Template Code for TOC Project 2017

A telegram bot based on a finite state machine

• Python 3

pip install -r requirements.txt

• pygraphviz (For visualizing Finite State Machine)
  • Setup pygraphviz on Ubuntu

API_TOKEN and WEBHOOK_URL in app.py MUST be set to proper values. Otherwise, you might not be able to run your code.

You can either setup https server or using ngrok as a proxy.

ngrok would be used in the following instruction

ngrok http 5000

After that, ngrok would generate a https URL.

You should set WEBHOOK_URL (in app.py) to your-https-URL/hook.

python3 app.py

The initial state is set to user.

Every time user state is triggered to advance to another state, it will go_back to user state after the bot replies corresponding message.

  • Input: "go to state1"

    • Reply: "I'm entering state1"

  • Input: "go to state2"

    • Reply: "I'm entering state2"
