any example for sendMessage

[merlinkory]

Could you give some example for sendMessage?

following is not work

$chat_id=-1001190992756;
$msg = (object)['hello'];
 $client->query(json_encode( ['@type' => 'sendMessage', 'chat_id' => $chat_id, 'input_message_content' => $msg, ), 10);

i see:

[ 1][t 0][1548776841.107118130][ClientJson.cpp:71] Failed to parse [request:{\0042@extra\0042:1.01234,\0042@type\0042:\0042sendMessage\0042,\0042chat_id\0042:-1001190992756,\0042input_message_content\0042:{\00420\0042:\0042hello\0042}}] [Error : 400 : Can't find field "@type"]

It is not trivial, but it is covered in tdlib documentation. We have to add it to our documentation

$chat_id=-1001190992756;
$message_text = 'hello';
$print_timeout = 1;

$client->query(json_encode([
    '@type'=>'openChat',
    'chat_id'=>$chat_id
]));

$client->query(json_encode([
    '@type'   => 'sendChatAction',
    'chat_id' => $chat_id,
    'action'  => [
        '@type' => 'chatActionTyping'
    ]
]));

sleep(1);

$client->query(json_encode([
    '@type'   => 'sendChatAction',
    'chat_id' => $chat_id,
    'action'  => [
        '@type' => 'chatActionCancel'
    ]
]));


$res=$client->query(json_encode([
    '@type'=>'sendMessage',
    'chat_id'=>$chat_id,
    'reply_to_message_id'=>0,
    'disable_notification'=>false,
    'from_background'=>false,
    'input_message_content'=>[
        '@type'=>'inputMessageText',
        'text'=>[
            '@type'=>'formattedText',
            'text'=>$message_text,
            'entities'=>[]
        ],
        'disable_web_page_preview'=>false,
        'clear_draft'=>false
    ]
]));

$client->query(json_encode([
    '@type'   => 'closeChat',
    'chat_id' => $chat_id
]));

if(!empty($res['last_message']['sendingState']) && $res['last_message']['sendingState']['@type']==='messageSendingStateFailed') {
    throw new Exception('Message sending failed');
}

@maxvgi Thank you very much for example! =)
Could you share some link, wheere it covered in tdlib documentation? I was seeking, but no result.

And do you know, why after call

$q = $client->query(json_encode([
    '@type'=>'openChat',
    'chat_id'=>$chat_id
]));
var_dump($q);

Always getting answer:

string(73) "{"@type":"error","code":3,"message":"Chat not found","@extra":1681692777}" ?

but send message work - ok :)

And as i understand "sendMessage" impossible without "openChat", right?

[merlinkory]

@maxvgi i found out: if i not open chat on the my phone (current telegram app) and don't send any in chat (via phone), I can't send Message via TDLib.
I think it is related with:

$q = $client->query(json_encode([
    '@type'=>'openChat',
    'chat_id'=>$chat_id
]));
var_dump($q);

because it doesn't work.

What do you think?

@yaroslavche , @maxvgi I think i found ansewer for my question tdlib/td#88
May be you can help me:
How i can get all my peers, include chats and contacts (if i wan't use tdlib local database) when startup my app?
thank you

[yaroslavche]

@merlinkory as levlam says simply use use_message_database or use_chat_info_database (with creating chat, f.e. createSecretChat) parameters in $client->setTdlibParameters($tdlibParams);.
But I beleive that finding the chat on startup (after tdlib parameters query) would help:

$chatName = 'telegram';
$result = $client->query(json_encode(['@type' => 'searchPublicChat', 'username' => $chatName]), 3);

UPD. Oh, I understand the question. I think (but not sure) - you need use td databases (set in tdlib parameters) and client will do all work for you =)

[merlinkory]

Ok.
Thank you for your help :)
