Dialogflow Backend Application

Hey there, welcome to the backend application for my articles on using Dialog published to [Smashing Magazine]("https://www.smashingmagazine.com/")

This Repository contains two branches for the following articles:

Building A Conversational N.L.P Enabled Chatbot Using Google’s Dialogflow [Default Branch]

https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2020/12/conversational-nlp-enabled-chatbot-google-dialogflow/

This branch contains the webhooks built in the article linked above. The webhooks are served using Google Cloud Functions. It connects to a Dialogflow Agent on the Google cloud using a service account key. (see article for connection details). Clone the branch and run `yarn install` to install the needed packages. Then run `yarn start` to start the defined functions locally using the Functions Framework

Integrating A Dialogflow Agent Into A React Application [Express-Server Branch]

 Note: Switch the default branch to the **Express-server** branch. This branch contains the files for an Express.js backend Application. It connects to a Dialogflow Agent on the Google cloud using a service account key. (see article for connection details). Clone the branch and run `yarn install` to install the needed packages. Then run `yarn start` to start the defined functions locally using the Functions Framework.
