just a server that compiles html file to messenger component, so from now you can write messenger bot using html components
at first it was a for fun project, to just find a simple way to write a chat bot for collecting data without repeating any logic each time, so we started using a json file then moved to yaml and finally xml (some html components).
This is the beta release and it is being re-written from scratch to clean its code-base and optimize it as much as possible so we can add more features in the future.
Simply, it takes a xml/html file, then builds a so-called
ASTtree after that it converts each component to a messenger component to be send to the messenger thread, then for each thread/session it creates a session storage using redis to store the collected data, after reaching the end of each form, it will submit the submitted data to a backend from the formactionattribute just like the basic html forms.
In other words, it uses the concept of a browser engine, but instead of compiling to the operating system components it compiles to messenger components.
- Standalone binary with redis as session storage
- Compiles common
HTMLcomponents to its Messenger equivalent - It allows you to write custom templates to respond to the user based on defined words!
- It can fetch the response from a backend, we called it
composer.
