INSTALLATION

Preparation

We assume that, you already have a wechat personal account.

Usage

Step 1, create your bot with wechaty connector

import { UniversalBot }     from 'botbuilder'
import { WechatyConnector } from 'botbuilder-wechaty-connector'

const wechatyConnector = new WechatyConnector()
wechatyConnector.listen()

const bot = new UniversalBot(wechatyConnector)

Step 2, add dialogs and you can see message in session object include wechat message content you sent.

bot.dialog('/', function (session) {
  console.log('Wechat message: ', session.message)
})

And, you can find media content like image, voice, video, etc in message.attachments of session object.(Not implement yet)

bot.dialog('/', function (session) {
  console.log('Wechat media: ', session.message.attachments)
});

Step 4, sending message out is the same.

Send text message

bot.dialog('/', function (session) {
  session.send("Im a wechaty bot!");
});
