Each sealed-interface union with N variants used to emit N typed-string
enums, one per variant, each holding exactly one wire value. Codegen now
detects this pattern and emits ONE unified enum at the union level,
retyping every variant's discriminator field to point at it.
Unified enums (11 unions, 44 constants total):
- ChatMemberStatus (6)
- MessageOriginType (4)
- BackgroundFillType (3)
- BackgroundTypeKind (4)
- ChatBoostSourceKind (3)
- OwnedGiftType (2)
- PaidMediaType (4)
- ReactionTypeKind (3)
- RevenueWithdrawalStateKind (3)
- StoryAreaTypeKind (5)
- TransactionPartnerType (7)
Naming-collision cases (union name already ends in a discriminator
concept noun, so the natural concat would stutter): BackgroundType,
ReactionType, StoryAreaType, ChatBoostSource, RevenueWithdrawalState.
The unified name ends with 'Kind' instead.
44 obsolete per-variant single-value enum types removed (e.g.
ChatMemberOwnerStatus, MessageOriginUserType). The variant struct types
themselves (ChatMemberOwner etc.) are unchanged; only their per-variant
single-value enum aliases go away.
Auto-inject MarshalJSON (commit 370c9c0) is unaffected — variant wire
values still come from the discriminator-extractor pass.
Call-site cleanup:
- dispatch/filters/chatmember/chatmember_test.go
- api/marshaljson_variants_test.go
New test: api/unifiedenum_test.go covers ChatMemberStatus and
MessageOriginType: variant-field retype, direct comparison without
conversion, marshal discriminator preservation, full round-trip,
stutter-suffix Kind sanity check.
Sealed-interface union variants now hardcode their wire discriminator
inside a generated MarshalJSON method instead of forcing callers to set
the field on every struct literal. Drops a class of silent-rejection
bugs where a typo in the discriminator slipped past the type checker
and through to Telegram, which then rejected the request with no
Go-side signal.
The discriminator field stays exported so incoming-message decoding,
type switches and debugging still see it. MarshalJSON wraps via a
function-local type alias and emits an outer field with the same json
tag; encoding/json (and goccy/go-json) resolve the outer field as the
shallower one and override whatever the caller wrote.
99 variants get MarshalJSON. 7 are skipped because their unions
dispatch structurally rather than by a string field: Message and
InaccessibleMessage (MaybeInaccessibleMessage, dispatched on date),
and the InputMessageContent family (InputTextMessageContent,
InputLocationMessageContent, InputVenueMessageContent,
InputContactMessageContent, InputInvoiceMessageContent — Telegram
identifies these by the presence of message_text / latitude /
phone_number / title etc.).
Discriminator extraction lives in the emitter (cmd/genapi/emitter.go).
Resolution: knownDiscriminators reverse-lookup for the 13 auto-decode
unions, then doc-string analysis ("must be X" / "always “X”")
of the variant's first required string field for marker-only unions
(BotCommandScope, InputMedia, InputPaidMedia, InputProfilePhoto,
InputStoryContent, InputPollMedia, InputPollOptionMedia,
InlineQueryResult, PassportElementError). Variants the emitter cannot
resolve a discriminator for are skipped silently rather than emitting
broken code.
Internal call-site cleanups: 4 manual discriminator assignments
removed (api/unionparam_test.go,
dispatch/filters/message/message_test.go, examples/inline/main.go ×2).
Regression tests added in api/marshaljson_variants_test.go covering
type-keyed variants, source-keyed variants, the override-user-typo
guarantee, round-trip preservation through UnmarshalChatMember, the
no-discriminator InputMessageContent path, and ride-along of
non-discriminator fields.
regen-from-fixture is deterministic across two consecutive runs;
go test -race / go vet / staticcheck all clean.
The Telegram docs describe many string fields and parameters with
phrases like "can be ..., or ...", "must be one of ...", or "always X",
yet the generated Go API surface used raw `string` for every one of
them. Callers had to write magic strings or `string(api.ChatTypePrivate)`
to satisfy the field type. This change makes those fields typed Go
string enums emitted from the IR, so the IDE autocompletes valid values
and breaking-value drift surfaces at compile time.
Pipeline changes:
- internal/spec/ir.go: Field gains EnumValues []string. Empty for non-
enum fields; otherwise the wire-level values in doc order, deduped.
- cmd/scrape/enums.go: extractEnumValues recognises the curly-quoted
patterns Telegram uses ("can be either", "currently can be", "one
of", "must be", "always X") and rejects free-text quoted refs (e.g.
"Can be available only for X") via a tight gap check between the
trigger phrase and the first quoted value. parse_mode parameters
get the canonical Markdown / MarkdownV2 / HTML triple injected
because Telegram links to a separate formatting-options section
instead of listing values inline.
- cmd/genapi/enums.go: planEnums groups fields by sorted value-tuple,
picks a canonical Go enum name (most-common candidate, parent-
prefixed beats plain, shortest beats longer, alphabetical for
determinism), resolves cross-group name collisions by parent prefix.
- cmd/genapi/emitter.go + templates: goField rewrites the field type
to the planned enum name; multipartFieldEntry casts typed enum
values back to string when composing the wire map; enums.tmpl now
iterates the planned enums instead of hardcoding four hand-curated
ones; sentinelForField produces typed-constant test fixtures.
- api/enums.gen.go: regenerated from the live IR. 66 enum types, 155
constants. ParseMode, ChatType, MessageEntityType, ChatMember /
MessageOrigin / PaidMedia / Background / StoryAreaType / Reaction /
TransactionPartner / PassportElement variant Status & Type fields
are now typed.
- api/enums.go: hand-coded UpdateType (used by transport.LongPoller).
The Telegram docs do not enumerate Update payload kinds inline, so
the codegen pipeline cannot synthesise this enum.
- api/types.gen.go, api/methods.gen.go, api/methods_gen_test.go: 137
field declarations rewritten string -> typed enum.
- dispatch/, examples/: dropped every string(api.<Const>) cast. The
HasEntity filter now takes api.MessageEntityType; ChatType filter
compares typed values directly. ChatMember discriminator filter
casts variant.Status (typed per variant) to string for comparison.
- internal/spec/api.json, testdata/golden/*: regenerated and
refreshed. make regen-from-fixture is byte-deterministic across
runs.
Renames (no compat shims; v1 pre-public):
- EntityX -> MessageEntityTypeX (e.g. EntityBotCommand -> MessageEntityTypeBotCommand)
- EntityStrike -> MessageEntityTypeStrikethrough (full wire name)
