Bot - Restart a dialog: reloadAction

gistfile1.txt

//See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bot-framework/nodejs/bot-builder-nodejs-dialog-actions

// Order dinner.
bot.dialog('orderDinner', [
    //...waterfall steps...
])
// Once triggered, will restart the dialog.
.reloadAction('startOver', 'Ok, starting over.', {
    matches: /^start over$/i
});


// In cases where you need to pass additional arguments into the reloaded dialog, you can add a dialogArgs option to the action. 
//This '' 
// option is passed into the args parameter. Rewriting the sample code above to receive an argument on a reload action will look //something like this:

// Order dinner.
bot.dialog('orderDinner', [
    function(session, args, next){
        if(args && args.isReloaded){
            // Reload action was triggered.
        }

        session.send("Lets order some dinner!");
        builder.Prompts.choice(session, "Dinner menu:", dinnerMenu);
    }
    //...other waterfall steps...
])
// Once triggered, will restart the dialog.
.reloadAction('startOver', 'Ok, starting over.', {
    matches: /^start over$/i,
    dialogArgs: {
        isReloaded: true;
    }
});
