README

        
VoiceCommerce is a library that makes it to connect ecommerce stores with

voice user interfaces, especially Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Currently it works with any [Vue Storefront](https://vuestorefront.io)-based

store, allowing developers to quickly build voice integrations that provide

common ecommerce features.

[![VoiceCommerce Demo](docs/img/demo-video-thumbnail.jpg)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6yxeykq3XGs)

## Installing VoiceCommerce

To install the library in your local node environment, run:

`npm install --save voicecommerce`

Then, in your project code include the following, to easily connect to

VueStorefront store.

```javascript

const {VueStorefrontApi, Authentication, inMemoryAuthenticationPersistence} = require('voicecommerce')

const api = new VueStorefrontApi({ endpoint: 'https://demo.vuestorefront.io' })

const authentication = new Authentication(inMemoryAuthenticationPersistence);

```

## Building your first Alexa Skill for ecommerce

The easiest way to start building voice apps is with [Jovo framework](https://www.jovo.tech).

VoiceCommerce seamlessly connects with it, giving you a chance to quickly

build a working voice app for ecommerce.

### Boostraping a project

To bootstrap a project, follow this guide: [Bootstraping project with Jovo](https://www.jovo.tech/blog/project-1-hello-world/)

Once you get the hello world working, you're ready to add ecommerce features.

### Adding OAuth

First, you'll need to set up account linking in your Alexa Skill.

For more details, read [how to configure account linking](docs/AlexaAccountLinking.md)

In the index.js file of your jovo project add OAuth handler:

```javascript

  ...

  const oauthConfig = {

    clients: [

      {

        clientId: 'XXXXXX',

        clientSecret: 'XXXXXX',

        redirectUris: ['http://XXXXX']

      }

    ]

  }

  Webhook.use('/oauth', authentication.oauthHandler(api, oauthConfig))

  // generated by jovo

  Webhook.post('/webhook', (req, res) => {

      app.handleWebhook(req, res)

  });

  ...

```

### Reordering action

Then, in the app/app.js file add the following to one of the intents:

```javascript

  const { Reorder } = require('voicecommerce')

  'HelloWorldIntent': function() {

    authentication.getUser(this.getAccessToken()).then((user) => {

      if (!user) {

        this.alexaSkill().showAccountLinkingCard()

        this.tell('Please link your account before making purchases')

        return;

      }

      const reorder = new Reorder(api)

      reorder.call(user).then(() => {

        this.tell('Ordering the same products as usual')

      })

    })

  },

```

That's it!
