Visit to our wiki to read botf documentation
dotnet add package Deployf.Botf
Put next code into Program.cs
file
using Deployf.Botf;
class Program : BotfProgram
{
// It's boilerplate program entrypoint.
// We just simplified all usual code into static method StartBot.
// But in this case of starting of the bot, you should add a config section under "bot" key to appsettings.json
public static void Main(string[] args) => StartBot(args);
// Action attribute mean that you mark async method `Start`
// as handler for user's text in message which equal to '/start' string.
// You can name method as you want
// And also, second argument of Action's attribute is a description for telegram's menu for this action
[Action("/start", "start the bot")]
public void Start()
{
// Just sending a reply message to user. Very simple, isn't?
Push($"Send `{nameof(Hello)}` to me, please!");
}
[Action(nameof(Hello))]
public void Hello()
{
Push("Hey! Thank you! That's it.");
}
// Here we handle all unknown command or just text sent from user
[On(Handle.Unknown)]
public async Task Unknown()
{
// Here, we use the so-called "buffering of sending message"
// It means you dont need to construct all message in the string and send it once
// You can use Push to just add the text to result message, or PushL - the same but with new line after the string.
PushL("You know.. it's very hard to recognize your command!");
PushL("Please, write a correct text. Or use /start command");
// And finally, send buffered message
await Send();
}
}
And replace content of appsettings.json
with your bot username and token:
{
"bot": {
"Token": "123456778990:YourToken",
"Username": "username_bot",
"AutoSend": true
}
}
And that's it! Veeery easy, isn't?
Just run the program :)
Other examples you can find in /Examples
folder.
After you develop your bot, you can deploy it to our hosting: deploy-f.com
