Installation

1. Create a virtual venv:

   python3 -m venv venv (or with pyenv)

2. Install dependencies :

   pip install -r requirements.txt.

3. Configure your AWS crendetials in ~/.aws/credentials

   https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/v1/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html

4. You can now run your webhook application with:

   make local

Setting a telegram bot

1. Create your Telegram bot(s) and obtain your API tokens.

   https://core.telegram.org/bots#how-do-i-create-a-bot

2. Set up your Chalice environment variable such as :

      "environment_variables":{
            "myfirstbot": "bot_api_token_1",
            "mysecondbot": "bot_api_token_2"
         }
   

   https://aws.github.io/chalice/topics/configfile#environment-variables

3. In the folder chalicelib/bots, create a python file named as you telegrambot (Ex : myfirstbot.py)

4. Each bot should be implemented as a separate Python module with a class named Bot.

   Such as :

   def get_meteo(message: Message):
       return obtenir_meteo_ville(message.input["text"])
   
   COMMANDS = [Command("meteo", get_meteo)]
   
   class Bot(BotInterface):
   
       def __init__(self):
           bot_id = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(__file__))[0]
           super().__init__(bot_id, COMMANDS)
