==========================
Migration FAQ (1.4 -> 2.0)
==========================

This update make breaking changes in aiogram API and drop backward capability with previous versions of framework.

From this point aiogram supports only Python 3.7 and newer.

Changelog
=========

- Used contextvars instead of `aiogram.utils.context`;
- Implemented filters factory;
- Implemented new filters mechanism;
- Allowed to customize command prefix in CommandsFilter;
- Implemented mechanism of passing results from filters (as dicts) as kwargs in handlers (like fixtures in pytest);
- Implemented states group feature;
- Changed files uploading mechanism;
- Implemented I18n Middleware;
- Errors handlers now should accept only two arguments (current update and exception);
- Used `aiohttp_socks` instead of `aiosocksy` for Socks4/5 proxy;
- `types.ContentType` was divided to `types.ContentType` and `types.ContentTypes`;

- (**in process**) Implemented utils for Telegram Passport;
- (**in process**) Webhook security improvements;
- (**in process**) Updated examples.


Instructions
============

Contextvars
-----------
Context utility (`aiogram.utils.context`) now is removed due to new features of Python 3.7 and all subclasses of :obj:`aiogram.types.base.TelegramObject`, :obj:`aiogram.Bot` and :obj:`aiogram.Dispatcher` has `.get_current()` and `.set_current()` methods for getting/setting contextual instances of objects.

Example:

.. code-block:: python

    async def my_handler(message: types.Message):
        bot = Bot.get_current()
        user = types.User.get_current()
        ...

Filters
-------

Custom filters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Now `func` keyword argument can't be used for passing filters to the list of filters instead of that you can pass the filters as arguments:

.. code-block:: python

    @dp.message_handler(lambda message: message.text == 'foo')
    @dp.message_handler(types.ChatType.is_private, my_filter)
    async def ...


Filters factory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Also you can bind your own filters for using as keyword arguments:

.. code-block:: python

    from aiogram.dispatcher.filters import BoundFilter

    class MyFilter(BoundFilter):
        key = 'is_admin'

        async def check(self, message: types.Message):
            member = await bot.get_chat_member(message.chat.id, message.from_user.id)
            return member.is_admin()

    dp.filters_factory.bind(MyFilter)

    @dp.message_handler(is_admin=True)
    async def ...


Customize commands prefix
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Commands prefix can be changed by following one of two available methods:

.. code-block:: python

    @dp.message_handler(commands=['admin'], commands_prefix='!/')
    @dp.message_handler(Command('admin', prefixes='!/'))
    async def ...

Passing data from filters as keyword arguments to the handlers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can pass any data from any filter to the handler by returning :obj:`dict`
If any key from the received dictionary not in the handler specification the key will be skipped and and will be unavailable from the handler

.. code-block:: python

    async def my_filter(message: types.Message):
        # do something here
        return {'foo': 'foo', 'bar': 42}

    @dp.message_handler(my_filter)
    async def my_message_handler(message: types.Message, bar: int):
        await message.reply(f'bar = {bar}')

Other
~~~~~
Filters can also be used as logical expressions:

.. code-block:: python

    Text(equals='foo') | Text(endswith='Bar') | ~Text(contains='spam')


States group
------------

You can use States objects and States groups instead of string names of the states.
String values is still also be available.

Writing states group:

.. code-block:: python

    from aiogram.dispatcher.filters.state import State, StatesGroup

    class UserForm(StatesGroup):
        name = State()  # Will be represented in storage as 'Form:name'
        age = State()  # Will be represented in storage as 'Form:age'
        gender = State()  # Will be represented in storage as 'Form:gender'

After that you can use states as `UserForm.name` and etc.


File uploading mechanism
------------------------
Fixed uploading files. Removed `BaseBot.send_file` method. This allowed to send the `thumb` field.

I18n Middleware
---------------
You can internalize your bot by following next steps:

First usage
~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Extract texts

    .. code-block:: bash

        pybabel extract i18n_example.py -o locales/mybot.pot

2. Create `*.po` files. For e.g. create `en`, `ru`, `uk` locales.
3. Translate texts
4. Compile translations

    .. code-block:: bash

        pybabel compile -d locales -D mybot

Updating translations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you change the code of your bot you need to update `po` & `mo` files:

1. Regenerate pot file:

    .. code-block:: bash

        pybabel extract i18n_example.py -o locales/mybot.pot

2. Update po files

    .. code-block:: bash

        pybabel update -d locales -D mybot -i locales/mybot.pot

3. Update your translations
4. Compile `mo` files

    .. code-block:: bash

        pybabel compile -d locales -D mybot

Error handlers
--------------
Previously errors handlers had to have three arguments `dispatcher`, `update` and `exception` now `dispatcher` argument is removed and will no longer be passed to the error handlers.


Content types
-------------

Content types helper was divided to `types.ContentType` and `types.ContentTypes`.

In filters you can use `types.ContentTypes` but for comparing content types you must use `types.ContentType` class.
