NAME Bot::ChatBots::Telegram - Telegram adapter for Bot::ChatBots VERSION This document describes Bot::ChatBots::Telegram version 0.014. SYNOPSIS # A minimal Telegram Bot using WebHooks use Log::Any qw< $log >; use Log::Any::Adapter; use Mojolicious::Lite; Log::Any::Adapter->set(MojoLog => logger => app->log); plugin 'Bot::ChatBots::Telegram' => instances => [ [ 'WebHook', processor => \&processor, register => 1, token => $ENV{TOKEN}, unregister => 1, url => 'https://example.com:8443/mybot', ], # more can follow here... ]; app->start; sub processor { my $record = shift; # do whatever you want with $record, e.g. set a quick response $record->{send_response} = 'your thoughs are important for us!'; return $record; } # You can also add Bot::ChatBots::Telegram::LongPoll sources if you want DESCRIPTION This module allows you to to define Bot::ChatBots for Telegram , a messaging application. For an introduction and tutorial, see Bot::ChatBots::Telegram::Guide::Tutorial. Strictly speaking, this module is a Mojolicious plugin that allows you to load and use Bot::ChatBots::Telegram::WebHook (see "SYNOPSIS" for a quick example). On the other hand, the distribution also contains other modules that allow you to interact with Telegram, e.g. Bot::Chatbots::Telegram::LongPoll. These modules rely upon Log::Any for emitting logging information; you are encouraged to read that module's documentation for further information. For what we are concerned, you have to remember that all logs will be lost unless you configure Log::Any, e.g. to send messages on standard output you can do this: use Log::Any::Adapter qw< Stderr >; If using the web hook, then you will probably want to send the logs together with Mojolicious's logs, like this: use Mojolicious::Lite; use Log::Any::Adapter; Log::Any::Adapter->set(MojoLog => logger => app->log); The configuration above relies on the presence of Log::Any::Adapter::MojoLog. METHODS All the heavylifting is done by Bot::ChatBots::MojoPlugin. BUGS AND LIMITATIONS Report bugs through GitHub (patches welcome).
