Quick Start

Initiate with setToken and end with run method.

Sample 1: Start

require 'Bot.php';

Bot::setToken(BOT_TOKEN, BOT_USERNAME); //init (required)
Bot::start('Welcome, I am a bot.'); //event
Bot::run(); //launch (required)

Sample 2: Keyboard

Bot::chat('/help', function(){
    $keyboard = Bot::keyboard('
    [/info] [/admin]
    [/help]
    ');
    $options = ['reply_markup' => $keyboard];
    return Bot::sendMessage("List of Commands:", $options);
});

Sample 3: Inline Keyboard

Bot::chat('/inline_keyboard', function(){
    $inline_keyboard = Bot::inline_keyboard('
    [Google|https://www.google.com] [Facebook|https://www.facebook.com]
    [More|more_data]
    ');
    $options = ['reply_markup' => $inline_keyboard];
    return Bot::sendMessage("Options:", $options);
});

Sample 4: Sending Document

Bot::chat('/send', function($file){
    if (file_exists($file)) return Bot::sendDocument($file);
    return Bot::sendMessage("$file not exists");
});

Sample 5: Chat Array

$help = function(){
    return Bot::sendMessage("This is <b>bold</b> and <i>italic</i> text.", ['parse_mode' => 'html']);
};

$info = function() {
    Bot::sendChatAction('typing');
    Bot::sendDocument('composer.json', ['caption' => 'for composer']);
};

Bot::chat_array([
    '/help' => $help,
    '/info' => $info,
]);

Sample 6: Regex

Bot::regex('/^\/start (\d+)$/', function($m){
    return Bot::sendMessage($m[1]);
});

Bot::start(function(){
    return Bot::sendMessage('Press button bellow:',
        [
            'reply_markup' => Bot::inline_keyboard('
                [BUTTON|https://t.me/Testing58384bot?start=1234567890]
            ')
        ]
