How can I analyze a message sent on a chat?

[pepo-ec]

I created a chat with my bot and using "Telegraph" I can send messages but I still don't understand how I can read the messages that have been written in the chat. Can you please explain to me (with an example) how handlers and their functions are used?

Hi! You can achieve it by using both:

• webooks: https://def-studio.github.io/telegraph/webhooks/overview

• manual polling: https://def-studio.github.io/telegraph/webhooks/manual-polling

I am using "Laravel": Should I create a route to execute a specific procedure/handler?. How do I call the handler who will respond when Telegram receives a message?

[pepo-ec]

I have changed config/telegraph.php file:

'webhook_handler' => App\Http\Webhooks\MyWebhookHandler::class,

And my MyWebhookHandler.php file is:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Webhooks;

use DefStudio\Telegraph\Handlers\WebhookHandler;
use DefStudio\Telegraph\Models\TelegraphChat;
use DefStudio\Telegraph\Models\TelegraphBot;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Http\Response;

class MyWebhookHandler extends \DefStudio\Telegraph\Handlers\WebhookHandler
{
    public function handle(Request $request, TelegraphBot $bot): void
    {
        $chat = TelegraphChat::find(1);
        $chat->message('mensaje de respuesta')->send();
    }
}

Is it the right way to address messages?

You are on the right way, remember to allow your bot to listen for all messages

Hi. I am using the same way. set web-hook. created the same MyWebhookHandler class. But i cant receive anything from my bot. I am chatting with the bot and created the chat and bot. I can send message to this chat but no updates from it?

Asking for a favor: Is it possible to create a tutorial explaining how to get started with basics? setting any route that should be or creating a simple callback, creating a command in the bot.

Or a simple demo project which could be a sample of some basics.

Thanks for this great package it seems to make lots of work done.

@ehs4nm Telegraph has evolved since this conversation started, we have just updated the documentation

now you can handle received messages by overriding WebhookHandler::handleChatMessage() method:

class MyWebhookHandler extends WebhookHandler
{
    protected function handleChatMessage(Stringable $text): void
    {
        $this->chat->html("Received: $text")->send();
    }
}

this is a great idea, I will work on something in the next few days

@pepo-ec and @ahr1384 , you should use this:

class MyWebhookHandler extends \DefStudio\Telegraph\Handlers\WebhookHandler
{

    protected function handleChatMessage(Stringable $text): void
    {
       $this->message->text();
       $this->message->photos();
       $this->message->video();
    }
 
}
