Creating a basic bot

Create a index.php or the name of your choice.

index.php

<?php declare(strict_types=1)

use Mateodioev\TgHandler\Bot;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$bot = new Bot('YOUR BOT TOKEN', $logger);

Where logger is a instance of PSR logger, example:

use Mateodioev\TgHandler\Log\{Logger, TerminalStream};
$logger = new Logger(new TerminalStream());

You can see more about loggers in the logger page.

Adding a basic command

To create a command(event) to heard to all the /start text create the following file

start.php

use Mateodioev\TgHandler\Commands\MessageCommand;

class Start extends MessageCommand {
  protected string $name = 'start';
  protected string $description = 'Start the bot';
    
  public function execute(array $args = []){
    $this->api()->sendMessage($this->ctx()->getChatId(), 'Hello!!!');
  }
}

Note

To include this command in your index.php you can use composer autoloader or just include it using require or include php functions.

Now add it to your bot

index.php

$bot->onEvent(new Start());

Running the bot

If everything is ok, you can run the bot with the following method:

index.php

$bot->longPolling(timeout: 60);

Also open a terminal an type

php index.php
