OOP wrappers for the Amazon [Alexa Skill JSON interface](https://developer.amazon.com/public/solutions/alexa/alexa-skills-kit/docs/alexa-skills-kit-interface-reference).

Install via Composer
--------------------

[](#install-via-composer)

```
composer require b00gizm/alexa-skill
```

Example
-------

[](#example)

### Quickstart

[](#quickstart)

Your first Alexa app in less than 10 lines of code!

```
$factory = new Alexa\EventFactory();
$alexa = new Alexa\Alexa($factory);
$alexa->onLaunchRequest(function(Alexa\Alexa $alexa, Alexa\LaunchRequest $request, Alexa\Session $session) {
    return $alexa->getResponse()->addPlainTextOutputSpeech("Welcome to my awesome app!");
});

return new JsonResponse($alexa->process($requestJson));
```

The `Alexa\Alexa` class contains several callback handlers to handle the different Alexa request types:

```
$alexa->onLaunchRequest(function(Alexa\Alexa $alexa, Alexa\LaunchRequest $request, Alexa\Session $session) { ... });
$alexa->onIntentRequest(function(Alexa\Alexa $alexa, Alexa\Intent $intent, Alexa\LaunchRequest $request, Alexa\Session $session) { ... });
$alexa->onSessionEndedRequest(function(Alexa\Alexa $alexa, Alexa\LaunchRequest $request, Alexa\Session $session) { ... });
```

Your callbacks should either return a valid `Alexa\Response` or `NULL` if it does not know how to handle a request (more on that later).

### Writing Your Own Handlers

[](#writing-your-own-handlers)

A more sophisticated way to provide Alexa request handlers is to write own handler classes which implement one (or more) of the following interfaces:

- `Alexa\Handler\LaunchRequestHandler`
- `Alexa\Handler\IntentRequestHandler`
- `Alexa\Handler\SessionEndedHandler`

Own request handlers must be registered with a `Alexa\EventProcessor` instance:

```
$factory = new Alexa\EventFactory();

$processor = new Alexa\EventProcessor();
$processor->setLaunchHandler(new MyLaunchHandler());
$processor->setIntentHandlers([
    new MyFooIntentHandler(),
    new MyBarIntentHandler(),
]);
$processor->setSessionEndedHandler(new MySessionEndedHandler());

$alexa = new Alexa\Alexa($factory, $processor);
```

You may have noticed that there is an array of intent handlers. When writing bigger apps with lots of intents, writing a custom handler for each intent may be the best solution to organize your code base and maintain testability.

Intent handlers are processed in the order as they come in. If a handler cannot handle a certain intent request, it should simply return `NULL` to notify the processor to try the next intent handler. When an intent request could be handled successfully, it should return a valid `Alexa\Response` object signal the processor that it should stop.

**Please keep in mind that `Alexa\Alexa`'s callback handlers will be always be preferred and *will override your registered custom handlers* if you try to use both at once for some reason.**

Autoloading
-----------

[](#autoloading)

This library uses [schmittjoh/serializer](https://github.com/schmittjoh/serializer) for serializing and deserializung, which itself relies on [doctrine/common](https://github.com/doctrine/common) for annotation support. If you're getting weird serializer errors, please append this to your `autolad.php` as a work around for the moment:

```
\Doctrine\Common\Annotations\AnnotationRegistry::registerLoader('class_exists');
```
