I am fully aware I left sensitive information in the .env file. This was done on purpose so the project could be easly cloned and immediately run. There is nothing in there you can do anything melicous with...I think :)

Microsoft Graph Bot Quickstart w/ LUIS (NodeJS)

This repository holds a quickstart template for building a bot that connects to the Microsoft Graph and leverages LUIS for intents. A more simple quickstart for building bots with the Microsoft Graph without LUIS can be found HERE. Please follow the steps below to use this project.

This is not designed for production. It exists primarily to get you started quickly with learning and prototyping bots that connect to the Microsoft Graph

Please keep the above in mind before posting issues and PRs on this repo.

Working with the Microsoft Graph in a Bot

This project uses the BotAuth package(s) for handling authentication against Azure AD. BotAuth uses a magic number to secure the authentication flow, even when the bot is part of a group conversation.

Steps for using the Quickstart

1. You will start by cloning the Quickstart template into a new project folder:

git clone https://github.com/richdizz/microsoft-graph-bot-quickstart-luis.git MyProjectName

2. Next, discard the git references:

rm -rf .git  # OS/X (bash)
rd .git /S/Q # windows

3. Install packages and start the application.

npm install
npm start

4. Launch the Bot Framework Emulator (available HERE).

5. Enter the messaging endpoint for the bot project (likely http://localhost:3980/api/messages but could be a different port) and the click the "Connect" button (leave the Microsoft App ID and Microsoft App Password blank as these are for published bots).

6. Type anything to the bot and follow the prompts.

Going further

The first step in going further would be to register your own appliation at https://apps.dev.office.com. This will allow you to play with different scopes and Microsoft Graph endpoints. You should also create your own LUIS model at LUIS. The LUIS model referenced in the code has been exported and added to the solution for your reference - MsftGraphBotQuickStartLUIS.json. It is also recommended you experiment with the bot in real Bot Framework channels (vs the emulator). The Bot Framework supports a number of channels, including Facebook Messenger, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and much more. You can register a bot at https://bots.botframework.com.

An easy addition to the solution would be to query thumbnails for the files that come back. You can read more about OneDrive's thumbnail API in the Microsoft Graph HERE.
