Description

AWS SDK for JavaScript LexRuntimeService Client for Node.js, Browser and React Native.

<p>Amazon Lex provides both build and runtime endpoints. Each endpoint provides a set of operations (API). Your conversational bot uses the runtime API to understand user utterances (user input text or voice). For example, suppose a user says "I want pizza", your bot sends this input to Amazon Lex using the runtime API. Amazon Lex recognizes that the user request is for the OrderPizza intent (one of the intents defined in the bot). Then Amazon Lex engages in user conversation on behalf of the bot to elicit required information (slot values, such as pizza size and crust type), and then performs fulfillment activity (that you configured when you created the bot). You use the build-time API to create and manage your Amazon Lex bot. For a list of build-time operations, see the build-time API, . </p>

Installing

To install this package, use the CLI of your favorite package manager:

  • npm install @aws-sdk/client-lex-runtime-service
  • yarn add @aws-sdk/client-lex-runtime-service
  • pnpm add @aws-sdk/client-lex-runtime-service

Getting Started

Import

The AWS SDK is modulized by clients and commands. To send a request, you only need to import the LexRuntimeServiceClient and the commands you need, for example GetSessionCommand:

js
// ES5 example
const { LexRuntimeServiceClient, GetSessionCommand } = require("@aws-sdk/client-lex-runtime-service");
ts
// ES6+ example
import { LexRuntimeServiceClient, GetSessionCommand } from "@aws-sdk/client-lex-runtime-service";

Usage

To send a request:

  • Instantiate a client with configuration (e.g. credentials, region).
  • Instantiate a command with input parameters.
  • Call the send operation on the client, providing the command object as input.
js
const client = new LexRuntimeServiceClient({ region: "REGION" });

const params = { /** input parameters */ };
const command = new GetSessionCommand(params);

Async/await

We recommend using the await operator to wait for the promise returned by send operation as follows:

js
// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
} finally {
  // finally.
}

Promises

You can also use Promise chaining.

js
client
  .send(command)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  })
  .finally(() => {
    // finally.
  });

Aggregated client

The aggregated client class is exported from the same package, but without the "Client" suffix.

LexRuntimeService extends LexRuntimeServiceClient and additionally supports all operations, waiters, and paginators as methods. This style may be familiar to you from the AWS SDK for JavaScript v2.

If you are bundling the AWS SDK, we recommend using only the bare-bones client (LexRuntimeServiceClient). More details are in the blog post on modular packages in AWS SDK for JavaScript.

ts
import { LexRuntimeService } from "@aws-sdk/client-lex-runtime-service";

const client = new LexRuntimeService({ region: "REGION" });

// async/await.
try {
  const data = await client.getSession(params);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  // error handling.
}

// Promises.
client
  .getSession(params)
  .then((data) => {
    // process data.
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    // error handling.
  });

// callbacks (not recommended).
client.getSession(params, (err, data) => {
  // process err and data.
});

Troubleshooting

When the service returns an exception, the error will include the exception information, as well as response metadata (e.g. request id).

js
try {
  const data = await client.send(command);
  // process data.
} catch (error) {
  const { requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId } = error.$metadata;
  console.log({ requestId, cfId, extendedRequestId });
  /**
   * The keys within exceptions are also parsed.
   * You can access them by specifying exception names:
   * if (error.name === 'SomeServiceException') {
   *     const value = error.specialKeyInException;
   * }
   */
}
