# Routing
you will begin by defining routes in your app/routes/bot.php file
<?php
use botfire\botfire\Route;
Route::call('alert','botController->alert');
Route::call('message','botController->message');
Route::text('/start','botController->mainMessage');
Route::notFound('botController->mainMessage');
# text method
You must use the text method when performing an operation based on the text sent to the robot
Route::text('/start','botController->mainMessage');
Route::text('menu','botController->sendMenu');
Route::text('create project','botController->newProject');
# call method
If you use the inline button, create routes using the call method
Route::call('show-product','botController->sendProductList');
Route::call('product/{id}','botController->showProductInfo');
TIP
In the inline button you can easily send values
To get May values, we use the get method in the bot class
// send a message whith inline button and value
$k = bot::keyboard()->btn('show product','product/12')->row();
bot::this()->message('product code : 12')->keyboard($k)->send();
When the user clicks on the show product button, we can receive the sent values using bot::get('id')
TIP
Several different values can be sent
Send a message whith inline button and two values
$k = bot::keyboard()->btn('Add Card','add-to-card/12/5')->row();
bot::this()->message('.....')->keyboard($k)->send();
route
Route::call('add-to-card/{product_id}/{user_id}','botController->addToCard');
Get a value when the user clicks on the button
<?php
namespace app\controllers;
use botfire\botfire\bot;
class botController
{
public function addToCard(){
$product_id = bot::get('product_id');
$user_id = bot::get('user_id');
// code ...
}
}
