ZEGBot

This library wraps the JSON decoding processing, making it easy to decode incoming JSON String to manipulatable objects.

This library wraps the processing of converting objects to Telegram Bot API request parameters and the processing of performing request, making it easy to handle incoming update.

Installation

Add this project as a dependency in your Package.swift file.

.package(url: "https://github.com/shaneqi/ZEGBot.git", from: Version(4, 2, 8))

Quick Start

Checkout the example here: ./Example.

Or you can just put the following code into main.swift of your project.

• Sending messages directly:

import ZEGBot

// Don't forget to fill in your bot token.
let bot = ZEGBot(token: "TYPE YOUR TOKEN HERE")

do {
  try bot.send(message: "Hello world!", to: AnyChat(chatId: CHAT_ID))
} catch let error {
  NSLog("Bot exit due to: \(error)")
}

• or responding to incoming messages/updates:

import ZEGBot

// Don't forget to fill in your bot token.
let bot = ZEGBot(token: "YOUR_BOT_TOKEN")

do {
  try bot.run { updates, bot in
    // Handle updates here...
  }
} catch let error {
  NSLog("Bot exit due to: \(error)")
}

Usage

• Get text content of the incoming message:

  ...
  if let text = update.message?.text {
    // Do something.
  }
  ...

• Get other type of content if exists:

  ...
  if let voice = update.message?.voice {
    // Do something.
  }
  ...

• Send a text message to a chat:

  ...
  if let message = update.message {
    do {
      try bot.send(message: "bar", to: message.chat)
    } catch let error {
      NSLog("Failed to send message due to: \(error)")
    }
  }
  ...

  or

  ...
  do {
    try bot.send(message: "bar", to: AnyChat(chatId: CHAT_ID))
  } catch let error {
    NSLog("Failed to send message due to: \(error)")
  }
  ...

• Send a silent message with a none-preview markdown link to a chat:

  ...
  do {
    try bot.send(
      message: "[Google](https://google.com)",
      to: AnyChat(chatId: CHAT_ID),
      parseMode: .markdown,
      disableWebPagePreview: true,
      disableNotification: true)
  } catch let error {
    NSLog("Failed to send message due to: \(error)")
  }
  ...

• In all the sending methods, send to a Message Object means reply to this specific message. While Send to a Chat Object means send to this chat without replying to anyone.

  ...
  if let message = update?.message {
    do {
      /* This sends a message replying to another message. */
      try bot.send(message: "bar", to: message)
      /* This doesn't reply to a message. */
      try bot.send(message: "bar", to: message.chat)
    } catch let error {
      NSLog("Failed to send message due to: \(error)")
    }
  }
  ...
