Init.ai Node.js SDK

A Node.js utility to manage conversation logic, event invocations, and compose replies for your Init.ai application.

Requirements

• An Init.ai account and project
• A working Logic Invocation webhook
• Node.js version 4.3.2 or later (https://nodejs.org/en/download/)

Install

npm i -S initai-node

Usage

For a detailed reference, visit: https://docs.init.ai/docs/node-js-sdk

Before starting, ensure you have a webhook configured to handle a logic invocation.

Include the library in your project

const InitClient = require('initai-node')

Instantiate a client instance

The payload sent to your webhook for the LogicInvocation event (See webhooks docs) contains an Object for you to provide to your client instance.

• data: Object – The logic invocation data received from your webhook. (Docs)

const client = InitClient.create(data)

Sending the logic result

Prior to version 0.0.14, it was required that you manually send a logic invocation result to our API. With version 0.0.14, a new method sendResult was added which handles this call for you.

const client = new InitClient.create(data)
const done = () => client.sendResult().then(() => console.log('Done!'))
 
client.addResponse('provide_gametime', { team: 'Chicago Cubs' })
done()
