Building a Telegram Bot
This class, which employs the class Dispatcher, provides a
front-end to class Bot to the programmer, so you can focus on
coding the bot. Its purpose is to receive the updates from Telegram and to
deliver them to said dispatcher. The dispatcher supports
Handler classes for different kinds of data: Updates from
Telegram, basic text commands and even arbitrary types. See
add (+) to learn more about building your
Updater.

## Not run:
updater <- Updater(token = "TOKEN")
# In case you want to set a proxy (see ?httr:use_proxy)
updater <- Updater(
token = "TOKEN",
request_config = httr::use_proxy(...)
)
# Add a handler
start <- function(bot, update) {
bot$sendMessage(
chat_id = update$message$chat_id,
text = sprintf(
"Hello %s!",
update$message$from$first_name
)
)
}
updater <- updater + CommandHandler("start", start)
# Start polling
updater$start_polling(verbose = TRUE) # Send '/start' to the bot
