Easy to use library for building Telegram bots in Haskell.

This library was featured in a LambdaConf 2018 workshop. The supplementary materials for the workshop is available at https://github.com/fizruk/lambdaconf-2018-workshop.

See bot examples here: https://github.com/fizruk/telegram-bot-simple/tree/master/telegram-bot-simple/examples

Use cabal build all -fexamples to build it. If you are building with stack then use stack build --flag telegram-bot-simple:examples.

Contributions are welcome! Feel free to ping me on GitHub, file an issue or submit a PR :)

For local development you can use following command:

cabal repl -fexamples <target> -O0

where <target> could be telegram-bot-simple or telegram-bot-api

You can use a Nix flake from this repo to get several development tools.

1. Enable flakes.

2. Run nix develop. This command will make available cabal, ghc, and haskell-language-server.

3. Run cabal run example-echo-bot to start a bot.
