Synopsis

The Botlerplate allows you to start your bot with strong bases. You need to have a Recast.AI account and a bot with intents and entities configured on the platform.

If it's not your case, we suggest you to start from here.

If you already know our Bot Builder tool on the platform, you will find the same logic in this framework.

Installation

Manual install

git clone https://github.com/RecastAI/botlerplate
cd botlerplate
npm install

Using the generator

npm install -g generator-botlerplate
yo botlerplate

If you use the generator, see the documentation

Example

To have a running example of botlerplate, you just need to use the first bot you had when you created your account on Recast, your-slack-bot.

git clone https://github.com/RecastAI/botlerplate.git mybot
cd mybot
npm install
TOKEN=YOUR_RECAST_TOKEN npm run emulator -- --db

For detailed information about how the framework works, see the wiki
