Connecting your own custom bot

Simple Intents

If you are trying to teach masterbot a new simple intent with a static reply Open up Models/IntentDirectory.cs and edit the master_actions attribute. Set the key as the string representation of the new Intent, and the value as the key as the static reply.

e.g.

public static Dictionary<string, string> master_actions = new Dictionary<string, string>()
        {
            { "RedirectTransportation", "Sounds like you have commute questions" },
            { "RedirectLodging", "Sounds like you have lodging questions" },
            { "WhatIsLeap", "Sounds like you have questions regarding what LEAP is" },
            { "WhereIsLeap", "Leap is located in Microsoft Building 86." },
            { "None", "I'm not sure if I understood you properly." },
            { "FriendlyUser", "Hello! I am Relo. A bot here to help you with all general questions. Ask a question!" },
        };

Complex Bot

If you are building a new bot (New Luis.AI bot), you will need to create a new Bot under the models/ directory. From there, you will need to create something like this:

public class LodgingBot : LuisParser
    {
        public LodgingBot(Activity activity, string api_endpoint = "www.luis_endpoint_here.com?q=") : base(activity, api_endpoint) { }
        public override string Reply
        {
            get { return this.GetReply(); }
        }

        private string GetReply()
        {
            // This will return the Intent that luis Determines.
            return this.Intent;
        }
    }

Customize the class to your liking, then in Controllers/BotController.cs add a method to construct and set the reply attribute.

For example:

    private void handle_RedirectLodging()
        {
            LodgingBot lobot = new LodgingBot(this.userinput);
            this.reply = lobot.Reply;
        }

Then invoke it in the constructor function like so:

if (masterbot.Intent == RedirectLodging)
      {
          this.handle_RedirectLodging();
      }

You can then access the BotController.Reply property (note the capital R) from anywhere.
