tbot

Make cool Telegram bots with Rust easily. For example, here's a simple echo bot:

use tbot::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let mut bot = tbot::bot!("BOT_TOKEN").event_loop();

    bot.text(|context| {
        let reply = context
            .send_message(&context.text.value)
            .into_future()
            .map_err(|err| {
                dbg!(err);
            });

        tbot::spawn(reply);
    });

    bot.polling().start();
}

If you're a newcomer, we recommend you go through the tutorial first. We also have several How-to guides to help you use tbot.
