# Microsoft Bot Framework Exercise
Demonstrate the core capabilities of the Microsoft Bot Framework
This bot has been created using [Bot Framework](https://dev.botframework.com), it shows how to create a simple bot that accepts input from the user and echoes it back.
## To run the bot
There are multiple ways of making your bot session data persistent.
Choose your storage strategy according to the [storage factory](factories/storageFactory.js).
- Option 1: Memory, no need to create resources
- Option 2: Cosmos DB:
```sh
group='rg-bot'
location='eastus2'
cosmosAccount='cosmos-botframework-999'
cosmosDatabase='greetingbot'
az group create -n $group -l $location
az cosmosdb create -n $cosmosAccount -g $group
az cosmosdb sql database create -a $cosmosAccount -g $group -n $cosmosDatabase
az cosmosdb sql container create \
-a $cosmosAccount \
-g $group \
-d $cosmosDatabase \
-n 'messages' \
--partition-key-path '/messages'
```
- Option 3: Storage Account:
```sh
group='rg-bot'
location='eastus2'
storage='stbotfrmk999'
az group create -n $group -l $location
az storage account create \
-n $storage \
-g $group \
-l $location \
--kind StorageV2 \
--sku Standard_LRS
# get the connection string and use it here
az storage container create -n 'messages' --connection-string ''
```
#### Install global CLI dependencies
```bash
# "yo" and "generator-botbuilder"
yarn global add yo generator-botbuilder
```
#### Start the bot
```bash
yarn install
yarn start
```
## Testing the bot using Bot Framework Emulator
[Bot Framework Emulator](https://github.com/microsoft/botframework-emulator) is a desktop application that allows bot developers to test and debug their bots on localhost or running remotely through a tunnel.
- Install the Bot Framework Emulator latest version from [here](https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-Emulator/releases)
### Connect to the bot using Bot Framework Emulator
- Launch Bot Framework Emulator
- File -> Open Bot
- Enter a Bot URL of `http://localhost:3978/api/messages`
## Deploy the bot to Azure
To learn more about deploying a bot to Azure, see [Deploy your bot to Azure](https://aka.ms/azuredeployment) for a complete list of deployment instructions.
