README

Teebot is yet another Telegram bot API framework. The main difference from other implementations that it is fully object oriented, very flexible, easy to extend and configure. You can focus on business logic implementation and do not think about implementation of manual Telegram API calls. It has object oriented architecture yet quite simple and understandable. Additionally you can create and run as many bots as you want at the same time.

Usage

The very first step is installation of the required packages. To install the packages please run

composer install

To run your bots you can use command line application called just like the package teebot and placed in bin directory.

If you would like to tryout the example bot from the package just rename or copy the file .env.template to .env and modify it with your own data. The only thing you have to provide is Telegram's API Token. If you do not have one yet you can easily get it from the official Telegram's web site.

After you got the token and set it in the .env you are ready to run the example bot. So from the command line just run:

php bin/teebot listener:start Bot/Example

Then find your bot in Telegram client and send the message /me or /foo to it. You should now see the message "Me command triggered!" in the console where you started your bot.

Capability

PHP 7.1 and higher (for version 5.6 please check the php_56 branch, but it wont be supported anymore)
