Dialog Prompts

This is a (currently experimental) suite of dialog prompts that uses Microsoft's recognizer text suite to recognize certain types of input during a dialog prompt. Microsoft's Bot Framework team has implemented a handful of prompts using recognizers from the recognizer text suite. This library is meant to fill the gaps.

Currently, this library and subsequent PIP are experimental. Please use at your own risk. Feel free to test, debug, and submit pull requests if you come across any issues.

Installation

You can install this library via PIP:

## Coming soon

Number with Unit

The number with unit prompt allows you to prompt for four different unit types:

• Currency
• Temperature
• Age
• Dimension (eg. miles / meters)

dialogs.add(new NumberWithUnitPrompt('numberPrompt', NumberWithUnitPromptType.Currency);

Then, you can call the bot by specifying your PromptOptions and calling PromptAsync.

options = PromptOptions(
                    prompt = Activity(
                        type = ActivityTypes.message, 
                        text = "Enter the curreny info"
                        )
                )
        await step_context.prompt("numberprompt",options)

The prompt will return a NumberWithUnitResult.The object contains a value and unit type. For example, if a user enters "twenty three dollars" when you are using the Currency prompt type, the resulting NumberWithUnitResult object will have Unit: "Dollar", Value: "23". Below is an example of how you might use this result.

result = f"currency : {turn_context.result.value} and unit : {turn_context.result.unit}"
await turn_context.send_activity(result)

Number with Type

Number with type allows you to accept numbers from the follow type enum:

• Ordinal
• Percentage

dialogs.add(new NumberWithTypePrompt('numberPrompt', NumberWithTypePromptType.Ordinal);

The prompt will a return a result based on the NumberWithTypePromptType type. For example , If user enters “eleventh” Ordinal type return the result as 11. Below is an example of how you might use this result.

result = step_context.result
await turn_context.send_activity(result)

Phone Number

The PhoneNumberPrompt will extract a phone number from a message from the user.

dialogs.add(new PhoneNumberPrompt('phprompt');

Example

User : My phone number is 1 (877) 609-2233
PhoneNumberPrompt return as 1 (877) 609-2233

Email Address

The EmailPrompt will extract an email address from a message from the user.

dialogs.add(new EmailPrompt('eprompt');

Example

User : My email id is r.vinoth@live.com
EmailPrompt return as r.vinoth@live.com

Internet Protocols

The InternetProtocolPrompt will extract one of the following types based on which InternetProtocolPromptType enum value is passed in:

• IPAddress
• URL

dialogs.add(InternetProtocolPrompt("urlprompt",InternetProtocolPromptType.URL))

Example

User : My favorite web site is http://rvinothrajendran.github.io/
InternetProtocolPrompt return as http://rvinothrajendran.github.io/

GUID

The GUIDPrompt will extract a GUID from a message from the user.

dialogs.add(new GuidPrompt('gprompt');

Example

User : my azure id is "7d7b0205-9411-4a29-89ac-b9cd905886fa"
GUIDPrompt return as "7d7b0205-9411-4a29-89ac-b9cd905886fa"
