Line::Bot::MessageBuilder

Plain Old Ruby Object to Line Messaging API hash format.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'line-bot-message-builder'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install line-bot-message-builder

Usage

require it:

require 'line/bot/message_builder'

if you using Rails, you can create a initiializer config/initiializers/line_bot and require

include Line::Bot::MessageBuilder for use shorter class name or not:

# didn't include usage
Line::Bot::MessageBuilder::Message::Text.new do |m|
  m.text= '123'
end

# included usage
include Line::Bot::MessageBuilder
Message::Text.new do |m|
  m.text= '123'
end

more complex example:

Message::Template.new do |t|
  t.alt_text = 'example1'
  t.template = Template::Buttons.new do |b|
    b.text = 'example2'
    b.actions << Action::Postback.new do |a|
      a.label = 'example3'
      a.data = 'action=example3'
    end
    b.actions << Action::Postback.new do |a|
      a.label = 'example4'
      a.data = 'action=example4'
    end
  end
end

use to_h method convert MessageBuilder instance to hash:

m = Message::Template.new do |t|
  t.alt_text = 'example1'
  t.template = Template::Buttons.new do |b|
    b.text = 'example2'
    b.actions << Action::Postback.new do |a|
      a.label = 'example3'
      a.data = 'action=example3'
    end
    b.actions << Action::Postback.new do |a|
      a.label = 'example4'
      a.data = 'action=example4'
    end
  end
end

m.to_h
=> {"type"=>"template",
 "altText"=>"example1",
 "template"=>
  {"type"=>"buttons",
   "text"=>"example2",
   "actions"=>
    [{"type"=>"postback", "label"=>"example3", "data"=>"action=example3"},
     {"type"=>"postback", "label"=>"example4", "data"=>"action=example4"}]}}

with line-bot-sdk-ruby

Example with line-bot-sdk-ruby and service object.

create a service object:

# services/line_bot_service
class LineBotService
  include Line::Bot::MessageBuilder
  attr_reader :bot, :chats, :request

  def initialize(request)
    @request = request
    @body = @request.raw_post
    @signature = @request.env['HTTP_X_LINE_SIGNATURE']
    @bot = Line::Bot::Client.new(Rails.application.config.line_bot)
    @chats = @bot.parse_events_from(@body)
    raise 'signature invalid' unless @bot.validate_signature(@body, @signature)
  end

  def perform
    @chats.each do |chat|
      token = chat['replyToken']
      message = bulid_msg_and_react(chat).to_h
      next if message.blank?

      @bot.reply_message token, message
    end
  end

  private

  def bulid_msg_and_react(chat)
    # write your reply logic here
    case chat
    when Line::Bot::Event::Message
      text = chat['message'].fetch('text') { '' }
      return message1 if conditions
      return message2 if conditions2
      return message3
    when Line::Bot::Event::Postback
      data = chat['postback'].fetch('data') { '' }
      data = ActionController::Parameters.new(Rack::Utils.parse_nested_query(data))
      return message4 if data[:action] == 'action'
    end
  end

  # messages and reactions
  def message1
    do_something1
    Message::Text.new(text: 'message1')
  end

  def message2
    do_something2
    Message::Template.new do |t|
      t.alt_text = 'message2'
      t.template = Template::Buttons.new do |b|
        b.text = 'message2'
        b.actions << Action::Postback.new do |a|
          a.label = 'action1'
          a.data = 'action=action1'
        end
      end
    end
  end

  def message3
    do_something3
    Message::Text.new(text: 'message3')
  end

  def message4
    do_something3
    Messages::Sticker.new(package_id: 1, sticker_id: 5)
  end
end

and use it like this in Rails

# line_controller #webhook
def webhook
  service = LineBotService.new(request)
  service.perform
  render plain: 'Success', status: 200
end
