50th Challenge

Challenge

Today the challenge is to create a telegram bot that displays a random number between 0 and 100.

Solution :white_check_mark:

This was failry simple but fun. The hard work was done by the teloxide cargo.

    use teloxide::prelude::*;
    use rand::Rng;

    #[tokio::main]
    async fn main() {

        pretty_env_logger::init();

        let bot = Bot::from_env().auto_send();

        teloxide::repl(bot, |message: Message, bot: AutoSend<Bot>| async move {
            let random_number = rand::thread_rng().gen_range(0..100);
            bot.send_message(message.chat.id,format!("{}",random_number)).await?;
            respond(())
        })
            .await;
    }

Once we define the token setup by the botfather we can start the bot and interact with it which looks like the following:
