2.6.0

What's Changed

Update with pip: pip3 install -U pywa

• [base_update] adding shared_data to help sharing context between handlers & filters (suggested by @mhaugestad in #94)
• [flows] adding FlowStr - A helper class to create strings containing vars and math expressions without escaping and quoting them

from pywa import WhatsApp, types, filters

wa = WhatsApp(...)

@wa.on_message(filters.text, priority=100)  # a higher priority will be executed first
def on_every_text_message(_: WhatsApp, m: types.Message):
    m.shared_data["key"] = "some_value"  # .shared_data is a dict that can be used to store data between handlers
    m.continue_handling()  # continue to the next handler


# access shared_data from filters
@wa.on_message(filters.new(lambda _, m: m.shared_data["key"] == "value"))
def handle_value(_: WhatsApp, m: types.Message):
    if m.shared_data["other_key"] == "other_value":
        ...

from pywa.types.flows import *

                    TextHeading(
                        # text="`'Your total bill is ' (${form.bill} + ((${form.bill} * ${form.tip}) / 100))`",
                        text=FlowStr(
                            # avoid escaping and quoting vars and math expressions
                            string="Your total bill is {bill}",
                            bill=bill.ref + (bill.ref * tip.ref / 100),
