# Chatbot Framework
A simple JavaScript framework for building chatbots using Express.js.
## Installation
Install the package using npm:
```bash
npm install express
const ChatbotFramework = require('chatbot-framework');
// Create an instance of ChatbotFramework
const chatbot = new ChatbotFramework();
// Example middleware for processing incoming messages
chatbot.use((req, res, next) => {
const message = req.body;
console.log('Received message:', message);
// Add your message processing logic here
res.sendStatus(200); // Respond with success status
});
// Set up webhook for receiving messages from the messaging platform
chatbot.webhook('/slack-webhook', (message, res) => {
// Process Slack messages here
res.sendStatus(200); // Respond with success status
});
// Start the chatbot server
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
chatbot.start(port);
Replace the placeholder middleware logic (console.log('Received message:', message)
) with your actual message processing logic, such as responding to messages, invoking chatbot actions, etc.
Register middleware for processing incoming messages.
