Readme
General Bots is a package based chat bot server focused in convention
over configuration and code-less approaches, which brings software packages
and application server concepts to help parallel bot development.
Everyone can create bots by just copying and pasting some files and using their favorite tools like Excel (or any text editor) or Photoshop (or any image editor).
Bot Server accelerates the process of developing a bot. It provisions all code base, resources and deployment to the cloud, and gives you templates you can choose from whenever you need a new bot. The server has a database and service backend allowing you to further modify your bot package directly by downloading a zip file, editing and uploading it back to the server (deploying process) with no code. The Bot Server also provides a framework to develop bot packages in a more advanced fashion writing custom code in editors like Visual Studio Code, Atom or Brackets.
GeneralBots aims to delivery bots in azure in a very easy and fast fashion. Use Office tools like Word or Excel to edit your Bot - using code (JavaScript or TypeScript) just to empower custom requirements.
npm install -g botserver
and press ENTER;gbot
to run the server core.Notes:
git clone <your-forked-repository-url>/BotServer.git
;npm install
on Command Prompt or PowerShell on the General Bots source-code folder;npm install
folled by npm run build
(To build default Bot UI);npm start
.Note:
The subjects.json file contains all information related to the subject tree and can be used to build the menu carrousel as well give a set of words to be used as subject catcher in the conversation. A hierarchy can be specified.
A theme is composed of some CSS files and images. That set of files can change everything in the General Bots UI. Use them extensively before going to change the UI application itself (HTML & JS).
Embraces all packages types (content, logic & conversation) into a pluggable bot directory.
The artificial intelligence extensions in form of pluggable apps. Dialogs, Services and all model related to data. A set of interactions, use cases, integrations in form of conversationals dialogs. The .gbapp adds the General Bots base library (botlib) for building Node.js TypeScript Apps packages.
Four components builds up a General Bots App:
All code contained in a dialog builds the flow to custom conversations in built-in and additional packages .
Models builds the foundation of data relationships in form of entities.
Services are a façade for bot back-end logic and other custom processing.
Tests try to automate code execution validation before crashing in production.
An expression of an artificial inteligence entity. A .gbot file defines all bots dependencies related to services and other resources.
A theme of a bot at a given time. CSS files & images that can compose all UI presentation and using it a branding can be done.
A set of subjects that bot knows.
Shared code that can be used across bot apps.
General Bots can be controlled by the same chat window people talk to, so here is a list of admin commands related to deploying .gb* files.
