Sarufi Golang SDK

Pre-requisites

You need to register with Sarufi in order to get your login credentials (client ID and client secret).

Installation

Simply install with the go get command:

go get github.com/sarufi-io/sarufi-golang-sdk@v0.3.3

And import it to your package as:

package main

import (
    sarufi "github.com/sarufi-io/sarufi-golang-sdk@v0.3.3"
)

Usage

I have divided the explanation into two parts;

• Information relating to type Sarufi.Application and
• Information relating to type Sarufi.Bot

Type Sarufi.Application

This type handles tasks that affect all bots such getting all bots, creating new bots and so on. Detailed explanation below.

Set Token

First create a new variable of type sarufi.Application and place your API KEY as shown below. You can get your API key from your Sarufi Dashboard

var app sarufi.Application

app.GetToken("your_api_key")

Creating a New Bot

Use the app.CreateBot method to create a new bot. You'll fill in the;

• name of your bot
• its description
• industry and
• a boolean on whether the bot should be visible on the playground.

The method will return a new bot of type Bot and an error if any. See below:

example_bot, err := app.CreateBot("Name of your bot", "Description", "Industry", bool)
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(example_bot.Name)

Getting All Your Bots

To get all your bots, use the app.GetAllBots which will return a list of all available bots and an error if any:

myBots, err := app.GetAllBots()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

for _, bot := range myBots {
    fmt.Println(bot.Name)
    fmt.Println(bot.Description)
}

Fetch A Single Bot

To fetch a particular bot, use the method app.GetBot filling in the ID of the bot you want. It will return the requested bot and an error if any:

example_bot, err := app.GetBot(bot_id)

if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(example_bot.Name)

Updating A Bot

To update information of a specific bot, use the app.UpdateBot placing the bot itself as a parameter. It will return an error if any:

example_bot.Name = "New Name"

if err := app.UpdateBot(example_bot); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

Delete A Bot

To delete a bot, use the app.DeleteBot method filling in the ID of the bot as a parameter. It will return an error if any:

if err := app.DeleteBot(bot_id); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

Get Profile

To get information about your user account use the app.GetUser method. The details of the user account will also be stored in the app.User field:

profile, err := app.GetUser()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(profile.ID)
fmt.Println(profile.FullName)

Type Sarufi.Bot

This is the actual Bot. Below are explanations on all methods that affect a specific bot such as creating new intents, flows and so on.

NOTE: For any changes to take effect, you MUST call the app.Update method with the bot as a parameter, otherwise changes will not take effect.

Creating A New Intent

You can create a new Intent with the bot.CreateIntents method. Note that this WILL delete any existing intents.

// Create a string in JSON format
intents := `
{
    "goodbye": ["bye", "goodbye", "see ya"],
    "greets": ["hey", "hello", "hi"],
    "order_pizza": ["I need pizza", "I want pizza"]
}`

if err := example_bot.CreateIntents(intents); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

// For changes to take effect
if err = app.UpdateBot(example_bot); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

• You can also create a new Intent with a JSON file. Just pass in the file name as a parameter:

example_bot.CreateIntents("intentFile.json")

Adding An Intent

You can add a new Intent to the ones already available as follows:

// Create a title of the new intent
title := "example_title"

// Create a slice of strings with intent messages
newIntent := []string{"example intent content"}

// I am ignoring errors but you should handle them 
example_bot.AddIntent(title, newIntent)
app.UpdateBot(example_bot)

Note that this WILL NOT delete previous Intents. It will simple add itself to them.

Deleting An Intent

You can delete a specific Intent as follow:

// I am ignoring errors but you should handle them 
example_bot.DeleteIntent("intent_title")
app.UpdateBot(example_bot)

Creating A New Flow

You can create a new Flow as follows, note that this WILL delete any existing flows:

// create a string in JSON format
newFlow := `
{
     "greets": {"message": ["Hi, How can I help you?"], "next_state": "end"},
     "order_pizza": {
     "message": ["Sure, How many pizzas would you like to order?"],
     "next_state": "number_of_pizzas"
 },
     "number_of_pizzas": {
     "message": [
         "Sure, What would you like to have on your pizza?",
         "1. Cheese",
         "2. Pepperoni",
         "3. Both"
     ],
     "next_state": "choice_pizza_toppings"
 },
     "choice_pizza_toppings": {
     "1": "pizza_toppings",
     "2": "pizza_toppings",
     "3": "pizza_toppings",
     "fallback_message": ["Sorry, the topping you chose is not available."]
 },
     "pizza_toppings": {
     "message": ["Cool, Whats your address ?"],
     "next_state": "address"
 },
     "address": {
     "message": ["Sure, What is your phone number ?"],
     "next_state": "phone_number"
 },
     "phone_number": {
     "message": ["Your order has been placed.", "Thank you for ordering with us."],
     "next_state": "end"
 },
     "goodbye": {"message": ["Bye", "See you soon"], "next_state": "end"}
}`

// I am ignoring errors but you should handle them 
example_bot.CreateFlows(newFlow)
app.UpdateBot(example_bot)

• You can also create a new Flow with a JSON file as shown below:

example_bot.CreateFlows("flowFile.json")

Adding A Flow

Add a new Flow to the already existing ones as follows:

// Create a title string
title := "flow_title"
content := `{"message": ["Your order has been placed.", "Thank you for ordering with us."],"next_state": "end"}`

// I am ignoring errors but you should handle them 
example_bot.AddFlow(title, content)
app.UpdateBot(example_bot)

Note that this will NOT delete previous Flows. It will simple add itself to them.

Deleting A Flow

You can delete a specific Flow as follow:

// I am ignoring errors but you should handle them 
example_bot.DeleteFlow("flow_title")
app.UpdateBot(example_bot)

Respond To A Message

Use the bot.Respond method to get a bot's respond to a particular message. The response will be stored at bot.Conversation which has the fields message, memory, current and next states.

if err = example_bot.Respond("Hey", "general"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(example_bot.Conversation.Message)

Check Chat State

You can check the current and next state of the chat using the bot.ChatState method. The states are stored at the bot.Conversation field.

if err := example_bot.ChatState(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(example_bot.Conversation.CurrentState)

Get Chat History

You can fetch the history of a specific chat ID using the bot.GetChatHistory method passing in the chat ID as a parameter. The history will be saved in the bot.ConversationHistory field.

if err := example_bot.GetChatHistory("chat_id"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

for _, chat := range example_bot.ConversationHistory {
	fmt.Printf("id: %d\nmessage: %s\nsender: %s\nresponse: %v\nreceived time: %s\n\n", chat.ID, chat.Message, chat.Sender, chat.Response, chat.ReceivedTime)
}

Get Chat Users

To get a list of all users communicating with your bot, use the bot.GetChatUsers method. The list of chats information will be stored in the bot.ChatUsers field.

if err := example_bot.GetChatUsers(); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

for _, chat := range example_bot.ChatUsers {
    fmt.Println(chat.ChatID)
    fmt.Println(chat.ReceivedTime)
}

Predict A Message

To get a prediction of a particular message on your bot, use the bot.Predict method with the message as a parameter. The result of the prediction will be stored in the bot.Prediction field.

if err := example_bot.Predict("Hey"); err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}

fmt.Println(example_bot.Prediction.Confidence)
