Methods

.configure

def self.configure() { |config| ... } -> Client::Configuration

Configure the Conversations Client class.

See Configuration for a description of the configuration fields.

Yields
  • (config) — Configure the Client client.
Yield Parameter
Returns
Example 
# Modify the configuration for all Conversations clients
::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversations::Client.configure do |config|
  config.timeout = 10.0
end

#complete_conversation

def complete_conversation(request, options = nil) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation
def complete_conversation(name: nil) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation

Completes the specified conversation. Finished conversations are purged from the database after 30 days.

Overloads 
def complete_conversation(request, options = nil) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation
Pass arguments to complete_conversation via a request object, either of type Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::CompleteConversationRequest or an equivalent Hash.
Parameters
  • request (::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::CompleteConversationRequest, ::Hash) — A request object representing the call parameters. Required. To specify no parameters, or to keep all the default parameter values, pass an empty Hash.
  • options (::Gapic::CallOptions, ::Hash) — Overrides the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, etc. Optional. 
def complete_conversation(name: nil) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation
Pass arguments to complete_conversation via keyword arguments. Note that at least one keyword argument is required. To specify no parameters, or to keep all the default parameter values, pass an empty Hash as a request object (see above).
Parameter
  • name (::String) — Required. Resource identifier of the conversation to close. Format: projects/<Project ID>/locations/<Location ID>/conversations/<Conversation ID>.
Yields
  • (response, operation) — Access the result along with the RPC operation
Yield Parameters
Returns
Raises
  • (::Google::Cloud::Error) — if the RPC is aborted.
Example

Basic example

require "google/cloud/dialogflow/v2"

# Create a client object. The client can be reused for multiple calls.
client = Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversations::Client.new

# Create a request. To set request fields, pass in keyword arguments.
request = Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::CompleteConversationRequest.new

# Call the complete_conversation method.
result = client.complete_conversation request

# The returned object is of type Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation.
p result

#configure

def configure() { |config| ... } -> Client::Configuration

Configure the Conversations Client instance.

The configuration is set to the derived mode, meaning that values can be changed, but structural changes (adding new fields, etc.) are not allowed. Structural changes should be made on Client.configure.

See Configuration for a description of the configuration fields.

Yields
  • (config) — Configure the Client client.
Yield Parameter
Returns

#create_conversation

def create_conversation(request, options = nil) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation
def create_conversation(parent: nil, conversation: nil, conversation_id: nil) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation

Creates a new conversation. Conversations are auto-completed after 24 hours.

Conversation Lifecycle: There are two stages during a conversation: Automated Agent Stage and Assist Stage.

For Automated Agent Stage, there will be a dialogflow agent responding to user queries.

For Assist Stage, there's no dialogflow agent responding to user queries. But we will provide suggestions which are generated from conversation.

If Conversation.conversation_profile is configured for a dialogflow agent, conversation will start from Automated Agent Stage, otherwise, it will start from Assist Stage. And during Automated Agent Stage, once an Intent with Intent.live_agent_handoff is triggered, conversation will transfer to Assist Stage.

Overloads 
def create_conversation(request, options = nil) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation
Pass arguments to create_conversation via a request object, either of type Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::CreateConversationRequest or an equivalent Hash.
Parameters
  • request (::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::CreateConversationRequest, ::Hash) — A request object representing the call parameters. Required. To specify no parameters, or to keep all the default parameter values, pass an empty Hash.
  • options (::Gapic::CallOptions, ::Hash) — Overrides the default settings for this call, e.g, timeout, retries, etc. Optional. 
def create_conversation(parent: nil, conversation: nil, conversation_id: nil) -> ::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation
Pass arguments to create_conversation via keyword arguments. Note that at least one keyword argument is required. To specify no parameters, or to keep all the default parameter values, pass an empty Hash as a request object (see above).
Parameters
  • parent (::String) — Required. Resource identifier of the project creating the conversation. Format: projects/<Project ID>/locations/<Location ID>.
  • conversation (::Google::Cloud::Dialogflow::V2::Conversation, ::Hash) — Required. The conversation to create.
  • conversation_id (::String) —

    Optional. Identifier of the conversation. Generally it's auto generated by Google. Only set it if you cannot wait for the response to return a auto-generated one to you.

    The conversation ID must be compliant with the regression fomula [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]* with the characters length in range of [3,64]. If the field is provided, the caller is resposible for

    1. the uniqueness of the ID, otherwise the request will be rejected.
    2. the consistency for whether to use custom ID or not under a project to better ensure uniqueness.
Yields
  • (response, operation) — Access the result along with the RPC operation
Yield Parameters
Returns
Raises
  • (::Google::Cloud::Error) — if the RPC is aborted.

    • The value must be a string, a number, or a boolean.
    • The comparison operator must be either `=`,`!=`, `>`, or `<>
    • To filter on multiple expressions, separate the expressions with `AND` or `OR` (omitting both implies `AND`).
    • For clarity, expressions can be enclosed in parentheses.

    Only lifecycle_state can be filtered on in this way. For example, the following expression only returns COMPLETED conversations:

    lifecycle_state = "COMPLETED"
