Quick Example
In this example we can see the basis of a simple bot which responds to the keywords sent by a user, the words are: info, hello, hi. You can see how to create the bot and implement the flows.
import { createBot, createProvider, createFlow, addKeyword, MemoryDB } from '@builderbot/bot'
import { BaileysProvider } from '@builderbot/provider-baileys'
const welcomeFlow = addKeyword<BaileysProvider, MemoryDB>(['hello', 'hi'])
.addAnswer('Ey! welcome')
.addAnswer(`Send image from URL`, { media: 'https://i.imgur.com/0HpzsEm.png' })
const main = async () => {
const adapterDB = new MemoryDB()
const adapterFlow = createFlow([welcomeFlow])
const adapterProvider = createProvider(BaileysProvider)
const { handleCtx, httpServer } = await createBot({
flow: adapterFlow,
provider: adapterProvider,
database: adapterDB,
})
httpServer(3000)
adapterProvider.server.post('/v1/messages', handleCtx(async (bot, req, res) => {
const { number, message } = req.body
await bot.sendMessage(number, message, {})
return res.end('send')
}))
}
main()
