use SergioItem\Telegram\Interfaces\TelegramBotWebhookManagerInterface;

class TelegramBotWebhookManagerService implements TelegramBotWebhookManagerInterface
{
    /**
     * @param string $text
     * @param null $data
     * @return string
     */
    public function manageResponseMessage(string $text, $data = null)
    {
        switch (strtolower($text)) {
            case 'hi':
            case 'hello':
                return 'Hi ' . $data->firstName . '! welcome to this bot';
                break;
            case 'chat':
            case 'id':
                return 'Your chat id is: ' . $data->chatId;
                break;

            default:
                // return null; // No message will be sent
                return 'Sorry, I couldn\'t understand your message.';
                break;
        }
    }

}
