Possibility to pass a specific yaml_reply file name to send_replies

[Luiz Carvalho]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
would be extremely useful if we can pass to send_replies method a specific yaml_reply name in cases with expensive task or reuse a specific yaml_reply, etc

Describe the solution you'd like

  def say_meus_atendimentos
    send_replies('wait_reply')
   @data = Google.search('stealth chatbots')
    send_replies
  end

Or

  def say_meus_atendimentos
   @data = Google.search('stealth chatbots')
    if @data
       send_replies
    else
      send_replies('no_results')
    end    
  end

and many others cases

In https://github.com/hellostealth/stealth/blob/master/lib/stealth/controller/replies.rb, something like this, maybe works.

(...)
def send_replies(yml_reply_file_name = nil)
yaml_reply, preprocessor = action_replies(yml_reply_file_name)
(...)

      def action_replies(yml_reply_file_name=nil)
        reply_dir = [*self._replies_path, replies_folder]
        reply_filename = "#{yml_reply_file_name || current_session.state_string}.yml"

(...)

Hi @luizcarvalho, you should be able to do all of this via the replies themselves.

Just make sure you add the .erb extension to your reply file. So reply.yml should be named reply.yml.erb. It can then contain Ruby code:

<% if current_message.message == "Sometimes" %>
- reply_type: delay
  duration: <%= SHORT_DELAY %>
- reply_type: text
  text: "Sometimes"
<% else %>
- reply_type: delay
  duration: <%= SHORT_DELAY %>
- reply_type: text
  text: "Always"
<% end %>
