Context

Container context

Anywhere in the application you can call the currentContainerContext() (or currentContainerContextOrNull()) method to get info about the current command, step, chat and user. It works only if you don`t change coroutine context between BotHandling and currentContainerContext(). For example:

fun BotHandling.startCommand() {
    command("/start") {
        printContext()
    }
}

suspend fun printContext() {
    val currentContext = currentContainerContext()

    // prints "COMMAND"
    println(currentContext.type)
    // prints "/start"
    println(currentContext.step)
    // prints "User(id=123, isBot=false, firstName=., lastName=., username=.,...)"
    println(currentContext.from)
    // prints "Chat(id=123, type=private, title=null, username=., firstName=.,...)"
    println(currentContext.chat)
}
