Documentation

You can find the documentation directly on the Telegram website or you can read it in the vgram source code. See methods.v and types.v.

Call a method using:

bot_instance.method_name(
    method_arg1: "some text"
    method_arg1: 123 // or int
)

- *bot_instance* can be created using bot_instance := vgram.Bot{"TOKEN"} or bot_instance.new_bot("TOKEN")
- *method_name* and *method_args* shoud be in snake_case

Thats it. You are ready to go.
