Readme
This client library makes it easy to create Actions for the Google Assistant and supports Dialogflow, Actions SDK (v2), and Smart Home fulfillment.
:warning: We now recommend using Actions Builder or the Actions SDK to develop, test, and deploy Conversational Actions. For Conversational Actions built using Actions Builder see the @assistant/conversation library.
Install the library with either npm install actions-on-google or yarn add actions-on-google if you use yarn.
To support features under Developer Preview, the library has a special preview branch which can be installed using the @preview tag.
This is installed with either npm install actions-on-google@preview or yarn add actions-on-google@preview.
The preview tag will be kept up to date with every new version of the library.
You can use the Developer Preview version to experience exciting new features that we’re still testing to make sure we have the best developer experience, and help us providing feedback on the API design and feature set.
The APIs offered in Developer Preview have not matured to General Availability yet, which means:
// Import the appropriate service and chosen wrappers
const {
dialogflow,
Image,
} = require('actions-on-google')
// Create an app instance
const app = dialogflow()
// Register handlers for Dialogflow intents
app.intent('Default Welcome Intent', conv => {
conv.ask('Hi, how is it going?')
conv.ask(`Here's a picture of a cat`)
conv.ask(new Image({
url: 'https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/accessibility/semantics-builtin/imgs/160204193356-01-cat-500.jpg',
alt: 'A cat',
}))
})
// Intent in Dialogflow called `Goodbye`
app.intent('Goodbye', conv => {
conv.close('See you later!')
})
app.intent('Default Fallback Intent', conv => {
conv.ask(`I didn't understand. Can you tell me something else?`)
})
// Import the appropriate service and chosen wrappers
const {
actionssdk,
Image,
} = require('actions-on-google')
// Create an app instance
const app = actionssdk()
// Register handlers for Actions SDK intents
app.intent('actions.intent.MAIN', conv => {
conv.ask('Hi, how is it going?')
conv.ask(`Here's a picture of a cat`)
conv.ask(new Image({
url: 'https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/accessibility/semantics-builtin/imgs/160204193356-01-cat-500.jpg',
alt: 'A cat',
}))
})
app.intent('actions.intent.TEXT', (conv, input) => {
if (input === 'bye' || input === 'goodbye') {
return conv.close('See you later!')
}
conv.ask(`I didn't understand. Can you tell me something else?`)
})
