Class Method Details

.new(version: , credentials: , scopes: , client_config: , timeout: ) ⇒ Object

A context represents additional information included with user input or with an intent returned by the Dialogflow API. Contexts are helpful for differentiating user input which may be vague or have a different meaning depending on additional details from your application such as user setting and preferences, previous user input, where the user is in your application, geographic location, and so on.

You can include contexts as input parameters of a DetectIntent (or StreamingDetectIntent) request, or as output contexts included in the returned intent. Contexts expire when an intent is matched, after the number of +DetectIntent+ requests specified by the +lifespan_count+ parameter, or after 10 minutes if no intents are matched for a +DetectIntent+ request.

For more information about contexts, see the Dialogflow documentation.

Parameters:

  • credentials (Google::Auth::Credentials, String, Hash, GRPC::Core::Channel, GRPC::Core::ChannelCredentials, Proc) —

    Provides the means for authenticating requests made by the client. This parameter can be many types. A Google::Auth::Credentials uses a the properties of its represented keyfile for authenticating requests made by this client. A String will be treated as the path to the keyfile to be used for the construction of credentials for this client. A Hash will be treated as the contents of a keyfile to be used for the construction of credentials for this client. A GRPC::Core::Channel will be used to make calls through. A GRPC::Core::ChannelCredentials for the setting up the RPC client. The channel credentials should already be composed with a GRPC::Core::CallCredentials object. A Proc will be used as an updater_proc for the Grpc channel. The proc transforms the metadata for requests, generally, to give OAuth credentials.

  • scopes (Array<String>) —

    The OAuth scopes for this service. This parameter is ignored if an updater_proc is supplied.

  • client_config (Hash) —

    A Hash for call options for each method. See Google::Gax#construct_settings for the structure of this data. Falls back to the default config if not specified or the specified config is missing data points.

  • timeout (Numeric) —

    The default timeout, in seconds, for calls made through this client.

  • metadata (Hash) —

    Default metadata to be sent with each request. This can be overridden on a per call basis.

  • exception_transformer (Proc) —

    An optional proc that intercepts any exceptions raised during an API call to inject custom error handling.

Parameters:

  • version (Symbol, String) —

    The major version of the service to be used. By default :v2 is used.
