telega

A Gleam library for the Telegram Bot API.

It provides:

• an inteface to the Telegram Bot HTTP-based APIs telega/api
• adapter to use with wisp
• a simple session bot implementation

Installation

gleam add telega

Simple usage

To start using the library, you must install wisp and use the telega adapter middleware.

import gleam/erlang/process
import gleam/result
import gleam/option.{None, Some}
import mist
import wisp
import telega
import telega/adapters/wisp as telega_wisp
import telega/api as telega_api

fn handle_request(bot, req) {
 use <- telega_wisp.handle_bot(req, bot)
 wisp.not_found()
}

fn echo_handler(ctx) {
 use <- telega.log_context(ctx, "echo")

 case ctx.message.raw.text {
   Some(text) ->
     telega_api.reply(ctx, text)
     |> result.map(fn(_) { Nil })
   None -> Error("No text in message")
 }
}

pub fn main() {
 wisp.configure_logger()

 let assert Ok(bot) =
   telega.new(
     token: "your bot token from @BotFather",
     url: "your bot url",
     webhook_path: "secret path",
     secret_token: None,
   )
   |> telega.handle_all(echo_handler)
   |> telega.init_nil_session

 let assert Ok(_) =
   wisp.mist_handler(handle_request(bot, _), wisp.random_string(64))
   |> mist.new
   |> mist.port(8000)
   |> mist.start_http
   |> result.nil_error

 process.sleep_forever()
}
