(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"4\", \"4\"),\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"5\", \"5\"),\n),\nlistOf(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"6\", \"6\"),\n)\n)\n)\n)\nThis way of building matrices is not very convenient, so the library provides a few eloquent DSLs to simplify that.
First, there are matrix and row, so the keyboard above can be built like this:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"DSLs are sweet!\",\nreplyMarkup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = matrix {\nrow {\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"1\", \"1\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"2\", \"2\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"3\", \"3\")\n}\nrow(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"4\", \"4\"),\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"5\", \"5\"),\n)\nrow {\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"6\", \"6\")\n}\n},\n)\n)\nNote
Those plus signs are mandatory.
Note
There are two different row functions here. Can you spot the difference?
A single-row matrix can be built with a flatMatrix:
flatMatrix {\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"1\", \"1\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"2\", \"2\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"3\", \"3\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"4\", \"4\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"5\", \"5\")\n}\nBut the most convenient way to build a simple keyboard is to use the constructor-like methods: InlineKeyboardMarkup and ReplyKeyboardMarkup. Note, that they are named just like the corresponding constructor, but take a vararg of buttons. They create flat matrices, i.e. single rows.
Finally, there are inlineKeyboard and replyKeyboard
DSL methods above rely on Kotlin\u2019s feature of receivers and extensions. So, the magic is done by MatrixBuilder and RowBuilder. That\u2019s why you must use the plus sign to add buttons to the matrix: it\u2019s just an overloaded operator call, another cool Kotlin feature widely used to create sweet DSLs.
Another bonus of using these DSLs is button builders, like payButton, dataButton, and urlButton:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"All in one!\",\nreplyMarkup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = matrix {\nrow {\npayButton(\"Send money\")\ndataButton(\"Ok\", \"ok\")\nurlButton(\"Google\", \"https://google.com\")\n}\n},\n)\n)\nReply keyboard builders provide similar extensions, e.g. requestLocationButton.
So, choose the style you like \u2014 from plain Kotlin lists to sweet DSLs \u2014 and use it!

As you have already seen, keyboards are just message parameters. Similarly, keyboard interactions are represented by regular Updates. I.e. when a user interacts with a keyboard, the bot receives an update.
On the other hand, the library is heavily typed, so the actual type of update you would receive varies.

Read more about buildBehaviourWithLongPolling here
I hope you get the idea: the bot acts like a cop and asks the user to rat out his friends via a reply keyboard (it\u2019s an imaginary situation, of course). The user may refuse to cooperate, rat out a single friend or the whole imaginary group. The bot receives the user\u2019s choices as regular updates, the code above has explicit types (generally optional in Kotlin) and an assert to demonstrate this.
And here is how it works (the user selects the options in the order):
Note how you handle reply keyboards: you process regular messages. For instance, a simple text button sends a regular text message indistinguishable from a case when a user simply types the same text manually.
And don\u2019t be a rat in real life: remove the keyboards with the ReplyKeyboardRemove after you\u2019ve received the input! Otherwise, a keyboard will stay there indefinitely.
Finally, to master the keyboards, you need to know how to handle the inline ones.
Again, let\u2019s explore the example. Imagine you\u2019re making a quiz where users are given a question and a set of answers. Additionally, users are given a link to the wiki page to help with the question and a Google button.
The quiz could be implemented this way:
// A simple data class to represent a question\nval question = Question(\nimage = \"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Tsunami_by_hokusai_19th_century.jpg\",\nquestion = \"Who painted this?\",\nanswers = listOf(\nAnswer(\"Hokusai\", correct = true),\nAnswer(\"Sukenobu\"),\nAnswer(\"Ch\u014dshun\"),\nAnswer(\"Kiyonobu I\"),\n),\nwiki = \"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e\",\n)\nbot.buildBehaviourWithLongPolling {\nbot.sendPhoto(\nchatId = chat,\nfileId = InputFile.fromUrl(question.image),\ntext = question.question,\nreplyMarkup = inlineKeyboard {\n// First row: answers\nrow {\nfor (answer in question.answers.shuffled()) {\ndataButton(\ntext = answer.answer,\ndata = \"${answer.answer}:${answer.correct}\",\n)\n}\n}\n// Second row: help buttons\nrow {\nurlButton(\"Wiki \ud83d\udc81\", question.wiki)\nwebAppButton(\"Google \ud83d\udd0d\", \"https://google.com\")\n}\n}\n)\nonDataCallbackQuery { callback: DataCallbackQuery ->\nval (answer, correct) = callback.data.split(\":\")\nif (correct.toBoolean()) {\nbot.answerCallbackQuery(\ncallback,\ntext = \"$answer is a \u2705 correct answer!\",\nshowAlert = true\n)\n} else {\nbot.answerCallbackQuery(\ncallback,\ntext = \"\u274c Try again, $answer is not a correct answer\u2026\",\nshowAlert = true\n)\n}\n}\n}.join()\nA few important things to note here.
First, the data buttons (they have the CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton type, but in the code we used a neat DSL) must have unique data. If the data is not unique, Telegram clients will highlight all the buttons with the same data when a user clicks on one of them. Guess how I know that? Well, it\u2019s not in the docs, so trial and error is the only way to learn it (and many other things about the Telegram Bot API).
Second, the way you handle inline keyboards is different from the way you handle reply keyboards. Bot API will send updates with a callback_query field populated. This field, of a CallbackQuery type, represents incoming callbacks from callback buttons in inline keyboards. The library turns them into multiple callback types, like the DataCallbackQuery we used in the example. Finally, to handle these callbacks you could use onDataCallbackQuery. Alternatively, if you\u2019re not using any DSLs, you have to handle the CallbackQueryUpdate update type.
Third, the buttons got highlighted when a user clicks on them. When you\u2019re done with the callback, you need to answer it, by using the answerCallbackQuery function. Otherwise, the button will remain highlighted. Telegram clients will eventually remove the highlight, but it\u2019s still frustrating.
Finally, you could choose between two styles of acknowledgment: a simple toast-like message or a modal alert. The showAlert flag controls this behavior.
And here is the demo of the quiz:
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#conclusion","title":"Conclusion","text":"Today we\u2019ve learned how to use keyboards in Telegram bots. There are two types of keyboards: reply and inline. Reply keyboards replace the device\u2019s keyboard and make clients send a message with the predefined content. Inline keyboards are buttons attached to messages. Clicking on them causes the client to send a callback to the bot. In both scenarios the bot receives an update of a corresponding type and has to acknowledge the keayboard interaction for the client to work properly.

In this case all examples will just throw exception like:
Exception in thread \"main\" java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused\n at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.checkConnect(Native Method)\nat sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.finishConnect(SocketChannelImpl.java:717)\nat io.ktor.network.sockets.SocketImpl.connect$ktor_network(SocketImpl.kt:36)\nat io.ktor.network.sockets.SocketImpl$connect$1.invokeSuspend(SocketImpl.kt)\nat kotlin.coroutines.jvm.internal.BaseContinuationImpl.resumeWith(ContinuationImpl.kt:33)\nat kotlinx.coroutines.DispatchedTask.run(DispatchedTask.kt:56)\nat kotlinx.coroutines.scheduling.CoroutineScheduler.runSafely(CoroutineScheduler.kt:571)\nat kotlinx.coroutines.scheduling.CoroutineScheduler$Worker.executeTask(CoroutineScheduler.kt:738)\nat kotlinx.coroutines.scheduling.CoroutineScheduler$Worker.runWorker(CoroutineScheduler.kt:678)\nat kotlinx.coroutines.scheduling.CoroutineScheduler$Worker.run(CoroutineScheduler.kt:665)\nProcess finished with exit code 1\nThere are several ways to solve this problem:
First of all, you will need to use one more library:
build.gradle:
implementation \"io.ktor:ktor-client-okhttp:2.0.1\"\nDependency note
In the snippet above was used version 2.0.1 which is actual for TelegramBotAPI at the moment of filling this documentation (May 22 2022, TelegramBotAPI version 2.0.0) and you can update version of this dependency in case if it is outdated.
For configuring proxy for your bot inside your program, you can use next snippet:
val botToken = \"HERE MUST BE YOUR TOKEN\"\nval bot = telegramBot(botToken) {\nktorClientEngineFactory = OkHttp\nproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(\"127.0.0.1\", 1080)\n}\nExplanation line by line:
val botToken = \"HERE MUST BE YOUR TOKEN\" - here we are just creating variable botTokenval bot = telegramBot(botToken) { - start creating botktorClientEngineFactory = OkHttp - setting up engine factory of our bot. On the time of documentation filling, OkHttp is one of the engines in Ktor system which supports socks proxy. More you can read on Ktor site in subparts about engines and proxyproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(\"127.0.0.1\", 1080) - here we are setting up our proxy. Here was used local server which (as assumed) will connect to server like shadowsocksAPI extensions is a module which you may include in your project in addition to core part. In most cases this module will allow just use syntax like bot.getUpdates() instead of bot.execute(GetUpdates()), but there are several other things you will achieve with that syntax.
This functionality allow you to build bot in more unified and comfortable way than standard creating with telegramBot function
buildBot(\n\"TOKEN\"\n) {\nproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(host = \"127.0.0.1\", port = 4001) // just an example, more info on https://ktor.io/docs/proxy.html\nktorClientConfig = {\n// configuring of ktor client\n}\nktorClientEngineFactory = {\n// configuring of ktor client engine \n}\n}\nIn standard library requests there are no way to download some file retrieved in updates or after requests. You may use syntax like bot.downloadFile(file) where file is TelegramMediaFile from telegram, FileId or even PathedFile from GetFile request (sources).
By default, you should handle updates of Live location by your code. But with extension bot#startLiveLocation you may provide all necessary startup parameters and handle updates with just calling updateLocation for retrieved LiveLocationProvider.

Behaviour builder with FSM is based on the MicroUtils FSM. There are several important things in FSM:
State - any object which implements State interfaceStateHandler (or CheckableHandlerHolder) - the handler of statesStatesMachine have two methods:
start which will start work of machinestartChain which will add new state for handlingThe most based way to create StatesMachine and register StateHandlers looks like in the next snippet:
buildFSM<TrafficLightState> {\nstrictlyOn<SomeState> {\n// state handling\n}\n}.start(CoroutineScope(...)).join()\nFull example
You may find full example of FSM usage in the tests of FSM in MicroUtils
So, you must do next steps before you will launch your bot with FSM:
There are several extensions for TelegramBot to create your bot with FSM:
All of them will take as an callback some object with type CustomBehaviourContextReceiver and will looks like in the next snippet:
telegramBotWithBehaviourAndFSMAndStartLongPolling<YourStateType>(\"BOT_TOKEN\") {\n// here you may use any operations from BehaviourBuilder\n// here you may use any operations from BehaviourContextWithFSMBuilder like strictlyOn and others\n}\nIn the previous pages about updates handling and was mentioned that currently in the most cases you should use Flows. So, there is an improvement for that system which hide direct work with flows and allow you to create more declarative logic of your bot.

on* extensions for BehaviourContext which allow you to create reaction on some updatewait* extensions which you may use in buildBehaviour function, but it is recommended to use it in bodies of triggersAs was said above, there is buildBehaviour function which allow you set up your bot logic. Let\u2019s see an example:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour {\nonCommand(\"start\") { // creating of trigger\nval message = it\nval content = message.content\nreply(message, \"Ok, send me one photo\") // send text message with replying on incoming message\nval photoContent = waitPhoto().first() // waitPhoto will return List, so, get first element\nval photo = downloadFile(photoContent) // ByteArray of photo\n// some logic with saving of photos\n}\n}\nIn most cases there are opportunity to filter some of messages before starting of main logic. Let\u2019s look at this using the example above:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour {\nonCommand(\n\"start\",\ninitialFilter = {\nit.content.textSources.size == 1 // make sure that user has sent /start without any additions\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\n}\nOR

safelyWithResult {\n// do something\n}.onSuccess { // will be called if everything is right\n// handle success\n}.onFailure { // will be called if something went wrong\n// handle error\nit.printStackTrace()\n}.getOrThrow() // will return value or throw exception\nAlso there is more simple (in some cases) way to handle exceptions with callbacks:
safely(\n{\n// handle error\nit.printStackTrace()\nnull // return value\n}\n) {\n// do something\n}\nThere are two types of handling:
safely(\n{\nit.printStackTrace()\n\"error\"\n}\n) {\nerror(\"Hi :)\") // emulate exception throwing\n\"ok\"\n} // result will be with type String\nsafely, but this type by default allow to return nullable value (when exception was thrown) instead of just throwing (as with safely): safelyWithouExceptions {\n// do something\n} // will returns nullable result type\nThe most simple way to configure exceptions handling is to change CoroutineContext when you are creating your CoroutineScope for bot processing:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour (\nscope = scope,\ndefaultExceptionsHandler = {\nit.printStackTrace()\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\nOR
val bot = telegramBotWithBehaviour (\n\"TOKEN\",\nscope = scope,\ndefaultExceptionsHandler = {\nit.printStackTrace()\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\nHere we have used ContextSafelyExceptionHandler class. It will pass default handling of exceptions and will call the block in most cases when something inside of your bot logic has thrown exception.
According to the documentation there are several ways to work with files:
typealias for the FileId)There are several cases you may need in your app to work with files:
FileId (for sending in future)The most simple way to send some file is to get file id and send it. You may get file id from any message with media. For example, if you have received some Message, you may use asCommonMessage conversation to be able to get its content and then convert it to some content with media. Full code here:
val message: Message;\nval fileId = message.asCommonMessage() ?.withContent<MediaContent>() ?.content ?.media ?.fileId;\nWAT? O.o
In the code above we get some message, safely converted it to CommonMessage with asCommonMessage, then safely took its content via withContent<MediaContent>() ?.content and then just get its media file id.

As a result, you can avoid any extension api (like special API extensions) and use low level request with full controlling of the whole logic flow.
As was written above, it will require some request:
val updates = bot.execute(GetUpdates())\nResult type of GetUpdates request is Update. You may find inheritors of this interface in Update kdocs.

Besides, it will be very useful to know more about updates retrieving.
As you know, Telegram have the feature named Media Groups. Media groups have several differences with the common messages:
Row updates
In tgbotapi there is no any additional handling of media groups by default and in case you will use simple bot.getUpdates, you will get the list of row updates and media groups will be included in this list as separated messages with MediaGroupPartContent. In that case you may use convertWithMediaGroupUpdates to be able to work with media groups as will be described below
In case you are using standard long polling (one of alternatives is telegramBotWithBehaviourAndLongPolling) or webhooks updates will be converted uner the hood and as a result, you will take media groups as a content in one message:
telegramBotWithBehaviourAndLongPolling(\n\"token\"\n) {\nonVisualGallery { // it: CommonMessage<MediaGroupContent<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>>\nit.content // MediaGroupContent<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>\nit.content.group // List<MediaGroupCollectionContent.PartWrapper<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>>\nit.content.group.forEach { // it: MediaGroupCollectionContent.PartWrapper<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>\nit.messageId // source message id for current media group part\nit.sourceMessage // source message for current media group part\nit.content // VisualMediaGroupPartContent\nprintln(it.content) // will print current content part info\n}\n}\n}\nKDocs:

"},{"location":"krontab/index.html#how-to-use","title":"How to use","text":"There are several ways to configure and use this library:
Anyway, to start some action from time to time you will need to use one of extensions/functions:
val kronScheduler = /* creating of KronScheduler instance */;\nkronScheduler.doWhile {\n// some action\ntrue // true - repeat on next time\n}\nIf you want to include krontab in your project, just add next line to your dependencies part:
implementation \"dev.inmo:krontab:$krontab_version\"\nNext version is the latest currently for the library:
For old version of Gradle, instead of implementation word developers must use compile.
Developers can use more simple way to configure repeat times is string. String configuring like a crontab, but with a little bit different meanings:
/--------------- Seconds\n| /------------- Minutes\n| | /----------- Hours\n| | | /--------- Days of months\n| | | | /------- Months\n| | | | | /----- (optional) Year\n| | | | | | /--- (optional) Timezone offset\n| | | | | | | / (optional) Week days\n* * * * * * 0o *w\nIt is different with original crontab syntax for the reason, that expected that in practice developers will use seconds and minutes with more probability than months (for example) or even years. In fact, developers will use something like:
doWhile(\"/5 * * * *\") {\nprintln(\"Called\")\ntrue // true - repeat on next time\n}\nAn other version:
doInfinity(\"/5 * * * *\") {\nprintln(\"Called\")\n}\nBoth of examples will print Called message every five seconds.
Also, this library currently supports DSL for creating the same goals:
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\nfrom (0) every 5\n}\n}\nkronScheduler.doWhile {\nprintln(\"Called\")\ntrue // true - repeat on next time\n}\nOr
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\n0 every 5\n}\n}\nkronScheduler.doWhile {\nprintln(\"Called\")\ntrue // true - repeat on next time\n}\nOr
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\n0 every 5\n}\n}\nkronScheduler.doInfinity {\nprintln(\"Called\")\n}\nAll of these examples will do the same things: print Called message every five seconds.
With regular doOnce/doWhile/doInfinity there are two types of their variations: local and timezoned. Local variations (doOnceLocal/doWhileLocal/doInfinityLocal) will pass DateTime as an argument into the block:
doInfinityLocal(\"/5 * * * *\") {\nprintln(it) // will print current date time\n}\nTimezoned variations (doOnceTz/doWhileTz/doInfinityTz) will do the same thing but pass as an argument DateTimeTz:
doInfinityTz(\"/5 * * * * 0o\") {\nprintln(it) // will print current date time in UTC\n}\nIt is useful in cases when you need to get the time of calling and avoid extra calls to system time.
"},{"location":"krontab/index.html#helpful-table-for","title":"Helpful table for","text":"No args LocalDateTime Local DateTimeTz with offset of KronScheduler Call only near time doOnce doOnceLocal doOnceTz Call while condition is true doWhile doWhileLocal doWhileTz Work infinity* doInfinity doInfinityLocal doInfinityTz *Here there is an important notice, that Work infinity is not exactly infinity. Actually, that means that do while coroutine is alive and in fact executing will be stopped when coroutine became cancelled.
Any KronSchedulercan e converted to a Flow<DateTime using extension asFlow:
val kronScheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\n0 every 1\n}\n}\nval flow = kronScheduler.asFlow()\nSo, in this case any operations related to flow are available and it is expected that they will work correctly. For example, it is possible to use this flow with takeWhile:
flow.takeWhile {\ncondition()\n}.collect {\naction()\n}\nOffsets in this library works via passing parameter ending with o in any place after month config. Currently there is only one format supported for offsets: minutes of offsets. To use time zones you will need to call next method with DateTimeTz argument or nextTimeZoned method with any KronScheduler instance, but in case if this scheduler is not instance of KronSchedulerTz it will work like you passed just DateTime.
Besides, in case you wish to use time zones explicitly, you will need to get KronSchedulerTz. It is possible by:
createSimpleScheduler/buildSchedule/KrontabTemplate#toSchedule/KrontabTemplate#toKronScheduler methods with passing defaultOffset parameterSchedulerBuilder#build/createSimpleScheduler/buildSchedule/KrontabTemplate#toSchedule/KrontabTemplate#toKronScheduler methods with casting to KronSchedulerTz in case you are pretty sure that it is timezoned KronSchedulerKronSchedulerTzUnlike original CRON, here week days:
AND: cron date time will search first day which will pass requirement according all parameters including week days0-3w, 0,1,2,3w, etc.monthKronScheduler is the simple interface with only one function next. This function optionally get as a parameter DateTime which will be used as start point for the calculation of next trigger time. This function will return the next DateTime when something must happen.
Default realisation (CronDateTimeScheduler) can be created using several ways:
buildSchedule (or createSimpleScheduler) functions with crontab-like syntax parameterbuildSchedule (or SchedulerBuilder object), which using lambda to configure schedulerIn the examples below the result of created scheduler will be the same.
"},{"location":"krontab/describing/krontabscheduler.html#crontab-like-way","title":"Crontab-like way","text":"Crontab-like syntax
See String format for more info about the crontab-line syntax
This way will be very useful for cases when you need to configure something via external configuration (from file on startup or via some parameter from requests, for example):
val schedule = \"5 * * * *\"\nval scheduler = buildSchedule(schedule)\nscheduler.asFlow().onEach {\n// this block will be called every minute at 5 seconds\n}.launchIn(someCoroutineScope)\nIn case of usage builder (lets call it lambda way), you will be able to configure scheduler in more type-safe way:
val scheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\nat(5)\n}\n}\nscheduler.asFlow().onEach {\n// this block will be called every minute at 5 seconds\n}.launchIn(someCoroutineScope)\nYou are always able to use your own realisation of scheduler. For example:
class RandomScheduler : KronScheduler {\noverride suspend fun next(relatively: DateTime): DateTime {\nreturn relatively + DateTimeSpan(seconds = Random.nextInt() % 60)\n}\n}\nIn the example above we have created RandomScheduler, which will return random next time in range 0-60 seconds since relatively argument.

Currently, buildSchedule is the recommended start point for every scheduler. Usually, it is look like:
val scheduler = buildSchedule(\"5 * * * *\")\nOr:
val scheduler = buildSchedule {\nseconds {\nat(5)\n}\n}\nOn the top of any KronScheduler currently there are several groups of extensions:
All executes are look like do.... All executes are described below:
doOnce - will get the next time for executing, delay until that time and call block with returning of the block resultdoWhile - will call doOnce while it will return true (that means that block must return true if it expects that next call must happen). In two words: it will run while block returning truedoInfinity - will call the block using doWhile with predefined returning true. In two words: it will call block while it do not throw errorShortcuts are the constants that are initializing in a lazy way to provide preset KronSchedulers.

As a result you will get Flow<DateTime> (in fact SchedulerFlow) which will trigger next emit on each not null next DateTime
In two words, you must add dependency dev.inmo:krontab:$krontab_version to your project. The latest version presented by next badge:
To use this library, you will need to include MavenCentral repository in you project
mavenCentral()\nNext snippets must be placed into your dependencies part of build.gradle (for gradle) or pom.xml (for maven).
implementation \"dev.inmo:krontab:$krontab_version\"\n<dependency>\n<groupId>dev.inmo</groupId>\n<artifactId>krontab</artifactId>\n<version>${krontab_version}</version>\n</dependency>\nIt is simple and easy-to-use tool for logging on the most popular platforms in Kotlin Multiplatform:
By default, KSLog is using built-in tools for logging on each supported platform:
java.util.logging.Logger for JVMandroid.util.Log for AndroidConsole for JSBut you always may create your logger and customize as you wish:
KSLog.default = KSLog { level: LogLevel, tag: String?, message: Any, throwable: Throwable? ->\n// do your logging\n}\nThis library also supports native targets in experimental mode. By default, all native targets will use simple printing in the console
"},{"location":"kslog/index.html#how-to-use","title":"How to use","text":""},{"location":"kslog/index.html#fast-travel","title":"Fast-travel","text":"Just use some boring extensions like:

Default logger can be created by passing defaultTag and one of variants log level filters: set or minimal loggable level. In JVM you also may setup any logger as base logger for default realizations of KSLog. Besides, you may use your own callback (on any target platform) as output of logging:
val logger = KSLog { logLevel, optionalTag, message, optionalThrowable ->\nprintln(\"[$logLevel] $optionalTag - $message: $optionalThrowable.stackTraceToString()\")\n}\nIn the example above we will take the logger which will just print incoming data as common output.

On this page all the messages will be just simple String, but you may pass any object as the message
As has been said in the setup section, this library contains next levels of logging with their default representations on each platform:
Weight (by order) LogLevel name JS JVM Loggers Android 0 DEBUG console.log Level.FINEST Log.d 1 VERBOSE console.info Level.FINE Log.v 2 INFO console.info Level.INFO Log.i 3 WARNING console.warn Level.WARNING Log.w 4 ERROR console.error Level.SEVERE Log.e 5 ASSERT console.error Level.SEVERE Log.wtfEach of these levels have fullname and shortname shortcat extensions:
KSLog.debug/KSLog.d/KSLog.dSKSLog.verbose/KSLog.v/KSLog.vSKSLog.info/KSLog.i/KSLog.iSKSLog.warning/KSLog.w/KSLog.wSKSLog.error/KSLog.e/KSLog.eSKSLog.assert/KSLog.wtf/KSLog.wtfSAnd any of these shortcuts may accept one of several arguments combinations:
S suffix for suspendable messages creating, for exampleSo, when you want to log some expected exception, there are three common ways to do it:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.info(tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.infoS(tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.info(\"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.info(tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nOf course, any of this calls can be shortenned:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.i(tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.iS(tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.i(\"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.i(tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nThere is special shortcat - for base performLog. In that case the only change is that you will require to pass the LogLevel more obviously:
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.logS(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.log(LogLevel.INFO, tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nOR
val logger = KSLog.default\n// with callback\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n// with suspendable callback\nlogger.lS(LogLevel.INFO, tag, throwable) {\nwithContext(Dispatchers.Default) {\n\"Some your message for this event\"\n}\n}\n// Just with message\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\n// With message and tag as strings\nlogger.l(LogLevel.INFO, tag, \"Some your message for this event\", throwable)\nimplementation \"dev.inmo:kslog:$kslog_version\"\nimplementation(\"dev.inmo:kslog:$kslog_version\")\n<dependency>\n<groupId>dev.inmo</groupId>\n<artifactId>kslog</artifactId>\n<version>${kslog_version}</version>\n</dependency>\nThe main point in setup in your code is to setup default logger:
KSLog.default = KSLog(\"defaultTag\")\nYou may use custom messageFormatter in any of KSLog factory to customize output of KSLog logging. For example:
KSLog(\n\"loggingWithCustomFormat\",\nmessageFormatter = { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nprintln(\"[$level] $tag - $message: $throwable\")\n}\n)\nAdditionally you may use one of several different settings:
minLoggingLevel - minimal logging level for the log which will be logged. The order of log level is next:levels - and iterable with the levels which should be loggedfirstLevel,secondLevel,otherLevels - as levels, but vararg :)In case you are passing minLoggingLevel, the level and more important levels will be passed to logs. For example, when you are settings up your logger as in next snippet:
val logger = KSLog(\n\"exampleTag\",\nminLoggingLevel = LogLevel.INFO\n)\nThe next levels will be logged with logger:
INFOWARNINGERRORASSERTIt is logger which will call incoming performLogCallback on each logging. This logger can be create simply with one callback:
KSLog { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nprintln(\"[$level] $tag - $message: $throwable\")\n}\nIt is simple value class which can be used for zero-cost usage of some tag and calling for KSLog.default. For example, if you will create tag logger with next code:
val logger = TagLogger(\"tagLoggerTag\")\nThe logger will call KSLog.default with the tag tagLoggerTag on each calling of logging.
This pretty simple logger will call its fallbackLogger only in cases when incoming messageFilter will return true for logging:
val baseLogger = KSLog(\"base\") // log everything with the tag `base` if not set other\nval filtered = baseLogger.filtered { _, t, _ ->\nt == \"base\"\n}\nIn the example above baseLogger will perform logs in two ways: when it has been called directly or when we call log performing with the tag \"base\" or null. Besides, you can see there extension filtered which allow to create FilterKSLog logger with simple lambda.
This logger accepts map of types with the target loggers. You may build this logger with the special simple DSL:
val baseLogger = KSLog(\"base\") // log everything with the tag `base` if not set other\nval typed = buildTypedLogger {\non<Int>(baseLogger) // log all ints to the baseLogger\non<Float> { _, _, message, _ ->// log all floats to the passed logger\nprintln(message.toString()) // just print all floats\n}\ndefault { level, tag, message, throwable ->\nKSLog.performLog(level, tag, message, throwable)\n}\n}\nThere are two things which can be useful in your code: logger and logTag extensions. logTag is the autocalculated by your object classname tag. logger extension can be used with applying to any object like in the next snippet:
class SomeClass {\ninit {\nlogger.i(\"inited\")\n}\n}\nThe code above will trigger calling of logging in KSLog.default with level LogLevel.INFO using tag SomeClass and message \"inited\". As you could have guessed, logger is using TagLogger with logTag underhood and the most expensive operation here is automatical calculation of logTag.
loggerFor JVM you may setup additionally use java loggers as the second parameter of KSLog factory. For example:
KSLog(\n\"yourTag\"\nLogger.getLogger(\"YourJavaLoggerName\")\n)\nMicroUtils is a set of libraries to help me (and, I hope, you too) in some routine doings of coding.

In this library there are several ways to use this API:
In the Bot API there is no independent sendLiveLocation method, instead it is suggested to use sendLocation with setting up live_period. In this library in difference with original Bot API live location is special request. It was required because of in fact live locations and static locations are different types of location info and you as bot developer may interact with them differently.
Anyway, in common case the logic looks like:
In difference with sendLiveLocation, startLiveLocation using LiveLocationProvider. With this provider you need not to handle chat and message ids and keep some other data for location changes. Instead, you workflow with provider will be next:
Besides, LiveLocationProvider contains different useful parameters about live location
This way of live locations handling is based on coroutines Flow and allow you to pass some external Flow with EditLiveLocationInfo. So, workflow:
flow {\nvar i = 0\nwhile (isActive) {\nval newInfo = EditLiveLocationInfo(\nlatitude = i.toDouble(),\nlongitude = i.toDouble(),\nreplyMarkup = flatInlineKeyboard {\ndataButton(\"Cancel\", \"cancel\")\n}\n)\nemit(newInfo)\ni++\ndelay(10000L) // 10 seconds\n}\n}\nval currentMessageState = MutableStateFlow<ContentMessage<LocationContent>?>(null)\nhandleLiveLocation(\nit.chat.id,\nlocationsFlow,\nsentMessageFlow = FlowCollector { currentMessageState.emit(it) }\n)\n// this code will be called after `locationsFlow` will ends\nscope.launch {\nhandleLiveLocation(\nit.chat.id,\nlocationsFlow,\nsentMessageFlow = FlowCollector { currentMessageState.emit(it) }\n)\n}\n// this code will be called right after launch will be completed\nSee our example to get more detailed sample

Resize option
In the screenshots above (and in the most others) you may see usage of reply keyboards without resize_keyboard. In case you will use resize_keyboard = true the keyboard will be smaller.
Note the differences in the way these keyboards are shown to a user.
A reply keyboard is shown under the message input field. It replaces the device\u2019s native input method on a mobile device.
An inline keyboard is shown as a part of the message in the chat.
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#simple-keyboard-interactions","title":"Simple Keyboard Interactions","text":"When a user clicks on a simple reply keyboard button, its text is just sent in the chat.
When a user clicks on a simple inline keyboard button, nothing is sent to the chat. Instead, a callback query (a fancy way to say \u201ca request\u201d) is sent directly to the bot and the button is highlighted. It will stay highlighted until the bot acks the callback.
It\u2019s a common mistake to forget to handle callback queries
It leads to the buttons being highlighted for long periods of time, which leads to a bad user experience. Don\u2019t forget to handle these callbacks!
As new messages arrive, a reply keyboard will stay there, while the inline keyboard will stick to the message and move with it.
Ups\u2026 The reply keyboard is now far away from the message it was sent with.
Actually, they are two different unrelated entities now: the original message and the reply keyboard. A reply keyboard persists until you explicitly remove it or replace it with a different one.
It\u2019s a common mistake to forget to remove or replace reply keyboards
It leads to the keyboards being shown forever. Don\u2019t forget to remove reply keyboards when you don\u2019t need them anymore!
You also may use option one_time_keyboard and the keyboard will be automatically removed after user interaction
An inline keyboard could also be removed or changed by editing the original message it was attached to.
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#extended-keyboard-interactions","title":"Extended Keyboard Interactions","text":"Keyboards are not limited to text only. They could be used to ask users for different things, like payments, locations, phone numbers, etc. They could be used to open arbitrary URLs or web apps. Telegram clients process these buttons and interact with the users in the appropriate ways.
For the full list of options, see the official documentation on reply and inline keyboards.
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#basic-api-classes","title":"Basic API & Classes","text":"Now, that you know the basics, let\u2019s see how to use the library.
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#keyboards","title":"Keyboards","text":"In Telegram Bot API keyboards are sent to the user as a part of an interaction via the reply_markup parameter. More specifically, this parameter is available:
sendXXX methods, like sendMessage, sendPhoto, sendSticker, etc.copyMessage methodeditMessageXXX methods, like editMessageText, editMessageCaption, editMessageReplyMarkup, etc. This also includes stopXXX methods like the stopMessageLiveLocation method.Tip
editMessageReplyMarkup is specifically designed to edit a message\u2019s inline keyboard.
Sending inline keyboards is also supported in inline mode through the reply_markup parameter of the InlineQueryResult type and its inheritors. However, this inline mode is unrelated to the inline keyboards.
The reply_markup parameter accepts four different types. Two of them \u2014 ReplyKeyboardMarkup and InlineKeyboardMarkup \u2014 correspond to the reply and inline keyboards respectively. The ReplyKeyboardRemove type is used to remove reply keyboards, but it\u2019s not a keyboard itself. The last one, ForceReply, is used to force users to reply to the bot. It is not a keyboard either, but yet another dirty hack employed by the Telegram Bot API.
Now, in the library, the WithReplyMarkup is a marker interface for all the interactions which could have a replyMarkup (represents reply_markup) parameter. It is extended by the ReplyingMarkupSendMessageRequest, and then, finally, by classes like SendTextMessage. This, basically, corresponds to the Telegram Bot API.
Note
You may see all the inheritors of WithReplyMarkup interfaces in the corresponding KDoc
The other way to send a keyboard is through the replyMarkup parameter of the numerous extension methods, like sendMessage. Those are just convenient wrappers around general interaction classes, like the aforementioned SendTextMessage.
As we already know, keyboards consist of buttons. Button classes reside in the dev.inmo.tgbotapi.types.buttons package.
The base class for the reply keyboard buttons is the KeyboardButton. The base class for the inline keyboard buttons is the InlineKeyboardButton.
See their inheritors for the full list of the available buttons. The names are pretty self-explanatory and correspond to the Telegram Bot API.
For example, to send a simple reply keyboard button, use the SimpleKeyboardButton class. To request a contact from the user through the reply, use the RequestContactKeyboardButton class. To attach a URL button to the message, use the URLInlineKeyboardButton. And to attach a callback button, use the CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton.
You get the idea.
So, to send a reply keyboard use the following code:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"What is the best Kotlin Telegram Bot API library?\",\nreplyMarkup = ReplyKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = listOf(\nlistOf(\nSimpleKeyboardButton(\"ktgbotapi\"),\n),\n)\n)\n)\nAnd here is how you send a basic inline keyboard:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"ktgbotapi is the best Kotlin Telegram Bot API library\",\nreplyMarkup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = listOf(\nlistOf(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"I know\", \"know\"),\nURLInlineKeyboardButton(\"Learn more\", \"https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/ktgbotapi\")\n),\n)\n),\n)\nWhen we\u2019re done with this simple quiz, we can remove the keyboard with the following code:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"You're goddamn right!\",\nreplyMarkup = ReplyKeyboardRemove()\n)\nNote
Don\u2019t forget to remove the reply keyboards!
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#matrices","title":"Matrices","text":"Buttons in keyboards are arranged in matrices, i.e. two-dimensional arrays, or, to say in layperson\u2019s terms, rows and columns. In contrast to the matrices you\u2019ve learned in school, keyboards are not always necessarily square. Try it:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"In contrast to the matrices you've learned in school, keyboards are not always necessary square.\",\nreplyMarkup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = listOf(\nlistOf(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"1\", \"1\"),\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"2\", \"2\"),\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"3\", \"3\"),\n),\nlistOf(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"4\", \"4\"),\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"5\", \"5\"),\n),\nlistOf(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"6\", \"6\"),\n)\n)\n)\n)\nThis way of building matrices is not very convenient, so the library provides a few eloquent DSLs to simplify that.
First, there are matrix and row, so the keyboard above can be built like this:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"DSLs are sweet!\",\nreplyMarkup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = matrix {\nrow {\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"1\", \"1\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"2\", \"2\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"3\", \"3\")\n}\nrow(\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"4\", \"4\"),\nCallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"5\", \"5\"),\n)\nrow {\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"6\", \"6\")\n}\n},\n)\n)\nNote
Those plus signs are mandatory.
Note
There are two different row functions here. Can you spot the difference?
A single-row matrix can be built with a flatMatrix:
flatMatrix {\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"1\", \"1\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"2\", \"2\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"3\", \"3\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"4\", \"4\")\n+CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton(\"5\", \"5\")\n}\nBut the most convenient way to build a simple keyboard is to use the constructor-like methods: InlineKeyboardMarkup and ReplyKeyboardMarkup. Note, that they are named just like the corresponding constructor, but take a vararg of buttons. They create flat matrices, i.e. single rows.
Finally, there are inlineKeyboard and replyKeyboard
DSL methods above rely on Kotlin\u2019s feature of receivers and extensions. So, the magic is done by MatrixBuilder and RowBuilder. That\u2019s why you must use the plus sign to add buttons to the matrix: it\u2019s just an overloaded operator call, another cool Kotlin feature widely used to create sweet DSLs.
Another bonus of using these DSLs is button builders, like payButton, dataButton, and urlButton:
bot.sendMessage(\nchatId = chat,\ntext = \"All in one!\",\nreplyMarkup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(\nkeyboard = matrix {\nrow {\npayButton(\"Send money\")\ndataButton(\"Ok\", \"ok\")\nurlButton(\"Google\", \"https://google.com\")\n}\n},\n)\n)\nReply keyboard builders provide similar extensions, e.g. requestLocationButton.
So, choose the style you like \u2014 from plain Kotlin lists to sweet DSLs \u2014 and use it!
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#working-with-keyboards","title":"Working with keyboards","text":"Working with keyboards is not something special in Telegram Bot API. As you have already seen, keyboards are just message parameters. Similarly, keyboard interactions are represented by regular Updates. I.e. when a user interacts with a keyboard, the bot receives an update.
On the other hand, the library is heavily typed, so the actual type of update you would receive varies.

Read more about buildBehaviourWithLongPolling here
I hope you get the idea: the bot acts like a cop and asks the user to rat out his friends via a reply keyboard (it\u2019s an imaginary situation, of course). The user may refuse to cooperate, rat out a single friend or the whole imaginary group. The bot receives the user\u2019s choices as regular updates, the code above has explicit types (generally optional in Kotlin) and an assert to demonstrate this.
And here is how it works (the user selects the options in the order):
Note how you handle reply keyboards: you process regular messages. For instance, a simple text button sends a regular text message indistinguishable from a case when a user simply types the same text manually.
And don\u2019t be a rat in real life: remove the keyboards with the ReplyKeyboardRemove after you\u2019ve received the input! Otherwise, a keyboard will stay there indefinitely.
Finally, to master the keyboards, you need to know how to handle the inline ones.
Again, let\u2019s explore the example. Imagine you\u2019re making a quiz where users are given a question and a set of answers. Additionally, users are given a link to the wiki page to help with the question and a Google button.
The quiz could be implemented this way:
// A simple data class to represent a question\nval question = Question(\nimage = \"https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a5/Tsunami_by_hokusai_19th_century.jpg\",\nquestion = \"Who painted this?\",\nanswers = listOf(\nAnswer(\"Hokusai\", correct = true),\nAnswer(\"Sukenobu\"),\nAnswer(\"Ch\u014dshun\"),\nAnswer(\"Kiyonobu I\"),\n),\nwiki = \"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukiyo-e\",\n)\nbot.buildBehaviourWithLongPolling {\nbot.sendPhoto(\nchatId = chat,\nfileId = InputFile.fromUrl(question.image),\ntext = question.question,\nreplyMarkup = inlineKeyboard {\n// First row: answers\nrow {\nfor (answer in question.answers.shuffled()) {\ndataButton(\ntext = answer.answer,\ndata = \"${answer.answer}:${answer.correct}\",\n)\n}\n}\n// Second row: help buttons\nrow {\nurlButton(\"Wiki \ud83d\udc81\", question.wiki)\nwebAppButton(\"Google \ud83d\udd0d\", \"https://google.com\")\n}\n}\n)\nonDataCallbackQuery { callback: DataCallbackQuery ->\nval (answer, correct) = callback.data.split(\":\")\nif (correct.toBoolean()) {\nbot.answerCallbackQuery(\ncallback,\ntext = \"$answer is a \u2705 correct answer!\",\nshowAlert = true\n)\n} else {\nbot.answerCallbackQuery(\ncallback,\ntext = \"\u274c Try again, $answer is not a correct answer\u2026\",\nshowAlert = true\n)\n}\n}\n}.join()\nA few important things to note here.
First, the data buttons (they have the CallbackDataInlineKeyboardButton type, but in the code we used a neat DSL) must have unique data. If the data is not unique, Telegram clients will highlight all the buttons with the same data when a user clicks on one of them. Guess how I know that? Well, it\u2019s not in the docs, so trial and error is the only way to learn it (and many other things about the Telegram Bot API).
Second, the way you handle inline keyboards is different from the way you handle reply keyboards. Bot API will send updates with a callback_query field populated. This field, of a CallbackQuery type, represents incoming callbacks from callback buttons in inline keyboards. The library turns them into multiple callback types, like the DataCallbackQuery we used in the example. Finally, to handle these callbacks you could use onDataCallbackQuery. Alternatively, if you\u2019re not using any DSLs, you have to handle the CallbackQueryUpdate update type.
Third, the buttons got highlighted when a user clicks on them. When you\u2019re done with the callback, you need to answer it, by using the answerCallbackQuery function. Otherwise, the button will remain highlighted. Telegram clients will eventually remove the highlight, but it\u2019s still frustrating.
Finally, you could choose between two styles of acknowledgment: a simple toast-like message or a modal alert. The showAlert flag controls this behavior.
And here is the demo of the quiz:
"},{"location":"tgbotapi/guides/keyboards.html#conclusion","title":"Conclusion","text":"Today we\u2019ve learned how to use keyboards in Telegram bots. There are two types of keyboards: reply and inline. Reply keyboards replace the device\u2019s keyboard and make clients send a message with the predefined content. Inline keyboards are buttons attached to messages. Clicking on them causes the client to send a callback to the bot. In both scenarios the bot receives an update of a corresponding type and has to acknowledge the keayboard interaction for the client to work properly.

Also, there is an aggregator-version tgbotapi, which will automatically include all projects above. It is most recommended version due to the fact that it is including all necessary tools around TelegramBotAPI Core, but it is optionally due to the possible restrictions on the result methods count (for android) or bundle size

First of all, you will need to use one more library:
build.gradle:
implementation \"io.ktor:ktor-client-okhttp:2.0.1\"\nDependency note
In the snippet above was used version 2.0.1 which is actual for TelegramBotAPI at the moment of filling this documentation (May 22 2022, TelegramBotAPI version 2.0.0) and you can update version of this dependency in case if it is outdated.
For configuring proxy for your bot inside your program, you can use next snippet:
val botToken = \"HERE MUST BE YOUR TOKEN\"\nval bot = telegramBot(botToken) {\nktorClientEngineFactory = OkHttp\nproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(\"127.0.0.1\", 1080)\n}\nExplanation line by line:
val botToken = \"HERE MUST BE YOUR TOKEN\" - here we are just creating variable botTokenval bot = telegramBot(botToken) { - start creating botktorClientEngineFactory = OkHttp - setting up engine factory of our bot. On the time of documentation filling, OkHttp is one of the engines in Ktor system which supports socks proxy. More you can read on Ktor site in subparts about engines and proxyproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(\"127.0.0.1\", 1080) - here we are setting up our proxy. Here was used local server which (as assumed) will connect to server like shadowsocksYou may try to use custom engine for ktor. For example:
// JVM\n// OkHttp engine\n// Socks5 proxy\nval bot = telegramBot(botToken) {\nval proxyPort = 1080 //your proxy port\nval proxyHost = \"your proxy host\"\nval username = \"proxy username\"\nval password = \"proxy password\"\nval proxyAddr = InetSocketAddress(proxyHost, proxyPort)\nval proxy = Proxy(Proxy.Type.SOCKS, proxyAddr)\nAuthenticator.setDefault(object : Authenticator() {\nprotected val passwordAuthentication: PasswordAuthentication?\nprotected get() {\nif (requestingHost.lowercase() == proxyHost.lowercase()) {\nif (proxyPort == requestingPort) {\nreturn PasswordAuthentication(username, password.toCharArray())\n}\n}\nreturn null\n}\n})\nthis.client = HttpClient(OkHttp) {\nengine {\nconfig {\nproxy(proxy)\n}\n}\n}\n}\nAPI extensions is a module which you may include in your project in addition to core part. In most cases this module will allow just use syntax like bot.getUpdates() instead of bot.execute(GetUpdates()), but there are several other things you will achieve with that syntax.
This functionality allow you to build bot in more unified and comfortable way than standard creating with telegramBot function
buildBot(\n\"TOKEN\"\n) {\nproxy = ProxyBuilder.socks(host = \"127.0.0.1\", port = 4001) // just an example, more info on https://ktor.io/docs/proxy.html\nktorClientConfig = {\n// configuring of ktor client\n}\nktorClientEngineFactory = {\n// configuring of ktor client engine \n}\n}\nIn standard library requests there are no way to download some file retrieved in updates or after requests. You may use syntax like bot.downloadFile(file) where file is TelegramMediaFile from telegram, FileId or even PathedFile from GetFile request (sources).
By default, you should handle updates of Live location by your code. But with extension bot#startLiveLocation you may provide all necessary startup parameters and handle updates with just calling updateLocation for retrieved LiveLocationProvider.

Behaviour builder with FSM is based on the MicroUtils FSM. There are several important things in FSM:
State - any object which implements State interfaceStateHandler (or CheckableHandlerHolder) - the handler of statesStatesMachine have two methods:
start which will start work of machinestartChain which will add new state for handlingThe most based way to create StatesMachine and register StateHandlers looks like in the next snippet:
buildFSM<TrafficLightState> {\nstrictlyOn<SomeState> {\n// state handling\n}\n}.start(CoroutineScope(...)).join()\nFull example
You may find full example of FSM usage in the tests of FSM in MicroUtils
So, you must do next steps before you will launch your bot with FSM:
There are several extensions for TelegramBot to create your bot with FSM:
All of them will take as an callback some object with type CustomBehaviourContextReceiver and will looks like in the next snippet:
telegramBotWithBehaviourAndFSMAndStartLongPolling<YourStateType>(\"BOT_TOKEN\") {\n// here you may use any operations from BehaviourBuilder\n// here you may use any operations from BehaviourContextWithFSMBuilder like strictlyOn and others\n}\nIn the previous pages about updates handling and was mentioned that currently in the most cases you should use Flows. So, there is an improvement for that system which hide direct work with flows and allow you to create more declarative logic of your bot.

on* extensions for BehaviourContext which allow you to create reaction on some updatewait* extensions which you may use in buildBehaviour function, but it is recommended to use it in bodies of triggersAs was said above, there is buildBehaviour function which allow you set up your bot logic. Let\u2019s see an example:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour {\nonCommand(\"start\") { // creating of trigger\nval message = it\nval content = message.content\nreply(message, \"Ok, send me one photo\") // send text message with replying on incoming message\nval photoContent = waitPhoto().first() // waitPhoto will return List, so, get first element\nval photo = downloadFile(photoContent) // ByteArray of photo\n// some logic with saving of photos\n}\n}\nIn most cases there are opportunity to filter some of messages before starting of main logic. Let\u2019s look at this using the example above:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour {\nonCommand(\n\"start\",\ninitialFilter = {\nit.content.textSources.size == 1 // make sure that user has sent /start without any additions\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\n}\nOR

safely(\n{\n// handle error\nit.printStackTrace()\nnull // return value\n}\n) {\n// do something\n}\nThere are two types of handling:
safely(\n{\nit.printStackTrace()\n\"error\"\n}\n) {\nerror(\"Hi :)\") // emulate exception throwing\n\"ok\"\n} // result will be with type String\nsafely, but this type by default allow to return nullable value (when exception was thrown) instead of just throwing (as with safely): safelyWithouExceptions {\n// do something\n} // will returns nullable result type\nThe most simple way to configure exceptions handling is to change CoroutineContext when you are creating your CoroutineScope for bot processing:
val bot = telegramBot(\"TOKEN\")\nbot.buildBehaviour (\nscope = scope,\ndefaultExceptionsHandler = {\nit.printStackTrace()\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\nOR
val bot = telegramBotWithBehaviour (\n\"TOKEN\",\nscope = scope,\ndefaultExceptionsHandler = {\nit.printStackTrace()\n}\n) {\n// ...\n}\nHere we have used ContextSafelyExceptionHandler class. It will pass default handling of exceptions and will call the block in most cases when something inside of your bot logic has thrown exception.
According to the documentation there are several ways to work with files:
typealias for the FileId)There are several cases you may need in your app to work with files:
FileId (for sending in future)The most simple way to send some file is to get file id and send it. You may get file id from any message with media. For example, if you have received some Message, you may use asCommonMessage conversation to be able to get its content and then convert it to some content with media. Full code here:
val message: Message;\nval fileId = message.asCommonMessage() ?.withContent<MediaContent>() ?.content ?.media ?.fileId;\nWAT? O.o
In the code above we get some message, safely converted it to CommonMessage with asCommonMessage, then safely took its content via withContent<MediaContent>() ?.content and then just get its media file id.

Result of these calls is defined in type of any request (for example, for GetMe request the result type is ExtendedBot). As a result, you can avoid any extension api (like special API extensions) and use low level request with full controlling of the whole logic flow.
As was written above, it will require some request:
val updates = bot.execute(GetUpdates())\nResult type of GetUpdates request is Update. You may find inheritors of this interface in Update kdocs.

Besides, it will be very useful to know more about updates retrieving.
As you know, Telegram have the feature named Media Groups. Media groups have several differences with the common messages:
Row updates
In tgbotapi there is no any additional handling of media groups by default and in case you will use simple bot.getUpdates, you will get the list of row updates and media groups will be included in this list as separated messages with MediaGroupPartContent. In that case you may use convertWithMediaGroupUpdates to be able to work with media groups as will be described below
In case you are using standard long polling (one of alternatives is telegramBotWithBehaviourAndLongPolling) or webhooks updates will be converted uner the hood and as a result, you will take media groups as a content in one message:
telegramBotWithBehaviourAndLongPolling(\n\"token\"\n) {\nonVisualGallery { // it: CommonMessage<MediaGroupContent<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>>\nit.content // MediaGroupContent<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>\nit.content.group // List<MediaGroupCollectionContent.PartWrapper<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>>\nit.content.group.forEach { // it: MediaGroupCollectionContent.PartWrapper<VisualMediaGroupPartContent>\nit.messageId // source message id for current media group part\nit.sourceMessage // source message for current media group part\nit.content // VisualMediaGroupPartContent\nprintln(it.content) // will print current content part info\n}\n}\n}\nKDocs:

require works like as, but instead of returning nullable type, it will always return object with required type OR throw ClassCastException:

flowsUpdatesFilter {\nmediaGroupMessages(scope).onEach {\nprintln(it) // will be printed each media group messages list from both channels and chats without filtering of content\n}.launchIn(scope)\nmediaGroupPhotosMessages(scope).onEach {\nprintln(it) // will be printed each media group messages list from both channels and chats with PhotoContent only\n}.launchIn(scope)\nmediaGroupVideosMessages(scope).onEach {\nprintln(it) // will be printed each media group messages list from both channels and chats with VideoContent only\n}.launchIn(scope)\n}\nBesides, there is an opportunity to avoid separation on media groups and common messages and receive photos and videos content in one flow:
flowsUpdatesFilter {\nsentMessagesWithMediaGroups(scope).onEach {\nprintln(it) // will be printed each message including each separated media group message from both channels and chats without filtering of content\n}.launchIn(scope)\nphotoMessagesWithMediaGroups(scope).onEach {\nprintln(it) // will be printed each message including each separated media group message from both channels and chats with PhotoContent only\n}.launchIn(scope)\nvideoMessagesWithMediaGroups(scope).onEach {\nprintln(it) // will be printed each message including each separated media group message from both channels and chats with VideoContent only\n}.launchIn(scope)\n}\nIn telegram bot API there is an opportunity to get updates via webhooks. In this case you will be able to retrieve updates without making additional requests. Most of currently available methods for webhooks are working on ktor server for JVM. Currently, next ways are available for using for webhooks:
Route#includeWebhookHandlingInRoute for ktor serverRoute#includeWebhookHandlingInRouteWithFlows startListenWebhooksRequestsExecutor#setWebhookInfoAndStartListenWebhookssetWebhookInfoAndStartListenWebhooks","text":"It is the most common way to set updates webhooks and start listening of them. Example:
val bot = telegramBot(TOKEN)\nval filter = flowsUpdatesFilter {\n// ...\n}\nbot.setWebhookInfoAndStartListenWebhooks(\n8080, // listening port. It is required for cases when your server hidden by some proxy or other system like Heroku\nCIO, // default ktor server engine. It is recommended to replace it with something like `Netty`. More info about engines here: https://ktor.io/servers/configuration.html\nSetWebhook(\n\"address.com/webhook_route\",\nFile(\"/path/to/certificate\").toInputFile(), // certificate file. More info here: https://core.telegram.org/bots/webhooks#a-certificate-where-do-i-get-one-and-how\n40, // max allowed updates, by default is null\nfilter.allowedUpdates\n),\n{\nit.printStackTrace() // optional handling of exceptions\n},\n\"0.0.0.0\", // listening host which will be used to bind by server\n\"subroute\", // Optional subroute, if null - will listen root of address\nWebhookPrivateKeyConfig( // optional config of private key. It will be installed in server to use TLS with custom certificate. More info here: https://core.telegram.org/bots/webhooks#a-certificate-where-do-i-get-one-and-how\n\"/path/to/keystore.jks\",\n\"KeystorePassword\",\n\"Keystore key alias name\",\n\"KeystoreAliasPassword\"\n),\nscope, // Kotlin coroutine scope for internal transforming of media groups\nfilter.asUpdateReceiver\n)\nIf you will use previous example, ktor server will bind and listen url 0.0.0.0:8080/subroute and telegram will send requests to address address.com/webhook_route with custom certificate. Alternative variant will use the other SetWebhook request variant:
SetWebhook(\n\"address.com/webhook_route\",\n\"some_file_bot_id\".toInputFile(),\n40, // max allowed updates, by default is null\nfilter.allowedUpdates\n)\nAs a result, request SetWebhook will be executed and after this server will start its working and handling of updates.
startListenWebhooks","text":"This function is working almost exactly like previous example, but this one will not set up webhook info in telegram:
val filter = flowsUpdatesFilter {\n// ...\n}\nstartListenWebhooks(\n8080, // listening port. It is required for cases when your server hidden by some proxy or other system like Heroku\nCIO, // default ktor server engine. It is recommended to replace it with something like `Netty`. More info about engines here: https://ktor.io/servers/configuration.html\n{\nit.printStackTrace() // optional handling of exceptions\n},\n\"0.0.0.0\", // listening host which will be used to bind by server\n\"subroute\", // Optional subroute, if null - will listen root of address\nWebhookPrivateKeyConfig( // optional config of private key. It will be installed in server to use TLS with custom certificate. More info here: https://core.telegram.org/bots/webhooks#a-certificate-where-do-i-get-one-and-how\n\"/path/to/keystore.jks\",\n\"KeystorePassword\",\n\"Keystore key alias name\",\n\"KeystoreAliasPassword\"\n),\nscope, // Kotlin coroutine scope for internal transforming of media groups\nfilter.asUpdateReceiver\n)\nThe result will be the same as in previous example: server will start its working and handling of updates on 0.0.0.0:8080/subroute. The difference here is that in case if this bot must not answer or send some requiests - it will not be necessary to create bot for receiving of updates.
includeWebhookHandlingInRoute and includeWebhookHandlingInRouteWithFlows","text":"For these extensions you will need to start your server manualy. In common case it will look like:
val scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default)\nval filter = flowsUpdatesFilter {\n// ...\n}\nval environment = applicationEngineEnvironment {\nmodule {\nrouting {\nincludeWebhookHandlingInRoute(\nscope,\n{\nit.printStackTrace()\n},\nfilter.asUpdateReceiver\n)\n}\n}\nconnector {\nhost = \"0.0.0.0\"\nport = 8080\n}\n}\nembeddedServer(CIO, environment).start(true) // will start server and wait its stoping\nIn the example above server will started and binded for listening on 0.0.0.0:8080.
