Tourmaline

Crystal Telegram Bot Framework

---

Quickstart

Tourmaline uses Crystal to communicate with the Telegram Bot API. Therefore to use Tourmaline you should be familiar with how Crystal works.

Once inside of a Crystal project, add Tourmaline to your shard.yml file and run shards install to install it.

For more information, see the getting started page.

require "tourmaline"

client = Tourmaline::Client.new(ENV["BOT_TOKEN"])

echo_handler = Tourmaline::CommandHandler.new("echo") do |ctx|
  text = ctx.text.to_s
    ctx.reply(text) unless text.empty?
end

client.register(echo_handler)

client.poll
