Bots

Represent all the modules about bot's answers and its specific types with an intention already given

Overview

• messageTypes --> Represent the answers type
• common.js --> Manage the responses
• utils.js --> Utility function

Add a new intent and response

• Create new file in the corresponding directory:

  • if your intent is an answer to a message send by the user add a new file in messageTypes/message

    • This new file must export a class with a static function with this prototype static action(senderId, message, entities, res) and return a promise (see below).
    • In the exported object, the name of the key must be the intent name

  • if it's a response from a postback action button so create a new file in messageTypes/postback.

    • This new file must export a array of objects containing this two properties:
      • regx<String>: the pattern the regex should be matching.
      • action (senderId, postback, regx, entities, res)<function>: the function which is going to be called and return a promise (see below).

• The return structure must be an object containing this properties:

  • feedback: a boolean indicating if a request for feedback is needed
  • responses: an array of objects (or promises) from generics
