Here you can find template for tiny Rails application with Telegram bot. The repository itself is generated with this template.

What do you get:

• telegram-bot.
• RSpec for tests.
• Pry for debug.
• Simple bot controller.

This is just a template bot and it doesn't have much commands to show. For more complex example see telegram_bot_app.

For non-Rails app here is another example.

Here is a command to generate smallest possible installation of rails. Choose yourself what railties to enable:

rails new app_name \
  --api \
  --skip-action-mailer \
  --skip-active-record \
  --skip-action-cable \
  --skip-test \
  -m https://raw.githubusercontent.com/telegram-bot-rb/rails_template/master/rails_template.rb

• Add this lines to bin/setup:

  puts "\n== Copying sample files =="
  system 'bin/copy_samples'

• Setup bot config in config/secrets.yml.

• Uncomment this line in spec/rails_helper.rb:

  Dir[Rails.root.join('spec/support/**/*.rb')].each { |f| require f }

• Optional. Uncomment default configuration in spec/spec_helper.rb.

• Optional. If you don't use ActiveRecord, you may want to remove config/database.yml line from bin/copy_samples and .gitignore.

bin/rails telegram:bot:poller

• Edit capistrano config.
• Make sure to add config/secrets.yml (and config/database.yml if exists) to shared folder on servers.
