About

Ampalibe is a word of Malagasy 🇲🇬 origin designating the fruit jackfruit.

We have made a promise to

• keep it light
• make it easy to use
• do it quickly to develop

Why use Ampalibe ?

• No need to manage weebhooks and data: messages are received directly in a main function

import ampalibe
from conf import Configuration

bot = ampalibe.init(Configuration())
chat = bot.chat

@ampalibe.command('/')
def main(sender_id, cmd, **extends):
    chat.send_message(sender_id, 'Hello world')
    chat.send_message(sender_id, f'This is your message: {cmd}')
    chat.send_message(sender_id, f'and this is your facebook id: {sender_id}')

---

• Manages the actions expected by the users: define the function of the next treatment

import ampalibe
from conf import Configuration

bot = ampalibe.init(Configuration())
chat = bot.chat
query = bot.query

@ampalibe.command('/')
def main(sender_id, cmd, **extends):
    chat.send_message(sender_id, 'Enter your name')
    query.set_action(sender_id, '/get_name')
    
@ampalibe.action('/get_name')
def get_name(sender_id, cmd, **extends):
    query.set_action(sender_id, None)  #  clear current action
    chat.send_message(sender_id, f'Hello {cmd}')

---

• Manage temporary data: set, get, and delete

import ampalibe
from conf import Configuration

bot = ampalibe.init(Configuration())
chat = bot.chat
query = bot.query

@ampalibe.command('/')
def main(sender_id, cmd, **extends):
    chat.send_message(sender_id, 'Enter your mail')
    query.set_action(sender_id, '/get_mail')
    
@ampalibe.action('/get_mail')
def get_mail(sender_id, cmd, **extends):
    # save the mail in temporary data
    query.set_temp(sender_id, 'mail', cmd)

    chat.send_message(sender_id, f'Enter your password')
    query.set_action(sender_id, '/get_password')


@ampalibe.action('/get_password')
def get_password(sender_id, cmd, **extends):
    query.set_action(sender_id, None)  # clear current action
    mail = query.get_temp(sender_id, 'mail')  # get mail in temporary data

    chat.send_message(sender_id, f'your mail and your password are {mail} {cmd}')
    query.del_temp(sender_id, 'mail')  # delete temporary data

---

• Manage Payload: send data with Payload object and get it in destination function's parameter

import ampalibe
from ampalibe import Payload
from conf import Configuration

bot = ampalibe.init(Configuration())
chat = bot.chat


@ampalibe.command('/')
def main(sender_id, cmd, **extends):
    quick_rep = [
        {
            "content_type": "text",
            "title": 'Angela',
            "payload": Payload('/membre', name='Angela', ref='2016-sac')
        },
        {
            "content_type": "text",
            "title": 'Rivo',
            "payload": Payload('/membre', name='Rivo')
        }
    ]
    chat.send_quick_reply(sender_id, quick_rep, 'Who?')
    

@ampalibe.command('/membre')
def get_membre(sender_id, cmd, name, **extends):
    chat.send_message(sender_id, "Hello " + name)

    # if the arg is not defined in the list of parameters,
    # it is put in the extends variable
    if extends.get('ref'):
        chat.send_message(sender_id, 'your ref is ' + extends.get('ref'))

---

• No need to manage the length of the items to send: A next page button will be displayed directly

 import ampalibe
 from ampalibe import Payload
 from conf import Configuration

 bot = ampalibe.init(Configuration())
 chat = bot.chat

 @ampalibe.command('/')
 def main(sender_id, cmd, **extends):
     list_items = [
         {
             "title": f"item n°{i+1}",
             "image_url": "https://i.imgflip.com/6b45bi.jpg",
             "buttons": [
                 {
                     "type": "postback",
                     "title": "Get item",
                     "payload": Payload("/item", id_item=i+1)
                 }
             ]
         }
         for i in range(30)
     ]
     # next=True for displaying directly next page button.
     chat.send_template(sender_id, list_items, next=True)

 @ampalibe.command('/item')
 def get_item(sender_id, id_item, **extends):
     chat.send_message(sender_id, f"item n°{id_item} selected")
