I built a Java-based Telegram bot to post pizza messages. Now I want it to reply to ‘/choosePizza’ with recommendations. How can I integrate command responses?
public class PizzaResponder {
public static void main(String[] args) {
BotEngine engine = new BotEngine("YOUR_API_TOKEN");
engine.onCommand("/choosePizza", () -> engine.sendText("Try a Pepperoni!"));
engine.startEngine();
}
}
I implemented a similar feature in a project that involved dynamic command responses for a Telegram bot. One technique I found useful was to create a dedicated command manager that maps each command to its own method. This allowed for easier maintenance and expansion, such as when adding more commands beyond just recommending pizza. Additionally, I handled invalid commands through a default response, ensuring users always received feedback. The core idea is to maintain clean separation of concerns, which significantly simplifies debugging and future feature additions.
