Getting Started

You can start building your first app with SwiBots in less than 5 minutes.

Installation

To install SwiBots, you can use pip:

pip install swibots

Usage Example

Let's create a simple echo bot to get you started quickly. Follow these steps:

1. Create a Python file, e.g., echobot.py.

2. Add the following code to your echobot.py file:

from swibots import (
    Client,
    BotContext,
    MessageEvent
)

TOKEN = "MY SUPER SECRET TOKEN"

# Initialize the app and register commands
app = Client(TOKEN)

@app.on_message()
async def message_handler(ctx: BotContext[MessageEvent]):
    # Easy way to prepare a message that is a response to an incoming message
    message = ctx.event.message
    response_text = f"Thank you! I received your message: {message.message}"
    # Send the message back to the user
    await message.respond(response_text)

app.run()

3. Open your Switch app and send a message to the bot, e.g., Hello world!

4. Your bot will reply with: Thank you! I received your message: Hello world!

Examples

Sending Buttons

You can easily send interactive buttons in your messages using SwiBots:

from swibots import InlineMarkup, InlineKeyboardButton

await bot.send_message(
    message="Hi",
    user_id=bot.user.id,
    inline_markup=InlineMarkup([[
        InlineKeyboardButton("Click Me", url="https://example.com")
    ]])
)

Sending Media

Sending media files with your messages is a breeze:

await bot.send_media(
    message="This is a message",
    user_id=100,
    document="file.pdf",
    description="file_name.png",
    thumb="file.png"
)

Sending Embedded Messages

You can create visually appealing embedded messages with SwiBots:

from swibots import EmbeddedMedia, EmbedInlineField

await bot.send_message(
    message="Embedded message",
    user_id=400,
    media=EmbeddedMedia(
        thumbnail="thumb_path.png",
        title="Embedded message.",
        header_name="Message from SwiBots!",
        header_icon="https://header.png",
        footer_title="Hello from the bot.",
        footer_icon="https://footer.png",
        inline_fields=[
            [
                EmbedInlineField("https://icon.png", "Nice Meeting You", "Hello 👋")
            ]
        ]
    )
)

Editing Media

# send media/document
message = await bot.send_document(
    document="file.pdf",
    thumb="image.png",
    user_id=100
)
# use the message reference to edit
await message.edit_media(
    document="file2.pdf",
    thumb="thumb.png"
)

Handling Keyboard Callbacks

from swibots import CallbackQueryEvent, BotContext
from swibots import regexp, InlineMarkup, InlineKeyboardButton

# send message with callback button
await bot.send_message("Hi", user_id=0, inline_markup=InlineMarkup([[
    InlineKeyboardButton("Callback Button", callback_data="clb")
]]))

# register callback query handler with data
@bot.on_callback_query(regexp("clb$"))
async def onCallback(ctx: BotContext[CallbackQueryEvent]):
    # display callback answer to user
    await ctx.event.answer(
        "Hello, this is a callback answer",
        show_alert=True
    )

Send UI Based Callbacks

from swibots import CallbackQueryEvent, BotContext
from swibots import AppPage, AppBar, Dropdown, ListItem

# handle callback query
@app.on_callback_query()
async def onCallback(ctx: BotContext[CallbackQueryEvent]):
    # create a callback component
    await ctx.event.answer(
        callback=AppPage(
            app_bar=AppBar(title="Hello from Swibots"),
            components=[
                Dropdown(
                    placeholder="Choose Option",
                    options=[
                        ListItem("1. Orange", callback_data="option1"),
                        ListItem("2. Yellow", callback_data="option2"),
                        ListItem("3. Green", callback_data="option3"),
                        ListItem("4. Green", callback_data="option4"),
                    ],
                )
            ],
        )
    )
