fbmessenger's Introduction

fbmessenger

Facebook Messenger Bot client for RingoJS. It provides a convenient interface to the HTTP-based Messenger Platform. The client has been tested with RingoJS 1.1.0 and newer. It supports almost all API methods of the Messenger Platform 2.0 and the Graph API v2.9 from April 18, 2017.

Example

const bot = new FBMessenger("inser_pagetoken_here");

bot.sendTextMessage(recipientId, "Servus, I'm a bot!");

bot.sendButtonTemplate(recipientId, "Hello!", [
  {
    "type": "web_url",
    "title": "Open Link",
    "url": "http://dev.ORF.at/"
  },
  {
    "type": "postback",
    "title": "Get More Info",
    "payload": JSON.stringify({ event: "get_more" })
  }
]);

You can also take a look at the test bot which implements a lot of features of the Messenger Platform.
