StaticMedia

StaticMedia allows you to share media files by their path os URLs. Though address supports string interpolation as it can be Text widget, other parameters remain static.

You can use it providing path or url to the file, it’s ContentType and additional parameters if required. Also you might need to change media type (type=ContentType.Photo) or provide any additional params supported by aiogram using media_params

Be careful using relative paths. Mind the working directory.

from aiogram.types import ContentType

from aiogram_dialog import Window
from aiogram_dialog.widgets.media import StaticMedia

windows = Window(
    StaticMedia(
        path="/home/tishka17/python_logo.png",
        type=ContentType.PHOTO,
    ),
)

It will look like:

../../../_images/static_media.png

For more complex cases you can read source code of StaticMedia and create your own widget with any logic you need.

Note

Telegram allows to send files using file_id instead of uploading same file again. This make media sending much faster. aiogram_dialog uses this feature and caches sent file ids in memory

If you want to persistent file_id cache, implement MediaIdStorageProtocol and pass instance to your dialog registry
