Dialogflow easy way for authorization

Question

Does exist an easy way to connect Dialogflow agent to node.js code? When I use this code with the correct projectID taken from the Dialogflow agent\'s settings

Answer 1

I have the same issue few months ago, check this, this is how i solve it. From your JSON that Google Cloud extract this lines.

const dialogflow = require('dialogflow');
const LANGUAGE_CODE = 'en-US'
const projectId = 'projectid';
const sessionId = 'sessionId';
const query = 'text to check';


let privateKey = "private key JSON";
let clientEmail = "email acount from JSON";
let config = {
credentials: {
    private_key: privateKey,
    client_email: clientEmail
}
};

sessionClient = new dialogflow.SessionsClient(config);

async function sendTextMessageToDialogFlow(textMessage, sessionId) {
// Define session path
const sessionPath = this.sessionClient.sessionPath(projectId, sessionId);
// The text query request.
const request = {
    session: sessionPath,
    queryInput: {
        text: {
            text: textMessage,
            languageCode: LANGUAGE_CODE
        }
    }
}
try {
    let responses = await this.sessionClient.detectIntent(request)
    console.log('DialogFlow.sendTextMessageToDialogFlow: Detected intent', responses);
    return responses
} catch (err) {
    console.error('DialogFlow.sendTextMessageToDialogFlow ERROR:', err);
    throw err
}
};


sendTextMessageToDialogFlow(query, sessionId)

Answer 2

Since the original question, the documentation for Dialogflow authentication has been improved. You should find all your answers here:

Authentication and access contro

Answer 3

It is not very well documented, but the easiest way to authenticate is using the JSON file provided on your google cloud platform console.

const sessionClient = new dialogflow.SessionsClient({
    keyFilename: '/path/to/google.json'
});
const sessionPath = sessionClient.sessionPath(projectId, sessionId);

This also works for all the other clients. ContextsClients, EntityTypesClient and so on.

Answer 4

I follow the above solutions with little changes :

// A unique identifier for the given session
const sessionId = uuid.v4();

// Create a new session

const sessionClient = new dialogflow.SessionsClient({
    keyFilename: require("path").join('config/google-credential.json')
});
const sessionPath = sessionClient.sessionPath(process.env.DIALOGFLOW_PROJECTID, sessionId);

Answer 5

I am writing the code, which worked for me. Please follow all the steps provided in Reference link 2 and for coding purpose you can use the snippet provided.

I have also added the sample JSON of Google Cloud Oauth
