Usage

Functions

`let bot = new Bot(opts)`

Returns a new Bot instance.

opts - Object

token - String: Your Page Access Token, found in your App settings. Required.
verify - String: A verification token for the first-time setup of your webhook. Optional, but will be required by Facebook when you first set up your webhook.
app_secret - String: Your App Secret token used for message integrity check. If specified, every POST request will be tested for spoofing. Optional.

`bot.middleware()`

The main middleware for your bot's webhook. Returns a function. Usage:

const http = require('http')
const Bot = require('messenger-bot')

let bot = new Bot({
  token: 'PAGE_TOKEN',
  verify: 'VERIFY_TOKEN'
})

http.createServer(bot.middleware()).listen(3000)

As well, it mounts /_status, which will return {"status": "ok"} if the middleware is running. If verify is specified in the bot options, it will mount a handler for GET requests that verifies the webhook.

`bot.sendMessage(recipient, payload, [callback], [messagingType], [tag])`

Sends a message with the payload to the target recipient, and calls the callback if any. Returns a promise. See Send API.

recipient - Number: The Facebook ID of the intended recipient.
payload - Object: The message payload. Should follow the Send API format.
callback - (Optional) Function: Called with (err, info) once the request has completed. err contains an error, if any, and info contains the response from Facebook, usually with the new message's ID.
messagingType - (Optional) String: The message type. Supported Messaging Type.
tag - (Optional) String: The tag's message. Supported Tags.

`bot.getAttachmentUploadId(url, is_reusable, type, [callback])`

Sends the media to the Attachment Upload API and calls the callback if the upload is successful, including the attachment_id. See Attachment Upload API.

url - String: Link where can be fetched the media.
is_reusable - Boolean: Defined if the saved asset will be sendable to other message recipients.
type - String: The type of media. Can be one of: image, video, audio, file.
callback - (Optional) Function: Called with (err, info) once the request has completed. err contains an error, if any, and info contains the response from Facebook, usually with the media's ID.

`bot.sendSenderAction(recipient, senderAction, [callback])`

Sends the sender action senderAction to the target recipient, and calls the callback if any. Returns a promise.

recipient - Number: The Facebook ID of the intended recipient.
senderAction - String: The sender action to execute. Can be one of: typing_on, 'typing_off', 'mark_seen'. See the Sender Actions API reference for more information.
callback - (Optional) Function: Called with (err, info) once the request has completed. err contains an error, if any, and info contains the response from Facebook, usually with the new message's ID.

`bot.unlinkAccount(psid, [callback])`

Unlinks the user with the corresponding psid, and calls the callback if any. Returns a promise. See [Account Unlink Endpoint].(https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform/identity/account-linking?locale=en_US#unlink)

psid - Number: The Facebook ID of the user who has to be logged out.
callback - (Optional) Function: Called with (err, info) once the request has completed. err contains an error, if any, and info contains the response from Facebook.

`bot.setGetStartedButton(payload, [callback])`

`bot.setPersistentMenu(payload, [callback])`

Sets settings for the Get Started Button / Persistent Menu. See the Messenger Profile Reference for what to put in the payload.

`bot.removeGetStartedButton([callback])`

`bot.removePersistentMenu([callback])`

Removes the Get Started Button / Persistent Menu.

`bot.getProfile(target, [callback])`

Returns a promise of the profile information of the target, also called in the callback if any. See User Profile API.

target - Number: The Facebook ID of the intended target.
callback - (Optional) Function: Called with (err, profile) once the request has completed. err contains an error, if any, and info contains the response from Facebook, in this format:

{
  "first_name": "Zach",
  "last_name": "Bruggeman",
  "profile_pic": "<url to profile picture>",
  "locale": "en",
  "timezone": "PST",
  "gender": "M"
}

`bot._handleMessage(payload)`

The underlying method used by bot.middleware() to parse the message payload, and fire the appropriate events. Use this if you've already implemented your own middleware or route handlers to receive the webhook request, and just want to fire the events on the bot instance. See the echo bot implemented in Express for an example.

payload - Object: The payload sent by Facebook to the webhook.

`bot._verify(req, res)`

The underlying method used by bot.middleware() for the initial webhook verification. Use this if you've already implemented your own middleware or route handlers, and wish to handle the request without implementing bot.middleware(). See the echo bot implemented in Express for an example.

req - Request: The http request object.
res - Response: The http response object.
