Help Parser

HelpParser is built-in Telegrask module which parses /help command automatically. To disable this feature you have to set bot.config["HELP_MESSAGE"] = False (where bot is instance of Telegrask class.

We recommend to use bot.help object which is default instance of HelpParser class.

@custom_help_command

This is another Telegrask decorator which is helpful when you want to create own help command.

from telegram import Update
from telegram.ext import CallbackContext

@bot.custom_help_command
def help(update: Update, context: CallbackContext, commands):
    # commands is a dict {"command_name": "command_description", ...}
    # reference for `bot.help.commands_descriptions`
    pass

Helpful Hacks

  • bot.help.header = "Custom help message header"

  • bot.help.help_description = "custom /help command description"
