Bionic

Telegram bots building tool.

The library provides next features:

• Easy configuration;
• Built-in message parser into command and arguments;
• Internationalization and localization using i18n gem;
• Handlers for every command;
• Database connection.

Installation

1. Install Bionic at the command prompt if you haven't yet:

   $ gem install bionic
   

2. At the command prompt, create a new Bionic application:

   $ bionic new app
   

where app is the application name.

1. Change directory to app and run:

   $ cd myapp
   $ bundle install
   

2. Paste your your bot token and username to .env.

3. Start the application with:

   $ bionic start
   

Usage

For handling new command you need to create new handler called like a command. For example, if command sent from a user is /bye, you need to create handler called Bye under handlers directory. This handler should be inherited from Bionic::Handler and override answer method, which is a message that will be sent back.

module Handlers
  class Bye < Bionic::Handler
    private

    def answer
      'Bye!'
    end
  end
end

All text after base part of command will be split with , and passed to a handler as an array called args.

If there is no necessary handler you will see a corresponding message in logs.
