Memory Storage

Built-in in-memory storage that requires no external dependencies. Data is lost when the process exits.

Usage

import (
    "github.com/mtgo-labs/storage"
    tg "github.com/mtgo-labs/mtgo/telegram"
)

store := storage.NewMemoryStorage()

client, _ := tg.NewClient(apiID, apiHash, &tg.Config{
    BotToken:    botToken,
    SessionName: "my_bot",
    Storage:     store,
    InMemory:    true,
    SavePeers:   true,
})

When to Use

• Testing — no file system or database needed
• Ephemeral bots — short-lived processes that don't need persistence
• Development — quick iteration without database setup

When NOT to Use

• Production bots — session data is lost on restart, requiring re-authentication
• Multi-process deployments — memory is not shared between processes
• Long-running userbots — auth key loss means re-login

With InMemory Config

Combine InMemory: true with MemoryStorage for a fully in-memory client:

client, _ := tg.NewClient(apiID, apiHash, &tg.Config{
    SessionString: sessionStr,
    InMemory:      true,
    Storage:       storage.NewMemoryStorage(),
    SavePeers:     true,
})

This creates a client with no file system footprint — everything stays in process memory.
