This package can build a bot that can interact with Telegram users.

It can send Web requests to the Web server of the Telegram API to perform several types of operations that developers can use to implement a Telegram bot.

Currently, it can:

- Send generic Telegram API requests

- Define text patterns that the bot will be able to detect to trigger specific response messages

- Define keyboard buttons that can appear to respond to specific telegram messages that the users can send

- Log chatbot messages

Telegram is a well-known chat application that provides an API to build powerful bot applications. Those bot applications can interact with users automatically.

Some Telegram features allow users to answer questions using buttons or typing text using only specific keyboard characters.

This package takes advantage of the Telegram features to implement more user-friendly chatbot applications written in PHP quickly.
