Integrates API.AI and Facebook Messenger

A light integration of Api.ai and Messenger for custom Node.js apps.

Installation

`npm install api-messenger`

Usage

Instantiate api_messenger

var apiMessenger = require('api-messenger');

Route Fb messages to API.AI. Directly send API.AI responses to Fb Messenger.

/* Sending message to api.ai and processing the response */
apiai.on('response', (response) => { 
	apiMessenger.send(recipientId, response);
});

More customisable: functions that format API.AI response into Messenger JSON.

apiMessenger.text(recipientId, aiMessage.speech);
apiMessenger.card(recipientId, aiMessage, developer_payload);
apiMessenger.quickReply(recipientId, aiMessage, developer_payload);
etc...

For a detailed set up, see examples folder.

Tests

`npm test`

Contributing

Add unit tests for new functions. Please refactor and feel free to restyle current formatting.
Future improvement: allow users to set welcome text, initial screen, menus, etc.
Future improvement: allow for API.AI to send custom payloads, e.g. sending files/attachements, etc. Future improvement: Enable callback functions.
