from pymes.adapter.django import MessengerView

class BotView(MessengerView):
    verify_token = "YOUR_VERIFY_TOKEN"
    app_id = "YOUR_PAGE_ID" # Optional verification

    def handle_message(self, metadata):
        sender_id = metadata['sender_id']
        message = metadata['payload']
        print(f"Message from {sender_id}: {message}")

    # handle any event defining a method with the event name like handle_{event name}

urlpatterns = [
