Send a menu to a chat id

See original GitHub issue

Describe your goal I wan’t to send the user a menu from external events, so no context exists. Is this even possible?

I’m sorry if this question is a duplicate and I missed the issue where this is covered!

When I saw that function in the readme i wondered why telegram had to be supplied on the resulting function each time. Like “that should have been refactored”… Looks like it was but someone (ehm…) forgot to update that. Thanks for your time looking into that!

You need the same Context as the MenuTemplate<Context> has. That can be anything. (The Template is different to the MenuMiddleware<Context extends TelegrafContext> which requires the context to be at least what Telegraf offers.)

Because of that you can create very simple templates requiring only a few things in the context (or even nothing). Everything your Template uses from the context has to be provided. MenuMiddleware provides the context of Telegraf for the Template. If you send the menu yourself you have to provide the context yourself. But you can decide what has to be in there.

For example if your template uses the session then someone has to provide the session into the context. If you don’t use the session from the template, you don’t need to provide it.
