Telegram API for Ruby!

DUB Gem Version Code Climate Inline docs

Gitter

A Ruby wrapper that communicates with the Telegram-CLI.

Installation

Requirements

  • You need to install the Telegram-CLI version 1.3.0 or higher first.

RubyGems

In order to use the telegram-rb you will need to install the gem (either manually or using Bundler), and require the library in your Ruby application:

bash $ gem install telegram-rb

or in your Gemfile:

```ruby # latest stable gem ‘telegram-rb’, require: ‘telegram’

or track master repo

gem ‘telegram-rb’, github: ‘ssut/telegram-rb’, require: ‘telegram’ ```

Usage

The library uses EventMachine, so the logic is wrapped in EM.run.

```ruby # When using Bundler, let it load all libraries require ‘bundler’ Bundler.require(:default)

Otherwise, require ‘telegram’, which will load its dependencies

# require ‘telegram’

EM.run do telegram = Telegram::Client.new do |cfg, auth| cfg.daemon = ‘/path/to/tg/bin/telegram-cli’ cfg.key = ‘/path/to/tg/tg-server.pub’ cfg.config_file = ‘/path/to/config’ # optional, default file will be used if not set cfg.profile = ‘user2’ # optional, the profiles must be configured in ~/.telegram-cli/config cfg.logger = Logger.new(STDOUT) # optional, default logger will be created if not set

# optional properties, could be used for authorization/registration telegram accounts
auth.phone_number = '<valid phone number>'
auth.confirmation_code = -> { '<received confirmation code via sms or call>' }
auth.register = { # required in case with registration new telegram account
  first_name: '<user first name>',
  last_name: '<user last name>'
}   end

telegram.connect do # This block will be executed when initialized.

# See your telegram profile
puts telegram.profile

telegram.contacts.each do |contact|
  puts contact
end

telegram.chats.each do |chat|
  puts chat
end

# Event listeners
# When you've received a message:
telegram.on[Telegram::EventType::RECEIVE_MESSAGE] = Proc.new do |event|
  # `tgmessage` is TelegramMessage instance
  puts event.tgmessage
end 

# When you've sent a message:
telegram.on[Telegram::EventType::SEND_MESSAGE] = Proc.new do |event|
  puts event
end

# When connection is closed:
telegram.on_disconnect = Proc.new do
  puts 'Connection with telegram-cli is closed'
end   end end ```

My goal is to have the code fully documentated for the project, so developers can use this library easily!
