Stategram is a framework for bulding telegram bots using a state machine.

Some of the features:

• ASP.NET-inspired
• Asynchronous
• Fluent syntax
• Dependency injection
• Middleware
• Overridable interfaces

The repo is at a very early stage, so please refer to the Examples/ for now. Contributions are very welcome

The user's state is made up of the outer state and the inner state. The outer state specifies the controller that will handle the next user's request. The inner state specifies the method inside the controller that will handle the next user's request.

Controllers are decoupled from eachother; while the inner state can be easily switched within a single controller, transitions between different controllers are configured externally. This allows for rapid development of new features while keeping the code well-isolated and maintanable.

Stateful request-handling methods have the signature Task<Transition> MethodName(). The returned Transition object specifies how the state is changed.

• Transition.Stay() retains the state until the next request.
• Transition.Inner(NextMethod) switches the inner state.
• Transition.Outer(ReturnedSymbol) specifies the symbol that is produced by the outer state, which gets picked up by the externally configured state machine.
