Enum PeerRef 

pub enum PeerRef {
    Username(String),
    Id(i64),
    Peer(Peer),
}

Flexible reference to a Telegram peer (user, basic group, or channel).

Construct via any of the From impls or by wrapping an already-resolved tl::enums::Peer. Use peer_ref.resolve(&client).await to obtain the underlying tl::enums::Peer, performing a network lookup only when the username is not yet cached.

Variants

Username(String)

"@username", "username", "me", or "self".

Id(i64)

Numeric ID.

Positive → user.
Negative above −1 000 000 000 000 → basic group (chat_id = -id).
Negative ≤ −1 000 000 000 000 → channel/supergroup (channel_id = -id - 1_000_000_000_000).

Peer(Peer)

Already-resolved TL peer: forwarded at zero cost.

Implementations

impl PeerRef

pub async fn resolve(self, client: &Client) -> Result<Peer, InvocationError>

Resolve this reference to a tl::enums::Peer.

• Peer variant → returned immediately.
• Id variant → decoded from Bot-API encoding, no network call.
• Username variant → may perform a contacts.resolveUsername RPC if not already cached.
