Quickstart

Before you begin

Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
Enable billing for your project.
Enable the Dialogflow CX API API.
Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/dialogflow-cx

Using the client library

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
 */
// const projectId = 'my-project';
// const location = 'global';
// const agentId = 'my-agent';
// const audioFileName = '/path/to/audio.raw';
// const encoding = 'AUDIO_ENCODING_LINEAR_16';
// const sampleRateHertz = 16000;
// const languageCode = 'en'

// Imports the Google Cloud Some API library
const {SessionsClient} = require('@google-cloud/dialogflow-cx');
/**
 * Example for regional endpoint:
 *   const location = 'us-central1'
 *   const client = new SessionsClient({apiEndpoint: 'us-central1-dialogflow.googleapis.com'})
 */
const client = new SessionsClient();

const fs = require('fs');
const util = require('util');
// Assumes uuid module has been installed from npm,
// npm i uuid:
const {v4} = require('uuid');

async function detectIntentAudio() {
  const sessionId = v4();
  const sessionPath = client.projectLocationAgentSessionPath(
    projectId,
    location,
    agentId,
    sessionId
  );

  // Read the content of the audio file and send it as part of the request.
  const readFile = util.promisify(fs.readFile);
  const inputAudio = await readFile(audioFileName);

  const request = {
    session: sessionPath,
    queryInput: {
      audio: {
        config: {
          audioEncoding: encoding,
          sampleRateHertz: sampleRateHertz,
        },
        audio: inputAudio,
      },
      languageCode,
    },
  };
  const [response] = await client.detectIntent(request);
  console.log(`User Query: ${response.queryResult.transcript}`);
  for (const message of response.queryResult.responseMessages) {
    if (message.text) {
      console.log(`Agent Response: ${message.text.text}`);
    }
  }
  if (response.queryResult.match.intent) {
    console.log(
      `Matched Intent: ${response.queryResult.match.intent.displayName}`
    );
  }

Samples

Samples are in the samples/ directory. Each sample's README.md has instructions for running its sample.

The Dialogflow CX API Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version).

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

Legacy tags available

legacy-8: install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GA libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
