Godot-tdlib

GDExtension C++ wrapper for working with TdLib (JSON interface) on Godot Engine.

Realized Functions

1. TdJson.send (td_send from td_json_client.h)
2. TdJson.receive (td_receive from td_json_client.h)
3. TdJson.execute (td_execute from td_json_client.h)
4. TdJson.set_verbosity_level (custom function for easier adjustment of verbosity level)
5. TdJson.set_max_verbosity_level (custom function for set maximum verbosity level before Tdlib starts)
6. TdJson.set_log_callback (create custom callback for tracking changes in TdLib)

Usage

This wrapper can be used to create games or applications for integration or create alternative Telegram clients through Telegram Database Api. Look example for discover. General pattern of usage:

var client := TdJson.new()
while true:
	var result = client.receive(10.0)
	if result:
		# parse the result as a JSON object and process it as an incoming update or the answer to a previously sent request
		pass

Build (Linux, Windows)

Follow the instructions for complete build:

• Download and install python 3.9+
• Install scons with pip or other package manager
• Build TdLib packages and its dependencies (check README.md)

After that, open terminal and write this:

scons -j XXX

Where XXX - CPU cores for build parallelism.

Build (Android)

The easiest way for build is using Docker:

• Install Docker
• Build TdLib packages and its dependencies (check README.md)
• Build Dockerfile image
• Run image (check Dockerfile instruction)

Otherwise, if you want to do it manually, do this (linux):

• Download and install build-essential, python3, scons, unzip, wget, git using your package manager
• Build TdLib packages and its dependencies (check README.md)
• Write this on your terminal:

mkdir -p /opt/android/ndk/28.1.13356709
wget -q https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r28-linux.zip -O /tmp/ndk.zip
unzip -q /tmp/ndk.zip -d /tmp
cp -r /tmp/android-ndk-r28/. /opt/android/ndk/28.1.13356709/
rm -rf /tmp/ndk.zip /tmp/android-ndk-r28
scons platform=android ANDROID_HOME=/opt/android
