Quick start

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val token = "<TOKEN>"
    val bot = Bot.createPolling(token)
    bot.onCommand("/start") { msg, _ ->
        bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id, "Hello World!")
    }
    bot.start()
}

Chain

It is common case when you need to ask the user several questions sequentially and process user errors. Now you can create such chains easily. Sea the example below. Do not forget to call build() method at the end.

fun main() {
    val token = "<TOKEN>"
    val username = "<BOT USERNAME>"
    val bot = Bot.createPolling(username, token)

    bot.chain("/start") { msg -> bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id.toChatId(), "Hi! What is your name?") }
        .then { msg -> bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id.toChatId(), "Nice to meet you, ${msg.text}! Send something to me") }
        .then { msg -> bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id.toChatId(), "Fine! See you soon") }
        .build()

    bot.chain(
        label = "location_chain",
        predicate = { msg -> msg.location != null },
        action = { msg ->
            bot.sendMessage(
                msg.chat.id.toChatId(),
                "Fine, you've sent me a location. Confirm the order?(yes|no)"
            )
        })
        .then("answer_choice") { msg ->
            when (msg.text) {
                "yes" -> bot.jumpToAndFire("order_taxi", msg)
                "no" -> bot.jumpToAndFire("cancel_ordering", msg)
                else -> {
                    bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id.toChatId(), "Oops, I don't understand you. Just answer yes or no?")
                    bot.jumpTo("answer_choice", msg)
                }
            }
        }
        .then("order_taxi", isTerminal = true) { msg ->
            bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id.toChatId(), "Fine! Taxi is coming")
        }
        .then("cancel_ordering", isTerminal = true) { msg ->
            bot.sendMessage(msg.chat.id.toChatId(), "Ok! See you next time")
        }
        .build()

    bot.start()
}
