I'm trying to do an InlineKeyboard which has multiple options that then send a dice depending on which button you pressed
As I'm using CallbackQuery the only methods available to send some sort of response are edit_text_ and there isn't any type of 'dice' or sticker to send. Is there any other way to handle the button so that I can send the dice back to the user?
async def start(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE) -> None:
keyboard = [
[
InlineKeyboardButton("Dice", callback_data="1"),
InlineKeyboardButton("Basket", callback_data="2"),
],
[InlineKeyboardButton("test", callback_data="3")],
]
reply_markup = InlineKeyboardMarkup(keyboard)
await update.message.reply_text("Please choose:", reply_markup=reply_markup)
async def button(update: Update, context: ContextTypes.DEFAULT_TYPE):
query = update.callback_query
await query.answer()
if query.data == '1':
await update.callback_query.edit_message_text(query.data)
#I want to do so that here it sends the dice back
else:
await query.edit_message_text(text=f"Selected option: {query.data}")
Note that inline buttons can be attached to messages sent by users - namely when these messages are generated via the inline mode. In those cases, the message can be sent in a chat where the bot isn't even a participant. Hence, the CallbackQuery class doesn't have any direct shortcuts to send messages as reply to it.
However, if the callback query is originating from a button attached to a message sent by the bot itself, the attribute CallbackQuery.message is an instance of the Message and you can use the shortcuts methods like Message.reply_text.
In addition to that, you can ofc course call any method of the Bot class. An instance of that class is always available via context.bot.
