Hello! This is a set of libraries for working with Telegram Bot API. ## Examples There are several things you need to do to launch examples below: * Add `mavenCentral()` to your project repositories * [Maven variant](https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/TelegramBotAPI/wiki/Including-in-your-project#pomxml) * Add dependency `implementation "dev.inmo:tgbotapi:$tgbotapi_version"` * Replace `tgbotapi_version` with exact version (see last one in the table above) or put variable with this name in project * Alternative variant for maven [here](https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/TelegramBotAPI/wiki/Including-in-your-project#telegrambotapi) More including instructions [available here](https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/TelegramBotAPI/wiki/Including-in-your-project). Other configuration examples: * [For multiplatform](https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/TelegramBotAPI-examples/tree/master/ResenderBot) * [For JVM](https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/TelegramBotAPI-examples/blob/master/GetMeBot/build.gradle) ### Most common example ```kotlin suspend fun main() { val bot = telegramBot(TOKEN) bot.buildBehaviourWithLongPolling { println(getMe()) onCommand("start") { reply(it, "Hi:)") } }.join() } ``` In this example you will see information about this bot at the moment of starting and answer with `Hi:)` every time it gets message `/start` ### Handling only last messages ```kotlin suspend fun main() { val bot = telegramBot(TOKEN) val flowsUpdatesFilter = FlowsUpdatesFilter() bot.buildBehaviour(flowUpdatesFilter = flowsUpdatesFilter) { println(getMe()) onCommand("start") { reply(it, "Hi:)") } retrieveAccumulatedUpdates(this).join() } } ``` The main difference with the previous example is that bot will get only last updates (accumulated before bot launch and maybe some updates it got after launch) ### Build a little bit more complex behaviour ```kotlin suspend fun main() { val bot = telegramBot(TOKEN) bot.buildBehaviourWithLongPolling { println(getMe()) val nameReplyMarkup = ReplyKeyboardMarkup( matrix { row { +SimpleKeyboardButton("nope") } } ) onCommand("start") { val photo = waitPhoto( SendTextMessage(it.chat.id, "Send me your photo please") ).first() val name = waitText( SendTextMessage( it.chat.id, "Send me your name or choose \"nope\"", replyMarkup = nameReplyMarkup ) ).first().text.takeIf { it != "nope" } sendPhoto( it.chat, photo.mediaCollection, entities = buildEntities { if (name != null) regular(name) // may be collapsed up to name ?.let(::regular) } ) } }.join() } ``` ### More examples You may find examples in [this project](https://github.com/InsanusMokrassar/TelegramBotAPI-examples).
