RasaCore

Welcome to your new gem! In this directory, you'll find the files you need to be able to package up your Ruby library into a gem. Put your Ruby code in the file lib/rasa_core. To experiment with that code, run bin/console for an interactive prompt.

TODO: Delete this and the text above, and describe your gem

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rasa_core'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rasa_core

Usage

require 'rasa_core'

client = RasaCore::Client.new(server:'172.18.0.3', port:5005)
client.check_health
#=> {:success=>true, :timed_out=>false, :return_message=>"No error", :code=>200, :body=>"hello from Rasa Core: 0.11.3"}

The response is always a hash having five key/values

  • success - boolean true or false
  • timed_out - boolean true or false
  • code - HTTP response code
  • return_message - a return message in could not get an http response
  • body - body response, may be in a simple string form, Ruby OpenStruct object, or a JSON format. By default body is an OpenStruct object.

The check_health methods return a simple 'Hello' string if Core is running.

client.version
#=> {:success=>true, :timed_out=>false, :return_message=>"No error", :code=>200, :body=>#<OpenStruct minimum_compatible_version="0.11.0", version="0.11.3">}

client.status
#=> {:success=>true, :timed_out=>false, :return_message=>"No error", :code=>200, :body=>#<OpenStruct is_ready=true, model_fingerprint="12c788db30b74a5a8eb88a640aea9ce6">}

We can change the response format

client.response_format = :json
client.version
#=> {:success=>true, :timed_out=>false, :return_message=>"No error", :code=>200, :body=>"{\"minimum_compatible_version\":\"0.11.0\",\"version\":\"0.11.3\"}\n"}
client.status
#=> {:success=>true, :timed_out=>false, :return_message=>"No error", :code=>200, :body=>"{\"is_ready\":true,\"model_fingerprint\":\"12c788db30b74a5a8eb88a640aea9ce6\"}\n"}

To send a message to Core

client.send_message(message:'hello')
#=> {:success=>true, :timed_out=>false, :return_message=>"No error", :code=>200, :body=>[#<OpenStruct recipient_id="default", text="Greetings!">]}

We can also specify a sender id when sending a message

client.send_message(message:'hello', sender_id: 'bayram')
=> {:success=>true, :timed_out=>false, :return_message=>"No error", :code=>200, :body=>[#<OpenStruct recipient_id="bayram", text="Hi there, friend!">]}

Set and access slots as following

client.append_slot(sender_id: 'bayram_123', name: "name", value: 'bayram')
client.append_slot(sender_id: 'bayram_123', name: "email", value: '[email protected]')
resp = client.conversation_tracker(sender_id: 'bayram_123')
resp[:body].slots.email
# => "[email protected]"
resp[:body].slots.name
# => "bayram"

Assume that core works on 172.18.0.3:5005. Let's chat with our bot.

client = RasaCore::Client.new(server:'172.18.0.3', port:5005)

resp = client.send_message(sender_id: 'bayram_123', message:'Hi')
puts "Bot says: #{resp[:body].first.text}"
# => Bot says: Hi!
resp = client.send_message(sender_id: 'bayram_123', message:'Let us chat')
puts "Bot says: #{resp[:body].first.text}"
# => Bot says: Sure. I'd be happy to. What's up?

Client methods

check_health

Simple sends a GET request http://<server>:<port>/ and gets a hello response in case the core server is running.

status

Receives information about the currently loaded agent.

version

Receives metadata about the running Core instance.

send_message(args={})

Sends a user message
Arguments: sender_id, message
For example client.send_message(sender_id: '[email protected]', message: 'Hello')

conversation_tracker(args={})

Retrieve a conversations tracker Arguments: sender_id, include_events

append_slot(args={})

Retrieve a conversations tracker
Arguments: sender_id, include_events, timestamp, name, value

reset_slots(args={})

Development

Not all functionalities are implemented yet. I will update the gem gradually by adding other methods to interact with Rasa Core. I'd also be glad to get feedback and suggestions.
