Usage

The SDK currently assumes you are using Alexa Skills Kit for NodeJS

import EchoHubAlexaSDK from 'echohub-alexa-sdk';

const echohub = new EchoHubAlexaSDK();

const languageStrings = {
  'en-US': {
    translation: {
      HELLO: 'Hi! Welcome to my cool skill using EchoHub'
      TIME: 'The time is {{time}}'
    },
  },
};

const handlers = {
  TimeIntent() {
    args = {
      a: 1.
    }

    echohub.execute('mycommand', args).then((response) => {
      if (response.errorType) {
        EchoHubApi.handleError(alexa, response);
        return;
      }

      this.emit(:tell, this.t('RESPONSE', { time: response.time });
    }
  },
};

export default (event, context) => {
  const alexa = Alexa.handler(event, context);
  alexa.appId = process.env.ALEXA_SKILL_ID;
  // If you don't localise your own module just don't pass anything below
  alexa.resources = EchoHubApi.languageStrings(languageStrings);

  echohub.handler(event, context);

  alexa.registerHandlers(handlers);
  alexa.execute();
};
