Quick start

telepooz built for scala-2.12. To use it add following to build file:

resolvers += "jitpack" at "https://jitpack.io"
libraryDependencies += "com.github.nikdon" % "telepooz" % "0.5.6"

And configure telepooz via the reference.conf or aplication.conf or by, for ex., env variables:

telegram {
  host = "api.telegram.org"
  token = "123456:ABC-DEF1234ghIkl-zyx57W2v1u123ew11"
  token = ${?telegram_token}

  polling {
    interval = 1000 // in milliseconds
    interval = ${?telegram_update_interval}
    limit = 100
    limit = ${?telegram_update_limit}
    parallelism = 2
    parallelism = ${?telegram_polling_parallelism}
  }

  reactor {
    parallelism = 2
    parallelism = ${?telegram_reactor_parallelism}
  }
} 

Why?

The only one reason to write was curiosity. Telepooz written on top of Akka Streams with intention to maximize using of functional abstractions provided by cats. For example, API requests are composable:

import com.github.nikdon.telepooz.api._
import com.github.nikdon.telepooz.model.methods
import com.github.nikdon.telepooz.engine.ApiRequestExecutor

val apiRequestExecutor = new ApiRequestExecutor() {}

val req = for {
  a  methods.GetMe
  b  methods.SendMessage("abc", a.result.fold("empty")(_.first_name))
} yield b

val res = req.foldMap(apiRequestExecutor)

whenReady(res){ m 
  m shouldBe a [Response[_]]
  m.ok shouldEqual true
  m.result shouldBe defined
  m.result.value shouldBe a [model.Message]
}

telepooz is far from completion, here is a list of some desired features to implemented in future:

  • File uploading via multipart/form-data

Usage

In general, bot consists of three parts: ApiRequestExecutor, Polling or WebHook and Reactor. ApiRequestExecutor creates requests to the telegram bot API endpoint. Polling asks telegram server about new updates via ApiRequestExecutor and send them to the Reactor. WebHook receives new updates via incoming requests from telegram. Finally Reactor reacts on an input stream of incoming updates from the Polling or WebHook. Toplevel Telepooz trait provides a method instance that is a ReaderT[Future, (ApiRequestExecutor, Polling, Reactor), Done]. To start a bot provide a valid input for instance.run(...) with all three components described above.

Polling

/** Just an example of how the bot might look like */
import com.github.nikdon.telepooz.engine._

object NaiveBot extends Telepooz with App {

  implicit val are = new ApiRequestExecutor {}
  val poller       = new Polling
  val reactor      = new Reactor {
    val reactions = CommandBasedReactions()
      .on("/start")(implicit message  args  reply("You are started!"))
      .on("/test")(implicit message  args  reply("Hi there!"))
  }

  instance.run((are, poller, reactor))
}

Webhook

import akka.stream.ActorMaterializer
import com.github.nikdon.telepooz.engine._

object WebhookBot extends Telepooz with App {

  implicit val asm = ActorMaterializer()
  implicit val are = new MockApiRequestExecutor(1) {}
  val poller       = new Webhook(endpoint = "test", interface = "127.0.0.1")
  val reactor = new Reactor {
    val reactions = CommandBasedReactions()
      .on("/start")(implicit message 
        args  {
          println(s"You are started! $args")
          reply("You are started!")
      })
      .on("/test")(implicit message 
        args  {
          println(s"You are tested! $args")
          reply("You are tested!")
      })
  }

  webhook.run((poller, reactor))
}

Contributors and participation

telepooz support the Typelevel code of conduct, contributions are always welcome. Good ways to contribute include:

  • Raising bugs and feature requests,
  • Fixing bugs and developing new features (I will attempt to merge in pull requests ASAP),
  • Improving the performance of telepooz,
  • Provide examples of bots.
