Open Source JavaScript Frameworks

Claudia Bot Builder helps developers create and deploy chat-bots for various platforms in minutes to AWS Lambda. It simplifies the messaging workflows, automatically sets up the correct web hooks, and guides you through configuration steps, so that you can focus on important business problems and not have to worry about infrastructure code. This code is enough to operate bots for all supported platforms. Claudia Bot Builder automatically parses the incoming messages into a common format, so you can handle it easily. It also automatically packages the response into the correct message template for the requesting bot, so you do not have to worry about individual bot protocols. Claudia Bot Builder doesn't have a stand-alone http server in the background (such as Express, Hapi, etc.), instead it uses API Gateway and it's not trivial to simulate similar environment locally. Deploy it with --version test to create a separate test environment directly in AWS Lambda.

A Node client for the Facebook Messenger Platform. A verification token for the first-time setup of your webhook. Optional, but will be required by Facebook when you first set up your webhook. Your App Secret token used for message integrity check. If specified, every POST request will be tested for spoofing. As well, it mounts /_status, which will return {"status": "ok"} if the middleware is running. If verify is specified in the bot options, it will mount a handler for GET requests that verifies the webhook. The underlying method used by bot.middleware() to parse the message payload, and fire the appropriate events. Use this if you've already implemented your own middleware or route handlers to receive the webhook request, and just want to fire the events on the bot instance.
