Getting started with Microsoft bot connector

The Microsoft Bot Connector is a communication service that  helps you connect your Bot with many different communication channels (Skype, SMS, email, and others)


If you write a conversational Bot or agent and expose a Microsoft Bot Framework-compatible API on the Internet, the Bot Framework Connector service will forward messages from your Bot to a user, and will send user messages back to your Bot.

Microsoft BOT Framework

• Microsoft Bot Framework is a comprehensive offering to build and deploy high quality bots for your users to enjoy in their favorite conversation experiences.
• Bot Framework provides just what you need to build, connect, manage and publish intelligent bots that interact naturally wherever your users are talking – from text/sms to Skype, Slack, Facebook Messenger, Kik, Office 365 mail and other popular services.

Simple component angular 2

• Components are simply directives that are always associated with a direct template
• Component is nothing but a type script class
• An Angular application is a tree of Angular components

Setup angular 2 environment

• Prerequisite: Install Node.js
• Step 1: Create the app’s project folder and define package dependencies and special project setup
• Step 2: Create the app’s Angular root component
• Step 3: Create an Angular Module
• Step 4: Add main.ts, identifying the root component to Angular
• Step 5: Add index.html, the web page that hosts the application

Advantages of typescript

1.  Like babel typescript uses a compiler to write ES5 to the compiler
2. Typescript is a super set of ES6. 
3. Typescript adapts emerging standards like Decorators  
4. Class and Module Support
5. Static Type-checking
6. Build-in Support for JavaScript Packaging

Language support for Angular 2

Advantages of languages with type support

• Interfaces and Types
• Helps detect error when we type
• Helps to gives us hints

Pipe character angular 2

A pipe takes in data as input and transforms it to a desired output.

Pipe character "|" helps to display the content

Examples of pipe

import { Component } from 'angular2/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-story',
  template: `
    <h3>{{story.name}}</h3>
    <h3 [innerText]="story.name"></h3>
    <div [style.color]="color">{{story.name}}</div>
    {{story| json}}
  `
})
export class StoryComponent {
  story = { id: 100, name: 'The Force Awakens' };
  color = 'blue';
}

Custom pipes

This custom pipe is used to perform sorting

Note:For the PipeTransform there is only one interface
