Rubogram

Rubogram is a small Faraday-based library to communicate with Telegram Bot API

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rubogram'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rubogram

Usage

At first, require rubogram in your application like this:

require 'rubogram'

Create client with your token (you can obtain one here):

client = Rubogram::Client.new 'TOKENHERE'

And then make your requests like this:

resp = client.send_message chat_id: '123', text: 'hello, machine world!'

So, as you can see sendMessage became send_message because of ruby guidelines(tm). But you can also use it like client.sendMessage, just like in the telegram docs.

Also you can use call method:

resp = client.call 'sendMessage', chat_id: '123', text: 'Hello!'

You can see parsed response of all requests like this. Resp contains full Faraday response:

resp.body

Note that in case of errors, exception will be raised, so don't forget to handle it

Options

Rubogram Client has some options you can set, here's full list:

client = Rubogram::Client.new 'TOKENHERE', adapter: Faraday.default_adapter, logging: true, raise_errors: true

Where:

adapter - faraday adapter, look into faraday docs for more of them

logging - true/false, enables/disables logging

raise_errors - true/false, enables/disables error raising. If you disable this, you can check successfullness of request by verifying ok field in the parsed body

TODO

• Write specs
• Write examples

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. To run tests you must specify two environment variables: TOKEN with your bot token and CHATID with YOUR id. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
