Helper Classes

TextContent - Quick Text Formatting

Static helper for creating formatted text patterns used in text messages.

Available Methods:

from pywayne.lark_bot import TextContent

# @mentions
at_all = TextContent.make_at_all_pattern()
at_user = TextContent.make_at_someone_pattern("ou_xxxx", "John", "open_id")

# Text styles
bold = TextContent.make_bold_pattern("Bold text")
italic = TextContent.make_italian_pattern("Italic text")
underline = TextContent.make_underline_pattern("Underlined text")
strikethrough = TextContent.make_delete_line_pattern("Strike text")

# Links
link = TextContent.make_url_pattern("https://example.com", "Click here")

Example: Formatted Notification:

from pywayne.lark_bot import LarkBot, TextContent

bot = LarkBot(app_id="cli_xxx", app_secret="sec_xxx")

message = (
    TextContent.make_at_someone_pattern("ou_xxxx", "Wayne", "open_id")
    + " "
    + TextContent.make_bold_pattern("Deployment completed")
    + " - "
    + TextContent.make_url_pattern("https://jenkins.example.com", "View build")
)

bot.send_text_to_chat("oc_xxxx", message)

PostContent - Rich Text Post Builder

Builder for complex structured rich text messages supporting text, links, @mentions, images, code blocks, and Markdown content.

post = PostContent(title="Post Title")

Content Creation Methods:

# Text with optional styles
text = post.make_text_content("Text", styles=["bold", "underline", "lineThrough", "italic"])

# Hyperlink
link = post.make_link_content("Display text", "https://example.com")

# @mention
at = post.make_at_content("ou_xxxx", styles=["bold"])

# Image
img = post.make_image_content("img_key")

Lightweight builder for Feishu schema 2.0 interactive cards, ideal for announcements, reports, and status updates with Markdown content.

Constructor:

from pywayne.lark_bot import CardContentV2

card = CardContentV2(
    title="Card Title",      # Optional header title
    template="blue"          # Header color: "blue", "wathet", "turquoise", "green", "yellow", "orange", "red", "carmine", "violet", "purple", "indigo", "grey"
)

Methods:

Common Header Templates:

• blue
• wathet
• turquoise
• green
• yellow
• orange
• red
• carmine
• violet
• purple
• indigo
• grey

Example: Daily Report Card:

from pywayne.lark_bot import LarkBot, CardContentV2

bot = LarkBot(app_id="cli_xxx", app_secret="sec_xxx")

# Build card
card = CardContentV2(title="Daily Report", template="blue")

card.add_markdown("""
# Today's Progress

- ✅ API integration completed

bot.send_interactive_to_chat("oc_xxx", card.get_card())

Core Messaging Methods

Recommended Entry Point: send_markdown_to_chat

The preferred high-level method for sending Markdown content with automatic chunking, table handling, and dual routing (card_v2/post).

responses = bot.send_markdown_to_chat(
    chat_id: str,
    md_text: str,
    *,
    title: str = "",
    prefer: str = "card_v2",              # "card_v2" or "post"
    table_fallback: str = "code_block",   # "code_block" or "md" (for post route)
    max_message_bytes: Optional[int] = None
) -> List[Dict]

Parameters:

• chat_id: Target chat ID
• md_text: Markdown content
• title: Message title
• prefer: Route preference:
  • "card_v2" (default): Send as schema 2.0 interactive card (supports most Markdown)
  • "post": Send as rich text post (supports table fallback)
• table_fallback: How to render Markdown tables in post route:
  • "code_block": Convert tables to fixed-width text blocks (stable, recommended)
  • "md": Keep tables as Markdown (may have layout issues)
• max_message_bytes: Per-message byte limit (defaults: 18k for card_v2, 8k for post)

Returns: List of API response dicts for all sent chunks

Example 1: Simple Markdown (Default card_v2):

md = """
# Deployment Complete

- API: v1.2.3
- Frontend: v2.4.5
- Database: migrated

✅ All services healthy
"""

bot.send_markdown_to_chat(
    "oc_xxx",
    md_text=md,
    title="Deployment Status"
)

Example 2: Markdown with Tables (Post route with fallback):

md = """
## Test Results

| Module   | Status | Coverage |
| -------- | ------ | -------- |
| Auth     | ✅     | 95%      |
| Payment  | ✅     | 87%      |
| API      | ⚠️     | 72%      |
"""

bot.send_markdown_to_chat(
    "oc_xxx",
    md_text=md,
    title="Test Report",
    prefer="post",                    # Use post for table support
    table_fallback="code_block"       # Convert table to fixed-width text
)

Example 3: Long Markdown Auto-Chunking:

# Very long markdown content
long_md = "\n".join([f"## Section {i}\n\n" + "- " * 50 for i in range(50)])

# Automatically split into multiple messages
responses = bot.send_markdown_to_chat(
    "oc_xxx",
    md_text=long_md,
    title="Long Report",
    prefer="card_v2",
    max_message_bytes=10000  # Custom chunk size
)

print(f"Sent {len(responses)} message chunks")

Why Use send_markdown_to_chat?

• Handles large content automatically
• Tables render reliably with fallback
• Single API for both card and post routes
• No manual JSON construction
• Consistent chunking and encoding

Message Lifecycle Management

Reply to Message

Reply to an existing message with quote/reference.

response = bot.reply_message(
    message_id: str,
    msg_type: str,                                    # "text", "image", "post", "interactive", etc.
    content: Union[str, Dict[str, Any], List[Any]],
    *,
    reply_in_thread: bool = False,                    # Reply in thread instead of main chat
    uuid: str = ""
) -> Dict

Examples:

# Reply with text
bot.reply_message("om_xxx", "text", {"text": "Received your message"})

# Reply with card
from pywayne.lark_bot import CardContentV2

card = CardContentV2(title="Processing")
card.add_markdown("Your request is being processed...")

bot.reply_message("om_xxx", "interactive", card.get_card())

# Reply in thread
bot.reply_message(
    "om_xxx",
    "text",
    {"text": "Thread reply"},
    reply_in_thread=True
)

Forward Message

Forward an existing message to another user or chat.

response = bot.forward_message(
    message_id: str,
    receive_id: str,
    *,
    receive_id_type: str = "chat_id",  # "chat_id" or "open_id"
    uuid: str = ""
) -> Dict

Example:

# Forward alert to on-call engineer
bot.forward_message(
    message_id="om_alert_xxx",
    receive_id="ou_engineer_xxx",
    receive_id_type="open_id"
)

Recall Message

Recall/delete a message sent by the bot.

response = bot.recall_message(message_id: str) -> Dict

Example:

# Send temporary status message
msg = bot.send_text_to_chat("oc_xxx", "Processing...")

# Later recall it
bot.recall_message(msg["message_id"])

Get Message

Retrieve details of a specific message.

response = bot.get_message(
    message_id: str,
    *,
    user_id_type: str = "open_id"
) -> Dict

Get Message List

Retrieve historical messages from a chat.

response = bot.get_message_list(
    chat_id: str,
    start_time: str,           # Unix timestamp in milliseconds
    end_time: str,             # Unix timestamp in milliseconds
    *,
    sort_type: str = "",       # "ByCreateTimeAsc" or "ByCreateTimeDesc"
    page_size: int = 50,
    page_token: str = ""
) -> Dict

Example:

# Get messages from last 24 hours
import time

end_time = str(int(time.time() * 1000))
start_time = str(int((time.time() - 86400) * 1000))

history = bot.get_message_list(
    chat_id="oc_xxx",
    start_time=start_time,
    end_time=end_time,
    sort_type="ByCreateTimeAsc"
)

for msg in history.get("items", []):
    print(msg["message_id"], msg["msg_type"])

Update Message

Replace entire message content.

response = bot.update_message(
    message_id: str,
    msg_type: str,
    content: Union[str, Dict[str, Any], List[Any]]
) -> Dict

Patch Message

Partially update message content (commonly used for interactive cards).

response = bot.patch_message(
    message_id: str,
    content: Union[str, Dict[str, Any], List[Any]]
) -> Dict

Update Interactive Card

Convenience wrapper for updating interactive cards in place.

response = bot.update_interactive_card(
    message_id: str,
    card: Dict[str, Any]
) -> Dict

Example: Status Card Workflow:

from pywayne.lark_bot import CardContentV2

# Send initial "processing" card
card = CardContentV2(title="Task Status", template="blue")
card.add_markdown("⏳ Processing your request...")

msg = bot.send_interactive_to_chat("oc_xxx", card.get_card())

# ... perform task ...

# Update to "completed" card
completed_card = CardContentV2(title="Task Status", template="green")
completed_card.add_markdown("✅ Task completed successfully!")

bot.update_interactive_card(msg["message_id"], completed_card.get_card())

In-Place Streaming Cards

Use these helpers when a reply should stay in one message while the content keeps growing, such as LLM output, multi-step jobs, or approval workflows.

card = bot.build_streaming_card(
    md_text: str,
    *,
    title: str = "",
    template: str = "blue",
    streaming: bool = True,
    status_text: str = "",
    max_chunk_bytes: int = 18_000
) -> Dict[str, Any]

reply = bot.reply_streaming_card(
    message_id: str,
    *,
    title: str = "Streaming Reply",
    template: str = "blue",
    initial_md: str = "",
    reply_in_thread: bool = False,
    uuid: str = "",
    status_text: str = "Generating...",
    max_chunk_bytes: int = 18_000
) -> Dict

response = bot.update_streaming_card(
    message_id: str,
    md_text: str,
    *,
    title: str = "Streaming Reply",
    template: str = "blue",
    done: bool = False,
    status_text: str = "",
    max_chunk_bytes: int = 18_000
) -> Dict

response = bot.recolor_streaming_card(
    message_id: str,
    md_text: str,
    *,
    title: str = "Streaming Reply",
    template: str = "green",
    status_text: str = "Done",
    done: bool = True,
    max_chunk_bytes: int = 18_000
) -> Dict

result = bot.stream_reply_card(
    source_message_id: str,
    text_stream: Iterable[Any],
    *,
    title: str = "Streaming Reply",
    template: str = "blue",
    initial_md: str = "",
    reply_in_thread: bool = False,
    uuid: str = "",
    update_interval: float = 0.25,
    status_text: str = "Generating...",
    final_status_text: str = "",
    final_template: Optional[str] = "green",
    max_chunk_bytes: int = 18_000
) -> Dict[str, Any]

result = await bot.astream_reply_card(
    source_message_id: str,
    text_stream: AsyncIterable[Any],
    *,
    title: str = "Streaming Reply",
    template: str = "blue",
    initial_md: str = "",
    reply_in_thread: bool = False,
    uuid: str = "",
    update_interval: float = 0.25,
    status_text: str = "Generating...",
    final_status_text: str = "",
    final_template: Optional[str] = "green",
    max_chunk_bytes: int = 18_000
) -> Dict[str, Any]

Important Behavior:

• update_streaming_card() expects the full current Markdown text, not only the newest delta chunk.
• stream_reply_card() and astream_reply_card() coerce each chunk to text, so str, bytes, and other printable values can all be streamed.
• Card updates are rate-limited by Feishu. Keep update_interval above zero and lower it only when the UX benefit is worth the extra traffic.
• final_template="green" is the easiest way to turn a running blue card into a completed green card automatically.
• CardContentV2.list_header_templates() gives you the built-in common template names when you want to switch status colors safely.

Example 1: Preview a Streaming Card Before Sending:

card = bot.build_streaming_card(
    md_text="Step 1 complete\nStep 2 running",
    title="Migration Progress",
    template="orange",
    streaming=True,
    status_text="Waiting for final checks..."
)

bot.send_interactive_to_chat("oc_xxx", card)

Example 2: Manual Start, Multiple Updates, Final Recolor:

reply = bot.reply_streaming_card(
    "om_xxx",
    title="Incident Analysis",
    template="blue",
    initial_md="Collecting logs...",
    status_text="Working..."
)

card_message_id = reply["message_id"]

bot.update_streaming_card(
    card_message_id,
    "Collecting logs...\n\n- API logs loaded\n- Worker logs loaded",
    title="Incident Analysis",
    template="blue"
)

bot.update_streaming_card(
    card_message_id,
    "Collecting logs...\n\n- API logs loaded\n- Worker logs loaded\n- Root cause isolated",
    title="Incident Analysis",
    template="blue",
    status_text="Preparing summary..."
)

bot.recolor_streaming_card(
    card_message_id,
    "## Incident Summary\n\n- Root cause: expired credential\n- Fix: rotated secret\n- Follow-up: add alerting",
    title="Incident Analysis",
    template="green",
    status_text="Completed"
)

Example 3: Synchronous Generator for Token-Style Output:

import time

def fake_stream():
    for chunk in ["Hello", ", ", "this ", "reply ", "streams ", "in place."]:

Complete Usage Examples

Example 1: Comprehensive Release Workflow

from pywayne.lark_bot import LarkBot, CardContentV2

bot = LarkBot(app_id="cli_xxx", app_secret="sec_xxx")

chat_id = "oc_xxx"

# Step 1: Send initial status card
card = CardContentV2(title="Deployment Status", template="blue")
card.add_markdown("⏳ Deployment started...")

msg = bot.send_interactive_to_chat(chat_id, card.get_card())
message_id = msg["message_id"]

# Step 2: Update progress
import time
time.sleep(5)

progress_card = CardContentV2(title="Deployment Status", template="blue")
progress_card.add_markdown("📦 Building Docker images... 50%")

bot.update_interactive_card(message_id, progress_card.get_card())

# Step 3: Update to completion
time.sleep(5)

done_card = CardContentV2(title="Deployment Status", template="green")
done_card.add_markdown("""
✅ Deployment completed successfully!

**Services Updated**:
- API: v1.2.3
- Frontend: v2.4.5
- Worker: v1.1.1

**Health Check**: All systems operational
""")

bot.update_interactive_card(message_id, done_card.get_card())

# Step 4: Pin the final status
bot.pin_message(message_id)

Example 2: Interactive Support Ticket

from pywayne.lark_bot import LarkBot, TextContent

bot = LarkBot(app_id="cli_xxx", app_secret="sec_xxx")

# User asks question in chat
# (Triggered by LarkBotListener - see lark-bot-listener skill)

# Reply with acknowledgment
reply_msg = bot.reply_message(
    "om_user_question",
    "text",
    {"text": "Processing your request..."}
)

# Add reaction to original question
bot.add_reaction("om_user_question", "THUMBSUP")

# Process request...
answer = "The solution is to restart the service"

# Update reply with answer
bot.update_message(
    reply_msg["message_id"],
    "text",
    {"text": f"✅ {answer}"}
)

# Pin the solution
bot.pin_message(reply_msg["message_id"])

# Remove processing reaction
# (reaction_id would be stored from add_reaction response)

Example 3: Alert Forwarding with Urgency

# Alert detected
alert_msg = bot.send_text_to_chat(
    "oc_alerts",
    "🔴 CRITICAL: Database connection timeout"
)

# Forward to on-call engineer
bot.forward_message(
    alert_msg["message_id"],
    "ou_oncall",
    receive_id_type="open_id"
)

# Send urgent notification
bot.urgent_message(
    alert_msg["message_id"],
    "app",
    ["ou_oncall"]
)

Example 4: Dynamic Chat Creation and Management

# Create incident response chat
incident_chat = bot.create_chat(
    name="Incident #1234 - DB Outage",
    user_open_ids=["ou_engineer_a", "ou_engineer_b", "ou_manager"],
    description="Emergency response for database outage",
    owner_open_id="ou_manager"
)

chat_id = incident_chat["chat_id"]

# Set admins
bot.set_chat_admin(chat_id, ["ou_engineer_a"], is_admin=True)

# Send initial briefing
from pywayne.lark_bot import CardContentV2

briefing = CardContentV2(title="Incident Briefing", template="red")
briefing.add_markdown("""
**Incident**: Database connection timeout
**Start Time**: 2026-03-12 14:35:00
**Impact**: Production API down
**Status**: Investigating

**Action Items**:
- Check database logs
- Review recent deployments
- Monitor connection pool
""")

bot.send_interactive_to_chat(chat_id, briefing.get_card())

# After incident resolved...
bot.update_chat(
    chat_id,
    name="[RESOLVED] Incident #1234 - DB Outage",
    description="Incident resolved - database connection restored"
)

Example 5: Using send_markdown_to_chat with Tables

from pywayne.lark_bot import LarkBot

bot = LarkBot(app_id="cli_xxx", app_secret="sec_xxx")

# Markdown report with table
report = """
# Weekly Test Report

Common Patterns

Pattern: Temporary Status Message

# Send status
status_msg = bot.send_text_to_chat("oc_xxx", "⏳ Processing...")

# Do work...
import time
time.sleep(3)

# Recall temporary message
bot.recall_message(status_msg["message_id"])

# Send final result
bot.send_text_to_chat("oc_xxx", "✅ Processing complete")

Pattern: Reaction-Based Workflow

# Add "processing" reaction
reaction = bot.add_reaction("om_xxx", "WITTY")

try:
    # Process request
    result = process_request()
    
    # Reply with result
