var restify = require('restify');
var builder = require('botbuilder');
//=========================================================
// Bot Setup
//=========================================================
// Setup Restify Server
var server = restify.createServer();
server.listen(process.env.port || process.env.PORT || 3978, function () {
console.log('%s listening to %s', server.name, server.url);
});
// Create chat bot
var connector = new builder.ChatConnector({
appId: <Your App ID>
appPassword: <Your App Secret>
});
var bot = new builder.UniversalBot(connector);
server.post('/api/messages', connector.listen());
bot.dialog('/', function (session) {
session.send("Hello World");
});
The IntentDialog class lets you listen for the user to say a specific keyword or phrase.
bot.dialog('/study', new builder.IntentDialog()
.matches(/^ready/i, [
function (session) {
session.send(quiz.Terms[index])
}])
.matches(/^flip/i, [
function(session) {
session. send(quiz.Def[index])
}]
)
…...........
);
Session object is passed to your dialog handlers any time your bot receives a message from the user.
The session object is the primary mechanism used to manage messages received from and sent to the user.
bot.dialog('/', function (session) {
session.send("Hello! Welcome to the MHacks Quiz Bot. Would you like to study today?")
session.beginDialog('/user');
});
@Saelia
bot.dialog('/subject', [
function (session) {
setTimeout(function(){
builder.Prompts.text(session, "What study set would you like today?" + quiz.Sets);
}, 2000)
},
function (session, results) {
quiz.GetTerms(results.response);
session.send("Ok! I got your flashcards! Send 'ready' to begin. Send 'flip' for definition. Send 'next'
for the next card. Send 'exit' when you are done")
session.beginDialog('/study')
}]
);
Different return types of prompts available:
builder.Prompts.text(session, "What's your name?");
builder.Prompts.number(session, "How many do you want?");
builder.Prompts.time(session, "When is your appointment?");
builder.Prompts.choice(session, "Which color?", "red|green|blue");
bot.dialog('/subject', [
function (session) {
setTimeout(function(){
builder.Prompts.text(session, "What study set would you like today?" + quiz.Sets);
}, 2000)
},
function (session, results) {
quiz.GetTerms(results.response);
session.send("Ok! I got your flashcards! Send 'ready' to begin. Send 'flip' for definition. Send 'next'
for the next card. Send 'exit' when you are done")
session.beginDialog('/study')
}]
);
