Telegram::Rails

Work in progress

Rails integration for telegram-rabbit.

Gives you http-like routes and controllers. Allows you to write such a code:

#routes.rb
Rails.application.routes.draw do

  telegram 'main/start', to: 'telegram/messages#start'
  telegram 'main/stop',  to: 'telegram/messages#stop'
  telegram 'main',       to: 'telegram/messages'

end

#messages_controller.rb
class Telegram::MessagesController < Telegram::Controller

  def start
    respond_with 'received /start'
  end


  def stop
    respond_with 'received /stop'
  end


  def process
    respond_with 'other commands'
  end


  #rails-like implicit/explicit template rendering (only ERB support now)
  def show
    #app/views/telegram/messages/show.(md|html|txt).erb
    #all instance variables are available in templates, like in rails
    @v1 = 'some value'
  end


  def explicit
    #explicit template rendering
    render 'telegram/path/to/template'
  end

end

TODO

• Sessions
• Callbacks
• rescue_from
• respond_to
• ...and so on from vanilla rails controllers
• Documentation
