Bot Framework Components

This repository contains components published by Microsoft for bots built on the Azure Bot Framework technology stack. They are part of the component model for building bots with re-usable building blocks. The model is built on a configurable adaptive runtime, that can be extended by adding your own code, importing packages of functionality or connecting to other bots as skills. Getting started templates provide dynamic code scaffolding, helping users get started quickly based on their scenario.

Using Components

You'll primarily use components through Bot Framework Composer - our visual bot authoring canvas for developers. From Composer you can add and remove packages from your bot, and the creation process creates bots built from the templates here.

Creating your own components

You can also create your own packages and templates for use from Composer. We document creating components here. You can also check out our samples.
