	Description
.npmignore	Ignore files when packaging as npm module
components	Directory (default) where Component implementations are added
main.js	Entrypoint for the Custom Component Package configuration
Dockerfile	Configuration file to create docker image
docker-compose.yml	Configuration file for docker deployment
spec	Placeholder for unit test implementations

The Component Package behaves like any other npm project. Directly install any dependencies or tools required to implement the customizations.

Development

TIP: Use npm run bots-node-sdk for additional CLI help and usage information.

This component package is ready to run as a local development service. Once the service starts you may use a local tunnel, such as ngrok, and configure an External Service to connect the components to your Skill.

npm start
# or run with additional options
npm run bots-node-sdk -- service .
# or run with debugger
node --inspect $(npm bin)/bots-node-sdk service .

With custom component services running, test endpoints like so:

# get component metadata
curl -X GET localhost:3000/components

# invoke custom component
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @./spec/test.cc.req.json localhost:3000/components/helloWorld

# invoke entity event handler component
curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @./spec/test.eh.req.json localhost:3000/components/resolveentities/helloWorld

Deployment

As this package is designed to be installed and run with a corresponding service wrapper, run npm pack and upload the resulting .tgz as a package for the Embedded Container service.

npm pack
# or validate and package with the @oracle/bots-node-sdk command line
npm run bots-node-sdk -- pack .

TIP: use npm run bots-node-sdk -- pack --help for additional packaging options.

Run the following commands to deploy to docker and start the container:

npm run-script docker-build
docker-compose up
