From 3.x to 4.x

Estimated Upgrade Time: 1.5 Hours

Updating dependencies

Likelihood Of Impact: High

PHP 8.2.0 required

Nutgram now requires PHP 8.2.0 or greater.

Laravel support moved in another package

Starting from the latest update, the Laravel support for Nutgram has been moved to a new package. To continue utilizing Laravel functionality in Nutgram, it is necessary to install the composer package "nutgram/laravel":

composer require nutgram/laravel

To streamline the integration process, the previous package nutgram/nutgram is now included within the nutgram/laravel package.
This means that if you install nutgram/laravel, you can safely remove nutgram/nutgram as it is already incorporated.

Enums

Attributes to Enums

Likelihood Of Impact: Medium

The Attributes (Class with constants) have been converted to Enums. If you were previously using the value directly, now you will need to use ->value to obtain the raw value.

Renamed namespace

Likelihood Of Impact: Medium

The namespace has been renamed using Properties name:

- use SergiX44\Nutgram\Telegram\Attributes\X;
+ use SergiX44\Nutgram\Telegram\Properties\X;

Naming

Likelihood Of Impact: Medium

The names of the enums are now in singular form.

Nutgram config

Config parameter

Likelihood Of Impact: High

The constructor of the Nutgram class now accepts the Configuration class as the second parameter.

- $bot = new Nutgram('TOKEN', [
- 'timeout' => 5
- ]);
+ $bot = new Nutgram('TOKEN', new Configuration(
+ clientTimeout: 5
+ ));

split_long_messages option

Likelihood Of Impact: Medium

The feature "Split long text message to multiple messages" has been removed and replaced by the Chunked endpoints: sendChunkedMessage, sendChunkedPhoto, sendChunkedAudio, sendChunkedDocument, sendChunkedVideo, sendChunkedAnimation, and sendChunkedVoice.

Types

StickerSet object

Likelihood Of Impact: Low

The deprecated contains_mask property from StickerSet object has been removed. Use sticker_type property instead.

Custom types

Likelihood Of Impact: Low

We have made a complete revision by replacing our custom-created objects, namely EditedMessage, ChannelPost, and EditedChannelPost, with the Message object within the Update. This change applies to their respective properties: edited_message, channel_post, and edited_channel_post.

Endpoints

Signature

Likelihood Of Impact: Very High

The conversion of all endpoint signatures from array to parameters enables the convenient utilization of named parameters. Moreover, the parameter sorting will be configured in a way that mandatory parameters come first, followed by optional ones, while the $clientOpt parameter, if present, will always be placed at the end.

You'll need to convert the usages from the old logic to the new one like this example:

- $bot->sendMessage('my text', [
- 'disable_notification' => true
- ]);
+ $bot->sendMessage('my text',
+ disable_notification: true
+ );

Group method

Likelihood Of Impact: High

The group method has been modified from the old logic, where it accepted the middleware as a parameter, to the new logic, where the middleware is set using the middleware method.

The updated code would be as follows:

- $bot->group(Middleware::class, function (Nutgram $bot){
- // Your handlers here
- });
+ $bot->group(function (Nutgram $bot){
+ // Your handlers here
+ })->middleware(Middleware::class);

Handlers

onPoll handler

Likelihood Of Impact: Medium

The deprecated onPoll handler has been removed. Instead, you need to use onUpdatePoll handler:

- $bot->onPoll(YourPollHandler::class);
+ $bot->onUpdatePoll(YourPollHandler::class);

Case sensitive pattern

Likelihood Of Impact: Medium

The $pattern parameter used in the specified handlers: onCallbackQueryData, onPreCheckoutQueryPayload, onSuccessfulPaymentPayload, onText, onCommand, onException and onApiError is now case sensitive.

Persisting data

setData & getData

Likelihood Of Impact: Medium

The methods setData and getData have been renamed to set and get respectively.
