# fluent-ssml

Compose Alexa SSML (*Speech Synthesis Markup Language*) with a fluent interface.

Features:

- support for the full [Alexa SSML Reference](https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/speech-synthesis-markup-language-ssml-reference)

- everything is immutable, which makes it reusable and composable (like strings)

- simple templating

- extensible and testable

- typescript types!

**NOTE:** this package is tested on node v8.4.0

## install it

```

npm install --save fluent-ssml

```

## use it

Most basic template

```ts

import { ssml, renderXml } from "fluent-ssml";

const template = ssml("I am a template");

// prints I am a template

console.log(renderXml(template));

```

Using templated strings for parametric templates

```ts

const template = ssml(p => `${p.name} is a cool dude`);

// prints Jon is a cool dude

console.log(renderXml(template, { name: "Jon" }));

```

Use the fluent api for more complicated templates

This code...

```ts

const template = ssml()

    .p(

        ssml()

            .sayAs("characters", "ssml")

            .say("templates can get quite complicated")

    )

    .p("it's important to keep them composable and parametric")

    .p(

        ssml()

            .say("if you do")

            .break({ strength: "strong" })

            .say(p => `you are gonna keep your ${p.quality}`)

    )

    .sayAs("interjection", "abracadabra");

// produces a simple object model with the rendered template

// easy to use for testing or debugging

const rendered = template.render({ quality: "sanity" });

// produces the final xml

const xml = renderXml(rendered);

console.log(xml);

```

...renders this (reformatted for clarity)

```xml

    


        ssml templates can get quite complicated

    

    


        it's important to keep them composable and parametric

    

    


        if you do  you are gonna keep your sanity

    

    abracadabra
