set the channel description: Telegram Bot API wrapper framework

@Ovsyannikov Alexey Please provide a description with the first message and pin it 🙂

Hello 😊 This channel is about tgbotapi - set of libraries (somebody even calls it

framework

🤔 ) which has been created as strongly-typed wrapper for Telegram Bot API. Currently there are a lot of features in this framework out-of-the-box, like: • Opportunity to put it almost (excepting native targets) everywhere - library available on JVM and JS • Strongly-typed API. In most cases you will know exact result type of your requests and incoming updates • DSL for formatted texts building • DSL for building of your base bot (Behaviour Builder) • DSL for live locations • Webhooks and LongPolling extended support (read here more about it) • Extendable functionality. ◦ Core is very low-level and it gives opportunity to create useful DSLs ◦ API extension for

Telegram Bot API methods

-like usage (for example,

bot.getMe()

) Useful links: • Library • Bookstack • KDocs Here you are always welcome with feature suggestions, bugs reports and any other activity related to this library 😊

Update note in feed :)

Hello :) in our telegram community was suggested to use #dev-inmo-tgbotapi topic in all our projects related to the library. I am fully agree with this suggestion and already add the most number of my public libraries and bots to this topic and I advise you to do the same thing too😊

Hello everybody :) I am preparing new version 0.35.7 and currently it is dependencies-update version, but you may suggest your changes/features/bugfixes to include in this release 😊

Besides, I would like to share my thoughts about version 1.0.0 🙈: • Utils will be cleared up - in version before 1.0.0 a lot of Utils will be deprecated for replacing/removing due to their redundancy • I plan to add new extension for behaviour builder and fsm modules which must combine these things in more useful API As always, you may write here or in Telegram your suggestions about the things we may include in release (really release) version of library

Hello everybody :) I have created a small prompt note about exceptions handling and hope that it will help you to find your bugs or investigate some incorrect behaviour 🤞

Hi 😊 New version 0.35.8 has been released and here several important improvenents: •

MultipartRequestCallFactory

now will use file name as multipart filename parameter instead of generated file id • New extension

MPPFile#asMultipartFile

• Fixes in

TelegramBot#withAction

(now actions will not blocking passed lambda execution) • New extensions

BehaviourContext#commandWithArgs

and

BehaviourContext#onCommandWithArgs

I wished also to note that in context of 0.35.8 update I have changed RandomFileSender example bot - now it may react to arguments (you may pass number of files to send), use an action while sending files, and creating media groups for each chosen files collection (when files for than one 😊 )

Hello :) how about new survey?

Release 0.35.9 has been published. Here I have to rewrite triggers in

BehaviourBuilder

, split

LocationContent

to different types and add opportunity to use

*ln

syntax inside of

buildEntities

(issue). Full changelog is here . Besides, you may look at the migration example in this commit

Hello everybody :) Some time has past since 0.35.9 and it is time to plan 0.36.0. Currently next release should include dependencies updates, deprecations removing and improvements in BehaviourBuilder + FSM relations, but I will be glad to any suggestions 😊

New version

0.36.0

has been released and it contains a lot of important changes: • As always, all deprecations have been removed • New packages for extensions 😊 now you may write

tgbotapi.api

instead

tgboatpi.extensions.api

and similarly for all other extensions. Old packages will be available until next major release • New keyboard DSL: say goodbye to

ReplyKeyboardMarkup(matrix { row { ... } })

and hello to

replyKeyboard { row { simpleButton("") } }

• New integration of FSM into Behaviour Builder in new package `tgbotapi.behaviour_builder.fsm`: in this realization taken attention for more closed work with FSM inside of telegram bots • New type

WithUser

. Now

FromUser

is extending

WithUser

and any tgbotapi type with user implements type

WithUser

. It is imortant, that constructors of classes-implementors of

FromUser

has changed their incoming parameters names from

user

to

from

due to renames inside of

FromUser

, but you still may use

user

field for

FromUser

objects Besides, I recommend you to read a small note about flows and changes of mechanisms inside of behaviour builder and full changelog if you want to know all news

Hello everybody :) some time ago I have started to create explore topic on github, but found out that I can't manage this topic due to the fact that I am maintainer of dev inmo tgbotapi library

If anybody want to lead it - I will help you as much as I can

At least, currently there is completed icon for that and partially filled data in PR above

@y9san9 maybe, FYT

Hello everybody. I wished to ask you about some painful/hard/incorrect places in library you would like to see fixed. What you would like to see in documentation asap? Or maybe you want to have some DSL/extension you are using in different projects. I would be glad to know about it and add in library :)
