ask-channel-providers

Channel adapters for messaging platforms in the ask-rb ecosystem. It defines a uniform adapter interface for receiving and sending messages, approvals, and rich cards, plus a cross-platform card system. Only Telegram is implemented today; other platforms can be added by subclassing the adapter.

gem "ask-channel-providers"

require "ask-channel-providers"

adapter = Ask::ChannelProviders::Telegram::Adapter.new(
  token: "your_telegram_bot_token",
  allowed_users: [],
  allowed_chats: []
)

adapter.start do |msg|
  # msg is { chat_id:, user_id:, text:, session_key: }
  adapter.send_message(msg[:chat_id], "Echo: #{msg[:text]}")
end

• Ask::ChannelProviders::Adapter - base class for channel adapters. Implement start(config:, &on_message) (the callback receives { chat_id:, user_id:, text:, session_key: }), stop, send_message, edit_message, request_approval, and send_card.
• Ask::ChannelProviders::Telegram::Adapter - the Telegram implementation, backed by the polling-based Telegram::Bot. Config: token, allowed_users, allowed_chats.
• Ask::ChannelProviders::Card - a structured UI element each adapter renders to its native format. Build cards with section, text, button(label, callback:, url:), table(header:, rows:), and divider.
• Ask::ChannelProviders::Error, ConfigurationError, and APIError - errors raised by channel adapters.
