# TelegramBotAPI extensions [![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/insanusmokrassar/StandardRepository/TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api/images/download.svg) ](https://bintray.com/insanusmokrassar/StandardRepository/TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api/_latestVersion) [![Maven Central](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/com.github.insanusmokrassar/TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api/badge.svg)](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/com.github.insanusmokrassar/TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api) ## What is it? It is wrapper library for [TelegramBotAPI](../TelegramBotAPI/README.md). Here you can find extensions for `RequestsExecutor`, which are more look like Telegram Bot API requests and in the same time have more obvious signatures to help understand some restrictions in Telegram system. ## Compatibility This library always compatible with original `TelegramBotAPI` library version ## How to implement library? Common ways to implement this library are presented here. In some cases it will require additional steps like inserting of additional libraries (like `kotlin stdlib`). In the examples will be used variable `telegrambotapi-extensions-api.version`, which must be set up by developer. Available versions are presented on [bintray](https://bintray.com/insanusmokrassar/StandardRepository/TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api), next version is last published: [![Download](https://api.bintray.com/packages/insanusmokrassar/StandardRepository/TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api/images/download.svg) ](https://bintray.com/insanusmokrassar/StandardRepository/TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api/_latestVersion) ### Maven Dependency config presented here: ```xml com.github.insanusmokrassar TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api ${telegrambotapi-extensions-api.version} ``` ### Gradle To use last versions you will need to add one line in repositories block of your `build.gradle`: `jcenter()` or `mavenCentral()` And add next line to your dependencies block: ```groovy implementation "com.github.insanusmokrassar:TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api:$telegrambotapi_extensions_api_version" ``` or for old gradle: ```groovy compile "com.github.insanusmokrassar:TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api:$telegrambotapi_extensions_api_version" ``` ## Example of usage and comparison with `TelegramBotAPI` Here presented review table for comparison of api from original [TelegramBotAPI](../TelegramBotAPI/README.md#Requests) and extensions-api library. First of all, this library allow to create bot instance in a new way: ```kotlin val bot = telegramBot("IT IS YOUR TOKEN") ``` There are a lot of signature for this. For example, you can create bot with next code: ```kotlin val bot = telegramBot("IT IS YOUR TOKEN") { proxy = ProxyBuilder.socks("127.0.0.1", 1080) } ``` In all examples supposed that you have created bot. | TelegramBotAPI | TelegramBotAPI-extensions-api | |----------------|-------------------------------| | bot.execute(GetMe) | bot.getMe() | | bot.execute(SendTextMessage(someChatId, text)) | bot.sendTextMessage(chat, text) | ## Updates **Currently, these paragraphs almost outdated due to the fact that extensions for listening of updates and webhooks were replaced into `TelegramBotAPI-extensions-utils`. But, most part of information below is correct with small fixes and adding of `TelegramBotAPI-extensions-utils` dependency.** Usually, it is more comfortable to use filter object to get separated types of updates: ```kotlin val filter = FlowsUpdatesFilter(100) ``` In this case you will be able: * Separate types of incoming updates (even media groups) * Simplify launch of getting updates: ```kotlin bot.startGettingOfUpdates( filter, scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default) ) ``` * Use `filter` flows to comfortable filter, map and do other operations with the whole getting updates process: ```kotlin filter.messageFlow.mapNotNull { it.data as? ContentMessage<*> }.onEach { println(it) }.launchIn( CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default) ) ``` ### Alternative way There is an alternative way to get updates. In fact it is almost the same, but could be more useful for some cases: ```kotlin val filter = bot.startGettingOfUpdates( scope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default) ) { // Here as reveiver will be FlowsUpdatesFilter messageFlow.mapNotNull { it.data as? ContentMessage<*> }.onEach { println(it) }.launchIn( CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Default) ) } ```
