A full-featured framework that empowers you to easily build [Telegram bots ](https://telegram.org/blog/bot-revolution ) using the [`async`/`.await` ](https://rust-lang.github.io/async-book/01_getting_started/01_chapter.html ) syntax in [Rust ](https://www.rust-lang.org/ ). It handles all the difficult stuff so you can focus only on your business logic.

## Highlights

2020-07-11 16:52:29 +02:00
- **Functioal reactive design.** teloxide has [functional reactive design], allowing you to declaratively manipulate streams of updates from Telegram using filters, maps, folds, zips, and a lot of [other adaptors].

2020-07-04 15:45:19 +02:00
2020-07-11 16:52:29 +02:00
- **Persistence.** Dialogues management is independent of how/where dialogues are stored: you can just replace one line and make them [persistent]. Out-of-the-box storages include [Redis].

2020-07-11 16:52:29 +02:00
- **Strongly typed bot commands.** You can describe bot commands as enumerations, and then they'll be automatically constructed from strings. Just like you describe JSON structures in [serde-json] and command-line arguments in [structopt].

2020-05-26 13:03:24 +02:00
## Setting up your environment
1. [Download Rust ](http://rustup.rs/ ).
2. Create a new bot using [@Botfather ](https://t.me/botfather ) to get a token in the format `123456789:blablabla` .
3. Initialise the `TELOXIDE_TOKEN` environmental variable to your token:
2020-02-12 11:47:51 +01:00
```bash
2020-05-25 22:53:12 +02:00
# Unix-like
2020-02-19 00:50:02 +01:00
$ export TELOXIDE_TOKEN=< Your token here >
2020-02-14 11:28:35 +01:00
# Windows
2020-02-19 22:22:32 +01:00
$ set TELOXIDE_TOKEN=< Your token here >
2020-02-12 11:47:51 +01:00
```
2020-05-26 13:03:24 +02:00
4. Be sure that you are up to date:
2020-02-12 11:09:53 +01:00
```bash
2020-02-24 22:35:15 +01:00
# If you're using stable
2020-02-12 11:09:53 +01:00
$ rustup update stable
2020-02-24 22:35:15 +01:00
$ rustup override set stable
# If you're using nightly
$ rustup update nightly
$ rustup override set nightly
2020-01-26 22:36:36 +01:00
```
2020-02-12 11:09:53 +01:00
2020-05-26 13:03:24 +02:00
5. Execute `cargo new my_bot` , enter the directory and put these lines into your `Cargo.toml` :
2020-01-26 22:36:36 +01:00
```toml
2020-02-12 11:09:53 +01:00

### The dices bot
This bot throws a dice on each incoming message:

### Commands
2020-07-25 15:40:58 +02:00
Commands are strongly typed and defined declaratively, similar to how we define CLI using [structopt] and JSON structures in [serde-json]. The following bot accepts these commands:
- `/username <your username>`
- `/usernameandage <your username> <your age>`
- `/help`

### Dialogues management
2020-07-28 18:02:48 +02:00
A dialogue is described by an enumeration, where each variant is one of possible dialogue's states. There are also _subtransition functions_ , which turn a dialogue from one state to another, thereby forming a [FSM].
2020-07-08 11:43:54 +02:00
[FSM]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite-state_machine
2020-07-28 18:02:48 +02:00
Below is a bot, which asks you three questions and then sends the answers back to you. First, let's start with an enumeration (a collection of our dialogue's states):

```rust

#[derive(Transition, From)]
2020-07-24 14:40:05 +02:00
pub enum Dialogue {
Start(StartState),
2020-07-26 00:14:42 +02:00
ReceiveFullName(ReceiveFullNameState),
ReceiveAge(ReceiveAgeState),
ReceiveLocation(ReceiveLocationState),
2020-07-24 14:40:05 +02:00

}
}
2020-07-26 19:16:49 +02:00
```
2020-07-28 18:02:48 +02:00
When a user sends a message to our bot, and such a dialogue does not yet exist, `Dialogue::default()` is invoked, which is `Dialogue::Start` . Every time a message is received, an associated dialogue is extracted, and then passed to a corresponding subtransition function:

All these subtransitions accept a corresponding state (one of the many variants of `Dialogue` ), a context, and a textual message. They return `TransitionOut<Dialogue>` , e.g. a mapping from `<your state type>` to `Dialogue` .

## Recommendations
- Use this pattern:
```rust
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
run().await;
}
async fn run() {
// Your logic here...
}
```
Instead of this:
```rust
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() {
// Your logic here...
}
```

The second one produces very strange compiler messages because of the `#[tokio::main]` macro. However, the examples in this README use the second variant for brevity.

## Cargo features
- `redis-storage` -- enables the [Redis] support.
- `cbor-serializer` -- enables the [CBOR] serializer for dialogues.
- `bincode-serializer` -- enables the [Bincode] serializer for dialogues.
- `frunk` -- enables [`teloxide::utils::UpState`], which allows mapping from a structure of `field1, ..., fieldN` to a structure of `field1, ..., fieldN, fieldN+1` .

## FAQ
2020-06-26 14:35:43 +02:00
Q: Where I can ask questions?
2020-02-19 02:41:59 +01:00
2020-07-28 20:43:09 +02:00
A: [Issues ](https://github.com/teloxide/teloxide/issues ) is a good place for well-formed questions, for example, about:
- the library design;
- enhancements;
- bug reports;
- ...
If you can't compile your bot due to compilation errors and need quick help, feel free to ask in [our official Telegram group ](https://t.me/teloxide ).

Q: Do you support the Telegram API for clients?
A: No, only the bots API.
2020-06-26 14:35:43 +02:00
Q: Why Rust?
A: Most programming languages have their own implementations of Telegram bots frameworks, so why not Rust? We think Rust provides enough good ecosystem and the language itself to be suitable for writing bots.
Q: Can I use webhooks?
2020-07-24 21:07:18 +02:00
A: teloxide doesn't provide special API for working with webhooks due to their nature with lots of subtle settings. Instead, you setup your webhook by yourself, as shown in [`examples/ngrok_ping_pong_bot` ](examples/ngrok_ping_pong_bot/src/main.rs ) and [`examples/heroku_ping_pong_bot` ](examples/heroku_ping_pong_bot/src/main.rs ).

Q: Can I use different loggers?
2020-07-28 20:26:20 +02:00
A: Yes. You can setup any logger, for example, [fern], e.g. teloxide has no specific requirements as it depends only on [log]. Remember that [`enable_logging!`] and [`enable_logging_with_filter!`] are just **optional** utilities.
