Symfony Bundle for Telegram Bot API

A symfony bundle for luzrain/telegram-bot-api library.

Getting Started

Install Composer Packages

$ composer require luzrain/telegram-bot-bundle symfony/http-client nyholm/psr7

Enable the Bundle

<?php
// config/bundles.php

return [
    // ...
    Luzrain\TelegramBotBundle\TelegramBotBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Configure the Bundle

# config/packages/telegram_bot.yaml

telegram_bot:
  api_token: API_TOKEN
#  webhook:
#    url: https://localhost/tg-webhook

Note that symfony/http-client and nyholm/psr7 are not required. You may use any PSR-18 http client and PSR-17 factory implementations. To use your own services, set the http_client, request_factory, and stream_factory options in the telegram_bot.yaml configuration file.
Here is an example how to use Guzzle http client:

# config/services.yaml

psr18.guzzle_client:
  class: GuzzleHttp\Client
  arguments:
    - http_errors: false

psr17.guzzle_factory:
  class: GuzzleHttp\Psr7\HttpFactory

# config/packages/telegram_bot.yaml

telegram_bot:
  api_token: API_TOKEN
  http_client: psr18.guzzle_client
  request_factory: psr17.guzzle_factory
  stream_factory: psr17.guzzle_factory

For a full list of available configuration options and their documentation, run:

$ bin/console config:dump-reference telegram_bot

Receiving Messages from Telegram

There are two ways to receive updates from Telegram:

1. Webhook (recommended)

• Configure a webhook and make sure the endpoint is publicly accessible.

# config/routes.yaml

# ...
telegram_webhook:
  path: /tg-webhook
  controller: telegram_bot.webhook_controller

• Set the webhook.url option in your telegram_bot.yaml configuration file.
• Apply the webhook settings to your bot:

$ bin/console telegram:webhook:update

Whenever you change the webhook or allowed_updates configuration options, run this command again to update the bot's webhook settings.

2. Polling Daemon

Useful during development or when you cannot expose a public URL.
Start the polling daemon:

$ bin/console telegram:polling:start

Examples

Command Controller

use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Method;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Type;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotBundle\Attribute\OnCommand;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotBundle\TelegramCommand;

final class StartCommandController extends TelegramCommand
{
    // You can pass command arguments next to $message.
    // Be aware to set default values for arguments as they won't necessarily will be passed
    #[OnCommand('/start')]
    public function __invoke(Type\Message $message, string $arg1 = '', string $arg2 = ''): Method
    {
        return $this->reply('Hello from symfony bot');
    }
}

Any Event Controller

use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Event;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Method;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotApi\Type;
use Luzrain\TelegramBotBundle\Attribute\OnEvent;

// It's not necessary to extend TelegramCommand
final class OnMessageController
{
    // Listen any available event from Event namespace
    #[OnEvent(Event\Message::class)]
    public function __invoke(Type\Message $message): Method
    {
        return new Method\SendMessage(
            chatId: $message->chat->id,
            text: 'You wrote: ' . $message->text,
        );
    }
}

Publishing Commands to the Bot Menu Button

You can publish your bot commands so they appear in the bot’s menu button.
To do this, set both the description and publish arguments in the OnCommand attribute:

#[OnCommand(command: '/command1', description: 'Test command 1', publish: true)]

Publish commands list to the menu button:

$ bin/console telegram:button:update

To remove menu button:

$ bin/console telegram:button:delete
