Restart Conversation After 24 Hours about botframework-directlinejs

[stevkan]

@upul, There are two ways that this can potentially be achieved. I say 'potentially' as the proposed options are relying on earlier versions of the SDK. As such, some classes and/or methods may have changed and will require updating code to current implementations. Doing so may result in a breaking change.

• Option 1: This sample (referenced in this comment) in this very long GH issue, #365, demonstrates how conversation transcripts can be saved to Azure Blob Storage. The stored conversation history can then be uploaded via the SendConversationHistoryAPI.
• Option 2: This option only works if you are using BotFramework-Webchat as the client. As you don't state which client is being used, I am putting this here should it be useful. In the same GH issue referenced above, you can see here that an array of activities (i.e. the conversation history) can be passed into the store in order to load a previous conversation into web chat.

In either case, please be aware that once a token has expired, it is not possible to get a refreshed token. So, while you may be able to load a previous (expired) conversation, it is not possible to resume that conversation. It is only possible to display the previous conversation with a new conversation following after it.
