Telegram Bot Bundle

A Symfony bundle for integrating a framework-agnostic Telegram Bot library. Designed for Symfony 7.4 and 8.x, it enables robust, multi-bot support with flexible provider architecture.

Features

• Seamless integration of a framework-agnostic Telegram Bot library into Symfony
• Supports multiple bots and providers via CompositeBotProvider
• Built-in StaticBotProvider for configuration-based bot definition
• Custom provider support (e.g., database-backed)
• Symfony HttpClient (PSR-18) and nyholm/psr7 (PSR-17) integration
• Webhook controller for Telegram updates
• Automatic handler registration via Symfony service tags
• Symfony 7.4 and 8.x compatibility
• Requires PHP 8.4+

Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require aymericcucherousset/telegram-bot-bundle

Configuration Example

Create config/packages/telegram_bot.yaml:

telegram_bot:
    bots:
        main:
            token: '%env(TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN)%'

Create config/routes/telegram_bot_bundle.yaml:

telegram_bot_bundle:
    resource: '@TelegramBotBundle/config/routes.php'

Defining Static Bots

Static bots are defined directly in the configuration file:

# config/packages/telegram_bot.yaml

telegram_bot:
    bots:
        main:
            token: '%env(TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN)%'

Creating a Custom DatabaseBotProvider

Implement the BotProviderInterface to fetch bot credentials from a database:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Telegram;

use App\Repository\TelegramBotRepository;
use Aymericcucherousset\TelegramBotBundle\Bot\BotProviderInterface;

final class DatabaseBotProvider implements BotProviderInterface
{
    public function __construct(
        private TelegramBotRepository $repository,
    ) {}

    public function supports(string $name): bool
    {
        return null !== $this->repository->findOneBy([
            'name' => $name,
        ]);
    }

    public function getToken(string $name): string
    {
        $bot = $this->repository->findOneBy([
            'name' => $name,
        ]);

        if (!$bot) {
            throw new \RuntimeException(sprintf('Bot "%s" not found.', $name));
        }

        return $bot->getToken();
    }
}

Creating a Handler

Handlers are auto-registered via service tags. Example handler:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Telegram\Command;

use Aymericcucherousset\TelegramBot\Attribute\AsTelegramCommand;
use Aymericcucherousset\TelegramBot\Handler\HandlerInterface;
use Aymericcucherousset\TelegramBot\Method\Message\TextMessage;
use Aymericcucherousset\TelegramBot\Update\Update;

#[AsTelegramCommand(name: 'ping', description: 'Replies with pong')]
final class PingCommand implements HandlerInterface
{
    public function handle(Update $update): void
    {
        $message = $update->message;

        if ($message === null) {
            return;
        }

        $textMessage = new TextMessage(
            chatId: $message->chatId,
            text: 'pong 🏓',
        );

        $update->bot->getClient()->send($textMessage);
    }
}

Webhook Configuration Example

Define a route for the webhook controller:

Create config/routes/telegram_bot_bundle.yaml:

telegram_bot_bundle:
    resource: '@TelegramBotBundle/config/routes.php'

Use Telegram Bot in Services

    public function __construct(
        // Inject Bot Manager
        private readonly BotManager $botManager,
    ) {
    }

    public function yourMethod(): void
    {
        // Create your Telegram Method
        $method = new TextMessage(
            text: 'Hello world!',
            chatId: new ChatId(1111111111),
        );

        // Then send the Telegram Method from the bot
        $this->botManager->getClient('main')->send($method);
    }

Architecture Overview

• Bot Providers: Abstracted via BotProviderInterface. Use built-in StaticBotProvider or implement custom providers (e.g., database, API).
• CompositeBotProvider: Aggregates multiple providers for multi-bot support.
• Handlers: Auto-registered via service tags, process Telegram updates.
• Webhook Controller: Receives Telegram webhook updates and dispatches to handlers.
• PSR-18/PSR-17: Uses Symfony HttpClient and nyholm/psr7 for HTTP and message interoperability.

Advanced Usage: Multi-Provider Support

The bundle supports multiple bot providers. Register several providers (static, database, API, etc.) as services tagged with telegram_bot.provider. The CompositeBotProvider aggregates all bots, enabling scalable, multi-bot architectures.
