## Utilities and Helper Functions

## SpeedyCard

- Getting started with AdaptiveCards (https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/guides/cards) can be a bit cumbersome and error-prone

- SpeedyCard is a limited subset of AdaptiveCards with basic features with a focus on user interaction & simplicity (title, text, input box, menu-select, no "collapsable" sections, etc)

- Inspired a bit by SwiftUI: https://developer.apple.com/xcode/swiftui/

- Make sure you call ```.render()``` and use the ```.sendCard``` method

<details><summary>Before/After</summary>

## Before

```ts
const cardJson = {
"$schema": "http://adaptivecards.io/schemas/adaptive-card.json",
"type": "AdaptiveCard",
"version": "1.0",
"body": [{
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "System is 👍",
"weight": "Bolder",
"size": "Large",
"wrap": true
}, {
"type": "TextBlock",
"text": "If you see this card, everything is working",
"size": "Small",
"isSubtle": true,
"wrap": true,
"weight": "Lighter"
}, {
"type": "Image",
"url": "https://i.imgur.com/SW78JRd.jpg",
"horizontalAlignment": "Center",
"size": "Large"
}, {
"type": "Input.Text",
"placeholder": "What's on your mind?",
"id": "inputData"
}],
"actions": [{
"type": "Action.Submit",
"title": "Submit",
"data": {
"cardType": "inputForm"
}
}, {
"type": "Action.OpenUrl",
"title": "Take a moment to celebrate",
"url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M"
}]
}

bot.sendCard(cardJson, 'Your client does not currently support Adaptive Cards')
```

## After

```ts
const cardJson = new SpeedyCard().setTitle('System is 👍', {st})
.setSubtitle('If you see this card, everything is working')
.setImage('https://i.imgur.com/SW78JRd.jpg')
.setInput(`What's on your mind?`)
.setUrl('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M', 'Take a moment to celebrate')

bot.sendCard(cardJson.render(), 'Your client does not currently support Adaptive Cards')

```

</details>


```ts
import { SpeedyCard } from 'speedybot'
export const handlers = [{
keyword: ['go!'],
handler(bot, trigger) {
// Adapative Card: https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/guides/cards
const myCard = new SpeedyCard().setTitle('System is 👍', {st})
.setSubtitle('If you see this card, everything is working')

.setInput(`What's on your mind?`)
.setUrl('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GwjfUFyY6M', 'Take a moment to celebrate')
.setChoices(['Abraham Lincoln','Adlai Stevenson','Connie Rice', 'Monty'], {id:})
.setTable([[`Bot's Time`, new Date().toTimeString()], ['Bot running duration', process.uptime()]])
bot.sendCard(myCard.render(), 'Your client does not currently support Adaptive Cards')

}
helpText: 'A demo handler invoked when the user types go!'
},
{
keyword: '<@submit>',
handler(bot, trigger) {
bot.say(`Submission received! You sent us ${JSON.stringify(trigger.attachmentAction.inputs)}`)
},
helpText: 'Special handler that fires when data is submitted'
}

```
## Storage
- Lightweight helper for storage, scoped to user
- Get operations don't error if none found, return null instead
```ts
import { Storage } from 'speedybot'

const handler = {
keyword: ['go!'],
async handler(bot, trigger) {
const val = await Storage.get('secret_code')
if (val) {
bot.say(`Your stored value is ${val}`)
} else {
const secretCode = Math.random().toString(36).slice(2)
bot.say(`No stored value detected, saving '${secretCode}' now...`)
await Storage.get('secret_code', secretCode)
}
}
helpText: 'A demo handler invoked when the user types go!'
}
```
## fillTemplate & pickRandom
- Variation in responses is a low-investment, high-payoff way to make conversation agents more appealing and less robotic
- pickRandom does exactly what it sounds like-- randomly return an item from a list
- fillTemplate will randomly pick an item from a list and replace ```$[template_name]``` with a specified value
```ts
import { fillTemplate } from 'speedybot'

const handler = {
keyword: ['go!'],
async handler(bot, trigger) {
const phrases = ["Hey $[name], how's it going? Here is one $[flavor] ice cream", "Hiya $[name], here's your $[flavor]", "Here's one $[flavor] for ya, $[name]"]
const myTemplate = {
name: trigger.person.displayName,
flavor: 'mint'
}

bot.say(fillTemplate(phrases, myTemplate))

}
helpText: 'A demo handler invoked when the user types go!'
}
