This repository contains code for the JavaScript version of the Microsoft Bot Framework SDK, which is part of the Microsoft Bot Framework - a comprehensive framework for building enterprise-grade conversational AI experiences.
This SDK enables developers to model conversation and build sophisticated bot applications using JavaScript. SDKs for .NET, Python and Java (preview) are also available.
To get started building bots using the SDK, see the Azure Bot Service Documentation. If you are an existing user, then you can also find out what's new with Bot Framework.

If you want to debug an issue, would like to contribute, or understand how the Bot Builder SDK works, instructions for building and testing the SDK are below.
Clone a copy of the repo:
git clone https://github.com/microsoft/botbuilder-js.gitChange to the SDK's directory:
cd botbuilder-jsInstall the prerequisites.
yarnThen use the following command to build the SDK.
yarn buildUse the following command to run the unit tests.
yarn testThe prep-test.cmd command is run to install test keys and start the Azure Storage Emulator if its installed. Any unit tests needing test keys or the storage emulator are designed to be skipped if their dependencies are missing so most developers won't need to worry about running this command.
If you have a need to re-generate the LUIS or connector clients using the latest swagger you'll need to install autorest (requires Node 7.10.0 or higher), which you can do with the following command.
yarn global add global autorestBelow are the various channels that are available to you for obtaining support and providing feedback.
