class Dialog:
    """
    Custom class that encapsulates a dialog (an open "conversation" with
    someone, a group or a channel) providing an abstraction to easily
    access the input version/normal entity/message etc. The library will
    return instances of this class when calling :meth:`.get_dialogs()`.

    Args:
        dialog (:tl:`Dialog`):
            The original ``Dialog`` instance.

        pinned (:obj:`bool`):
            Whether this dialog is pinned to the top or not.

        message (:tl:`Message`):
            The last message sent on this dialog. Note that this member
            will not be updated when new messages arrive, it's only set
            on creation of the instance.

        date (:obj:`datetime`):
            The date of the last message sent on this dialog.

        entity (:obj:`entity`):
            The entity that belongs to this dialog (user, chat or channel).

        input_entity (:tl:`InputPeer`):
            Input version of the entity.

        id (:obj:`int`):
            The marked ID of the entity, which is guaranteed to be unique.

        name (:obj:`str`):
            Display name for this dialog. For chats and channels this is
            their title, and for users it's "First-Name Last-Name".

        unread_count (:obj:`int`):
            How many messages are currently unread in this dialog. Note that
            this value won't update when new messages arrive.

        unread_mentions_count (:obj:`int`):
            How many mentions are currently unread in this dialog. Note that
            this value won't update when new messages arrive.

        draft (:obj:`telethon.tl.custom.draft.Draft`):
            The draft object in this dialog. It will not be ``None``,
            so you can call ``draft.set_message(...)``.
