.package(url: "https://github.com/shaneqi/ZEGBot.git", from: Version(4, 0, 0))

Quick Start

Checkout the example here: ./Example.

Or you can just put the following code into main.swift of your project.

import ZEGBot

//  Don't forget to fill in your bot token.
let bot = ZEGBot(token: "TYPE YOUR TOKEN HERE")

bot.run { update, bot in       
  //  Handle updates here...

})

Usage

  • Get text content of the incoming message:

    ...
    if let text = update.message?.text {
      // Do something.
    }
    ...
  • Get other type of content if exists:

    ...
    if let voice = update.message?.voice {
      // Do something.
    }
    ...
  • Send a text message to a chat:

    ...
    if let message = update.message {
      bot.send(message: "bar", to: message.chat)
    }
    ...
  • Send a silent message with a none-preview markdown link to a chat:

    ...
    if let message = update?.message {
      bot.send(message: "[Google](https://google.com)", to: message.chat, parseMode: .markdown, disableWebPagePreview: true, disableNotification: true)
    }
    ...
  • In all the sending methods, send to a Message Object means reply to this specific message. While Send to a Chat Object means send to this chat without replying to anyone.

    ...
    if let message = update?.message {
      /* This sends a message replying to another message. */
      bot.send(message: "bar", to: message)
      /* This doesn't reply to a message. */
      bot.send(message: "bar", to: message.chat)
    }
    ...
  • Send a text message to a channel:

    ...
    if let channelPost = update?.channelPost {
      bot.send(message: "bar", to: channelPost.chat)
