NAME

Telebot - Mojolicious-based Telegram bot

SYNOPSIS

    # Create telebot application
    
    telebot bot generate My::Bot
    

DESCRIPTION

This library helps to create mojolicious based Telegram bots. Application works via telegram webhooks. It creates route and register it in telegram. Requests form telegram are processed on this route. Application processes requests via minion tasks to minimize web interaction time. You can include your application logic in so called handlers. You have several types of handlers - one for update and one for each possible part of update. Handlers are located in lib/Handler folder and have corresponding names:

    Update.pm
    
    CallbackQuery.pm
    ChannelPost.pm
    ChatJoinRequest.pm
    ChatMember.pm
    ChosenInlineResult.pm
    EditedChannelPost.pm
    EditedMessage.pm
    InlineQuery.pm
    Message.pm
    MyChatMember.pm
    Poll.pm
    PollAnswer.pm
    PreCheckoutQuery.pm
    ShippingQuery.pm

To implement your logic you must overwrite subroutine run

    package My::Bot::Handler::Message;
    use Mojo::Base 'Telebot::Handler', -signatures;

    sub run ($self) {
        
        # Your magic here
        
        $self;
    }

    1;

Handler have attributes app - reference to application, payload - data recieved from update, update_id - Telegram ID of update.

Handler Update gets full update paypload. Typed handlers gets only corresponding part of update.

For example if incoming update contain message - two handlers will be executed - Update and Message. Update will recieve full update payload, Message only message part of update.

For interaction with Telegram API you can use helper tg:request

    $self->app->tg->request(getMe => {});
    
    $self->app->tg->request(sendLocation => {
        chat_id => 777,
        latitude => 90-rand(180),
        longitude => 180-rand(360),
    });
