Quickstart

Before you begin

1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
2. Enable billing for your project.
3. Enable the Dialogflow CX API API.
4. Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

npm install @google-cloud/dialogflow-cx

Using the client library

/**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
 */
// const projectId = 'my-project';
// const location = 'global';
// const agentId = 'my-agent';
// const audioFileName = '/path/to/audio.raw';
// const encoding = 'AUDIO_ENCODING_LINEAR_16';
// const sampleRateHertz = 16000;
// const languageCode = 'en'

// Imports the Google Cloud Some API library
const {SessionsClient} = require('@google-cloud/dialogflow-cx');
/**
 * Example for regional endpoint:
 *   const location = 'us-central1'
 *   const client = new SessionsClient({apiEndpoint: 'us-central1-dialogflow.googleapis.com'})
 */
const client = new SessionsClient();

const fs = require('fs');

// npm i uuid:
const {v4} = require('uuid');

    projectId,

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule. Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js. If you are using an end-of-life version of Node.js, we recommend that you update as soon as possible to an actively supported LTS version.

Google's client libraries support legacy versions of Node.js runtimes on a best-efforts basis with the following warnings:

• Legacy versions are not tested in continuous integration.
• Some security patches and features cannot be backported.
• Dependencies cannot be kept up-to-date.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed through npm dist-tags. The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version). For example, npm install @google-cloud/dialogflow-cx@legacy-8 installs client libraries for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning.

This library is considered to be stable. The code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against stable libraries are addressed with the highest priority.
