ConversationBot class

  • Reference
Package:
@microsoft/teamsfx

Provide utilities for bot conversation, including:

  • handle command and response.
  • send notification to varies targets (e.g., member, group, channel).

Example

For command and response, you can register your commands through the constructor, or use the registerCommand and registerCommands API to add commands later.

import { BotBuilderCloudAdapter } from "@microsoft/teamsfx";
import ConversationBot = BotBuilderCloudAdapter.ConversationBot;

// register through constructor
const conversationBot = new ConversationBot({
  command: {
    enabled: true,
    commands: [ new HelloWorldCommandHandler() ],
  },
});

// register through `register*` API
conversationBot.command.registerCommand(new HelpCommandHandler());

For notification, you can enable notification at initialization, then send notifications at any time.

import { BotBuilderCloudAdapter } from "@microsoft/teamsfx";
import ConversationBot = BotBuilderCloudAdapter.ConversationBot;

// enable through constructor
const conversationBot = new ConversationBot({
  notification: {
    enabled: true,
  },
});

// get all bot installations and send message
for (const target of await conversationBot.notification.installations()) {
  await target.sendMessage("Hello Notification");
}

// alternative - send message to all members
for (const target of await conversationBot.notification.installations()) {
  for (const member of await target.members()) {
    await member.sendMessage("Hello Notification");
  }
}

Remarks

Set adapter in ConversationOptions to use your own bot adapter.

For command and response, ensure each command should ONLY be registered with the command once, otherwise it'll cause unexpected behavior if you register the same command more than once.

For notification, set notification.storage in ConversationOptions to use your own storage implementation.
