Telegrammer

Telegram Bot Framework written in Swift 5.0 with SwiftNIO network framework.

What does it do
Telegrammer is open-source framework for Telegram Bots developers. It was built on top of Apple/SwiftNIO which help to demonstrate excellent performance.

SwiftNIO is a cross-platform asynchronous event-driven network application framework for rapid development of maintainable high performance protocol servers and clients.

Also Telegrammer use some submodules of Vapor 3 server side swift framework

import Telegrammer

let bot = try! Bot(token: "BOT_TOKEN_HERE")

let commandHandler = CommandHandler(commands: ["/hello"], callback: { (update, _) in
    guard let message = update.message, let user = message.from else { return }
    try! message.reply(text: "Hello \(user.firstName)", from: bot)
})

let dispatcher = Dispatcher(bot: bot)
dispatcher.add(handler: commandHandler)

_ = try! Updater(bot: bot, dispatcher: dispatcher).startLongpolling().wait()

HOWTO Guides

Usage without Vapor

  1. Create package with Swift Package Manager (SPM)
$ mkdir MyBot
$ cd MyBot
$ swift package init --type executable
  1. Define Dependencies in Package.swift file
let package = Package(
    name: "MyBot",
    dependencies: [

        ],
    targets: [
        .target( name: "MyBot", dependencies: ["Telegrammer"])
        ]
)
  1. Resolve dependencies
$ swift package resolve
  1. Generate XCode project (for macOS only)
$ swift package generate-xcodeproj
