@@ -47,6 +54,13 @@ All the API Dialogues management is independent of how/where they are stored: just replace one line and make them persistent (for example, store on a disk, transmit through a network), without affecting the actual FSM algorithm. By default, teloxide stores all user dialogues in RAM. Default database implementations are coming!

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. +

+ +
+ ## 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`.
