Struct TBGroup removed!

[kwecko]

I updated the library to version 2.1.1 and noticed that the Struct TBGroup was removed. I use the struct for read the ID of the group to that to determine group can send message to the system. So, now, How I can check the ID of message and to determine if is message valid or no, based of the ID the Group ?

Thanks!

Hi @kwecko I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I've changed a little the data organization because a group is just a chat with the ID negative, so keeping track with a specialized struct I think it's just a waste of memory most of time and the code for sending messages it's simpler an clearer if I don't have to distinguish groups from users.

You can found information about group like for a "normal" user, so if you need the ID it will be stored always in msg.chatId If you need information about member of group who sent message, you will find in msg.sender And if you need infos about members entering or leaving the groups you will find in msg.member

If you enable the debug messages you can have a clear view of all nformations sent from Telegram belong a new message. For example this is the JSON received with a message sent to my bot from a group:

{
  "update_id": 764254158,
  "message": {
    "message_id": 30783,
    "from": {
      "id": 123456789,                       // This is the ID of user who send message
      "is_bot": false,
      "first_name": "myFirstname",
      "username": "myUsername",
      "language_code": "it"
    },
    "chat": {
      "id": -1234567890,                     // This is the ID of chat: it's a negative int64 for groups
      "title": "myGroupTitle",
      "type": "group",
      "all_members_are_administrators": true
    },
    "date": 1648194423,
    "text": "ciao ciao"
  }
}
