How to track states among chats+users?

[crabvk]

Since teloxide::dispatching::dialogue::Dialogue is "a wrapper over Storage and a chat ID", it knows nothing about user ID, so I conclude it's not possible with teloxide's FSM for two users in one chat use a dialogue independently.
In comparison, aiogram does that, they track states among chats+users.
Can teloxide facilitate chat+user bound FSM or should I come up with my own implementation in that case?

Currently teloxide dialogues are specifically tailored to track state of a chat, yes. You could construct Dialogue and pass user id there, instead of the chat id (but then the user will have the same state in all chats), but that's about it, really.

Could you explain more about your use-case / what exactly do you want? Similarly I would like to hear how/why does aiogram handle dialogues. We could change how we handle dialogues, but we need to know how we should do that =)

You'll probably have to implement state tracking yourself, yes, since we won't be able to change teloxide's dialogues soon enough.

Can I add it?

Note: I already discussed this in the development group teloxide_dev#74233

Well, my answer still holds: teloxide currently doesn't support (chat, user) dialogues, but it's not a fundamental property, we could change it.

@TheAwiteb I'd like to hear from @Hirrolot as he's more involved with the dialogue stuff (I personally never used them, 😅 ). I personally have no issue with you implementing it.

but it's not a fundamental property, we could change it.

In the next release I hope, by the way the next release will be a big one

The next release will take an infinite amount of time and be infinitely big /joking
