# Ruby Telegram Bot boilerplate
## UPD (20.06.2016)
I've created an awesome list of resources related to bots (from tutorials and SDKs to the events and people). Be sure to [check it out](https://github.com/BotCube/awesome-bots)!
[Awesome bots list](https://github.com/BotCube/awesome-bots)
If you want to use Webhooks API instead of long-polling, be able to save state and create more scalable and powerful bot read the article below.
[Full guide on creating statefull Telegram bot](https://botcube.co/blog/2017/02/04/full-guide-on-creating-telegram-bot-with-rails.html)
## Features
* Ability to save some data to a local database (Postgres by default)
* Automatic logging of received and sent message
* Easy internationalization using i18n gem
* Already created class for creating [custom keyboards](https://core.telegram.org/bots#keyboards)
* Database logging
* Separate classes for all the functional, so it's very easy to customize something
## Usage
### Defining responses
Use the `on` method in `message_responder.rb` like in the example below:
```ruby
def respond
on /^\/start/ do
answer_with_greeting_message
end
on /^\/command (.+)/ do |arg| #supports up to two arguments but it is easily extendable
# do your stuff
end
end
```
### Running the bot
For the first you need to install gems required to start a bot:
```sh
bundle install
```
Then you need to create `secrets.yml` where your bot unique token will be stored and `database.yml` where database credentials will be stored. I've already created samples for you, so you can easily do:
```sh
cp config/database.yml.sample config/database.yml
cp config/secrets.yml.sample config/secrets.yml
```
Then you need to fill your [Telegram bot unique token](https://core.telegram.org/bots#botfather) to the `secrets.yml` file and your database credentials to `database.yml`.
After this you need to create and migrate your database:
```sh
rake db:create db:migrate
```
Great! Now you can easily start your bot just by running this command:
```sh
bin/bot
```
