🔧 Advanced Usage

Custom Bot Information

Standardize bot branding across all cards:

bot_info = {
    "name": "Enterprise Assistant",
    "logo": "https://company.com/logo.png"
}

# Use across multiple cards
welcome = create_welcome_adaptive_card(bot_info=bot_info)
response = create_text_response_card("Hello!", bot_info=bot_info)

Error Handling

Display user-friendly error messages:

from teams_bot_ui.cards import create_error_card

error_card = create_error_card(
    error_message="Sorry, I couldn't process your request. Please try again."
)

Carousel Cards

Display multiple items in a carousel:

from teams_bot_ui.cards import create_carousel_activity

items = [
    {
        "title": "Product A",
        "subtitle": "$99.99",
        "text": "Premium quality product",
        "image": "https://example.com/product-a.jpg",
        "buttons": [
            {"title": "Learn More", "value": "product_a_details"}
        ]
    },
    {
        "title": "Product B", 
        "subtitle": "$149.99",
        "text": "Professional grade solution",
        "image": "https://example.com/product-b.jpg",
        "buttons": [
            {"title": "Learn More", "value": "product_b_details"}
        ]
    }
]

carousel = create_carousel_activity(items)

🔄 Migration from Legacy Code

The library maintains backward compatibility with legacy "copilot" terminology:

# Legacy functions still work
from teams_bot_ui.cards import create_copilot_response_card

# Automatically maps to create_text_response_card
card = create_copilot_response_card(
    response_text="Hello!",
    copilot_info={"name": "Assistant"}
)
