Configuring bot with console hosting

Configuring bot with console hosting

In the case of using console hosting, bot will use LongPolling to receive updates.

Sample code:

static void Main(string args)
{
    ConsoleBotHost consoleBotHost = ConsoleBotHost
        .CreateDefault(args)
        .WithBot(BuildMyBot);

    consoleBotHost.OnBotStarted += (o, e) => Console.WriteLine("Bot has been started.");
    consoleBotHost.OnBotStopped += (o, e) => Console.WriteLine("Bot has been stopped.");

    consoleBotHost.OnUpdateProcessed += (o, e) =>
        Console.WriteLine(
            $"Update with id {e.ProcessingResult.Update.Id} and {e.ProcessingResult.Update.Type} type has been processed in {e.ProcessingResult.Time}.");

    consoleBotHost.OnErrorOccured += (o, e) =>
        Console.WriteLine(e.Exception, "An error was occured when receiving/processing an update.");

    consoleBotHost.Run();

    while (true)
    {
        System.Console.ReadKey();
        consoleBotHost.Stop();
    }
}


public IBot BuildMyBot(BotConfigurationOptions options)
{
    //Configure bot here.
}

In this case, your application should start with command line parameters like: MyBotApp.exe --apiToken Your_Bot_Api_Token --botName YourBotName.
