The goal of this test is to connect Microsoft's Adaptive Expression from BotFramework into our own homebrew NodeJS chatbot framework based on XState.
Once you start the project, you should be able to test by sending a POST request to the bot:
POST http://localhost:3000/bot/main/messages
{
"sender": "simon",
"message": "/greet{\"scene\": \"default\"}"
}
You should see a response. However, if you try to send this, the bot will not respond:
POST http://localhost:3000/bot/main/messages
{
"sender": "simon",
"message": "/greet{\"scene\": \"special\"}"
}
You should see from the error message that, there is a condition in the state machine that is not fully defined. Instead of directly define it in the BotGuards class, we would like to use Microsoft's adaptive-expressions library to parse the condition label directly and automatically set up the guards at startup.
Since there isn't much documentation for adaptive-expressions, one of the best ways to understand is to try to run a BotFramework bot and see how the library is used in BotFramework.
