LaravelTelegram
===============

[](#laraveltelegram)

A simple and lightweight Laravel 4.2 and Laravel 5.\* wrapper to interact with Telegram Bot.

Get Started:
------------

[](#get-started)

- First of all, you should create a Telegram Bot, you can use [Bot Father](https://core.telegram.org/bots#6-botfather) to do that;
- Create a Telegram chat room (group) and add the Bot to this group, now the Bot can send messages!
- After publish the package, open the telegram config file and provide all the required information.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. The Laravel Telegram Service Provider can be installed via ...

```
composer require ricardofontanelli/laravel-telegram:1.0
```

or [Composer](http://getcomposer.org) by requiring the `ricardofontanelli/laravel-telegram` package in your project's `composer.json`

```
{
    "require": {
        "ricardofontanelli/laravel-telegram": "1.0"
    }
}
```

Then run a composer update

```
php composer update
```

2. To use the Laravel Telegram Service Provider, you must register the provider when bootstrapping your application. If you are using Laravel >= 5.5, the package supports Automatic Package Discovery, skip to the step 3.

In Laravel find the `providers` key in your `config/app.php` and register the Laravel Telegram Service Provider.

```
    'providers' => array(
        // ...
        'RicardoFontanelli\LaravelTelegram\TelegramServiceProvider',
    )
```

Find the `aliases` key in your `config/app.php` and add the Laravel Telegram facade alias.

```
    'aliases' => array(
        // ...
        'Telegram' => 'RicardoFontanelli\LaravelTelegram\TelegramFacade',
    )
```

3. After that, run the command above to publish the Telegram config file, you must provide your Telegram Bot credentials and chat room information.

Publishing the package
----------------------

[](#publishing-the-package)

Now, you should publish the package to generate the config file, after that, edit the config file with your Telegram Bot credentials.

### Laravel 4.2

[](#laravel-42)

The config file will be generate here: `app/config/packages/ricardofontanelli/laravel-telegram/config.php`

```
php artisan config:publish ricardofontanelli/laravel-telegram
```

### Laravel 5.\*

[](#laravel-5)

The config file will be generate here: `app/config/telegram.php`

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RicardoFontanelli\LaravelTelegram\TelegramServiceProvider"
```

### Send a message:

[](#send-a-message)

Now you can use it by `php artisan tinker` and run:

```
// Send a message
Telegram::sendMessage('default', 'Here we go!');
// or async
Telegram::async()->sendMessage('default', 'Here we go!');
```

The first value is the config key name of the chat/group id where the Bot will publicate the message, you can provide the chat/group id directly.

### Get information about the Bot:

[](#get-information-about-the-bot)

```
// Send an async message
Telegram::getMe()->getResult();
```

### Get Bot update:

[](#get-bot-update)

```
// Send an async message
Telegram::getUpdates()->getResult();
```

### Other methods:

[](#other-methods)

The class has use a magic method to call unsuported methods:

```
$params = ['method'=>'GET'];
Telegram::getWebhookInfo($params)->getResult()
```

You can use the variable `$params` to send query parameters and define the HTTP method (according the Telegram Bot Api documentation).

Find more:
----------

[](#find-more)

You can find more here (Telegram Bot API)\[\], but if you need to call a method that the class doesn't support, feel free to send a PR.
