Introduction

BotScript is a text-based scripting language and bot engine for creating human-like conversation chat bots.

If you're looking to create complex conversations with natural dialogue and different topics, BotScript is for you!

Document specification
Message pipeline with NLP support
Stateless dialog engine will parse message request, handle context then response back
Extensible plugin architecture to call your own APIs or do your own NLP if you want to!

The installation using NPM:

npm install -g @yeuai/botscript

either run the cli:

$ botscript

or use it in your code:

const BotScript = require('@yeuai/botscript')
const bot = new BotScript()
bot.parse('> * \n < yes?\n')
bot.reply('hello')

General:

Input: the message sent by the user to the bot.
Trigger: a string that is matched against the user's input in order to work out how to respond.
Reply: a specific reply given by the bot under certain conditions.
Interaction: a block includes a trigger with one or more replies and any additional rules that tell the bot how to reply to a specific input.
Topic: a way to logically group one or more interactions that are about a certain topic, such as football or swimming. All your conversations start within a topic. BotScript will continue to search topics until it finds a matching trigger and reply.
Conversation: a set of stories that will only match if a previous interaction in the conversation chain has already been matched.
Request: a query message send to dialog box that contains unresolved context and unfulfilled variables.
Response: a result message is reached through the dialog box and contains the information to be resolved
