A simple implementation of a Botkit configuration for Facebook Messenger

botkitMessengerSimpleConfig.js

// Import Botkit
const { Botkit } = require('botkit');

// Import Facebook Adapter
const { FacebookAdapter, FacebookEventTypeMiddleware } = require('botbuilder-adapter-facebook');

// Load process.env values from .env file
require('dotenv').config();

// Configure Facebook Adapter
const adapter = new FacebookAdapter({
    enable_incomplete: true,
    verify_token: process.env.FACEBOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN,
    access_token: process.env.FACEBOOK_ACCESS_TOKEN,
    app_secret: process.env.FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET,
})

// emit events based on the type of facebook event being received
adapter.use(new FacebookEventTypeMiddleware());


const controller = new Botkit({
    webhook_uri: '/api/messages',
    adapter: adapter
});

// Once the bot has booted up its internal services, you can use them to do stuff.
controller.ready(() => {
    // load traditional developer-created local custom feature modules
    controller.loadModules(__dirname + '/features');
});
