Description

SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.ArgedInteractions is an extension project built upon the SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.Core Framework. Its primary objective is to provide a structured and efficient mechanism for the serialization and deserialization of textual data to facilitate the creation of specialized actions that support arguments.

SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.ArgedInteractions is a project that enhances the capabilities of the SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.Core Framework by introducing essential methods for handling text-based data. The project focuses on organizing the serialization and deserialization processes, which are crucial for implementing actions with argument support in Telegram bots.

Key Features:

1. Textual Data Serialization:

   The project offers robust methods to convert textual data into a serializable format. These methods ensure that the text-based information can be efficiently transmitted and utilized within the Telegram bot ecosystem.

2. Textual Data Deserialization:

   SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.ArgedInteractions includes advanced techniques for deserializing received text-based data. This allows the bot to interpret and extract relevant information from incoming messages and updates, making it possible to handle user input effectively.

3. Specialized Actions with Argument Support:

   The project's core focus lies in empowering developers to create specialized bot actions that can accept arguments. These actions are designed to process textual data with attached arguments, enabling the bot to execute complex and context-sensitive tasks.

4. Seamless Integration:

   SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.ArgedInteractions seamlessly integrates with the existing SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.Core Framework. The project harmoniously leverages the core functionality while providing an additional layer of support for argument-based interactions.

Usage

Registering Custom Serialization Rule

To serialize specific types of data in a Telegram bot, you can register custom serialization rules using the IArgsSerializeService interface. This allows the bot to handle complex data structures effectively.

Here's an example of registering a custom serialization rule for a custom data type:

IArgsSerializeService argsSerializeService = new DefaultArgsSerializeService();
argsSerializeService.AddRule<MyCustomDataType>(input =>
{
    MyCustomDataType customDataInstance;
    // Custom logic to convert the string input into MyCustomDataType
    // ... (implementation details)
    return ConvertResult<MyCustomDataType>.Success(customDataInstance);
});

Creating an Argumented Action (ex. Callback)

You can create specialized bot actions that support arguments using IArgedAction<TArg, TUpdate> classes (BotArgedCommand<TArg>, BotArgedCallback<TArg>, BotArgedTextInput<TArg>). This allows the bot to respond to user interactions with context-specific actions.

Below is an example of creating an argumented callback:

LabeledData labeledData = new LabeledData("This is label", "argedCallbackId");
BotArgedInteraction<MyCustomDataType, SignedCallbackUpdate> customArgAction = async (args, update) =>
{
    // Custom logic to handle the callback with the provided arguments
    // ... (implementation details)
};

// Creating the BotArgedCallback instance
BotArgedCallback<MyCustomDataType> argedCallback = new BotArgedCallback<MyCustomDataType>(labeledData, customArgAction);

And implement it into Telegram.Bot.InlineKeyboardMarkup with:

MyCustomDataType data = new(...);
var callbackData = argedCallback.GetSerializedData(data, argsSerializeService);
_ = InlineKeyboardMarkup.WithCallbackData(argedCallback.Label, callbackData);

You can use SKitLs.Bots.Telegram.AdvancedMessages package to get better messaging experience.
