Single bot with Multiple Activity Handler

Question

Single bot with Multiple Activity Handler

Jenny Chen 5 Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I'm trying to create a chatbot with message extension capabilities, and, as a result, needs two separate activityhandler - one to react to conversations and one to handle search-based message extension capabilities. What's the recommended way to go about this?

We currently have one Bot with a long activityhandling file and are trying to re-factor and break the activities into two respective handler files. Is there any way for us to refer to those two files in one central bothandler since those two files talk to the same endpoint?

i have the following requirement:

a chat bot that reacts to user messages (replying different adaptive card based on user input/action e.g. sign in) and I have created a messageReactionBot class that extends TeamsActivityHandler

a message extension that searches an external domain for contents and i have created a messageExtensionSearchBot class that extends TeamsActivityHandler that has methods that deals with search input in the message extension

these two activityhandler talk to the same endpoint in y app

in my team's app's bot.page.ts, i have the following

const botFrameworkAuthentication = new ConfigurationBotFrameworkAuthentication({}, credentialsFactory); const adapter = new CloudAdapter(botFrameworkAuthentication); // const bot = new MessageReactionBot(); const bot = new CombinedBot(); await adapter.process(req, res as unknown as Response, context => bot.run(context));

I'm trying to create a single bot activity handler (combinedBot) that would implement methods from both messageExtensionSearchBot and messageReactionBot. How would I go about this? (I would rather not manually copy handler functions from one of the bot to another as that would make the file really long and messy)
