Class Method Details

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

Entities are extracted from user input and represent parameters that are meaningful to your application. For example, a date range, a proper name such as a geographic location or landmark, and so on. Entities represent actionable data for your application.

When you define an entity, you can also include synonyms that all map to that entity. For example, "soft drink", "soda", "pop", and so on.

There are three types of entities:

  • System - entities that are defined by the Dialogflow API for common data types such as date, time, currency, and so on. A system entity is represented by the +EntityType+ type.

  • Developer - entities that are defined by you that represent actionable data that is meaningful to your application. For example, you could define a +pizza.sauce+ entity for red or white pizza sauce, a +pizza.cheese+ entity for the different types of cheese on a pizza, a +pizza.topping+ entity for different toppings, and so on. A developer entity is represented by the +EntityType+ type.

  • User - entities that are built for an individual user such as favorites, preferences, playlists, and so on. A user entity is represented by the SessionEntityType type.

For more information about entity types, 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.
