EBA Client

This repository hosts source code for a websocket based client interface for EBA written in Node.js. For documentation on how to connect to EBA in headless mode please follow these instructions. For more information on EBA itself, please visit our home: https://eba.ai.

Installation

npm install https://github.com/ibm-watson-embedded-business-assistant/eba-node-client

Usage

For a full usage example of the client, check out of our console application

// require and construct
const _ = reqiure('lodash')
const eba = require('eba-client')
const client = new eba.Client(settings.url)

// listen for messages
client.on('message', (message) => {
    console.log(message)
})

// listen for logs
client.on('log', (text) => {
    console.log(text)
})

// example interaction logic
function interact() {
    rl.question('', (text) => {
        client.ask(text)
        _.defer(interact)
    })
}

// given access token start session and run interact
client
    .start({ access_token })
    .then(() => {
        console.log('type your question or hit Ctrl+D to exit')
        interact()
    })
    .catch((ex) => {
        console.error('unable to connect:')
        console.error(`${ex}`)
        process.exit(1)
    })
