About The Project
-----------------

[](#about-the-project)

Telepath is a modern framework-agnostic libraray to create Telegram Bots in PHP.

It stands out by generating a lot of PHP Code automatically from the [Telegram Bot API documentation](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api) and using modern PHP features like Attributes and Named Parameters.

([back to top](#readme-top))

Before You Start
----------------

[](#before-you-start)

We want to make use of modern PHP all the way but the development of PHP doesn't stop. This means if there will be a feature in a new PHP version that makes sense to use in this package, we will.

**So beware of that and only use this library if you're running in a setup where you can easily upgrade to new PHP versions when they get released.**

([back to top](#readme-top))

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

1. Require this package with `composer require telepath/telepath`
2. Create an instance and pass it your Bot API Token via `$bot = new \Telepath\Bot($apiToken);`
3. Call all available methods of the [Telegram Bot API](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api) via the Bot Instance, like `$bot->sendMessage($chatId, $text);`

*For a more detailled look including how to receive and react to messages and commands, have a look into our [Documentation](https://telepath-php.dev)*
