How to handle buttons#

To be notified when a button is pressed, you must use the bot.router.buttons object.

Link to example: buttons.py.

@bot.router.buttons()
def buttons_handler(notification: Notification) -> None:
    notification.answer_buttons("Choose a color", [
        {
            "buttonId": 1,
            "buttonText": "Red"
        },
        {
            "buttonId": 2,
            "buttonText": "Green"
        },
        {
            "buttonId": 3,
            "buttonText": "Blue"
        }
    ])


bot.run_forever()
