const chatbase = require('@google/chatbase');

var intent = "ASK-CURRENT-TIME"; // This should be actually decoded from the user message!

// Create a Message Set
// See: https://github.com/google/chatbase-node
var messageSet = chatbase.newMessageSet()
  .setApiKey("APIKEY") // Chatbase API key
  .setPlatform("facebook-or-whatever"); // Chat platform name
    
// Track the message from the user
const userMessage = messageSet.newMessage() // Create a new instance of Message
  .setAsTypeUser() // Mark it as a message coming from the human
  .setUserId("facebook-user-XYZ") // User ID on the chat platform, or custom ID
  .setTimestamp(Date.now().toString()) // Mandatory
  .setIntent(intent) // The intent decoded from the user message, if applicable
  .setMessage("Do you know the time, please?"); // User message
    
// Was the intent successfully decoded?
if (intent == "UNKNOWN") {
  userMessage.setAsNotHandled(); // Tell Chatbase to mark this user request as "not handled"
} else {
  userMessage.setAsHandled(); // Mark this request as successfully handled ;)
}
    
// Track the response message from the bot
const botMessage = messageSet.newMessage() // See above
  .setAsTypeAgent() // This message is the bot response
  .setUserId("facebook-user-XYZ") // Same as above
  .setTimestamp(Date.now().toString()) // Mandatory
  .setMessage("It's 12 o'clock!"); // Bot response message
    
// Send all messages to Chatbase
return messageSet.sendMessageSet()
  .then(response => {
    var createResponse = response.getCreateResponse();
    return createResponse.all_succeeded; // "true" if all messages were correctly formatted and have been successfully forwarded
  })
  .catch(error => {
    console.error(error);
    return false;
  });
