SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.BotProcesses 1.0.0-alpha.2

SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.BotProcesses

An extension project built upon the SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.Core Framework.

Provides methods of creating bot processes with advanced textual input mechanics.

Description

SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.BotProcesses is a powerful library designed to facilitate the implementation of a model that assigns personalized buffers to individual users, each containing their current active tasks. This library is targeted for use in Telegram bot development, enabling seamless integration with bot processes.

1. interface IBotProcess and interface IBotRunningProcess:

   The IBotProcess interface defines the contract for a bot process. Each process is assigned a unique identifier, and it maintains its state, which represents the user-specific state information associated with the process. The IBotProcess used for creation a descriptive model of a process, meanwhile IBotRunningProcess represents launched for a certain user process.

   The IBotRunningProcess interface extends the functionalities of the IBotProcess interface, providing additional methods to manage running bot processes. It includes methods to launch a process with updates and handle input during the process execution.

2. interface IProcessManager (default: class DefaultProcessManager):

   The IProcessManager interface provides functionalities for managing bot processes. It allows defining individual processes or collections of processes. The manager can initiate a bot process based on specific arguments and user updates. Additionally, it provides methods to retrieve running processes and terminate them.

3. Default Processes (via TextInputsProcessBase<TArg>):

   The TextInputsProcessBase<TArg> abstract class serves as the foundation for input processes. Derived from this class, default input processes can be created with custom process arguments TArg, which must implement the IProcessArgument interface.

   One of its key features lies in the provision of essential base solutions inherited from the TextInputsProcessBase<TArg> class, which significantly simplifies the implementation of various bot functionalities.

   • ComplexShotInputProcess
   • ShotInputProcess
   • IntInputProcess
   • PartialInputProcess

   By leveraging the base solutions provided by SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.BotProcesses, you can focus on implementing bot-specific functionalities, reducing development time, and ensuring a robust and interactive Telegram bot experience.

With SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.BotProcesses, you can build interactive Telegram bots and manage personalized tasks efficiently, making it an essential addition to your Telegram bot development toolkit.

Usage

1. Use process manager:

   var _pm = new DefaultProcessManager();
   BotBuilder.NewBuilder("token")
       .AddService<IProcessManager>(_pm)
       .Build()
       .Listen();
   

2. Initialize processes:

   private static async Task When_ProcessCompletedAsync(TextInputsArguments<YourType> args, SignedMessageTextUpdate update)
   {
       if (args.CompleteStatus == CompleteStatus.Success)
       {
           await this.SendToDatabaseExample<YourType>(args.BuildingInstance);
       }
       // Some inform action
       await InformSenderAsync(args.CompleteStatus, update);
   }
   

   var procState =  DefaultUserStatenew(1001, "procId.state");
   var message = new OutputMessageText("Please, fill all details:");
   ShotInputProcess<YourType> process = new("procId", "Cancel", procState, message, When_ProcessCompletedAsync);
   

3. Define them:

   // Resolve if necessary
   // var _pm = _botManager.ResolveService<IProcessManager>();
   
   _pm.Define(process);
   

4. Access and run defined process anytime:

   priate async Task UpdateHandledAsync(SignedMessageTextUpdate update)
   {
       var _pm = update.Owner.ResolveService<IProcessManager>();
       await _pm.GetDefined("procId")
           .GetRunning(update.Sender.TelegramId, new TextInputsArguments(new YourType()))
           .LauchWith(update);
   }
   

5. Enhancing experience:

   Do not forget to define appropriate rules for converting. For this example:

   // Building logic
   var serializer = _botManager.ResolveService<IArgsSerializeService>();
   serializer.AddRule<YourType>(input =>
   {
       YourType customDataInstance;
           // Custom logic to convert the string input into YourType
           // ... (implementation details)
       return ConvertResult<YourType>.Success(customDataInstance);
   });
