Microsoft Bot Framework

Create a bot API key

Each bot needs its own API key for tracking.

Create a bot to get an API key. Make sure to choose Microsoft as the platform.

NOTE: Currently Dashbot only works with bot framework v4

Install Dashbot via NPM

npm install --save dashbot

Include Dashbot

Use the API key created above.

const dashbot = require('dashbot')(process.env.DASHBOT_API_KEY).microsoft;

Use Dashbot Middleware for MS Bot Framework

const adapter = new BotFrameworkAdapter({
    appId: process.env.MicrosoftAppId,
    appPassword: process.env.MicrosoftAppPassword
}); 
adapter.use(dashbot.middleware());

Example

Once you install the Dashbot npm module, you can take a look at node_modules/dashbot/src/microsoft-botframework-example.js for a working example.

Integrate Dashbot with Luis to capture intents

const adapter = new BotFrameworkAdapter({
    appId: process.env.MicrosoftAppId,
    appPassword: process.env.MicrosoftAppPassword
});
const model = new LuisRecognizer({
  appId: process.env.LuisAppId,
  subscriptionKey: process.env.LuisSubscriptionKey,
  serviceEndpoint: 'https://westus.api.cognitive.microsoft.com'
});
adapter.use(model);
adapter.use(dashbot.middleware(model));
