README

This package provides methods for working with the telegram bot api, and helpers for receiving updates via webhooks or the polling method
Requires PHP >= 8.0.2 and Laravel >= 8

Installation

Require the serogaq/laravel-tgbotapi package in your composer.json and update your dependencies:

composer require serogaq/laravel-tgbotapi

Then run the command:

php artisan tgbotapi:install

Usage

Set up your bot in config/tgbotapi.php

Add a listener for the new update event:

// app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php
use App\Listeners\HandleNewUpdate;
use Serogaq\TgBotApi\Events\NewUpdateEvent;
class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
	protected $listen = [
		NewUpdateEvent::class => [
			HandleNewUpdate::class,
		],
	];
}

To receive updates via webhooks, use the command:

php artisan tgbotapi:setwebhook

To receive updates via a long polling, create a background task:

// app/Console/Kernel.php
class Kernel extends ConsoleKernel {
	protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule) {
		$schedule->command('tgbotapi:getupdates', ['bot_username', '--until-complete'])->everyMinute()->withoutOverlapping()->runInBackground();
	}
}

Events will be sent to app/Listeners/HandleNewUpdate.php where you can process them.

Package provides the logic for handling updates in controllers:

// app/Listeners/HandleNewUpdate.php
use Serogaq\TgBotApi\Facades\BotManager;
use Serogaq\TgBotApi\Events\NewUpdateEvent;
use Serogaq\TgBotApi\Traits\ProcessingInControllers;
class HandleNewUpdate {
	use ProcessingInControllers;
}

Next, create controller for the update:

$ php artisan make:tgbotapi:controller CommandUpdate

All updates with type CommandUpdate, i.e. commands, will be processed in the controller:

// app/TgBotApi/Updates/CommandUpdate.php
use Serogaq\TgBotApi\Events\NewUpdateEvent;
use Serogaq\TgBotApi\Facades\BotManager;
use Serogaq\TgBotApi\Interfaces\UpdateController;
class CommandUpdate implements UpdateController {
	public function __construct(protected NewUpdateEvent $event) {}
	public function handle(): void {
		BotManager::bot('username_bot')?->sendMessage([
			'text' => $this->event->update['message']['text'],
			'chat_id' => $this->event->update['message']['chat']['id']
		])->send();
	}
}
