I will update it to a cutting edge after the runtime package 1.0 release.

Telegram bot template

It's a ready-to-use application template meant to boost creation of a new Telegram bot for you. All you need to start is to write your app logic, everything other is in the template.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Your Telegram bot is created via @BotFather, and you know its token
• The latest version of docker is installed and running
• Port 3306 for MySQL on your computer is opened (you can configure any other port of your choice in the .env file, it's just the default value)

Installing

1. git clone git@github.com:viktorprogger/bot-template.git
2. Create .env file in the project root and set there your bot token to the key BOT_TOKEN like this: BOT_TOKEN=12345:abcdef. See .env.example to get list of all available environment variables
3. Run docker compose build php
4. Run docker compose --profile console-tools run --rm --no-deps php composer i
5. Run docker compose --profile console-tools run --rm --no-deps php vendor/bin/rr get
6. Run docker compose --profile main up -d
7. Type /start to your bot in Telegram, and you'll get an answer in half a minute (app asks for the getUpdates every 30 seconds)

Available docker-compose profiles

This repo uses docker-compose profiles mechanism to get only needed services working

• console-tools - starts php service only, without DB, AMQP and other services. Useful to run composer, psalm and other console tools.
• main - get your application up and running. It starts php, db and amqp services.
• full - get working Loki, Grafana and Promtail for convenient logs reading. This app produces tons of logs, so these services will be useful to get in what's happening inside your app.

To get everything down regardless of a set of running services, run docker compose down --remove-orphans

Components

DBAL

This app uses yiisoft/yii-cycle as DBAL. In dev mode it automatically syncs your DB schema with your code, see \Cycle\Schema\Generator\SyncTables class.
