This package for Laravel 11+ allows you to easily create interactive Telegram bots, using Laravel routing, and using Blade templates to conduct a dialogue with the user.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require it-healer/laravel-telegram-bot

php artisan telegram:install

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="telegram-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="telegram-config"

Optionally, you can publish the views using:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="telegram-views"

Optionally, if you use Sail for local development, you need add PHP params PHP_CLI_SERVER_WORKERS="10" in file supervisord.conf:

[program:php]
command=%(ENV_SUPERVISOR_PHP_COMMAND)s
user=%(ENV_SUPERVISOR_PHP_USER)s
environment=LARAVEL_SAIL="1",PHP_CLI_SERVER_WORKERS="10"
stdout_logfile=/dev/stdout
stdout_logfile_maxbytes=0
stderr_logfile=/dev/stderr
stderr_logfile_maxbytes=0

You can use Laravel Auth, edit file config/auth.php and edit section guards:

'guards' => [
        'web' => [...],
        'telegram' => [
            'driver' => 'telegram',
            'provider' => 'users',
        ]
    ],

After this you can use middleware auth:telegram in your routes.

If you want work with automatic truncate dialogs, you must run command php artisan telegram:truncate every minute using Schedule.

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    $middleware->alias([
        'telegram.live' => \ItHealer\Telegram\Middleware\LiveMiddleware::class,
    ]);
})

After you can use middleware in routes:

Route::telegram('/', [\App\Telegram\Controllers\MyController::class, 'index'])
    ->middleware(['telegram.live:30']);

Arguments - is frequency in seconds, how often to update the page.

In file routes/console.php add:

Schedule::command('telegram:live')
    ->runInBackground()
    ->everyMinute();
