Integrations
The /integrations folder contains all our public and open-source integrations. We invite the community to contribute their own integrations to Botpress Cloud.
Integration Development
To develop an integration, start by installing the Botpress CLI:
npm install -g @botpress/cli # for npm
yarn global add @botpress/cli # for yarn
pnpm install -g @botpress/cli # for pnpmThen, in the directory of your choice, create a new integration:
bp initThis command will generate a integration from one of the proposed templates.
This step can be executed in any directory and git repository of your choice. You don't have to fork this repository to create an integration.
You can then modify both the definition and implementation of your integration respectively located in the integration.definition.ts and src/index.ts files.
For more information on how to develop an integration, please refer to the Documentation.
Once your integration is ready, you can deploy it to your workspace using the following command:
bp deployThis will deploy your integration to your workspace and make it available to all your bots.
Making your Integration Public
By default, all integrations are private to the workspace they have been deployed in.
To submit your integration to the Botpress Hub and make it publicly available to the community, please make a pull request to this repository by following these Integration Contribution guidelines.
Bots
The /bots folder contains examples of bots "as code" made only using the client, the SDK and the CLI.
This is not the recommended way to build bots and is in no way a replacement for the Botpress Studio.
However it can be useful for experienced developers who want to build bots in a more programmatic way.
It is also used internally by the Botress team since the Studio and CLI both use the same underlying primitives.
