Router Masterbot Tools

This module provides Wingbot Processor plugins extending the Wingbot core functionality. In the project such plugin is initialized in the following way:

const { Processor } = require('wingbot');
const { PLUGIN_CLASS } = require('router-masterbot-tools');

const processor = new Processor(...);
processor.plugin(new PLUGIN_CLASS());

SharedContextPlugin

The purpose of this plugin is to simplify handling of a shared context in a multi bot environment. The plugin ensures the following functionality:

1. The shared context sent by the router in the pass_thread_control event is available in req.sharedContext and it is also stored in the conversation state.

2. Adds the method setSharedContext(data: Object) to the Responder object. This method enables to inform the router about the shared context update. The method also updates the local copy of the shared context in the conversation state. The shared context is not overwritten but merged.

3. Overrides Responder.trackAsSkill() to store the skill not only in the conversation state but also in the shared context. Additionally, it saves appId in shared context every time a skill is stored.
