Bot config¶

Main configuration¶

The configuration of the bot can be specified in several ways.

Config¶

Create a Config instance:

from signalbot import SignalBot, Config, ConnectionMode

config = Config(
    signal_service="http://localhost:8080",
    phone_number="+1234567890",
)

bot = SignalBot(config)
bot.start()

Dictionary¶

Create a python dictionary:

from signalbot import SignalBot, Config

config = {
    "signal_service": "http://localhost:8080",
    "phone_number": "+1234567890",
}

bot = SignalBot(config)
bot.start()

Yaml file¶

Create a YAML configuration file:

config.yml

signal_service: "http://localhost:8080"
phone_number: "+1234567890"

Then load it:

from signalbot import SignalBot

bot = SignalBot("config.yml")
bot.start()

Json file¶

Create a JSON configuration file:

config.json

{
    "signal_service": "http://localhost:8080",
    "phone_number": "+1234567890",
}

Then load it:

from signalbot import SignalBot

bot = SignalBot("config.json")
bot.start()

Storage type options¶

There are also several storage backends that can be used to handle data persistance.

In-memory¶

Stores data in memory only. Data is lost when the bot restarts. Useful for development and testing.

config.yml

signal_service: "http://localhost:8080"
phone_number: "+1234567890"
storage:
    type: "in-memory"

SQLite¶

Persists data to a local SQLite database.

config.yml

signal_service: "http://localhost:8080"
phone_number: "+1234567890"
storage:
    type: "sqlite"
    sqlite_db: "./data/bot.db"

Redis¶

Persists data to Redis database.

config.yml

signal_service: "http://localhost:8080"
phone_number: "+1234567890"
storage:
    type: "redis"
    redis_host: "localhost"
    redis_port: 6379
