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')

}]

);
