Yet another generator to scaffold your chatbot application.

Zumata-specific yeoman generator for scaffolding a chatbot application using Facebook Messenger and Dialogflow.

Setup

Pre-requisites

Please make sure that you have the followings installed on your machine:

• node >= 8.9.0 (In Zumata, we internally use the latest LTS version (node:carbon) for all our Node.js applications.)
• npm >= 5.5.1 (The minimum NPM version for node:carbon.)
• eslint >= 4.0.0 (No guarantee it will work below the version specified here)
• eslint-plugin-import >= 2.0.1 (No guarantee it will work below the version specified here)
• ESLint extension for your favorite text editor

Installation

NPM

First, install generator-zumata-chatbot using npm (we assume you have pre-installed node.js).

# Install with NPM
$ npm install -g yo generator-zumata-chatbot

Then generate your new project:

# Create a new directory if you haven't already.
# Then change to that new directory.
$ mkdir my-chatbot-app && cd my-chatbot-app

# Init with yo
$ yo zumata-chatbot

NPX

npx comes in a package as of node 8.9.0. This means that you can run any CLI written in Node.js without globally installing it.

# Create a new directory if you haven't already.
# Then change to that new directory.
$ mkdir my-chatbot-app && cd my-chatbot-app

# Install packages with NPX and execute the CLI with this one-liner
$ npx -p yo -p generator-zumata-chatbot -- yo zumata-chatbot
