This sample demonstrates how to create an Action for the Google Assistant -- using Actions SDK in Node.js and deployed on Cloud Functions for Firebase.
- Node.js and NPM
- We recommend installing using NVM
- Install the Firebase Functions CLI
- We recommend using version 6.5.0,
npm install -g firebase-tools@6.5.0
- Run
firebase login
with your Google account
- We recommend using version 6.5.0,
- Install the gactions CLI
- You may need to grant execute permission, ‘chmod +x ./gactions’
- From the Actions on Google Console, new project (this will become your Project ID) > Create project > under More options select Actions SDK > keep the Use Actions SDK to add Actions window open, will revisit in a later step.
- On your local machine, in the
functions
directory, runnpm install
- Run
firebase deploy --project {PROJECT_ID}
, replace {PROJECT_ID} to deploy the functionFunction URL (webhook): https://${REGION}-${PROJECT_ID}.cloudfunctions.net/webhook
- Update the action package,
action.json
, replacing the placeholder valueYOUR_ENDPOINT_URL
with the value for Function URL obtained from the previous step. - From the top level directory in this sample, run
gactions update --action_package action.json --project {PROJECT_ID}
with your Project ID. - Back in the Actions console, from the pop up window > select OK.
- From the top menu click Test to open the Actions on Google simulator then say or type
Talk to my test app
.
- You can test your Action on any Google Assistant-enabled device on which the Assistant is signed into the same account used to create this project. Just say or type, “OK Google, talk to my test app”.
- You can also use the Actions on Google Console simulator to test most features and preview on-device behavior.
- Questions? Go to StackOverflow, Assistant Developer Community on Reddit or Support.
- For bugs, please report an issue on Github.
- Actions on Google Documentation
- Actions on Google Codelabs.
