@microsoft/generator-bot-empty

Yeoman generator for creating an empty bot built on the Azure Bot Framework.

The Empty Bot template creates a bot containing only a root dialog and a initial greeting dialog.

What this template is for

Use this template if you want to...

• Start from scratch, without any extraneous files to delete.
• Build your bot by composing an ad-hoc set of packages.

Packages

Your bot can use the Azure Bot Framework component model to extend the base functionality. From Composer, use the Package Manager to discover additional packages you can add to your bot.

Supported Languages

• English (en-us)

Azure Resource Deployment

This template does not rely on any additional Azure Resources.

Using this template

From Composer

From Composer you'll use the New button on the Home screen to create a new bot. After creation, Composer will guide you through making customizations to your bot. If you'd like to extend your bot with code, you can open up your bot using your favorite IDE (like Visual Studio) from the location you choose during the creation flow.

From the command-line
