Generating a new Alexa Skill

yo alexa-skill

This creates a brand new Alexa Skill, add your logic into src/index.js and tests into test/index-test.js. The template is a HelloWorld skill:

import Response from 'alexa-response';
import { Skill, Launch, Intent } from 'alexa-lambda-skill';
 
@Skill
export default class HelloWorld {
 
  @Launch
  launch() {
    return Response.say('HelloWorld launched!');
  }
 
  @Intent('hello')
  hello({ name = 'world' }) {
    return Response.say(`Hello ${name}`).card({ title: 'HelloWorld', content: `Hello ${name}` });
  }
 
  @Intent('AMAZON.HelpIntent')
  help() {
    return Response.ask('I say hello to people. Who should I say hello to?').reprompt('Who should I say hello to?');
  }
 
  @Intent('AMAZON.CancelIntent', 'AMAZON.StopIntent')
  stop() {
    return Response.say('Goodbye');
  }
 
}
