telebot-inline-pagination 1.2.0

Pageable inline keyboard for pyTelegramBotAPI (telebot)

Pageable inline keyboard for pyTelegramBotAPI (telebot)

A library for pyTelegramBotAPI that allows you to display data in the format of a pageable inline keyboard.

Installation

You can use pip to install this library.

pip install telebot-inline-pagination

Usage

Step 1. Import necessary libraries and connect Telegram token

from telebot import TeleBot

bot = TeleBot('TOKEN', parse_mode=None) # Use your Telegram token

from telebot.types import CallbackQuery
from telebot_inline_pagination import Keyboard

Step 2. Define the parameters

Required parameters

data: Dataset in "list of tuples" format, without headers: [(a1, b1), (a2, b2), (a3, b3)].

text_message: Message displayed above the keyboard.

data = [
            ('Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport', 'ATL/KATL', 'Atlanta, Georgia, United States'),
            ("O'Hare International Airport", 'ORD/KORD', 'Chicago, Illinois, United States'),
            ('Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport', 'DFW/KDFW', 'Coppell, Euless, Grapevine, and Irving, Texas, United States'),
            ('Denver International Airport', 'DEN/KDEN', 'Denver, Colorado, United States'),
            ('Charlotte Douglas International Airport', 'CLT/KCLT', 'Charlotte, North Carolina, United States'),
            ('Los Angeles International Airport', 'LAX/KLAX', 'Los Angeles, California, United States'),
            ('Harry Reid International Airport', 'LAS/KLAS', 'Paradise, Nevada, United States'),
            ('Phoenix International Airport', 'PHX/KPHX', 'Phoenix, Arizona, United States'),
            ('Miami International Airport', 'MIA/KMIA', 'Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States'),
            ('George Bush Intercontinental Airport', 'IAH/KIAH', 'Houston, Texas, United States')
        ]

text_message = 'Demo'        

Optional parameters

row_width: The number of buttons per row (from 1 to 3, by default - 1).

rows_per_page: The number of rows of buttons on one page, excluding the navigation bar (by default - 5).

text_index: Column index - data source for button titles (by default - 0).

callback_index: Column index - data source for callback-function (by default - 0).

button_text_mode: The number of the mode responsible for the format of the displayed text on the buttons:

• 0 or None (by default) - The button displays data and has callback data from the column index 0
• 1 - The button displays only data from the text_index column
• 2 - The button displays data from the text_index column, and in brackets - data from the callback_index column
• 3 - The button displays data from the callback_index column, and in brackets - data from the text_index column

next_page: Content of the button to go to the next page (by default - '--->').

previous_index: Content of the button to go to the previous page (by default - '<---').

TEXT_INDEX = 0 # in this example, full airport name
CALLBACK_INDEX = 1 # in this example, IATA/ICAO airport code
BUTTON_TEXT_MODE = 2 # in this example, "full airport name (IATA/ICAO airport code)"
ROW_WIDTH = 1
ROWS_PER_PAGE = 3
NEXT_PAGE = '>'
PREVIOUS_PAGE = '<'

Step 3. Creating the pageable keyboard instance

The standard pageable keyboard instance looks like this:

Keyboard(chat_id=message.chat.id, data=data, row_width=ROW_WIDTH, rows_per_page=ROWS_PER_PAGE, button_text_mode=BUTTON_TEXT_MODE, text_index=TEXT_INDEX, callback_index=CALLBACK_INDEX, next_page=NEXT_PAGE, previous_page=PREVIOUS_PAGE)

In this example, the instance is written to the variable keyboards to ensure multithreading:

keyboards = []

...

    json = {"id": message.chat.id, "object": Keyboard(chat_id=message.chat.id, data=data, row_width=ROW_WIDTH, rows_per_page=rows_per_page, button_text_mode=button_text_mode, text_index=text_index, callback_index=callback_index)}
    keyboards.append(json)

Step 4. Creating the message handler for pageable keyboard

The standard message handler for pageable keyboard looks like this:

bot.send_message(message.from_user.id, text_message, reply_markup=Keyboard.send_keyboard())

In this example, the keyboard calls using the /start command. Also, first, when using the /start command, all previously created instances are deleted. Second, a new instance is added to the message handler.

@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def demo_pagination(message):
    for i, j in enumerate(keyboards):
        if j["id"] == message.chat.id:
            del keyboards[i]    
    json = {"id": message.chat.id, "object": Keyboard(chat_id=message.chat.id, data=data, row_width=ROW_WIDTH, rows_per_page=ROWS_PER_PAGE, button_text_mode=BUTTON_TEXT_MODE, text_index=TEXT_INDEX, callback_index=CALLBACK_INDEX, next_page=NEXT_PAGE, previous_page=PREVIOUS_PAGE)}
    keyboards.append(json)
    for i in keyboards:
        if i["id"] == message.chat.id:
            bot.send_message(message.from_user.id, text_message, reply_markup=i["object"].send_keyboard())

Step 5. Creating the callback query handler for pageable keyboard

The standard callback query handler for pageable keyboard looks like this:

bot.edit_message_text(text_message, reply_markup = Keyboard.edit_keyboard(call), chat_id = call.message.chat.id, message_id = call.message.message_id)

In this example, we use the current chat id to find the required instance in the keyboards list and launch the callback query handler. Also, we use the send_message command to receive a message with information when the result button is clicked.

@bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: True)
def demo_pagination_handler(call: CallbackQuery):
    if call.data in ('previous_page', 'next_page'):
        for i in keyboards:
            if i["id"] == call.message.chat.id:
                bot.edit_message_text(text_message, reply_markup = i["object"].edit_keyboard(call), chat_id = call.message.chat.id, message_id = call.message.message_id)
    for i in data:
        if call.data == i[CALLBACK_INDEX]:
            bot.send_message(
                        call.message.chat.id,
                        'Airport: ' + i[0] + ' (' + i[1] + ')' + '\n' +
                        'Address: ' + i[2]
                        )

Full example

In this example, the code implements multithreading: the bot can be used by several people at the same time without interfering with each other.

from telebot import TeleBot

bot = TeleBot('TOKEN', parse_mode=None) # Use your Telegram token

from telebot.types import CallbackQuery
from telebot_inline_pagination import Keyboard

data = [
            ('Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport', 'ATL/KATL', 'Atlanta, Georgia, United States'),
            ("O'Hare International Airport", 'ORD/KORD', 'Chicago, Illinois, United States'),
            ('Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport', 'DFW/KDFW', 'Coppell, Euless, Grapevine, and Irving, Texas, United States'),
            ('Denver International Airport', 'DEN/KDEN', 'Denver, Colorado, United States'),
            ('Charlotte Douglas International Airport', 'CLT/KCLT', 'Charlotte, North Carolina, United States'),
            ('Los Angeles International Airport', 'LAX/KLAX', 'Los Angeles, California, United States'),
            ('Harry Reid International Airport', 'LAS/KLAS', 'Paradise, Nevada, United States'),
            ('Phoenix International Airport', 'PHX/KPHX', 'Phoenix, Arizona, United States'),
            ('Miami International Airport', 'MIA/KMIA', 'Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States'),
            ('George Bush Intercontinental Airport', 'IAH/KIAH', 'Houston, Texas, United States')
        ]

text_message = 'Demo'

BUTTON_TEXT_MODE = 2
TEXT_INDEX = 0
CALLBACK_INDEX = 1
ROW_WIDTH = 1
ROWS_PER_PAGE = 3
NEXT_PAGE = '>'
PREVIOUS_PAGE = '<'

keyboards = []

@bot.message_handler(commands=['start'])
def demo_pagination(message):
    for i, j in enumerate(keyboards):
        if j["id"] == message.chat.id:
            del keyboards[i]
    json = {"id": message.chat.id, "object": Keyboard(chat_id=message.chat.id, data=data, row_width=ROW_WIDTH, rows_per_page=ROWS_PER_PAGE, button_text_mode=BUTTON_TEXT_MODE, text_index=TEXT_INDEX, callback_index=CALLBACK_INDEX, next_page=NEXT_PAGE, previous_page=PREVIOUS_PAGE)}
    keyboards.append(json)
    for i in keyboards:
        if i["id"] == message.chat.id:
            bot.send_message(message.from_user.id, text_message, reply_markup=i["object"].send_keyboard())

@bot.callback_query_handler(func=lambda call: True)
def demo_pagination_handler(call: CallbackQuery):
    if call.data in ('previous_page', 'next_page'):
        for i in keyboards:
            if i["id"] == call.message.chat.id:
                bot.edit_message_text(text_message, reply_markup = i["object"].edit_keyboard(call), chat_id = call.message.chat.id, message_id = call.message.message_id)
    for i in data:
        if call.data == i[CALLBACK_INDEX]:
            bot.send_message(
                        call.message.chat.id,
                        'Airport: ' + i[0] + ' (' + i[1] + ')' + '\n' +
                        'Address: ' + i[2]
                        )

bot.infinity_polling()
