Draft: Add reaction constants

[megum1n]

What

Just like in #179, it would be great to have constants for all available reactions. I've added new dependency to get reaction name from the emoji string.

Alternatives

• Find JSON with all emojis somewhere on github, which has a map with emoji labels. Scrub trough it to find names for emojis
• Generate such file ourselves via scrape script in https://github.com/PaulSonOfLars/telegram-bot-api-spec
• There might be an easier way to do that w/o additional dependencies, but I couldn't find it 😓

Impact

• Are your changes backwards compatible? Y
• Have you included documentation, or updated existing documentation? Y
• Do errors and log messages provide enough context? N/A

No third party library bloat; only uses standard library.

No third party library bloat; only uses standard library.

gotgbot package itself still won't use any bloat. Only script to generate code will use external package.

Hey, thank you for your patience on my reply.

I know what you mean by thi not adding dependencies in practice, but it is in the root go.mod file, so there is a questionmark there. Would be best if they weren't there...

One option would be to make the generation files their own module; could we try creating some new go.mod and go.sum files for the codegen only? That should allow us to separate things as needed, and keep the lib dependency-free :)

How about make another repo for plugins or handlers need extra deps like python-telegram-bot has ptbcontrib?

[PaulSonOfLars]

@liuerfire That is indeed something I've considered.

Happy to open one up if theres demand :) What kind of things would people be looking for?

• emoji constants
• logging tools?
• Rate limit wrappers? That kind of thing?

the most I want is persistent states for conversation :-)
