Handling Updates
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Calling :doc:`API methods <invoking>` sequentially is cool, but how to react when, for example, a new message arrives?
|
|
This page deals with updates and how to handle such events in Pyrogram. Let's have a look at how they work.

Defining Updates
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
First, let's define what are these updates. As hinted already, updates are simply events that happen in your Telegram
|
|
account (incoming messages, new members join, bot button presses, etc...), which are meant to notify you about a new
|
|
specific state that has changed. These updates are handled by registering one or more callback functions in your app
|
|
using :doc:`Handlers <../api/handlers>`.
|
|
|
|
Each handler deals with a specific event and once a matching update arrives from Telegram, your registered callback
|
|
function will be called back by the framework and its body executed.
|
|
|
|
Registering a Handler
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
To explain how handlers work let's examine the one which will be in charge for handling :class:`~pyrogram.types.Message`
|
|
updates coming from all around your chats. Every other kind of handler shares the same setup logic and you should not
|
|
have troubles settings them up once you learn from this section.
|
|
|
|
Using Decorators
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The most elegant way to register a message handler is by using the :meth:`~pyrogram.Client.on_message` decorator:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from pyrogram import Client
|
|
|
|
app = Client("my_account")
|
|
|
|
|
|
@app.on_message()
|
|
def my_handler(client, message):
|
|
message.forward("me")
|
|
|
|
|
|
app.run()
|
|
|
|
The defined function ``my_handler``, which accepts the two arguments *(client, message)*, will be the function that gets
|
|
executed every time a new message arrives.
|
|
|
|
Asynchronous handlers
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
You can also have asynchronous handlers; you only need to define the callback function using ``async def`` and call API
|
|
methods by placing ``await`` in front of them:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
@app.on_message()
|
|
async def my_handler(client, message):
|
|
await message.forward("me")
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
You can mix ``def`` and ``async def`` handlers as much as you need, Pyrogram will still work concurrently and
|
|
efficiently regardless of what you choose.
|
|
|
|
Using add_handler()
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The :meth:`~pyrogram.Client.add_handler` method takes any handler instance that wraps around your defined callback
|
|
function and registers it in your Client. It is useful in case you want to programmatically add handlers (or in case,
|
|
for some reason, you don't like to use decorators).
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from pyrogram import Client
|
|
from pyrogram.handlers import MessageHandler
|
|
|
|
|
|
def my_function(client, message):
|
|
message.forward("me")
|
|
|
|
|
|
app = Client("my_account")
|
|
|
|
my_handler = MessageHandler(my_function)
|
|
app.add_handler(my_handler)
|
|
|
|
app.run()
|
|
|
|
The same about asynchronous handlers applies for :meth:`~pyrogram.Client.add_handler`:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
async def my_function(client, message):
|
|
await message.forward("me")
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
From now on, you'll see examples using synchronous code (i.e.: without ``async`` and ``await``, unless when actually
|
|
relevant). This is done to keep snippets concise and more readable. Once you get the idea behind a feature, you can
|
|
easily turn examples asynchronous later on.
