How do I create a bot?

Usage

You can use Telegram::Bot::Api standalone

$api = new \Telegram\Bot\Api('BOT TOKEN');
$user = $api->getMe();

Or by using CommandsHandler to receive updates from Telegram

Create command class

<?php

use Telegram\Bot\Command;

class StartCommand extends Command {
    /**
     * @var string Command Name
     */
    protected $name = "start";

    /**
     * @var string Command Description
     */
    protected $description = "Start Command to get you started";

    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function handle() {
        // This will send a message using `sendMessage`
        $this->replyWithMessage(['text' => 'Welcome to my Bot']);
        
        // Trigger another command dynamically from within this command
        $this->triggerCommand('help');
    }
}

In your controller add

<?php
       
$handler = new CommandsHandler('BOT TOKEN');
$handler->addCommand(StartCommand::class);
$handler->handle();

Send Photo

$api = new \Telegram\Bot\Api('BOT TOKEN');
