  3. Copy the token and create a file named sendMessage.v with the following code:

import dariotarantini.vgram

fn main(){
    bot := vgram.new_bot('TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN_HERE')
    bot.send_message(
        chat_id: "USER_ID_HERE",
        text: 'yo! Made using vgram!'
    )
}

Examples

Documentation

You can find the documentation directly on the Telegram website or you can read it in the vgram source code. See methods.v and types.v.

Call a method using:

bot_instance.method_name(
    method_arg1: "some text"
    method_arg1: 123 // or int
)

- *bot_instance* can be created using bot_instance := vgram.Bot{"TOKEN"} or bot_instance.new_bot("TOKEN")
- *method_name* and *method_args* shoud be in snake_case

Thats it. You are ready to go.
