## Message notifier
* Define listener function
## Creating a Telegram bot with the pyTelegramBotAPI
There are two ways to define a Telegram Bot with the pyTelegramBotAPI.
### The listener mechanism
* First, create a TeleBot instance.
```python
def listener1(*messages):
import telebot
TOKEN = '<token string>'
bot = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)
```
* Then, define a listener function.
```python
def echo_messages(*messages):
"""
Echoes all incoming messages of content_type 'text'.
"""
for m in messages:
chatid = m.chat.id
if m.content_type == 'text'
text = m.text
tb.send_message(chatid, text)
bot.send_message(chatid, text)
```
* Now, register your listener with the TeleBot instance and call TeleBot#polling()
```python
bot.set_update_listener(echo_messages)
bot.polling()
* Use ***set_update_listener*** method to add listener function to telebot.
* Start polling or call get_update(). If get new updates, telebot will call listener and pass messages to listener.
* use Message's content_type attribute to check message type. Now Message support content_type:
while True: # Don't let the main Thread end.
pass
```
* use Message's content_type attribute to check the type of Message. Now Message supports content types:
* text
* audio
* document

* sticker
* video
* location
* That's it!
### The decorator mechanism
* First, create a TeleBot instance.
```python
import telebot
TOKEN = '<token string>'
bot = telebot.TeleBot(TOKEN)
```
* Next, define all of your so-called message handlers and decorate them with @bot.message_handler
```python
# Handle /start and /help
@bot.message_handler(commands=['start', 'help'])
def command_help(message):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Hello, did someone call for help?")
# Handles all messages which text matches the regex regexp.
# See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_expression
# This regex matches all sent url's.
@bot.message_handler(regexp='((https?):((//)|(\\\\))+([\w\d:#@%/;$()~_?\+-=\\\.&](#!)?)*)')
def command_url(message):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "I shouldn't open that url, should I?")
# Handle all sent documents of type 'text/plain'.
@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: message.document.mime_type == 'text/plain', content_types=['document'])
def command_handle_document(message):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "Document received, sir!")
# Default command handler. A lambda expression which always returns True is used for this purpose.
@bot.message_handler(func=lambda message: True, content_types=['audio', 'video', 'document', 'text', 'location', 'contact', 'sticker'])
def default_command(message):
bot.send_message(message.chat.id, "This is the default command handler.")
```
* And finally, call bot.polling()
```python
bot.polling()
while True: # Don't end the main thread.
pass
```
Use whichever mechanism fits your purpose! It is even possible to mix and match.
