This bot program handles Eval bot and Crates.io bot.
This is a Telegram bot for simple query of Rust-related stuff, inspired by Playbot NG on IRC.
The official instance of this bot is @rustevalbot.
Interaction with eval bot is done either via commands on Telegram channel that it joins, or by talking directly to it.
All command which recognized by it can be edited. The reply of such command would be updated automatically as well. If the edited command is no longer recognized, the reply from the bot will be removed. (But removing the original command wouldn't remove the reply, because Telegram doesn't send update for such event.)
Eval bot evaluates Rust code for command /eval,
e.g. /eval Vec::<usize>::new().as_ptr().
This is backed by Rust Playground.
By default, the code is wrapped in a template that prints
the result of the expression via its Debug impl.
This behavior can be changed via --bare flag.
There are a few flags that can modify the behavior of the evaluation.
You can select the channel using
--stable (default), --beta, or --nightly.
You can pick the build profile using --debug (default) or --release.
To make the bot evaluate code as is, use --bare.
For convenience, inner attributes and extern crates
at the beginning of code are moved to the beginning of the wrapped code
when --bare is not used.
You can use /help command when talking to it directly to query other
commands available.
All command also support --help flag to display help information.
This is a Telegram bot running under inline mode for helping people find and send details of crates on crates.io.
The official instance of this bot is @cratesiobot.
It can be used everywhere with a message in format @cratesiobot <crate>.
Telegram would should a menu for user to select crate from.
This is a Telegram bot running under inline mode for helping people find and send details of items in Rust official document.
The official instance of this bot is @rustdocbot.
It can be used everywhere with a message in format @rustdocbot <crate>.
Telegram would should a menu for user to select item from.
This replaces the /doc command previously available in the Eval bot.
This bot program uses environment variable for config,
and also recognize .env file in the working directory.
Bot tokens can be specified via:
EVAL_TELEGRAM_TOKEN: the Eval botCRATESIO_TELEGRAM_TOKEN: the Crates.io botRUSTDOC_TELEGRAM_TOKEN: the Rust doc bot
At least one of the tokens must be provided. The bot tokens can be created with @BotFather.
It also requires BOT_ADMIN_ID to be specified as the User ID of admin account.
The bot program will send message to the account when it starts and stops
via the first configured bot in the order of the list above.
If the Eval bot is enabled,
admin would be able to use /shutdown command on that bot to stop the program.
For the User ID, one can get their own User ID via @userinfobot or @JsonDumpBot.
If the Rust doc bot is enabled,
a search-index.js file from Rust doc must be present.
The Eval bot requires write permission to record_list.json
in the current directory in order to persist command information
across reboot for command editing.
This bot listens on upgrade file in the current directory,
and when the file gets written,
the bot will quit itself as if a /shutdown command is sent.
You need to have this file available, otherwise bot would refuse to run.
