Integrates API.AI and Facebook Messenger
A light integration of Api.ai and Messenger for custom Node.js apps.
Installation
`npm install api-messenger`
Usage
Instantiate api_messenger
var apiMessenger = require('api-messenger');Route Fb messages to API.AI. Directly send API.AI responses to Fb Messenger.
/* Sending message to api.ai and processing the response */

apiMessenger.send(recipientId, response);
});More customisable: functions that format API.AI response into Messenger JSON.
apiMessenger.text(recipientId, aiMessage.speech);
apiMessenger.card(recipientId, aiMessage, developer_payload);
apiMessenger.quickReply(recipientId, aiMessage, developer_payload);
etc...For a detailed set up, see examples folder.
