node - botframework/QnAMaker multiple answers

Question

How do I have multiple answers to same question?

I use Node and I'm pretty new to this, exampels?

This thread has an answer to my problem but its in C# How can i use QnAMaker to provide random answers to same query

This should be pretty easy, but are you using BotBuilder V3 or V4? — Kyle Delaney, Oct 23 '18 at 20:46

I'll assume you've already got a handle on how to use the botbuilder-cognitive services package.

Just like in the C# version, you can override respondFromQnAMakerResult(). You can see in the source code that you don't need to check if there are any answers because respondFromQnAMakerResult() is only called if there's at least one answer.

This is basically the solution from the other question translated into JavaScript:

basicQnAMakerDialog.respondFromQnAMakerResult = function(session, qnaMakerResult) {
    var msg = qnaMakerResult.answers[0].answer;
    var answersforhowareyou = msg.split('|');

    if (answersforhowareyou.count() > 1)
    {
        var index = Math.floor(Math.random() * answersforhowareyou.length);
        msg = answersforhowareyou[index];
    }

    session.send(msg);
}

Thank you, I have problem implementing this, see below – Oct 24 '18 at 13:32 — , Oct 24 '18 at 13:32

You should not use an answer to comment on another answer. You should use a comment on the answer for that. — Tripartio, Oct 23 '20 at 13:52
