Quickstart

Before you begin

Select or create a Cloud Platform project .
Enable billing for your project .
Enable the Dialogflow CX API API .
Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.

Installing the client library

 npm install @google-cloud/dialogflow-cx

Using the client library

 /**
 * TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.
 */
// const projectId = 'my-project';
// const location = 'global';
// const agentId = 'my-agent';
// const audioFileName = '/path/to/audio.raw';
// const encoding = 'AUDIO_ENCODING_LINEAR_16';
// const sampleRateHertz = 16000;
// const languageCode = 'en'

// Imports the Google Cloud Some API library
const {SessionsClient} = require(' @google-cloud/dialogflow-cx 
');
/**
 * Example for regional endpoint:
 *   const location = 'us-central1'
 *   const client = new SessionsClient({apiEndpoint: 'us-central1-dialogflow.googleapis.com'})
 */

();

// npm i uuid:
const {v4} = require('uuid');

  const sessionId = v4();

    projectId,
    location,
    agentId,
    sessionId
  );

  // Read the content of the audio file and send it as part of the request.
  const readFile = util.promisify(fs.readFile);

    }

The Dialogflow CX API Node.js Client API Reference documentation also contains samples.

Supported Node.js Versions

Our client libraries follow the Node.js release schedule . Libraries are compatible with all current active and maintenance versions of Node.js.

Client libraries targeting some end-of-life versions of Node.js are available, and can be installed via npm dist-tags . The dist-tags follow the naming convention legacy-(version) .

Legacy Node.js versions are supported as a best effort:

Legacy versions will not be tested in continuous integration.
Some security patches may not be able to be backported.
Dependencies will not be kept up-to-date, and features will not be backported.

Legacy tags available

legacy-8 : install client libraries from this dist-tag for versions compatible with Node.js 8.

Versioning

This library follows Semantic Versioning .

This library is considered to be General Availability (GA). This means it is stable; the code surface will not change in backwards-incompatible ways unless absolutely necessary (e.g. because of critical security issues) or with an extensive deprecation period. Issues and requests against GAlibraries are addressed with the highest priority.
