[QUESTION] Use especific word to initialize commands? about artyom.js HOT 5 CLOSED

I've been rewriting Artyom.js in TypeScript again, because the current model forces me to work with 2 files namely the VanillaJS and the TypeScript version. In this case it will be worked on a single TypeScript file and it can be transpiled to a version that works in the Browser (window) and with modules (require, import etc).

Your proposal works indeed, however it makes your code less dynamic. The solution that i'm providing is the new property name at the initialization object. If this name was provided, then the commands will be executed only if the name is spoken too.

// Now artyom can be initialized with different instances
var artyom = new Artyom();

artyom.addCommands([
    {
        // Triggered only when you say "Jarvis Good Morning"
        indexes: ["Good Morning"],
        action: () => {
            MyAssistant.say("Hello, nice to hear you !");
        }
    }
]);

artyom.initialize({
    // Initialize with some default setup
    lang: "en-GB",
    debug: true,
    listen: true,
    continuous: true,
    // Give a name to your assistant !
    name: "Jarvis"
});

In this case, we have a "Good Morning" command. As the name "Jarvis" was providen at the initialization, the user would need to trigger the "Good Morning" command by saying "Jarvis Good Morning".

This feature will be available with the new version 1.0.6 that should be published in this week (maybe).

Technically, this seems to work in the way you've described. You just need to declare a phrase at the beginning of every command, as you've done. I tested that by naming my system "Winston." Commands without my "word_init_comma" didn't work. Commands with it did.

Well, the usage of the constructor isn't meant to provide the initialization object but just for create multiple instances of Artyom. This can be really useful when you work with bilingual apps e.g:

// Note: obviously only 1 instance of speech recognition can run at time
// otherwise the browser may crash.

var JarvisSpanish = new Artyom();

JarvisSpanish.addCommands({
    indexes: ["Hola"],
    action: () => {
        JarvisSpanish.say("Hola, todo bien?");
    }
});

JarvisSpanish.initialize({
    listen: true,
    debug: true,
    lang: "es-ES",
    continuous:true
});

// And english instance

var JarvisEnglish = new Artyom();

JarvisEnglish.addCommands({
    indexes: ["Hello"],
    action: () => {
        JarvisEnglish.say("Hello, everything in order?");
    }
});

JarvisEnglish.initialize({
    listen:true,
    debug:true,
    lang: "en-GB",
    continuous:true
});

The new version 1.0.6 is now available 🤓

Yes, this seems to be more succinct using in the constructor.

Waiting for a new release
