Firstly, we want to make the buttons smaller, and secondly, arrange them horizontally. +Why are they so big in the first place? The thing is, by default, +the "button" keyboard should take up as much space on smartphones as the regular letter keyboard. +To reduce the size of the buttons, you need to specify an additional parameter `resize_keyboard=True` to the keyboard object. +But how do you replace vertical buttons with horizontal ones? +From the perspective of the Bot API, a keyboard is an [array of arrays](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#replykeyboardmarkup) of buttons, +or to put it simply, an array of rows. Let's rewrite our code to make it look nice, +and for added emphasis, we'll add the `input_field_placeholder` parameter, +which will replace the text in the empty input field when the regular keyboard is active: + +```python +@dp.message(Command("start")) +async def cmd_start(message: types.Message): + kb = [ + [ + types.KeyboardButton(text="With mashed potatoes"), + types.KeyboardButton(text="Without mashed potatoes") + ], + ] + keyboard = types.ReplyKeyboardMarkup( + keyboard=kb, + resize_keyboard=True, + input_field_placeholder="Choose a serving method" + ) + await message.answer( + "How should the cutlets be served?", + reply_markup=keyboard + ) +``` + +Looking at it now — it indeed looks nice: + +![Buttons in one row](../images/en/buttons/l03_3.png) + +All that's left is to teach the bot to respond to pressing such buttons. +As mentioned earlier, you need to check for an exact text match. +We'll do this using the _magic filter_ `F`, which we'll discuss in [another chapter](filters-and-middlewares.md#magic-filters): + +```python +# new import! +from aiogram import F + +@dp.message(F.text.lower() == "with mashed potatoes") +async def with_puree(message: types.Message): + await message.reply("Excellent choice!") + +@dp.message(F.text.lower() == "without mashed potatoes") +async def without_puree(message: types.Message): + await message.reply("That's not tasty!") +``` + +![Button press reaction](../images/en/buttons/l03_4.png) + +To remove the buttons, you need to send a new message with a special "removing" keyboard of type `ReplyKeyboardRemove`. +For example: `await message.reply("Excellent choice!", reply_markup=types.ReplyKeyboardRemove())` + +### Keyboard Builder {: id="reply-builder" } + +For more dynamic button generation, you can use a keyboard builder. The following methods will be useful: + +- `add()` — adds a button to the builder's memory; +- `adjust(int1, int2, int3...)` — arranges rows with `int1, int2, int3...` buttons; +- `as_markup()` — returns the ready keyboard object; +- `button()` — adds a button with specified parameters, automatically determining the button type (Reply or Inline). + +Let's create a numbered keyboard of size 4×4: + +```python +# new import! +from aiogram.utils.keyboard import ReplyKeyboardBuilder + +@dp.message(Command("reply_builder")) +async def reply_builder(message: types.Message): + builder = ReplyKeyboardBuilder() + for i in range(1, 17): + builder.add(types.KeyboardButton(text=str(i))) + builder.adjust(4) + await message.answer( + "Choose a number:", + reply_markup=builder.as_markup(resize_keyboard=True), + ) +``` + +![Result of the button builder](../images/en/buttons/reply_builder.png) + +!!! info "" + The [ReplyKeyboardMarkup](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#replykeyboardmarkup) object also has two useful options: + `one_time_keyboard` for automatically hiding the keyboard after a button is pressed, + and `selective` for displaying the keyboard only to certain members of a group. + Their usage is left for self-study. + +### Special Regular Buttons {: id="reply-special" } + +As of the writing of this chapter, +Telegram supports six special types of regular buttons that are not just regular message templates. +They are designed for: + +- Sending the current location; +- Sending the user's contact with a phone number; +- Creating a poll/quiz; +- Selecting and sending user data to the bot based on specified criteria; +- Selecting and sending (super)group or channel data to the bot based on specified criteria; +- Launching a WebApp. + +Let's discuss them in more detail. + +**Sending Current Location**: +This is straightforward; it sends the user's current coordinates. +This is static location data, not the Live Location, which updates automatically. +Users can fake their location at the system level (Android). + +**Sending User Contact with Phone Number**: +When the button is pressed (with prior confirmation), +the user sends their contact with a phone number to the bot. +Users can ignore the button and send any contact, +but you can handle this by verifying in the handler +or filter that `message.contact.user_id == message.from_user.id`. + +**Creating a Poll/Quiz**: +When the button is pressed, the user is prompted to create a poll or quiz, +which is then sent to the current chat. +You need to pass a [KeyboardButtonPollType](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#keyboardbuttonpolltype) object. +The optional `type` argument specifies the poll type (poll or quiz). + +**Selecting and Sending User Data to the Bot**: +Displays a window to select a user from the chat list of the user who pressed the button. +You need to pass a [KeyboardButtonRequestUser](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#keyboardbuttonrequestuser) object with a generated request ID and criteria, +such as "is bot," "has Telegram Premium," etc. +After selecting a user, the bot receives a [UserShared](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#usershared) service message. + +**Selecting and Sending Chat Data to the Bot**: +Displays a window to select a chat from the chat list of the user who pressed the button. +You need to pass a [KeyboardButtonRequestChat](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#keyboardbuttonrequestchat) object with a generated request ID and criteria, +such as "is a group or channel," "user is chat creator," etc. +After selecting a chat, the bot receives a [ChatShared](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#chatshared) service message. + +**Launching a WebApp**: +When the button is pressed, it opens a [WebApp](https://core.telegram.org/bots/webapps). +You need to pass a [WebAppInfo](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#webappinfo) object. +WebApps will not be covered in this book. + +Here's some code for illustration: +```python +@dp.message(Command("special_buttons")) +async def cmd_special_buttons(message: types.Message): + builder = ReplyKeyboardBuilder() + # The row method explicitly forms a row + # of one or more buttons. For example, the first row + # will consist of two buttons... + builder.row( + types.KeyboardButton( + text="Request Location", + request_location=True + ), + types.KeyboardButton( + text="Request Contact", + request_contact=True + ) + ) + # ... the second row consists of one button ... + builder.row(types.KeyboardButton( + text="Create Quiz", + request_poll=types.KeyboardButtonPollType(type="quiz")) + ) + # ... and the third row again consists of two buttons + builder.row( + types.KeyboardButton( + text="Select Premium User", + request_user=types.KeyboardButtonRequestUser( + request_id=1, + user_is_premium=True + ) + ), + types.KeyboardButton( + text="Select Supergroup with Forums", + request_chat=types.KeyboardButtonRequestChat( + request_id=2, + chat_is_channel=False, + chat_is_forum=True + ) + ) + ) + # No WebApps yet, sorry :( + + await message.answer( + "Choose an action:", + reply_markup=builder.as_markup(resize_keyboard=True), + ) +``` + +![Special Regular Buttons](../images/en/buttons/special_buttons.png) + +Finally, two handler templates for handling button presses from the bottom two buttons: + +```python +# new import +from aiogram import F + +@dp.message(F.user_shared) +async def on_user_shared(message: types.Message): + print( + f"Request {message.user_shared.request_id}.

" + f"Chat ID: {message.chat_shared.chat_id}" + ) +``` + +## Inline Buttons {: id="inline-buttons" } +### URL Buttons {: id="url-buttons" } + +Unlike regular buttons, inline buttons are attached not to the bottom of the screen but to the message they were sent with. +In this chapter, we will look at two types of such buttons: URL and Callback. +Another type — Switch — will be considered in the chapter on [inline mode](inline-mode.md). + +!!! info "" + Login and Pay buttons will not be covered in this book at all. If anyone is willing to help with at least + working code for authorization or payment, please create a Pull Request on + [GitHub](https://github.com/MasterGroosha/aiogram-3-guide). Thank you! + +The simplest inline buttons are of the URL type, i.e., "link". +Only HTTP(S) and tg:// protocols are supported. + +```python +# new import +from aiogram.utils.keyboard import InlineKeyboardBuilder + +@dp.message(Command("inline_url")) +async def cmd_inline_url(message: types.Message, bot: Bot): + builder = InlineKeyboardBuilder() + builder.row(types.InlineKeyboardButton( + text="GitHub", url="https://github.com") + ) + builder.row(types.InlineKeyboardButton( + text="Official Telegram Channel", + url="tg://resolve?domain=telegram") + ) + + # To be able to show the ID button, + # The user must have the has_private_forwards flag set to False + user_id = 1234567890 + chat_info = await bot.get_chat(user_id) + if not chat_info.has_private_forwards: + builder.row(types.InlineKeyboardButton( + text="Some User", + url=f"tg://user?id={user_id}") + ) + + await message.answer( + 'Choose a link', + reply_markup=builder.as_markup(), + ) +``` + +Let's take a closer look at the middle block of code. The fact is that in March 2019, +Telegram developers [added the ability](https://telegram.org/blog/unsend-privacy-emoji#anonymous-forwarding) to disable user profile +links in forwarded messages. When trying to create a URL button with a user ID who has disabled forwarding links, +the bot will receive an error `Bad Request: BUTTON_USER_PRIVACY_RESTRICTED`. +Therefore, before displaying such a button, it is necessary to check the state of this setting. +To do this, you can call the [getChat](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#getchat) method and check the state of the `has_private_forwards` field +in the response. If it is `True`, then the attempt to add a URL-ID button will result in an error. + +### Callbacks {: id="callback-buttons" } + +There isn't much more to discuss about URL buttons, so let's move on to the highlight of today's program — Callback buttons. +These are very powerful and can be found almost everywhere. Reaction buttons on posts (likes), menus in @BotFather, etc. +The essence is that callback buttons have a special value (data) by which your application recognizes what was pressed and what needs to be done. +Choosing the right data is **very important**! It is also worth noting that, unlike regular buttons, pressing a callback button +allows you to do almost anything, from ordering pizza to launching computations on a supercomputer cluster. + +Let's write a handler that will send a message with a callback button on the `/random` command: +```python +@dp.message(Command("random")) +async def cmd_random(message: types.Message): + builder = InlineKeyboardBuilder() + builder.add(types.InlineKeyboardButton( + text="Press me", + callback_data="random_value") + ) + await message.answer( + "Press the button for the bot to send a number from 1 to 10", + reply_markup=builder.as_markup() + ) +``` + +But how do we handle the press? If earlier we used a handler on `message` to handle incoming messages, now +we will use a handler on `callback_query` to handle callbacks. We will focus on the button's "value", i.e., its data: + +```python +@dp.callback_query(F.data == "random_value") +async def send_random_value(callback: types.CallbackQuery): + await callback.message.answer(str(randint(1, 10))) +``` + +![Reaction to pressing the callback button](../images/en/buttons/l03_5.png) + +Oh, why is the button pulsing with white? It turns out that the Telegram server is waiting for us to confirm the delivery of the callback, otherwise, within 30 seconds, it will highlight the button with an animated effect (pulsing white or in a different color depending on the client theme). To stop this animation, you need to call the `answer()` method on the callback (or use the API method `answer_callback_query()`). In general, you can call the `answer()` method without any arguments, but you can also call a special window (pop-up or overlay): + +```python +@dp.callback_query(F.data == "random_value") +async def send_random_value(callback: types.CallbackQuery): + await callback.message.answer(str(randint(1, 10))) + await callback.answer( + text="Thank you for using the bot!", + show_alert=True + ) + # or just await callback.answer() +``` + +![Pop-up window when pressing the callback button](../images/en/buttons/l03_6.png) + +The reader may wonder: at what point in the processing should we respond to the callback with the `answer()` method? In general, the main thing is to simply not forget to inform Telegram about receiving the callback request, but I recommend placing +the `answer()` call at the very end, and here's why: if an error occurs during the callback processing and +the bot encounters an unhandled exception, the user will see the pulsing button animation for half a minute and understand that something +is wrong. Otherwise, the animation will stop, and the user will remain unaware of whether their request was successfully processed or not. + +!!! info "Note" + In the `send_random_value` function, we called the `answer()` method not on `message`, but on `callback.message`. This is because + callback handlers work not with messages (type [Message](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#message)), + but with callbacks (type [CallbackQuery](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#callbackquery)), which have different fields, and + the message itself is just a part of it. Also, note that `message` is the message to which the + button was attached (i.e., the sender of such a message is the bot itself). If you want to know who pressed the button, look at + the `from` field (in your code, it will be `callback.from_user`, as the word `from` is reserved in Python). + +!!! warning "About the `message` object in the callback" + If the message was sent from [inline mode](inline-mode.md), the `message` field in the callback will be empty. + You will not be able to get the content of such a message unless you save it somewhere in advance. + +Let's move on to a more complex example. Suppose the user is offered a message with the number 0, and below it are three buttons: +1, -1, and Confirm. +With the first two, they can edit the number, and the last one removes the entire keyboard, fixing the changes. We will store the values in +memory in a dictionary (we will talk about finite state machines _another time_). + +```python +# This is where user data is stored. +# Since this is an in-memory dictionary, it will be cleared upon restart +user_data = {} + +def get_keyboard(): + buttons = [ + [ + types.InlineKeyboardButton(text="-1", callback_data="num_decr"), + types.InlineKeyboardButton(text="+1", callback_data="num_incr") + ], + [types.InlineKeyboardButton(text="Confirm", callback_data="num_finish")] + ] + keyboard = types.InlineKeyboardMarkup(inline_keyboard=buttons) + return keyboard + + +async def update_num_text(message: types.Message, new_value: int): + await message.edit_text( + f"Specify the number: {new_value}", + reply_markup=get_keyboard() + ) + + +@dp.message(Command("numbers")) +async def cmd_numbers(message: types.Message): + user_data[message.from_user.id] = 0 + await message.answer("Specify the number: 0", reply_markup=get_keyboard()) + + +@dp.callback_query(F.data.startswith("num_")) +async def callbacks_num(callback: types.CallbackQuery): + user_value = user_data.get(callback.from_user.id, 0) + action = callback.data.split("_")[1] + + if action == "incr": + user_data[callback.from_user.id] = user_value+1 + await update_num_text(callback.message, user_value+1) + elif action == "decr": + user_data[callback.from_user.id] = user_value-1 + await update_num_text(callback.message, user_value-1) + elif action == "finish": + await callback.message.edit_text(f"Total: {user_value}") + + await callback.answer() +``` + +And it seems to work: + +![Everything works?](../images/en/buttons/l03_7.png) + +But now imagine that a cunning user did the following: called the `/numbers` command (value 0), increased the value +to 1, called `/numbers` again (the value reset to 0), and edited and pressed the "+1" button on the first message. +What will happen? The bot will honestly send a request to edit the text with the value 1, but since the message +already has the number 1, the Bot API will return an error that the old and new texts match, and the bot will catch an exception: +`Bad Request: message is not modified: specified new message content and reply markup are exactly the same +as a current content and reply markup of the message` + +![BadRequest error under certain circumstances](../images/en/buttons/l03_8.png) + +You will likely encounter this error often at first when trying to edit messages. +Generally speaking, such an error often indicates problems with the logic of generating/updating data in the message, but sometimes, +as in the example above, it can be expected behavior. + +In this case, we will ignore the error entirely, as we only care about +the final result, which will definitely be correct. The **MessageNotModified** error belongs to the Bad Request category, +so we have a choice: ignore the entire class of such errors, or catch the entire BadRequest class +and try to identify the specific cause by the error text. +To avoid complicating the example too much, we will use the first method and slightly update the `update_num_text()` function: + +```python +# New imports! +from contextlib import suppress +from aiogram.exceptions import TelegramBadRequest + +async def update_num_text(message: types.Message, new_value: int): + with suppress(TelegramBadRequest): + await message.edit_text( + f"Specify the number: {new_value}", + reply_markup=get_keyboard() + ) +``` + +If you now try to repeat the example above, the bot will simply ignore the specified exception in this block of code. + +### Callback Factory {: id="callback-factory" } + +When you operate with some simple callbacks with a common prefix, like `order_1`, `order_2`... it may seem +easy to call `split()` and split the string by some delimiter. But now imagine that you need +to store not one value, but three: `order_1_1994_2731519`. What is the article, price, quantity here? Or maybe it's the year of release? +And splitting the string starts to look scary: `.split("_")[2]`. Why not 1 or 3? + +At some point, there is a need to structure the content of such callback data, and aiogram has a solution! +You create `CallbackData` objects, specify a prefix, describe the structure, and then the framework independently assembles +the string with callback data and, more importantly, correctly parses the incoming value. Let's understand this with a specific example; +we will create a `NumbersCallbackFactory` class with the prefix `fabnum` and two fields `action` and `value`. The `action` field determines +what to do, change the value (change) or fix it (finish), and the `value` field shows by how much to change +the value. By default, it will be None, as the "finish" action does not require a change delta. Code: + +```python +# new imports! +from typing import Optional +from aiogram.filters.callback_data import CallbackData + +class NumbersCallbackFactory(CallbackData, prefix="fabnum"): + action: str + value: Optional[int] = None +``` + +Our class must inherit from `CallbackData` and accept the prefix value. The prefix is +a common substring at the beginning by which the framework will determine which structure is in the callback. + +Now let's write the function to generate the keyboard. Here we will use the `button()` method, which will automatically +create a button with the required type, and we only need to pass the arguments. +As the `callback_data` argument, instead of a string, we will specify +an instance of our `NumbersCallbackFactory` class: + +```python +def get_keyboard_fab(): + builder = InlineKeyboardBuilder() + builder.button( + text="-2", callback_data=NumbersCallbackFactory(action="change", value=-2) + ) + builder.button( + text="-1", callback_data=NumbersCallbackFactory(action="change", value=-1) + ) + builder.button( + text="+1", callback_data=NumbersCallbackFactory(action="change", value=1) + ) + builder.button( + text="+2", callback_data=NumbersCallbackFactory(action="change", value=2) + ) + builder.button( + text="Confirm", callback_data=NumbersCallbackFactory(action="finish") + ) + # Align buttons 4 per row to get 4 + 1 + builder.adjust(4) + return builder.as_markup() +``` + +We leave the message sending and editing methods the same (we will add the `_fab` suffix to the names and commands): + +```python +async def update_num_text_fab(message: types.Message, new_value: int): + with suppress(TelegramBadRequest): + await message.edit_text( + f"Specify the number: {new_value}", + reply_markup=get_keyboard_fab() + ) + +@dp.message(Command("numbers_fab")) +async def cmd_numbers_fab(message: types.Message): + user_data[message.from_user.id] = 0 + await message.answer("Specify the number: 0", reply_markup=get_keyboard_fab()) +``` + +Finally, we move on to the main part — handling callbacks. To do this, we need to pass the class whose callbacks we are catching +to the decorator with the `filter()` method called. There is also an additional argument named `callback_data` +(the name must be exactly this!), and it has the same type as the filtered class: + +```python +@dp.callback_query(NumbersCallbackFactory.filter()) +async def callbacks_num_change_fab( + callback: types.CallbackQuery, + callback_data: NumbersCallbackFactory +): + # Current value + user_value = user_data.get(callback.from_user.id, 0) + # If the number needs to be changed + if callback_data.action == "change": + user_data[callback.from_user.id] = user_value + callback_data.value + await update_num_text_fab(callback.message, user_value + callback_data.value) + # If the number needs to be fixed + else: + await callback.message.edit_text(f"Total: {user_value}") + await callback.answer() +``` + +Let's further specify our handlers and make a separate handler +for numeric buttons and for the "Confirm" button. We will filter by the `action` value, and the "magic filters" of aiogram 3.x will help us with this. +Seriously, they are called that: Magic Filter. We will discuss this magic in more detail +in another chapter, but for now, let's just use the "magic" and take it on faith: + +```python +# new import! +from magic_filter import F + +# Pressing one of the buttons: -2, -1, +1, +2 +@dp.callback_query(NumbersCallbackFactory.filter(F.action == "change")) +async def callbacks_num_change_fab( + callback: types.CallbackQuery, + callback_data: NumbersCallbackFactory +): + # Current value + user_value = user_data.get(callback.from_user.id, 0) + + user_data[callback.from_user.id] = user_value + callback_data.value + await update_num_text_fab(callback.message, user_value + callback_data.value) + await callback.answer() + + +# Pressing the "confirm" button +@dp.callback_query(NumbersCallbackFactory.filter(F.action == "finish")) +async def callbacks_num_finish_fab(callback: types.CallbackQuery): + # Current value + user_value = user_data.get(callback.from_user.id, 0) + + await callback.message.edit_text(f"Total: {user_value}") + await callback.answer() +``` + +![Callback Factory](../images/en/buttons/callback_factory.png) + +At first glance, what we did may seem complicated, but in reality, the callback factory allows +you to create advanced callback buttons and conveniently break the code into logical entities. You can see the application of the factory +in practice in the [Minesweeper game bot](https://github.com/MasterGroosha/telegram-bombsweeper-bot), +written by your favorite author :) + +### Auto-reply to Callbacks {: id="callback-autoreply" } + +If you have a lot of callback handlers that need either a simple reply or a uniform reply, you can +simplify your life a bit by using a special middleware. We will talk about such things +[separately](filters-and-middlewares.md#middlewares), but for now, let's get acquainted. + +So, the simplest option is to add this line after creating the dispatcher: + +```python +# don't forget the new import +from aiogram.utils.callback_answer import CallbackAnswerMiddleware + +dp = Dispatcher() +dp.callback_query.middleware(CallbackAnswerMiddleware()) +``` + +In this case, after the handler is executed, aiogram will automatically respond to the callback. +You can override +[default settings](https://github.com/aiogram/aiogram/blob/5adaf7a567e976da64e418eee5df31682ad2496c/aiogram/utils/callback_answer.py#L133-L137) +and specify your own, for example: + +```python +dp.callback_query.middleware( + CallbackAnswerMiddleware( + pre=True, text="Done!", show_alert=True + ) +) +``` + +Unfortunately, situations where all callback handlers have the same response are quite rare. Fortunately, overriding +the middleware behavior in a specific handler is quite simple: just pass the `callback_answer` argument +and set new values for it: + +```python +# new import! +from aiogram.utils.callback_answer import CallbackAnswer + +@dp.callback_query() +async def my_handler(callback: CallbackQuery, callback_answer: CallbackAnswer): + ... # some code here + if : + callback_answer.text = "Great!" + else: + callback_answer.text = "Something went wrong. Try again later" + callback_answer.cache_time = 10 + ... # some code here +``` + +**Important**: this method will not work if the middleware has the `pre=True` flag set. In this case, you need to completely +override the middleware parameter set through flags, which we will discuss +[later](filters-and-middlewares.md#flags): + +```python +from aiogram import flags +from aiogram.utils.callback_answer import CallbackAnswer + +@dp.callback_query() +@flags.callback_answer(pre=False) # override the pre flag +async def my_handler(callback: CallbackQuery, callback_answer: CallbackAnswer): + ... # some code here + if : + callback_answer.text = "Now this text will be visible!" + ... # some code here +``` + +For now, we will conclude our acquaintance with buttons. + diff --git a/book_src/en/filters-and-middlewares.md b/book_src/en/filters-and-middlewares.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..b366a26e --- /dev/null +++ b/book_src/en/filters-and-middlewares.md @@ -0,0 +1,905 @@ +--- +title: Filters and Middlewares +description: Filters and Middlewares +t_status: complete_except_images +--- + +# Filters and Middlewares + +!!! info "" + aiogram version used: 3.14.0 + +It's time to figure out how filters and middlewares work in aiogram 3.x, and also to get acquainted with +the "lambda expression killer" of the framework — _magic filters_. + +## Filters {: id="filters" } + +### Why do we need filters? {: id="why-filters" } + +If you've written your [first bot](quickstart.md#hello-world), then congratulations: you've already used filters, +just built-in ones, not custom ones. Yes, that `Command("start")` is actually a filter. They are needed +to ensure that the next update from Telegram goes to the right handler, i.e., where it [the update] is expected. + +Let's look at the simplest example to understand the importance of filters. Let's say we have users Alice with ID 111 +and Bob with ID 777. And there's a bot that responds to any text message from our two friends with some +motivational phrase, while rejecting everyone else: + +```python +from random import choice + +@router.message(F.text) +async def my_text_handler(message: Message): + phrases = [ + "Hi! You look great :)", + "Hello, today will be a great day!", + "Hi there)) smile :)" + ] + if message.from_user.id in (111, 777): + await message.answer(choice(phrases)) + else: + await message.answer("I don't talk to you!") +``` + +Then at some point, we decide that we need to make a more personalized greeting for each of our friends, +and for this we split our handler into three: for Alice, for Bob, and for everyone else: + +```python +@router.message(F.text) +async def greet_alice(message: Message): + # print("Handler for Alice") + phrases = [ + "Hi, {name}. You look gorgeous today!", + "You're the smartest, {name}", + ] + if message.from_user.id == 111: + await message.answer( + choice(phrases).format(name="Alice") + ) + +@router.message(F.text) +async def greet_bob(message: Message): + phrases = [ + "Hi, {name}. You're the strongest!", + "You're cool, {name}!", + ] + if message.from_user.id == 777: + await message.answer( + choice(phrases).format(name="Bob") + ) + +@router.message(F.text) +async def stranger_go_away(message: Message): + if message.from_user.id not in (111, 777): + await message.answer("I don't talk to you!") +``` + +With this setup, Alice will receive messages and be happy. But everyone else won't get anything because +the code will always go into the `greet_alice()` function and not pass the `if message.from_user.id == 111` condition. +You can easily verify this by uncommenting the `print()` call. + +But why is that? The answer is simple: any text message will first go through the `F.text` check above the +`greet_alice()` function, this check will return `True` and the update will go into this function, from where, not passing the internal +condition `if`, it will exit and fade into oblivion. + +To avoid such issues, filters exist. In reality, the correct check would be +"text message AND user ID 111". Then, when Bob with ID 777 writes to the bot, the combination of filters +would return False, and the router would go on to check the next handler where both filters would return True and the update would land in the handler. +Perhaps at first glance the above sounds very complicated, but by the end of this chapter you'll understand how to properly organize +such a check. + +### Filters as classes {: id="filters-as-classes" } + +Unlike aiogram 2.x, in "version 3" there is no longer a **ChatTypeFilter** class filter for a specific chat type +(private, group, supergroup, or channel).

The latter can be useful when we're interested in several types at once, +for example, groups and supergroups. + +Our application entry point, namely the `bot.py` file, looks familiar: + +```python title="bot.py" +import asyncio + +from aiogram import Bot, Dispatcher + + +async def main(): + bot = Bot(token="TOKEN") + dp = Dispatcher() + + # Start the bot and skip all accumulated incoming updates + # Yes, this method can be called even if you're using polling + await bot.delete_webhook(drop_pending_updates=True) + await dp.start_polling(bot) + + +if __name__ == "__main__": + asyncio.run(main()) + +``` + +Next to it, let's create a `filters` directory, and inside it a file `chat_type.py`: + +```python title="filters/chat_type.py" hl_lines="7 8 11" +from typing import Union + +from aiogram.filters import BaseFilter +from aiogram.types import Message + + +class ChatTypeFilter(BaseFilter): # [1] + def __init__(self, chat_type: Union[str, list]): # [2] + self.chat_type = chat_type + + async def __call__(self, message: Message) -> bool: # [3] + if isinstance(self.chat_type, str): + return message.chat.type == self.chat_type + else: + return message.chat.type in self.chat_type +``` + +Let's pay attention to the highlighted lines: + +1. Our filters inherit from the base class `BaseFilter` +2. In the class constructor, we can set future filter arguments. In this case, we declare the presence of one + argument `chat_type`, which can be either a string (`str`) or a list (`list`). +3. All the action happens in the `__call__()` method, which is triggered when an instance of the + `ChatTypeFilter()` class is called [as a function](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/datamodel.html?highlight=__call__#object.__call__). + Inside there's nothing special: we check the type of the passed object and call the appropriate check. + We aim for the filter to return a boolean value, since only the handler whose filters all returned `True` will be executed next. + +Now let's write a couple of handlers in which we'll send a dice of the corresponding type in response to the `/dice` and `/basketball` commands, but only in a group. We create a file `handlers/group_games.py` and write some elementary code: + +```python title="handlers/group_games.py" hl_lines="3 6 11 12 19 20" +from aiogram import Router +from aiogram.enums.dice_emoji import DiceEmoji +from aiogram.types import Message +from aiogram.filters import Command + +from filters.chat_type import ChatTypeFilter + +router = Router() + + +@router.message( + ChatTypeFilter(chat_type=["group", "supergroup"]), + Command(commands=["dice"]), +) +async def cmd_dice_in_group(message: Message): + await message.answer_dice(emoji=DiceEmoji.DICE) + + +@router.message( + ChatTypeFilter(chat_type=["group", "supergroup"]), + Command(commands=["basketball"]), +) +async def cmd_basketball_in_group(message: Message): + await message.answer_dice(emoji=DiceEmoji.BASKETBALL) +``` + +Well, let's break it down. +First, we imported the built-in `Command` filter and our freshly written +`ChatTypeFilter`. +Second, we passed our filter as a positional argument to the decorator, specifying +the desired chat type(s) as arguments. +Third, in aiogram 2.x you were used to filtering commands as `commands=...`, but in **aiogram 3** this is no longer the case, +and the correct way is to use built-in filters in the same way as your own, through importing and calling the corresponding classes. +This is exactly what we see in the second decorator with the call `Command(commands="somecommand")` or briefly: `Command("somecommand")` + +All that's left is to import the file with handlers into the entry point and connect the new router to the dispatcher (new lines are highlighted): + +```python title="bot.py" hl_lines="5 12" +import asyncio + +from aiogram import Bot, Dispatcher + +from handlers import group_games + + +async def main(): + bot = Bot(token="TOKEN") + dp = Dispatcher() + + dp.include_router(group_games.router) + + # Start the bot and skip all accumulated incoming updates + # Yes, this method can be called even if you're using polling + await bot.delete_webhook(drop_pending_updates=True) + await dp.start_polling(bot) + + +if __name__ == "__main__": + asyncio.run(main()) +``` + +Let's check: + +![Filter working in a group](../images/en/filters-and-middlewares/group_filter.png) + +Everything seems good, but what if we have not 2 handlers, but 10? We'll have to specify our +filter for each one and not forget anywhere. Fortunately, filters can be attached directly to routers! In this case, the check +will be performed exactly once, when the update reaches that router. This can be useful +if you're doing various "heavy" tasks in the filter, like accessing the Bot API; otherwise, you can +easily encounter a floodwait. + +Here's our file with handlers for dice in its final form: + +```python title="handlers/group_games.py" +from aiogram import Router +from aiogram.enums.dice_emoji import DiceEmoji +from aiogram.filters import Command +from aiogram.types import Message + +from filters.chat_type import ChatTypeFilter + +router = Router() +router.message.filter( + ChatTypeFilter(chat_type=["group", "supergroup"]) +) + + +@router.message(Command("dice")) +async def cmd_dice_in_group(message: Message): + await message.answer_dice(emoji=DiceEmoji.DICE) + + +@router.message(Command("basketball")) +async def cmd_basketball_in_group(message: Message): + await message.answer_dice(emoji=DiceEmoji.BASKETBALL) +``` + +!!! info "" + Generally speaking, such a filter on chat type can be done a bit differently. Despite the fact + that there are four types of chats (private, group, supergroup, channel), the update of type `message` + cannot come from channels, as they have their own update `channel_post`. And when we + filter groups, usually it doesn't matter whether it's a regular group or a supergroup, as long as it's not a private chat. + + Thus, the filter itself can be reduced to a conditional `ChatTypeFilter(is_group=True/False)` + and simply check if it's a private chat or not. The specific implementation is left to the reader's discretion. + +In addition to True/False, filters can pass something to handlers that have passed the filter. This can be useful +when we don't want to process a message in the handler because we've already done it in the filter. To make +this clearer, let's write a filter that will pass a message if it contains usernames, and at the same time +"push" the found values into handlers. + +In the filters directory, we create a new file `find_usernames.py`: + +```python title="filters/find_usernames.py" hl_lines="24 26" +from typing import Union, Dict, Any + +from aiogram.filters import BaseFilter +from aiogram.types import Message + + +class HasUsernamesFilter(BaseFilter): + async def __call__(self, message: Message) -> Union[bool, Dict[str, Any]]: + # If entities don't exist at all, None will be returned, + # in this case we consider it an empty list + entities = message.entities or [] + + # Check any usernames and extract them from the text + # using the extract_from() method. See the chapter + # about working with messages for more details + found_usernames = [ + item.extract_from(message.text) for item in entities + if item.type == "mention" + ] + + # If there are usernames, then "push" them into the handler + # with the name "usernames" + if len(found_usernames) > 0: + return {"usernames": found_usernames} + # If we didn't find any username, return False + return False +``` + +And we create a new file with a handler: + +```python title="handlers/usernames.py" hl_lines="6 13 17 21" +from typing import List + +from aiogram import Router, F +from aiogram.types import Message + +from filters.find_usernames import HasUsernamesFilter + +router = Router() + + +@router.message( + F.text, + HasUsernamesFilter() +) +async def message_with_usernames( + message: Message, + usernames: List[str] +): + await message.reply( + f'Thanks! I will definitely subscribe to ' + f'{", ".join(usernames)}' + ) +``` + +In case at least one username is found, the `HasUsernamesFilter` filter will not just return `True`, but +a dictionary where the extracted usernames will be stored under the key `usernames`. Accordingly, in the handler to which +this filter is attached, you can add an argument with exactly the same name to the handler function. Voilà! +Now there's no need to parse the entire message again and extract the list of usernames: + +![List the extracted usernames](../images/en/filters-and-middlewares/data_propagation_in_filter.png) + +### Magic filters {: id="magic-filters" } + +After getting acquainted with `ChatTypeFilter` from the previous section, someone might exclaim: +"why so complicated, when you can simply use a lambda: +`lambda m: m.chat.type in ("group", "supergroup")`"? And you're right! Indeed, for some +simple cases, when you just need to check the value of an object field, creating a separate +file with a filter, then importing it, doesn't make much sense. + +Alex, the founder and lead developer of aiogram, wrote the +[magic-filter](https://github.com/aiogram/magic-filter/) library, implementing dynamic retrieval +of object attribute values (kind of like `getattr` on steroids). Moreover, it already comes with **aiogram 3.x**. +If you've installed "version 3", then you've already installed **magic-filter**. + +!!! info "" + The magic-filter library is also available on [PyPi](https://pypi.org/project/magic-filter/) + and can be used separately from aiogram in your other projects. When using the + library in aiogram, you will have one additional feature, which we'll discuss + later in this chapter. + +The capabilities of the "magic filter" are described in quite detail in the +[aiogram documentation](https://docs.aiogram.dev/en/dev-3.x/dispatcher/filters/magic_filters.html), but here +we'll focus on the main points. + +Let's recall what a message's "content type" is. This concept doesn't exist in the Bot API, but it +exists in both pyTelegramBotAPI and aiogram. The idea is simple: if the `photo` field in a +[Message](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#message) object is not empty (i.e., not equal to `None` +in Python), then this message contains an image, therefore, we consider its +content type to be `photo`. And the filter `content_types="photo"` will catch only such messages, +saving the developer from having to check this attribute inside the handler. + +Now it's not hard to imagine that a lambda expression that in plain language sounds like +"the 'photo' attribute of the passed variable 'm' must not be equal to None", in Python looks like +`lambda m: m.photo is not None`, or, simplifying slightly, `lambda m: m.photo`. And `m` itself becomes +the object we are filtering. For example, an object of type `Message`. + +Magic-filter offers a similar thing. For this, you need to import the `MagicFilter` class from aiogram, +but we import it not by its full name, but by the single letter alias `F`: + +```python +from aiogram import F + +# Here F is the message +@router.message(F.photo) +async def photo_msg(message: Message): + await message.answer("This is definitely some kind of image!") +``` + +Instead of the old variant `ContentTypesFilter(content_types="photo")`, the new one is `F.photo`. Convenient! And now, +armed with such sacred knowledge, we can easily replace the `ChatTypeFilter` filter with magic: +`router.message.filter(F.chat.type.in_({"group", "supergroup"}))`. +Moreover, even checking content types can be represented as a magic filter: +`F.content_type.in_({'text', 'sticker', 'photo'})` or `F.photo | F.text | F.sticker`. + +Also, it's worth remembering that filters can be applied not only to **Message** processing, but also to any other +types of updates: callbacks, inline queries, (my_)chat_member, and others. + +Let's look at that "exclusive" feature of magic-filter in **aiogram 3.x**. It's about the +method `as_()`, which allows you to get the filter result as a handler argument. Here's a short +example to clarify: in messages with photos, these images come in an array, which is usually +sorted in increasing quality order. Accordingly, you can immediately get the photo object +of the highest quality in the handler: + +```python +from aiogram.types import Message, PhotoSize + +@router.message(F.photo[-1].as_("largest_photo")) +async def forward_from_channel_handler(message: Message, largest_photo: PhotoSize) -> None: + print(largest_photo.width, largest_photo.height) +``` + +A more complex example. If a message is forwarded from anonymous group administrators +or from some channel, then the `forward_from_chat` field in the `Message` object will be non-empty with an object +of type `Chat` inside. Here's what an example will look like that will only work if the `forward_from_chat` field +is not empty, and in the `Chat` object, the `type` field is equal to `channel` (in other words, we filter out forwards from anonymous +admins, reacting only to forwards from channels): + +```python +from aiogram import F +from aiogram.types import Message, Chat + +@router.message(F.forward_from_chat[F.type == "channel"].as_("channel")) +async def forwarded_from_channel(message: Message, channel: Chat): + await message.answer(f"This channel's ID is {channel.id}") +``` + +An even more complex example. With magic-filter, you can check list elements for compliance with some criteria: + +```python +from aiogram.enums import MessageEntityType + +@router.message(F.entities[:].type == MessageEntityType.EMAIL) +async def all_emails(message: Message): + await message.answer("All entities are emails") + + +@router.message(F.entities[...].type == MessageEntityType.EMAIL) +async def any_emails(message: Message): + await message.answer("At least one email!") +``` + +### MagicData {: id="magic-data" } + +Finally, let's briefly touch on [MagicData](https://docs.aiogram.dev/en/latest/dispatcher/filters/magic_data.html). This filter +allows you to move up a level in terms of filters and operate with values that are passed through middlewares or +into the dispatcher/polling/webhook. Suppose you have a popular bot. And the time has come +to perform maintenance: back up the database, clean up logs, etc. But at the same time, you don't want to shut down the bot +to avoid losing a new audience: let it respond to users saying, please wait a bit. + +One possible solution is to make a special router that will intercept messages, callbacks, etc., if +in some way a boolean value `maintenance_mode` equal to `True` is passed to the bot. A simple single-file example for +understanding this logic is available below: + +```python +import asyncio +import logging +import sys + +from aiogram import Bot, Dispatcher, Router, F +from aiogram.filters import MagicData, CommandStart +from aiogram.types import Message, CallbackQuery +from aiogram.utils.keyboard import InlineKeyboardBuilder + +# Create a router for maintenance mode and set filters on the types +maintenance_router = Router() +maintenance_router.message.filter(MagicData(F.maintenance_mode.is_(True))) +maintenance_router.callback_query.filter(MagicData(F.maintenance_mode.is_(True))) + +regular_router = Router() + +# Handlers of this router will intercept all messages and callbacks +# if maintenance_mode is True +@maintenance_router.message() +async def any_message(message: Message): + await message.answer("The bot is in maintenance mode. Please wait.") + + +@maintenance_router.callback_query() +async def any_callback(callback: CallbackQuery): + await callback.answer( + text="The bot is in maintenance mode. Please wait", + show_alert=True + ) + +# Handlers of this router are used OUTSIDE maintenance mode, +# i.e. when maintenance_mode is False or not specified at all +@regular_router.message(CommandStart()) +async def cmd_start(message: Message): + builder = InlineKeyboardBuilder() + builder.button(text="Click me", callback_data="anything") + await message.answer( + text="Some text with a button", + reply_markup=builder.as_markup() + ) + + +@regular_router.callback_query(F.data == "anything") +async def callback_anything(callback: CallbackQuery): + await callback.answer( + text="This is some regular action", + show_alert=True + ) + + +async def main() -> None: + bot = Bot('1234567890:AaBbCcDdEeFfGrOoShAHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOo') + # In real life, the maintenance_mode value + # will be taken from an external source (e.g., config or via API) + # Remember that since bool type is immutable, + # changing it at runtime won't affect anything + dp = Dispatcher(maintenance_mode=True) + # The maintenance router must be first + dp.include_routers(maintenance_router, regular_router) + await dp.start_polling(bot) + + +if __name__ == "__main__": + logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, stream=sys.stdout) + asyncio.run(main()) +``` + +!!! tip "Everything should be in moderation" + Magic-filter provides a powerful tool for filtering and sometimes allows you to concisely describe complex logic, + but it's not a panacea or a universal tool. If you can't immediately write a beautiful magic filter, + don't worry; just make a class filter. + No one will judge you for that. + + +## Middlewares {: id="middlewares" } + +### Why do we need middlewares? {: id="why-middlewares" } + +Imagine you came to a nightclub with some goal (to listen to music, have a cocktail, +meet new people). And at the entrance, there's a bouncer. He might just let you in, +he might check your ID and decide whether you'll get in or not, he might give you a paper bracelet +to later distinguish real guests from accidentally wandered ones, or he might not let you in at all, sending you home. + +In aiogram terminology, you are the update, the nightclub is a set of handlers, and the bouncer at the entrance is the middleware. The task of the latter +is to intervene in the process of handling updates to implement some logic. Going back to the example above, what can you +do inside middlewares? + +* log events; +* pass some objects to handlers (for example, a database session from a session pool); +* substitute update handling, not passing to handlers; +* silently let updates pass as if they never existed; +* ... anything else! + +### Types and structure of middlewares {: id="middlewares-structure" } + +Let's refer to the aiogram 3.x documentation again, but this time in +[another section](https://docs.aiogram.dev/en/dev-3.x/dispatcher/middlewares.html#basics) and look at +the following image: + +![middleware "onion"](../images/en/filters-and-middlewares/middlewares_structure.png) + +It turns out there are two types of middlewares: outer and inner (or simply "middlewares"). What's the difference? +Outer ones are executed before filtering begins, and inner ones after. In practice, this means that a message/callback/inline query +passing through an outer middleware may not reach any handler, but if it reaches an inner one, then there will +definitely be some handler next. + +!!! info "Middlewares on Update type" + It's worth reminding that Update is the general type for all kinds of events in Telegram. And there are two important features about them + in terms of their processing by aiogram: + • Inner middleware on Update is called **always** (i.e., in this case, there's no difference between Outer and Inner). + • Middlewares on Update can only be hung on the dispatcher (root router). + +Let's consider the simplest middleware: + +```python linenums="1" +from typing import Callable, Dict, Any, Awaitable +from aiogram import BaseMiddleware +from aiogram.types import TelegramObject + +class SomeMiddleware(BaseMiddleware): + async def __call__( + self, + handler: Callable[[TelegramObject, Dict[str, Any]], Awaitable[Any]], + event: TelegramObject, + data: Dict[str, Any] + ) -> Any: + print("Before handler") + result = await handler(event, data) + print("After handler") + return result +``` + +Each middleware built on classes (we won't consider +[other variants](https://docs.aiogram.dev/en/dev-3.x/dispatcher/middlewares.html#function-based)) must implement +the `__call__()` method with three arguments: + +1. **handler** — actually, the handler object that will be executed. It only makes sense for inner middlewares, + since the outer middleware doesn't yet know which handler the update will go into. +2. **event** — the type of Telegram object we're processing. Usually it's Update, Message, CallbackQuery or InlineQuery + (but not only). If you know exactly what types of objects you're processing, feel free to write, for example, `Message` instead of + `TelegramObject`. +3. **data** — data associated with the current update: FSM, additional fields passed from filters, flags (more on them later), etc. + Into this same `data`, we can put some of our own data from middlewares, which will be available as + arguments in handlers (just like in filters). + +With the function body, it gets even more interesting. + +* Everything you write BEFORE line 13 will be executed before passing control + to the underlying handler (which could be another middleware or directly the handler). +* Everything you write AFTER line 13 will be executed after exiting the underlying handler. +* If you want the processing to continue, you **MUST** call `await handler(event, data)`. If you want to + "drop" the update, just don't call it. +* If you don't need to get data from the handler, then put + `return await handler(event, data)` as the last line of the function. If you don't return `await handler(event, data)` (implicit `return None`), + then the update will be considered "dropped". + +All our familiar objects (`Message`, `CallbackQuery`, etc.) are updates (`Update`), so for `Message`, first +middlewares for `Update` will be executed, and only then for the `Message` itself. Let's keep our `print()` statements from the example above and +trace how the middlewares will be executed if we register one outer and one inner middleware for the types +`Update` and `Message`. + +If a message (`Message`) is eventually processed by some handler: + +1. `[Update Outer] Before handler` +2. `[Update Inner] Before handler` +3. `[Message Outer] Before handler` +4. `[Message Inner] Before handler` +5. `[Message Inner] After handler` +6. `[Message Outer] After handler` +7. `[Update Inner] After handler` +8. `[Update Outer] After handler` + +If the message doesn't find the right handler: + +1. `[Update Outer] Before handler` +2. `[Update Inner] Before handler` +3. `[Message Outer] Before handler` +4. `[Message Outer] After handler` +5. `[Update Inner] After handler` +6. `[Update Outer] After handler` + +!!! question "Banning users in the bot" + Very often in Telegram bot groups, the same question is asked: "how to ban a user in the bot so that + they can't write to the bot?". Most likely, the best place for this would be an outer middleware on Update, as the earliest + stage of processing a user's request. Moreover, one of the built-in aiogram middlewares puts a dictionary + with user information in `data` under the key `event_from_user`. You can then retrieve the user ID from there, compare it with + some of your "blacklist" and simply do `return` to prevent further processing + down the chain. + +### Examples of middlewares {: id="middlewares-examples" } + +Let's consider several examples of middlewares. + +#### Passing arguments to middleware {: id="middleware-pass-arguments" } + +We're using middleware classes, so they have a constructor. This allows us to customize the behavior of the code inside, +controlling it from outside. For example, from a configuration file. Let's write a useless but illustrative "slowing down" middleware +that will slow down the processing of incoming messages by the specified number of seconds: + +```python hl_lines="7 8 18" +import asyncio +from typing import Any, Callable, Dict, Awaitable +from aiogram import BaseMiddleware +from aiogram.types import TelegramObject + +class SlowpokeMiddleware(BaseMiddleware): + def __init__(self, sleep_sec: int): + self.sleep_sec = sleep_sec + + async def __call__( + self, + handler: Callable[[TelegramObject, Dict[str, Any]], Awaitable[Any]], + event: TelegramObject, + data: Dict[str, Any], + ) -> Any: + # Wait for the specified number of seconds and pass control further down the chain + # (this can be either a handler or the next middleware) + await asyncio.sleep(self.sleep_sec) + result = await handler(event, data) + # If you return something in the handler, that value will end up in result + print(f"Handler was delayed by {self.sleep_sec} seconds") + return result +``` + +And now let's hang it on two routers with different values: + +```python +from aiogram import Router +from <...> import SlowpokeMiddleware + +# Somewhere else +router1 = Router() +router2 = Router() + +router1.message.middleware(SlowpokeMiddleware(sleep_sec=5)) +router2.message.middleware(SlowpokeMiddleware(sleep_sec=10)) +``` + +#### Passing data from middleware {: id="middleware-store-data" } + +As we already found out earlier, when processing the next update, middlewares have access to a `data` dictionary +that contains various useful objects: bot, the author of the update (event_from_user), etc. But we can also fill this +dictionary with anything we want. Moreover, later-called middlewares can see what earlier-called ones put there. + +Consider the following situation: the first middleware gets some internal ID by the user's Telegram ID (for example, from +a supposedly third-party service), and the second middleware calculates the user's "lucky month" based on this internal ID +(the remainder when dividing the internal ID by 12). All of this is placed in the handler, which either delights or disappoints the person who called +the command. It sounds complicated, but you'll understand everything now. Let's start with the middlewares: + +```python hl_lines="20 21 32 33 36 37" +from random import randint +from typing import Any, Callable, Dict, Awaitable +from datetime import datetime +from aiogram import BaseMiddleware +from aiogram.types import TelegramObject + +# Middleware that gets the user's internal ID from some third-party service +class UserInternalIdMiddleware(BaseMiddleware): + # Of course, we don't have any service in our example, + # just harsh random: + def get_internal_id(self, user_id: int) -> int: + return randint(100_000_000, 900_000_000) + user_id + + async def __call__( + self, + handler: Callable[[TelegramObject, Dict[str, Any]], Awaitable[Any]], + event: TelegramObject, + data: Dict[str, Any], + ) -> Any: + user = data["event_from_user"] + data["internal_id"] = self.get_internal_id(user.id) + return await handler(event, data) + +# Middleware that calculates the user's "lucky month" +class HappyMonthMiddleware(BaseMiddleware): + async def __call__( + self, + handler: Callable[[TelegramObject, Dict[str, Any]], Awaitable[Any]], + event: TelegramObject, + data: Dict[str, Any], + ) -> Any: + # Get value from the previous middleware + internal_id: int = data["internal_id"] + current_month: int = datetime.now().month + is_happy_month: bool = (internal_id % 12) == current_month + # Put True or False into data to retrieve it in the handler + data["is_happy_month"] = is_happy_month + return await handler(event, data) +``` + +Now let's write a handler, put it in a router, and attach the router to the dispatcher. We'll hang the first middleware as outer on the dispatcher, +because (according to the plan) this internal ID is needed always and everywhere. And we'll hang the second middleware as inner on the specific router, +since the calculation of the lucky month is only needed there. + +```python hl_lines="4 5" +@router.message(Command("happymonth")) +async def cmd_happymonth( + message: Message, + internal_id: int, + is_happy_month: bool +): + phrases = [f"Your ID in our service: {internal_id}"] + if is_happy_month: + phrases.append("This is your lucky month!") + else: + phrases.append("Be more careful this month...") + await message.answer(". ".join(phrases)) + +# Somewhere else: +async def main(): + dp = Dispatcher() + # <...> + dp.update.outer_middleware(UserInternalIdMiddleware()) + router.message.middleware(HappyMonthMiddleware()) +``` + +Here are the results we got in November (11th month): + +![Someone's month is lucky, someone's not so much](../images/en/filters-and-middlewares/happymonth.png) + +#### No callbacks on weekends! {: id="no-callbacks-on-weekend" } + +Imagine a factory has a Telegram bot, and every morning the factory workers must press an inline button +to confirm their presence and capability. The factory works 5/2 and we want the clicks not to be registered +on Saturdays and Sundays. Since pressing the button is tied to complex logic (sending data to the access control system), on weekends we'll +simply "drop" the update and display an error window. The following example can be copied in its entirety and run: + +```python +import asyncio +import logging +import sys +from datetime import datetime +from typing import Any, Callable, Dict, Awaitable + +from aiogram import Bot, Dispatcher, Router, BaseMiddleware, F +from aiogram.filters import Command +from aiogram.types import Message, CallbackQuery, TelegramObject +from aiogram.utils.keyboard import InlineKeyboardBuilder + +router = Router() + +# This will be an outer middleware for any callbacks +class WeekendCallbackMiddleware(BaseMiddleware): + def is_weekend(self) -> bool: + # 5 - Saturday, 6 - Sunday + return datetime.utcnow().weekday() in (5, 6) + + async def __call__( + self, + handler: Callable[[TelegramObject, Dict[str, Any]], Awaitable[Any]], + event: TelegramObject, + data: Dict[str, Any] + ) -> Any: + # You can safeguard and ignore the middleware + # if it's set up by mistake NOT on callbacks + if not isinstance(event, CallbackQuery): + # log it somehow + return await handler(event, data) + + # If today is not Saturday or Sunday, + # then continue processing. + if not self.is_weekend(): + return await handler(event, data) + # Otherwise, respond to the callback ourselves + # and stop further processing + await event.answer( + "What work? The factory is closed until Monday!", + show_alert=True + ) + return + + +@router.message(Command("checkin")) +async def cmd_checkin(message: Message): + builder = InlineKeyboardBuilder() + builder.button(text="I'm at work!", callback_data="checkin") + await message.answer( + text="Press this button only on weekdays!", + reply_markup=builder.as_markup() + ) + + +@router.callback_query(F.data == "checkin") +async def callback_checkin(callback: CallbackQuery): + # Lots of complex code here + await callback.answer( + text="Thank you for confirming your presence!", + show_alert=True + ) + + +async def main() -> None: + bot = Bot('1234567890:AaBbCcDdEeFfGrOoShAHhIiJjKkLlMmNnOo') + dp = Dispatcher() + dp.callback_query.outer_middleware(WeekendCallbackMiddleware()) + dp.include_router(router) + await dp.start_polling(bot) + + +if __name__ == "__main__": + logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, stream=sys.stdout) + asyncio.run(main()) +``` + +Now, if we play a bit with time travel, we can see that on weekdays the bot responds normally, +and on weekends it displays an error. + +### Flags {: id="flags" } + +Another interesting feature of **aiogram 3.x** is [flags](https://docs.aiogram.dev/en/dev-3.x/dispatcher/flags.html). Essentially, +these are certain "markers" of handlers that can be read in middlewares and elsewhere. With flags, you can mark handlers +without messing with their internal structure, to then do something in middlewares, for example, throttling. + +Let's consider a slightly modified code +[from the documentation](https://docs.aiogram.dev/en/dev-3.x/dispatcher/flags.html#example-in-middlewares). Suppose +your bot has many handlers that deal with sending media files or preparing text for subsequent +sending. If such actions take a long time, it's considered good practice to show a "typing" or +"sending a photo" status using the [sendChatAction](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendchataction) method. +By default, such an event is sent for only 5 seconds, but will automatically end if the message +is sent earlier. aiogram has a helper class `ChatActionSender` that allows you to send +the selected status until the message is sent. + +We also don't want to stuff `ChatActionSender` work inside each handler; let the middleware do that with those +handlers that have the `long_operation` flag set with the status value (for example, `typing`, `choose_sticker`...). +Here's the middleware itself: + +```python +from typing import Callable, Dict, Any, Awaitable + +from aiogram import BaseMiddleware +from aiogram.dispatcher.flags import get_flag +from aiogram.types import Message +from aiogram.utils.chat_action import ChatActionSender + + +class ChatActionMiddleware(BaseMiddleware): + async def __call__( + self, + handler: Callable[[Message, Dict[str, Any]], Awaitable[Any]], + event: Message, + data: Dict[str, Any], + ) -> Any: + long_operation_type = get_flag(data, "long_operation") + + # If there's no such flag on the handler + if not long_operation_type: + return await handler(event, data) + + # If the flag exists + async with ChatActionSender( + action=long_operation_type, + chat_id=event.chat.id, + bot=data["bot"], + ): + return await handler(event, data) +``` + +Accordingly, for the flag to be read, it must be specified somewhere. +Option: `@dp.message(, flags={"long_operation": "upload_video_note"})` + + +!!! info "" + An example of a throttling middleware can be seen in my + [casino bot](https://github.com/MasterGroosha/telegram-casino-bot/blob/09ef66cd9d1ff4709791126b058c7313c71c99c5/bot/middlewares/throttling.py). diff --git a/book_src/en/index.md b/book_src/en/index.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..35108b42 --- /dev/null +++ b/book_src/en/index.md @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +--- +title: Introduction +--- + +# **Welcome!** {: id="welcome" } + +What you see before you is what I, translator [VAI || Programmer](https://github.com/Vadim-Khristenko/), call a book on creating Telegram bots in Python using the [aiogram](https://github.com/aiogram/aiogram) framework.

The most advanced among them are HTML and MarkdownV2, +“classic” Markdown supports fewer features and is no longer used in aiogram. + +Before we look at the ways of working with text in aiogram, it's necessary to mention +an important distinction between aiogram 3.x and 2.x: in "version two" by default, only +text messages were processed, but in "version three," messages of any type are processed. +To be more precise, here is how you now need to handle text messages exclusively: + +```python +# before (with decorator) +@dp.message_handler() +async def func_name(...) + +# before (with function-registrar) +dp.register_message_handler(func_name) + +# now (with decorator) +from aiogram import F +@dp.message(F.text) +async def func_name(...) + +# now (with function-registrar) +dp.message.register(func_name, F.text) +``` + +We will talk about the "magic filter" **F** in [another chapter](filters-and-middlewares.md). + +### Formatted Output {: id="formatting-options" } + +The choice of formatting when sending messages is determined by the `parse_mode` argument, for example: +```python +from aiogram import F +from aiogram.types import Message +from aiogram.filters import Command +from aiogram.enums import ParseMode + +# If you don't specify the F.text filter, +# then the handler will even trigger on an image with the caption /test +@dp.message(F.text, Command("test")) +async def any_message(message: Message): + await message.answer( + "Hello, world!", + parse_mode=ParseMode.HTML + ) + await message.answer( + "Hello, *world*\!", + parse_mode=ParseMode.MARKDOWN_V2 + ) +``` + +![Hello world with different formatting](../images/en/messages/l02_1.png) + +If a particular formatting is used throughout the bot, specifying the `parse_mode` argument each time can be quite cumbersome. +Fortunately, in aiogram, you can set default bot parameters. To do this, create a `DefaultBotProperties` object +and pass the required settings into it: + +```python +from aiogram.client.default import DefaultBotProperties + +bot = Bot( + token="123:abcxyz", + default=DefaultBotProperties( + parse_mode=ParseMode.HTML + # there are many other interesting settings here + ) +) + +# somewhere in a function... +await message.answer("Message with HTML markup") +# to explicitly disable formatting in a specific request, +# pass parse_mode=None +await message.answer( + "Message without any markup", + parse_mode=None +) +``` + +![Default formatting type setting](../images/en/messages/l02_2.png) + +### Input Escaping {: id="input-escaping" } + +It's not uncommon for situations to arise where the final text of a bot's message is unknown in advance +and is formed based on some external data: the user's name, their input, etc. +Let’s write a handler for the `/hello` command that will greet the user by their full name +(`first_name + last_name`), for example: “Hello, Ivan Ivanov”: + +```python +from aiogram.filters import Command + +@dp.message(Command("hello")) +async def cmd_hello(message: Message): + await message.answer( + f"Hello, {message.from_user.full_name}", + parse_mode=ParseMode.HTML + ) +``` + +And it seems all good, the bot greets users: + +![The /hello command in action](../images/en/messages/cmd_hello_before.png) +![The /hello command in action with user Ivan Ivanov](../images/en/messages/cmd_hello_ivan_before.png) + +But then comes a user with the name <Slavik777> and the bot remains silent! And the logs show the following: +`aiogram.exceptions.TelegramBadRequest: Telegram server says - Bad Request: can't parse entities: +Unsupported start tag "Slavik777" at byte offset 7` + +Oops, we have the HTML formatting mode set, and Telegram tries to parse <Slavik777> as an HTML tag. That’s not good. +But there are several solutions to this problem. The first one: escape the passed values. + +```python +from aiogram import html +from aiogram.filters import Command + +@dp.message(Command("hello")) +async def cmd_hello(message: Message): + await message.answer( + f"Hello, {html.bold(html.quote(message.from_user.full_name))}", + parse_mode=ParseMode.HTML + ) +``` + +The second one is a bit more complicated but more advanced: use a special tool that will +collect the text and information on which parts of it should be formatted separately. + +```python +from aiogram.filters import Command +from aiogram.utils.formatting import Text, Bold + +@dp.message(Command("hello")) +async def cmd_hello(message: Message): + content = Text( + "Hello, ", + Bold(message.from_user.full_name) + ) + await message.answer( + **content.as_kwargs() + ) +``` + +In the example above, the `**content.as_kwargs()` construction will return the arguments `text`, `entities`, `parse_mode`, and +substitute them in the call to `answer()`. + +![The /hello command in action after fix](../images/en/messages/cmd_hello_after.png) + +The mentioned formatting tool is quite complex, +[the official documentation](https://docs.aiogram.dev/en/latest/utils/formatting.html) demonstrates convenient display +of complex constructs, for example: + +```python +from aiogram.filters import Command +from aiogram.utils.formatting import ( + Bold, as_list, as_marked_section, as_key_value, HashTag +) + +@dp.message(Command("advanced_example")) +async def cmd_advanced_example(message: Message): + content = as_list( + as_marked_section( + Bold("Success:"), + "Test 1", + "Test 3", + "Test 4", + marker="✅ ", + ), + as_marked_section( + Bold("Failed:"), + "Test 2", + marker="❌ ", + ), + as_marked_section( + Bold("Summary:"), + as_key_value("Total", 4), + as_key_value("Success", 3), + as_key_value("Failed", 1), + marker=" ", + ), + HashTag("#test"), + sep="\n\n", + ) + await message.answer(**content.as_kwargs()) +``` + +![Advanced example](../images/en/messages/advanced_example.png) + +!!! info "" + You can learn more about the different formatting methods and supported tags + [in the Bot API documentation](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#formatting-options). + + +### Preserving Formatting {: id="keep-formatting" } + +Let's imagine that a bot needs to receive formatted text from a user and add something of its own, such as a timestamp. We'll write a simple code snippet: + +```python +# New import! +from datetime import datetime + +@dp.message(F.text) +async def echo_with_time(message: Message): + # Get the current time in the local PC timezone + time_now = datetime.now().strftime('%H:%M') + # Create underlined text + added_text = html.underline(f"Created at {time_now}") + # Send a new message with the added text + await message.answer(f"{message.text}\n\n{added_text}", parse_mode="HTML") +``` + +![Added text (unsuccessful attempt)](../images/en/messages/keep_formatting_bad.png) + +Hmm, something went wrong. +Why did the formatting of the original message get messed up? +This happens because `message.text` returns plain text without any formatting. +To get the text in the desired format, +let's use alternative properties: `message.html_text` or `message.md_text`. +For now, we'll use the first option. +Let's replace `message.text` with `message.html_text` in the example above, +and we'll get the correct result: + +![Added text (success)](../images/en/messages/keep_formatting_good.png) + +### Working with Entities {: id="message-entities" } + +Telegram significantly simplifies the life of developers by preprocessing user messages +on its side. For example, some entities, like e-mail, phone number, username, etc., can +be extracted directly from the [Message](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#message) object +and the `entities` field, which contains an array of +[MessageEntity](https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#messageentity) objects, rather than +using [regular expressions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression). +As an example, let's write a handler that extracts a link, e-mail, +and monospaced text from a message (one of each). + +Here lies an important catch. **Telegram returns not the actual values, but their start position in the text and length**. +Moreover, the text is counted in UTF-8 characters, while entities work with UTF-16. +Because of this, if you simply take the position and length, +your processed text will be misaligned if there are UTF-16 characters (e.g., emojis). + +The example below demonstrates this best. +In the screenshot, the first bot response is the result of naive parsing, +while the second is the result of using the `extract_from()` method on the entity. +The entire original text is passed to this method: + +```python +@dp.message(F.text) +async def extract_data(message: Message): + data = { + "url": "", + "email": "", + "code": "" + } + entities = message.entities or [] + for item in entities: + if item.type in data.keys(): + # Incorrect + # data[item.type] = message.text[item.offset : item.offset+item.length] + # Correct + data[item.type] = item.extract_from(message.text) + await message.reply( + "Here's what I found:\n" + f"URL: {html.quote(data['url'])}\n" + f"E-mail: {html.quote(data['email'])}\n" + f"Code: {html.quote(data['code'])}" + ) +``` + +![Parsing entities](../images/en/messages/parse_entities.png) + +### Commands and Their Arguments {: id="commands-args" } + +Telegram [provides](https://core.telegram.org/bots/features#inputs) +users with many ways to input information. +One of them is commands: keywords that start with a slash, such as `/new` or `/ban`. +Sometimes, a bot can be designed to expect some _arguments_ after the command itself, +like `/ban 2d` or `/settimer 20h This is delayed message`. +The aiogram library includes a `Command()` filter, which makes developers' lives easier. +Let's implement the last example in code: + + +```python +@dp.message(Command("settimer")) +async def cmd_settimer( + message: Message, + command: CommandObject +): + # If no arguments are passed, + # command.args will be None + if command.args is None: + await message.answer( + "Error: no arguments passed" + ) + return + # Try to split the arguments into two parts by the first encountered space + try: + delay_time, text_to_send = command.args.split(" ", maxsplit=1) + # If less than two parts are obtained, a ValueError will be raised + except ValueError: + await message.answer( + "Error: incorrect command format. Example:\n" + "/settimer
