The [Google Assistant SDK][product-docs] lets you add hotword detection, voice control, natural language understanding and Google’s smarts to your devices. Your device captures an utterance (a spoken audio request, such as _What's on my calendar?_), sends it to the Google Assistant, and receives a spoken audio response in addition to the raw text of the utterance. * [Google Assistant SDK Node.js Client API Reference][client-docs] * [github.com/Dabolus/nodejs-assistant](https://github.com/Dabolus/nodejs-assistant) * [Google Assistant SDK documentation][product-docs] Read more about the client libraries for Cloud APIs, including the older Google APIs Client Libraries, in [Client Libraries Explained][explained].

Please, follow [the Google Assistant Library for Python guide](https://developers.google.com/assistant/sdk/guides/library/python/) to get started quickly. ### Installing the client library npm install --save nodejs-assistant ### Using the client library ```javascript // Imports the Google Cloud client library const {Assistant, AssistantLanguage} = require('nodejs-assistant'); // Your credentials const credentials = require('path-to-your-credentials.json'); // Creates a client const assistant = new Assistant(/* required credentials */ { type: 'authorized_user', client_id: credentials.client_id, client_secret: credentials.client_secret, refresh_token: credentials.refresh_token, }, /* additional, optional options */ { locale: AssistantLanguage.ITALIAN, // Defaults to AssistantLanguage.ENGLISH (en-US) deviceId: 'your device id', deviceModelId: 'your device model id', }); // Sends a text query to the assistant assistant.query('Hi!') .then(response => { // response contains all the fields returned by the assistant, such as the text and audio console.log(`Response: ${response.text}`); // response.audio is a Buffer containing the audio response by the assistant }) .catch(err => { console.error('ERROR: ', err); }); ``` Head over the [API docs](https://dabolus.github.io/nodejs-assistant/api/) for more information. ## Samples Samples are in the [`samples/`](samples/) directory. The samples' `README.md` has instructions for running the samples. | Sample | Source Code | Try it | | --------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------ | | Quickstart | [source code](https://github.com/Dabolus/nodejs-assistant/blob/master/samples/quickstart.js) | [![Open in Cloud Shell][shell_img]](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/open?git_repo=https://github.com/Dabolus/nodejs-assistant&page=editor&open_in_editor=samples/quickstart.js,samples/README.md) | | Text Conversation | [source code](https://github.com/Dabolus/nodejs-assistant/blob/master/samples/text.js) | [![Open in Cloud Shell][shell_img]](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/open?git_repo=https://github.com/Dabolus/nodejs-assistant&page=editor&open_in_editor=samples/text.js,samples/README.md) | | Audio Conversation | [source code](https://github.com/Dabolus/nodejs-assistant/blob/master/samples/audio.js) | [![Open in Cloud Shell][shell_img]](https://console.cloud.google.com/cloudshell/open?git_repo=https://github.com/Dabolus/nodejs-assistant&page=editor&open_in_editor=samples/audio.js,samples/README.md) | You might also want to check out [Google Assistant Desktop _(Unofficial)_](https://github.com/Dabolus/google-assistant-desktop-unofficial) for a more concrete example. ## Contributing Contributions welcome!
