Elixir TDLib

This elixir library binds telegram’s TDLib, allowing you to interact with Telegram as a full-fledged client (not as a bot!). It ships :

• Telegram’s tdlib, licensed under the Boost Software License 1.0 (BSL-1.0)
• oott123’s tdlib-json-cli, licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 (AGPL-3.0)

Most of the interactions with this project are done via the TDLib module. Any structure used to interact with TDLib is defined under either TDLib.Object or TDLib.Method. You can create as many session as you want, but note that each of them launch a new instance of tdlib-json-cli via a port.

Installation

Add the following to your mix.exs :

def deps do
  [{:tdlib, "~> 0.0.2"}]
end

Note that compiling this project will compile Telegram’s TDLib (C++) itself, it’s going to take a while and depends on the following :

• C++14 compatible compiler (clang 3.4+, GCC 4.9+, MSVC 19.0+ (Visual Studio 2015+), Intel C++ Compiler 17+)
• OpenSSL
• zlib
• gperf
• CMake (3.0.2+)

Configuration

This library do not need configuration, however, the following options are available :

# Disable automatic handling of authentification and directly forward the
# incoming messages to the client
config :telegram_tdlib, disable_handling: false

# Override default path of the telegram-json-cli binary
config :telegram_tdlib, backend_binary: "/path/to/my/binary"
