AccessibleAI.Bots.Tables 0.0.9-dev

AccessibleAI.Bots.Tables

Azure Table Storage helpers for Microsoft Bot Framework chatbot development.

The intent of these offerings is to provide a table storage means of accessing a variety of bot content so that bots do not need to be frequently redeployed as edits and expansions are made.

TableEntityRepository

The TableEntityRepository class lets you pull TableEntities out of an Azure Table Storage by a partition key and row key.

This can be used to retrieve response data for a particular intent, possibly including additional information such as a card header, title, additional links, etc.

This class is still early on in its development and will make more sense once AccessibleAI.Bots.Core is available.

Usage

TableEntityRepository definitions = new TableEntityRepository(config["StorageConnStr"], config["DefinitionTableName"], config["DefinitionPartitionKey"])

string rowKey = "YourIntentName";

Definition? definition = definitions.FindDefinition(rowKey);

if (definition == null)
{
	await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(MessageFactory.Text($"I'm sorry, I couldn't find info on {rowKey}"), cancellationToken);
}
else
{
	await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(MessageFactory.Text(definition.DefinitionText), cancellationToken);
}
