Bizarro

======================================= Bizarro is a python library for Facebook Messenger Bot. It's basic task is to help developers creating payloads for Facebook Messenger Bot. Facebook has different templates and buttons for their Messenger Platform. However, it's extremely tedious to write the payload every time. Bizarro here can help you to write awesome bot without worrying about the payload. All you need to do is send the necessary text inputs and bizarro's function will return the appropriate payload for you. Bizarro takes help of one of my other python package - Zathura, (A sqlite3 logger I wrote for one of my package). Currently, the library is in alpha version.

How to Install

It's a pypi package (https://pypi.org/project/bizarro/). So

pip install bizarro

How to work with bizarro

Suppose you want to send user a simple "Hello"

echo_text = bizarro_utility().basic_text_reply_payload(fb_user_id, message="Hello")

now all you have to do is, send the payload echo_text with your page_access_token. Code examples are coming soon.
