TableStorageResponseProvider

TableStorageResponseProvider is a class that provides responses based on values configured and stored in an Azure Table Storage. It implements the IIntentResponsesProvider interface.

Usage

To use this class, you need to create an instance and provide the necessary parameters:

string tableConnectionString = "Your Azure Table Storage connection string";
string tableName = "Your table name";
string defaultLocale = "en-US";
string intentCounterSeparator = "-";
double cacheAbsoluteExpirationSeconds = 86400;
IMemoryCache memoryCache = new MemoryCache(new MemoryCacheOptions());

var responseProvider = new TableStorageResponseProvider(tableConnectionString, tableName, defaultLocale, intentCounterSeparator, cacheAbsoluteExpirationSeconds, memoryCache);

You can then use this instance to get responses:

var responses = await responseProvider.GetResponsesAsync("YourIntent", "en-US");

Constructor

• TableStorageResponseProvider: Initializes a new instance of the class. It takes a table connection string, a table name, a default locale, an intent counter separator, a cache absolute expiration time in seconds, and an IMemoryCache.
