# async-bot

Get rid of hardcoding states when you are developing a conversation bot.

## An example

Imagine you are writing a bot that ask user her information and calculater her bmi:

### Classic, bad, long, manual way:

```JS

let state = 'init';

let name, height, weight;

bot.on('message', (message) => {

  if (state === 'get_name') {

    name = message;

    state = 'get_height';

    sendMsg('What is your height in meters?');

  } else if (state === 'get_height') {

    height = Number(message);

    state = 'get_weight';

    sendMsg('What is your weight in kilograms?');  

  } else if (state === 'get_weight') {

    weight = Number(message);

    state = 'init';

    sendMsg(`hey ${name}, your bmi is ${weight/(height*height)}`);

  } else if (state === 'init) {

    state = 'get_name';

    sendMsg('Hello. What is your name?');

  }

});

```

### in async bot:

```JS

const bot = async (ctx) => {

  while (true) {

    const name = await ask(ctx, 'Hello. What is your name?');

    const height = Number(await ask(ctx, 'What is your height in meters?'));

    const weight = Number(await ask(ctx, 'What is your weight in kilograms?'));

    await sendMsg(ctx, `hey ${name}, your bmi is ${weight/(height*height)}`);

  }

};

```
