Callback Data Factory & Filter

class aiogram.filters.callback_data.CallbackData[source]

Base class for callback data wrapper

This class should be used as super-class of user-defined callbacks.

The class-keyword prefix is required to define prefix and also the argument sep can be passed to define separator (default is :).

pack() str[source]

Generate callback data string

Returns:

valid callback data for Telegram Bot API

classmethod unpack(value: str) T[source]

Parse callback data string

Parameters:

value – value from Telegram

Returns:

instance of CallbackData

classmethod filter(rule: MagicFilter | None = None) CallbackQueryFilter[source]

Generates a filter for callback query with rule

Parameters:

rule – magic rule

Returns:

instance of filter

model_computed_fields: ClassVar[Dict[str, ComputedFieldInfo]] = {}

A dictionary of computed field names and their corresponding ComputedFieldInfo objects.

Usage

Create subclass of CallbackData:

class MyCallback(CallbackData, prefix="my"):
    foo: str
    bar: int

After that you can generate any callback based on this class, for example:

cb1 = MyCallback(foo="demo", bar=42)
cb1.pack()  # returns 'my:demo:42'
cb1.unpack('my:demo:42')  # returns <MyCallback(foo="demo", bar=42)>

So… Now you can use this class to generate any callbacks with defined structure

...
# Pass it into the markup
InlineKeyboardButton(
    text="demo",
    callback_data=MyCallback(foo="demo", bar="42").pack()  # value should be packed to string
)
...

… and handle by specific rules

# Filter callback by type and value of field :code:`foo`
@router.callback_query(MyCallback.filter(F.foo == "demo"))
async def my_callback_foo(query: CallbackQuery, callback_data: MyCallback):
    await query.answer(...)
    ...
    print("bar =", callback_data.bar)

Also can be used in Keyboard builder:

builder = InlineKeyboardBuilder()
builder.button(
    text="demo",
    callback_data=MyCallback(foo="demo", bar="42")  # Value can be not packed to string inplace, because builder knows what to do with callback instance
)

Another abstract example:

class Action(str, Enum):
    ban = "ban"
    kick = "kick"
    warn = "warn"

class AdminAction(CallbackData, prefix="adm"):
    action: Action
    chat_id: int
    user_id: int

...
# Inside handler
builder = InlineKeyboardBuilder()
for action in Action:
    builder.button(
        text=action.value.title(),
        callback_data=AdminAction(action=action, chat_id=chat_id, user_id=user_id),
    )
await bot.send_message(
    chat_id=admins_chat,
    text=f"What do you want to do with {html.quote(name)}",
    reply_markup=builder.as_markup(),
)
...

@router.callback_query(AdminAction.filter(F.action == Action.ban))
async def ban_user(query: CallbackQuery, callback_data: AdminAction, bot: Bot):
    await bot.ban_chat_member(
        chat_id=callback_data.chat_id,
        user_id=callback_data.user_id,
        ...
    )

Known limitations

Allowed types and their subclasses:

  • str

  • int

  • bool

  • float

  • Decimal (from decimal import Decimal)

  • Fraction (from fractions import Fraction)

  • UUID (from uuid import UUID)

  • Enum (from enum import Enum, only for string enums)

  • IntEnum (from enum import IntEnum, only for int enums)

Note

Note that the integer Enum’s should be always is subclasses of IntEnum in due to parsing issues.
