telebot.nim
Async Telegram Bot API Client implement in @Nim-Lang
Notes
From version 1.0.0, procs likes newMessage, newPhoto,.. are gone, use sendMessage, sendDocument instead.
If you still prefer the old/ugly way to send stuffs, just import telebot/compat for backward compatible
Installation
$ nimble install telebot
Usage
echo bot
import telebot, asyncdispatch, logging, options, strutils
var L = newConsoleLogger(fmtStr="$levelname, [$time] ")
addHandler(L)
# remember to strip your secret key to avoid HTTP error
const API_KEY = strip(slurp("secret.key"))
proc updateHandler(b: Telebot, u: Update): Future[bool] {.async.} =
if not u.message.isSome:
# return true will make bot stop process other callbacks
return true
var response = u.message.get
if response.text.isSome:
let text = response.text.get
discard await b.sendMessage(response.chat.id, text, parseMode = "markdown", disableNotification = true, replyToMessageId = response.messageId)
