This can be thought of as a different approach to Flask's blueprints.

Events without decorators
Events Without the client
*************************
If for any reason you can't use the `@client.on
<telethon.client.updates.UpdateMethods.on>` syntax, don't worry.
You can call `client.add_event_handler(callback, event)
<telethon.client.updates.UpdateMethods.add_event_handler>` to achieve
the same effect.
The code of your application starts getting big, so you decide to
separate the handlers into different files. But how can you access
the client from these files? You don't need to! Just `events.register
<telethon.events.register>` them:
.. code-block:: python
# handlers/welcome.py
from telethon import events
@events.register(events.NewMessage('(?i)hello'))
async def handler(event):
client = event.client
await event.respond('Hey!')
await client.send_message('me', 'I said hello to someone')
Registering events is a way of saying "this method is an event handler".
You can use `telethon.events.is_handler` to check if any method is a handler.
You can think of them as a different approach to Flask's blueprints.
It's important to note that this does **not** add the handler to any client!
You never specified the client on which the handler should be used. You only
declared that it is a handler, and its type.
To actually use the handler, you need to `client.add_event_handler
<telethon.client.updates.UpdateMethods.add_event_handler>` to the
client (or clients) where they should be added to:
.. code-block:: python
# main.py
from telethon import TelegramClient
import handlers.welcome
with TelegramClient(...) as client:
client.add_event_handler(handlers.welcome.handler)
client.run_until_disconnected()
This also means that you can register an event handler once and
then add it to many clients without re-declaring the event.
Events Without Decorators
*************************
If for any reason you don't want to use `telethon.events.register`,
you can explicitly pass the event handler to use to the mentioned
`client.add_event_handler
<telethon.client.updates.UpdateMethods.add_event_handler>`:
.. code-block:: python
from telethon import TelegramClient, events
async def handler(event):
...
with TelegramClient(...) as client:
client.add_event_handler(handler, events.NewMessage)
client.run_until_disconnected()
Similarly, you also have `client.remove_event_handler
<telethon.client.updates.UpdateMethods.remove_event_handler>`
and `client.list_event_handlers
<telethon.client.updates.UpdateMethods.list_event_handlers>`.
The ``event`` type is optional in all methods and defaults to
The ``event`` argument is optional in all three methods and defaults to
`events.Raw <telethon.events.raw.Raw>` for adding, and ``None`` when
removing (so all callbacks would be removed).
.. note::
Stopping propagation of Updates
The ``event`` type is ignored in `client.add_event_handler
<telethon.client.updates.UpdateMethods.add_event_handler>`
if you have used `telethon.events.register` on the ``callback``
before, since that's the point of using such method at all.
