Core: How to make buttons like these?

[deios0]

Hi! I wondered how can I make buttons like these with your SDK?

Thank you for your help!

[noplanman]

Hi @deios0, would you mind sharing where you get those? Is it a bot you're using?
I've never seen them like that, but they look cool 😃

Clicking them dynamically changes the chart I assume?

It's Bots 2.0 feature:

use Longman\TelegramBot\Entities\InlineKeyboardMarkup;

(...)

$inline_keyboard[] = [
    [
        'text' => "inline",
        'switch_inline_query' => ''
    ],
    [
        'text' => "callback",
        'callback_data' => ''
    ]
];
$inline_keyboard[] = [
    [
        'text' => 'open url',
        'url' => ''
    ]
];

$data['reply_markup'] = new InlineKeyboardMarkup(
    [
        'inline_keyboard' => $inline_keyboard
    ]
);

My bot uses those.

Pick the code from develop there is a fix for the inline keyboard
let me know

[deios0]

Used jackul version and it works for me.

[MBoretto]

$inline_keyboard = [
    new InlineKeyboardButton(['text' => 'inline', 'switch_inline_query' => 'true']),
    new InlineKeyboardButton(['text' => 'callback', 'callback_data' => 'identifier']),
    new InlineKeyboardButton(['text' => 'open url', 'url' => 'https://github.com/akalongman/php-telegram-bot']),
];
$data = [
    'chat_id' => $chat_id,
    'text'    => 'inline keyboard',
    'reply_markup' => new InlineKeyboardMarkup(['inline_keyboard' => [$inline_keyboard]]),
];

In the latest version work with this code instead of the above

[deios0]

Thank you, works.

@MBoretto Looking at the code required to create a keyboard, I feel there should be a way to simplify it all by making some kind of helper layer (which was the idea of the Keyboard etc. classes).

All those boxed arrays are quite confusing to me (maybe it's just me!).

What do you think, shall we open an issue for a "Keyboard Wizard" 😃

[jacklul]

Alternatively some kind of Helpers folder could be made containing classes that simplify some procedures like creating keyboards and inline keyboards.

[noplanman]

@jacklul Yes, I totally agree!

Added to that, we'd have a helper for the conversations, to simplify the setup of the survey.
(Will make a new issue about this when I've thought about it a bit more)

[MBoretto]

Would be nice, I agree only if those tool would not limit possibility

[noplanman]

@MBoretto In the contrary! We'd try to make them even more flexible and easy to use 😃
From a user view, I think it would help a lot so that more energy can be put into the actual command functionality, not trying to get the individual features (keyboard, conversation, etc.) to work properly.

I think we'll leave this conversation here as it is and continue the discussion on a new issue, ok?

[MBoretto]

Ok also because i didn't understand exactly what you mean!
