Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
* reply in transition

- Now users can use voxa2 style transitions with `reply`

Also:
- removed unused `ask-sdk` and `ask-sdk-core` dependencies, we only need
`ask-sdk-model`
- started using prettier
- removed the Rendering system support for random, this is now handled
in the directives

* Lint

* Ignoring typedoc errors

* Working on the Docs

* Adding more documentation about the transitions

* More work on the docs

* More docs
  • Loading branch information

In Voxa the alexaEvent object makes ``intent.slots`` available through ``intent.params`` after aplying a simple transformation so ``{ slots: [{ name: 'Dish', value: 'Fried Chicken' }] }`` becomes ``{ Dish: 'Fried Chicken' }``, in other platforms it does it best to make the intent params for each platform also available on ``intent.params``

``directives``
--------------

Directives are used passed directly to the alexa response, the format is described in `the alexa documentation <https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-voice-service/reference/interaction-model#interfaces>`_
Directives is an array of directive objects that implement the ``IDirective`` interface, they can make modifications to the reply object directly

.. code-block:: javascript
const { PlayAudio } = require('voxa').alexa;
return {
directives: [{
type: 'AudioPlayer.Play',
playBehavior: 'REPLACE_ALL',
audioItem: {
stream: {
token: lesson.id,
url: lesson.Url,
offsetInMilliseconds: 0,
}
}
}],
directives: [new PlayAudio(url, token)],
};
``flow``
--------

The ``flow`` key can take one of three values:

``continue``:
This is the default value if the flow key is not present, it merely continues the state machine execution with an internal transition, it keeps building the response until a controller returns a ``yield`` or a ``terminate`` flow.

``yield``:
This stops the state machine and returns the current response to the user without terminating the session.

``terminate``:
This stops the state machine and returns the current response to the user, it closes the session.


``say``
-------

Used to render a view and add the result to the response


``reprompt``
------------

Used to render a view and add the result to the response as a reprompt


``reply``
---------

The ``reply`` key can take 2 forms, a simple string pointing to one of your views or a :ref:`Reply <voxa-reply>` object.

.. code-block:: javascript
return { reply: 'LaunchIntent.OpenResponse' };
